Sage's latest release is the drip coffee maker we've all been waiting for, and it's only £249

Sage is the king of the U.K. coffee scene, and while it's best known for its espresso machines, the brand also offers a number of excellent drip machines which make refined pour-over, and come at a comparatively affordable price.

Perhaps Sage's best-known drip coffee maker is the Precision Brewer, and eight years after its initial release, Sage has given it a well-deserved upgrade. Meet The Luxe Brewer.

Retailing at £249, the Luxe Brewer features a range of new features including a strong brew and even cold brew concentrate setting, but the feature I'm most excited about is its removable water tank.

What's new?

The Luxe Brewer already launched in the U.S., where it has both a thermal jug and a glass carafe. This U.K. launch is called the Luxe Brewer Thermal, offering a double-walled carafe that will insulate your coffee for four hours without any additional heat. Which is better for flavour, as hot plates can degrade the taste of your brew.

Carafe aside, Sage has added a jazzed-up new interface to the Luxe Brewer, which allows you to tweak your bloom volume, bloom time, brew temperature and flow rate for full control of your coffee.

There's also a range of pre-set modes: Gold Cup Standard and even Cold Brew. I don't know about you, but it's been a few weeks since I touched a hot coffee, so the addition of a cold brew setting is very welcome!

We'll be testing the new Sage Luxe Brewer in the weeks to come, but in the meantime you can buy it direct from Sage for £249. That's actually less than the OG Precision Brewer, which sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
