This is quite a good deal: https://www.blackcatcoffee.co.uk/collections/eqipment/products/bezzera-bundle-hobby-bb005-grinder-accessories
Might be worth phoning up and speaking to Dave @ BlackCat Coffee about it. He’d probably advise to go this route over the Sage from the repair / longevity perspective. I suspect it doesn’t have the pre-set functionality of the Sage, so you will need to be more hands on with it.
Apparently Sage give a 20% discount to NHS staff @benson, so if you e-mail them (using your NHS address) and enquire you can probably get this discount from the Sage appliances directly from them. This may be the gamechanger for you
