This is a review of "1 x Water Filter for UK Sage Coffee Machines | Happy Filters | Barista, Oracle, Dual Boiler, Bambino, Duo-Temp, Touch, Impress | Compatible with Select SES/BES Models"I am the relatively new owner of a Sage Barista Express and the filter was due a change so I was very happy to be able to order this replacement at a fraction of the cost of the OEM. Looks practically identical and fits fine, I'm hoping that it's just as effective as the Sage ones.- - - - - - - - - -Note: As a member of the Vine program I was supplied with this item free of charge.

I recently fitted the Happy Filters water filter into my Sage Barista Express, and it seems to work just as well as the original Sage filters. The dial on top to set the month of insertion and the month to change is a handy feature. However, the numbering is indented on white plastic and not coloured, making it tricky to read when looking into the water tank. Despite this minor design flaw, the filter performs well and is a good value for the price.

This works just as well as our original filter, it looks the same and has a date dial to remind you to change the filter in 12 weeks.A product I am more than happy to recommend and a product I will definitely buy when the need arises.5 stars.

Vastly cheaper than if you buy from Sage however, in my opinion it's not as good. It's slightly bigger and has a different part at the bottom but it will fit into my machine with a little force but it's not as flush as the Sage version. I have the Barista Express.The bits inside rattle much more noticeable than the Sage version which I can barely hear, this one is like a baby rattle! it also has the dates at the top which is always handy but these are in the same colour as the filter so they are barely visible.It's a cheaper version but I think i'll stick with the Sage ones.

The filter looks pretty much the same as my original Sage ones and seems to fit and work without issue. My machine is a Sage Oracle Touch coffee machine. I'd struggle to spot any differences.Seems to work as well as my Sage one, although it's impossible to know whats actually going on. The machine certainly doesn't have any issue with it and the coffee still tastes great.The cost of these at the time of writing is a fraction of the cost of the original Sage ones, so definately worth trying.

The filter arrives loose in a sealed bag that ensures it remains free of contamination. I am pleased it will fit my Bambino Plus coffee machine. While I use pre- filtered water at home, this water filter will be essential when I take the machine on holiday!The clear instructions are on the rear of the sealed bag so cut open the bag carefully. Good value for money.

The Happy water filter fits my Sage Oracle 980. It's identical to the original water filter, and it appears to be doing a fine job so far. Once note of caution though about the ingredients in this filter: a previous water filter I bought that used the same coconut shell ingredients left a considerable amount of floating black matter in my water tank revivor after a few weeks, so I'll be checking on this one regularly. Happy so far? Yes!
