The big sister for the long coffee day
You insert an E.S.E. pod, and within about two minutes the Sara is ready for the first espresso. Then comes the next, and the one after that – because the large 3-litre water tank and generous drip tray make it the steady constant for families, offices, or small catering moments. Less refilling, less emptying, more coffee.
Like its little sibling, the La Piccola, the Sara works with the E.S.E. portion system (Easy Serving Espresso): pre-portioned pods, cleanly inserted, no grinding or tamping. Precise thermostat control at 98 °C ensures consistent results, backed up by an additional safety thermostat for long-lasting, safe operation.
Also handy in everyday use is the passively heated cup tray, which pre-warms your cups – a warm vessel keeps the espresso at temperature for longer. With a vibration pump, compact footprint, and solid build, the Sara is built for many cups a day.

Frequently asked questions
How different is it from the smaller La Piccola?
The Sara is the larger variant with a 3-litre water tank and a generous drip tray – ideal if you brew often and without frequent refilling.
Which pods does it use?
It uses the E.S.E. portion system (Easy Serving Espresso) for espresso and café crème.
Can I see the machine before buying?
Our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) show a wide selection, but not our entire range – the display changes. Drop us a quick line at [email protected] before your visit, and we will check whether the machine you have in mind is currently on display.
Can I use loose ground coffee in the Sara?
No – the Sara is deliberately designed for the E.S.E. portion system with the standard pod diameter of 44 mm. That keeps handling and results equally simple every time; loose coffee or other pod formats won't fit.
