Replacement water filter — compatible with Sage coffee machines (replacement part, not original brand) Why you need this filter Consistently better-tasting coffee: removes chlorine and impurities that dull flavor, so espresso and milk-based drinks taste cleaner and more aromatic. Protects your machine: reduces limescale, odors, volatile substances and heavy metals (Pb, Hg), helping prevent deposits and extending the life of heating elements and internal components. Simple maintenance: built-in visual indicator reminds you when to replace the cartridge — every 3 months or after 100 litres of water — for reliable performance without guesswork.
