Like the Sage Oracle Touch or the Sage Barista Pro, asks for the user's input during the process. The user is required to fill the portafilter and then tamp it as baristas. This is an excellent option for those looking to feel more in control, but it also means more cleaning.

This can be a lifesaver if you don't always have whole bean coffee at hand.
