I just spotted an extremely affordable high-street buy in Molly-Mae's coffee bar set up and found the perfect dupe
She's mastered her at-home latte set up


In the opening to the final episode of Molly-Mae's new Amazon Prime series Behind it All, the influencer discusses how important her at-home coffee set up is to her morning routine, as well as the merits of being able to make a good latte at home.
The secret to her plush coffee bar? A mix of high-end and high-street price-tags – namely using a shiny top of the range Sage machine alongside an extremely affordable Dunelm mug.
So if you want to steal her style when it comes to the best coffee machines, then I've tracked down the exact one she uses day-to-day, as well as dupes of her favourite mug style (as the exact version she uses is no longer available) so that you can copy the look as you plot your own coffee bar ideas.
Which coffee machine does Molly-Mae use?
One thing is for sure, Molly-Mae is a big fan of the luxury coffee brand Sage. Back in March, she hosted an event in Manchester serving coffee, where the brand's newest launch made a huge cameo – the Sage Oracle Touch.
Molly-Mae is a fan of the big-name coffee brands. This is clear from the Sage machine, which is featured in pride of place on her Instagram, to her previous investment in a Smeg machine for her office.

As previewed in my first look at the Sage Oracle Touch, the TLDR with this particular machine is that it has everything you need to make barista-quality coffee at the touch of a button, including settings to automatically froth milk for you. It's also very pricey coming in at an eye-watering £2,099.95 from Sage.
The exact machine Molly is using in her documentary series is the Sage the Barista Touch SES880 Bean to Cup Coffee Machine, which is more hands-on when you're making a coffee than the Oracle Touch. However, it is a little more affordable (though it can hardly be considered a steal), with a price tag of £1,050.00 (though it's currently on sale at Currys for £799.99).

Our reviewer during her testing of a similar machine, the Sage Barista Touch Impress.
That product is similar to another machine that one of Ideal Home's reviewers loved from the same brand when she tried it out, the Sage Barista Touch (as shown in our review). Though they're painfully expensive, every Sage machine that's been through our testing protocol to date has impressed us.
