Unfortunately your average home barista doesn’t have that long to wait in the morning so Sage developed a 3 second heat up time to optimum temperature so you can pretty much turn on and go.

There is a thermocouple on the end of the steam wand to stop the steaming when the milk is at the required temperature.
