Overview¶
Sage Appliances is the European brand name for Breville espresso machines and coffee equipment. Breville — the Australian appliance brand — sells its coffee equipment under the Sage brand in the United Kingdom and Europe due to existing trademark registrations for the Breville name in those markets. Sage and Breville products are identical in engineering and design; only the brand name and packaging differ by region. Sage is positioned in the prosumer and premium consumer espresso market across Europe, competing with De'Longhi, ECM (Espresso Coffee Machines), and Jura.
Brand Background¶
- Sage Appliances is a trading name of Breville Group Limited (ASX: BRG)
- The Breville name is not available for use in the UK and Europe due to pre-existing trademark registrations; Sage was adopted as the European brand name
- Products: Identical to Breville (Australia, USA, Canada, Asia) — same engineering, same SKUs, different branding
