Question about Sage the Barista Express

No, the plate is heated by the general heat of the machine. However, the plate does not get really hot, rather nice and warm!

I love the machine and the espresso, but you have to be careful about how you use it because of the high power consumption. It is therefore not suitable for running all day or being heated up briefly, like a capsule machine.

In my case, the machine was delivered with a CH plug.
