Jura coffee machine

TravelJunkie

Was browsing around yesterday...

A jura coffee machine ENA range is 895 euros. Is it worth the investment?

thanks

I don't think so. What's your current setup?

Can't say I'm a fan of bean-to-cup machines.

I'd look at a combination similar to these two:

We have a few Jura bean to cup machines in work. I am yet to get a decent mug of coffee out of them despite trying lots of different beans.

Yeah we tried some Coffee Angel beans in work on our Jura and it didn't really make a difference. Was really hoping it would over the Lavazza beans we normally get.

The Gaggia Brera might be worth a look at €630 on http://gaggia.ie/machine/gaggia-brera/

If you're really interested in achieving good coffee a bean-to-cup is a waste of money.

I used to use a Gaggia Syncrony (it's still here is anyone wants to make man offer!) and while it was very good it wasn't the sort of machine you'd use the very best beans in. Certainly good beans made a difference - I generally used Sequella Oro - but I wouldn't be spending top dollar on beans either.

I know it's damming with faint praise but it made a better cup than you'd buy in most cafés.

That's a very sweeping statement and in my experience factually incorrect. I've had a couple of De Longhi bean-to-cup machines and they make - to my taste, anyway - excellent coffee and just as importantly they do it consistently.

Before that I had a La Pavoni Europiccola and burr grinder which drove me mad. The best quality coffee from it was somewhat - but not greatly - superior to the bean-to-cup machine, but it was maddeningly inconsistent and bits always seemed to be breaking and needing replacement. Plus, my wife could never get to grips with it at all.

If the process of making the coffee is as important to you as actually drinking it, and you want to fiddle with and tweak your equipment, don't go for a bean-to-cup machine. If want good coffee consistently without a lot of faffing around, don't be put off by this sort of nonsense.

hey I love to try jura products I,m not only using it in my house but also in my office it works quite nicely for me not only I love it's design but the variation it gives in the taste of coffee I really like it.I would suggest to read some of the reviews on 9 jura impressa f8, jura capresso impressa c5.

My sister was given a Gaggia Syncrony .
It makes awful coffee - sour and bitter and no body or aroma.
I hate giving her good beans to put in it!!

I had one and found it very good. The internet says they're not a consistent machine but mine certainly didn't produce coffee that was "sour and bitter and no body or aroma". Don't get me wrong I'm not defending beans to cup machine but the Snycrony Logic I had (in fact still have somewhere) was surprisingly good.

I set up my Jura Coffee machine today at home to check it out. It is going to be the machine I carry around to demonstrate my Coffee. Its not practical to carry a Traditional machine.

The steam pressure could be better but other than that Im quite happy with the machine.

Good starter machine though.

A great bean to cup would be a Faema X2.
