Why I buy this one ?
- Capable of making any style of cappuccino, latte or espresso. 15-Bar pressure
- The LCD display shows you in words what is happening in the machine. It will tell you when to add beans, add water, when to decalcify and even if the brew group is slightly out of place
- Bypass Doser. This is used with ground coffee only. Perfect for those occasions when you don't want to be caffeinated or have decaf-only guests. If you are naturally a decaf drinker then use the bypass doser for regular instead
- Easy Clean System. The brew group is where your coffee is tamped, brewed and dispensed. The brew group compartment is completely separated from the electrical compartment, fully accessible and can easily be kept hygienically clean
- Opti-Dose feature. Here you will find a lever that will allow you to adjust the amount of coffee to be ground for each individual cup

What our customer's say!

"bye bye starbucks", After many years and many mahines I think I found THE MACHINE. You have to be patient setting it up, and expect a few days of trial and error cups, but once you have this puppy dialed in you will have the most amazing coffee, expresso, etc. in less than 2 minutes. The frothing is the best I have ever experenced on any machine

"Nice Coffee", This machine makes nice coffee and is very convienent. I would rate it higer except for the cheap materials and a few glaring design flaws. The preground portion dumps the coffee grounds about 30% of the time. Several design flaws are glaring such as you have to tilt your cup and pour out any thing above near full to remove the cup from the steam wand. An additional 1/2 inch clearance of the wand from the rince stand would have solved this. The steam wand produces ample steam and works very well. The plastic rinse holder and the dredge drawer are made of the cheap kind of plastic that pretty well disappeared among quality American manufacturers years ago. The preground lid has no detent to hold it in place and is only held on by gravity. OK but you have to be very careful not to knock it off in the floor because it also is made from very cheap brittle plastic like the other removable parts. To be fair it should be stated that the machine has worked well for about a month. I do feel that a machine of this price could have used $3.00 more investment to get quality materials. As it is there will be costly maintenance down the road.

"Truly automatic ", Works as advertised, biggest downside is making coffee becomes too easy - I drink more now (and I drank too much before). I use this machine to make regular coffee rather than espresso - I use French Roast. Makes small cups of espresso to large mugs of regular coffee, all with crema, so it tends to be a pretty potent cup of coffee. There are three sizes of cups - all easily programmable to suit the capacity of any normal cup/mug. If you wish to fill a 16 oz mug, press button twice and it will make 2 cups in immediate succession.

The by-pass hopper allows ground coffee to be used instead of beans, most common application would be for decaff. The one glitch I have found is you must remember to wait for the machine to warm-up before putting ground coffee in, or it screws up the rinse cycle.

Warm-up cycle is about 2 minutes and remains in hot standby mode for a couple hours. Brews a large cup of coffee in 1 minute. I am not a cappucino drinker so do not use the frother, though I tried once without much success. Probably my technique rather than the machine.

Set up is straightforward. Assemble a few pieces and within 10 minutes or so you'll be making coffee (the coffee beans that came with it were undrinkable to my tastes). Dregs are discharged into a drawer that holds 10 or so "pods" of dregs before alerting the user the drawer is full.

Every 30 cups or so, the brew mechanism needs to be removed and cleaned. Its a little intimidating at first, but only takes a few minutes the next time around.

Overall, nice luxury item. I bought mine at Costco for $850, delivered. I considered the Jura as it produces 18 bars of pressure versus Saeco's 15, but the price was just too good to pass up. Not sure if the extra pressure would make a difference - I am happy with the coffee this produces.
