After 12 years with Jura, I wish I had bought this sooner

I purchased this machine after using two Jura machines (the Z6 and D6) over the past 12 years. I had grown increasingly frustrated with never getting the coffee quality I expected from them, not to mention the expensive maintenance. For me, they simply did not justify their premium price. Looking back, I honestly wonder why I didn't buy a De'Longhi in the first place. This is an entry-level machine and, quite frankly, it makes better coffee than my previous Jura machines. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles but that's exactly what I was looking for. In the morning, I make a simple black…

Great machine if you don’t need many extras

Bought the machine during a sale. Great value for the money under those circumstances. Not many extras. But the coffee is honestly good

Love…and dislike.

We have a love, love, dislike relationship with this machine. For making good espresso and coffee on a daily basis (it’s used every day), it does the job and doesn’t complain - sort of.

As a result, checking the water reservoir each morning is part of the routine now. In…

Broken within 6 months - Terrible Product Support

The coffee was incredible, for less than 6 months. We completely stopped picking up coffee from shops and instead preferred to make/drink it at home. Then after a week out of town at the beginning of July, it completely stopped working. I've tried all the troubleshooting steps online and nothing has fixed it, including attempting a factory reset. When I plug it in now, the control panel lights up for 1 second, then goes completely dark. If I pull open the water tray or the grounds tray, the error light for that corresponding part lights up, then when I put them back the control panel immediate…
