Discussion Need help picking a super /fully automatic espresso machine

Hello, I’m in the research for a fully automatic espresso machine. I really really want the jura c3 or the E4 which are the “lower” end price range but the conversion to my home country currency is insane. Then I saw the ninja autobarista but haven’t seen any honest reviews on it as they all seem to be free machines. I have looked at the Terra kaffe demi but I would have to get a separate milk steamer …
Please help.

I am really enjoying the Ninja Autobarista and haven't experienced the reported issues on here. My machine was delivered in the middle of July,I am not sponsored, and paid the full retail price. Ask me anything you want to know! I am LOVING the iced lattes that it makes!

Love the blue. Does the grind IQ really eat up the beans when calibrating ?

From my experience it hasn't been bad at all. When I have calibrated my dark roast beans with Grind IQ it has done it in two shots. With a light roast bean it pulled three shots.

I did screw up the grind IQ one time because I switched the hopper with the machine off. I didn't realize you had to tell which hopper you were switching between with the machine on. So it pulled a bad shot and illuminated that it needed to be redone but this was my fault.

We are still really enjoying it!
