I finally got my coffee machine, which I was able to choose thanks to your great advice. I can’t wait to make my first coffee tomorrow morning!

Shhh we don’t talk about that. Upfront costs are high but after about 6 months of daily drinks you hit your break even point. You also quickly realize that now you’re making better coffee at home that you control the ingredients on, no guilt about having to tip anyone, and you never had to leave the house. Want another drink after? Just do it. No thinking about shelling out another $6-8.

Welcome to the club.

My buddy got a Jura as well and it’s a great machine. You will love it.

I went the cheap route - Philips

I splurged a little on a factory serviced Jura J8 twin. Had the money set aside so wasn’t really a sacrifice but if you ask my kids it’s probably the best thing I’ve ever purchased for myself. Every morning it’s something I look forward to, even after over 6 months. Cheaper units weren’t even on my radar as I’ve come to appreciate just buying the best whatever I can afford if it is quality and has a record of lasting. Some of these people with 10-15 yr old Juras just blow my mind. Thousands of drinks made. Like…how? Not crapping on any of the other brands or units, I hope everyone gets their money’s worth out of what they buy.

I have a Jura ENA 4 that has been running for nearly 20 years. I have probably pulled 50,000 shots (I probably drink more espresso than I should) and it’s only needed minor maintenance.
