 the machine that changed my latte life October 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is the 3rd espresso machine that I've had and my first fully automatic. Prior to this purchase, I believed that fully automatics were financially out of my reach. The E8 grinds, tamps, brews the exact amount of espresso that I want using the perfect pressure and a gauge to set the number of ounces I want to brew, lightly cleans itself with daily use, and tells me when I need to add water or dispose of used espresso pucks. Prior to the E8, I spent a good deal of time grinding (with a separate appliance) and cleaning my equipment with every use. Now my espresso/lattes are brewed quickly, perfectly and effortlessly. It's nice to also be able to brew a quick cup of tea via the steamer. I would recommend this machine to anyone who is a serious espresso drinker and/or home barista.
Perfect Brew March 4, 2008

Makes a perfect cup of espresso. Wonderful Americano. Easy to use, "must" read instructions first. Made the "big" mistake of not installing the water filter, in less then a month needed to decalcify the machine but decalcifying tablets were not included with it. If you have hard water you must keep the machine maintained well. A little time invested in this is well worth it.
With what was spent at Starbucks this machine will pay for itself in less than 6 months.
Jrra-Capresso Espresso Machine - GREAT!! March 3, 2008
This is truly an outstanding addition to our kitchen. I brought mine based upon visiting friend from work and have not regretted it for a moment. Someone did complain about a failure in their machine. That is actually a benefit because they are returned and fully checked out and resold but at a SIGNIFICANT discount, which is how I bought mine and have not experienced any problems unless one included drinking more really good coffee throughout the day. Now time to head downstairs for another cup!
coffee convenience December 29, 2007

I bought this machine about two years ago. At the time I thought it was pricey, but decided that in the long run, it would pay off. It has.
PROS:
CONVENIENCE. There is nothing like coming down in the morning, pressing a button, and having a good coffee, which is freshly ground for you while you wait. The separate boilers allows you to immediately switch from foaming milk to producing espresso.
EASE. My partner and parents (who wouldn't touch my Gaggia classic because it was too complicated) all use this machine without hesitation.
DURABILITY. After two years, our well-used machine (2-3000 cups) has not needed a repair.
VERSATILITY. The coffee bypass is extremely convenient, given that my partner and I frequently prefer different roasts - it is very simple for one of us to grind our own and use the bypass to produce our preferred cup.
ECONOMY. The initial price tag for this machine is high. But when you compare it with the cost of buying 1-2 cappuccinos per day from your local barista...you can quickly see that the machine pays for itself.
CONS:
COFFEE QUALITY: Very very good, but I suspect that the pressures are just not quite high enough to make the coffee of nirvana. Still very good.
FOAM QUALITY: We've never been able to produce the perfect foam from this machine, but again the quality is high enough, and the convenience makes it worth it.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE: The machine does require regular (about every 5 wks) cleaning and descaling, using tablets purchased from the manufacturer. It's a slight inconvenience, but the procedures are easy to follow and take about an hour each.
*****
UPDATE THREE YEARS AFTER PURCHASE: After three years of use, our Jura has started giving us an "Error 8" message and its first major repair, which is to replace a large chunk of the brew group. The repair guy claims that this is a common error for this machine, and is expected to cost us ~$150. We also estimate that we pay about $100/year for cleaning tablets. I still really love this coffee machine (we use is several times every day) but thought that these additional maintenance costs would be useful to see in a review.
Jura Capresso - no ka oi!! December 22, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
No Ka Oi means the "best" in Hawaiian. We have had our Jura Capresso E8 for over a year. We have had problems with it but customer service at Capresso has been the very best. We had to return it recently because the darn thing kept telling us to clean the machine when it had recently been cleaned and we got tired of seeing the message.
While it was at repair I had to use my traditional Moka pot to make espresso. It took ten minutes from start to finish!! grind the beans, tamp the beans, add the water, put on the side of the electric burner, watch and listen. Boy did we miss our machine!! I emailed Capresso Repair while the machine was there and asked if they could make the espresso stronger like my Moka pot when it came back. Yup. They did so.
I don't know what the real differences are between this bottom of the line Capresso and the $4000 ones that I see at William Sonoma, but they look very similar -- same size water tank, same size coffee dispenser, etc. If there is less plastic I don't care. This one sure keeps me far away from Starbucks. I can't even stand their espresso anymore!!
Aloha,
Ellie
