Color Name:Ristretto Black
Have had the machine for about 3 weeks now and so far the machine is doing great. Got it refurbished for $599 through JL Hufford (recommended company). To get a $1200 machine (brand new) for $600 (pre-brewed) is a great deal and can't even tell it is previously used.
Very good machine and has several of the bells and whistles that more expensive machines have. Jura Capresso is a very reliable brand and I am very happy with the performance of the machine. Some areas for improvement, but they are very tolerable in the overall scheme of things. Sorry for the long review but wanted to make it as helpful as possible. It took me a lot of research to finally land on this machine.
What I like:
- Easy to use.
- Makes great pressure brewed coffee and good espresso. Espresso won't be as good as a manual machine but still quite good if you use the right settings and quality beans. This is the same for all super automatics.
- Has some basic programmability to remember default settings for 1 cup.
- Several ways to customize drinks (water output, grinder fineness, amount of coffee for strong, normal or mild).
- FrothXpress system is good if making multiple drinks and looks nicer as the default wand on the machine. Although, I prefer the Dual Frother Plus (traditional wand) for making one cup (more control over temp, froth, etc). TIP: make sure to rinse out the Dual Frother Plus and the FrothXpress after EVERY use. Otherwise, milk will cake up and can cause a steam explosion. Poor reviews based on this from others is user error, not the machine.
- Auto self rinsing cycle (when turned on and off) and easy to read indicators for filling water, emptying grounds, fill beans, cleaning, etc.
- Relatively quiet operation
- 1 or 2 spout dispenser
- Bypass doser
- Tall cup height
- Custom Auto off timer (1 hour, 2 hour, etc) to save energy. Zero energy pull when off.
- Slim and nice design, quality construction. But still as deep as other machines.
Areas for improvement (tolerable drawbacks):
- The temperature of drinks is somewhat inconsistent. Second drink always seems hotter, even after doing the right warm up steps. TIP: Make sure to pre warm the cups with hot water dispenser, this helps a lot.
- FrothXpress system does not heat the milk quite as good as the normal wand. TIP: If using the FrothXpress, you can do the steam only feature afterwards to heat the frothed/steamed milk a little more.
- No cup warmer. Need to use hot water dispenser. Using the hot water will actually make the cups hotter than a warming tray anyway, but it's just an extra step.
- Need to adjust cup size during processing and can't before brewing (if different than the programmed amount).
- Small water tank (37 oz). Even for a 2 person home and a few shots per day, you will refill often. Not a big deal really. But heavy users may want to take note.
- No Auto On feature for the mornings, no clock and no usage stats. Auto on would be great, but only takes a minute to warm up.
- Water filters are expensive ($20, recommended every 2 months). I'd only use if you have hard water or you absolutely feel the need to have filtered water or you don't ever want to descale. Cheaper to descale every few months. Although, with the filter you never have to descale (supposedly).
- I wish the steam wand had more range of motion.

Color Name:Ristretto Black
This thing is great. I read reviews and labored over this purchase for weeks because of all of the mixed reviews and the suggestions that none of these things are reliable. It makes great coffee and the milk steamer is too easy. I'm now addicted and can't go back to sleep if I wake up because I'm now like Pavlov's dogs. My mouth waters for a cappuccino as soon as I wake up.
Who knows, maybe this thing will break and I'll be disappointed, but so far, i have only good things to say about this machine.
As a maker of complicated mechanical and electrical devices and as the guy who writes the owner's manuals and provides customer service for problems that get escalated, I suspect that many of the complaints are from those who don't read manuals and have no patience for maintenance of any kind. Keep the steamer attachments clean, make sure you dry out your oily beans and use the filter or good water and the results are fabulous. I highly recommend this machine to careful users. If you can't or refuse to give it the attention it deserves, buy a Mr. Coffee or ask for Starbucks gift certificates for Christmas or your birthday.

Color Name:Ristretto Black|Amazon Verified Purchase
Pros: Very easy to customize your cup of coffee - controls are intuitive and user friendly; FrothExpress is an awesome feature for steamed or frothed milk; self-cleaning process is very nice, and the machine overall is very low maintenance; makes a consistent, tasty cup of your favorite coffee beverage with excellent crema each and every time!; small footprint takes up less space than just about any coffee maker out there; less than 2 minutes from the time you press the "on" button until you have a fresh brewed, custom coffee drink; the water tank, bean hopper, and dregs box are easily accessed.
Cons: When you set the "auto off" feature, be sure to keep a cup under the coffee nozzle - when the machine turns off, it rinses the nozzles, and will splash the machine and counter otherwise (this is a minor annoyance); the water tank and bean hopper will need to be refilled often, because you WILL hit this machine a lot (since this is a function of the small machine footprint, I don't really mark it down on this basis, but wanted readers to be aware); the FrothExpress spews a little water before the steamed/frothed milk flows; That's it!
My wife and I bought this for ourselves for Christmas, and we have absolutely no regrets. The only question remaining for me is the longevity of the machine. We'll have to see on that one.
Dealing with Amazon was awesome, as usual, and we had our machine in a matter of a few days. Set up was very easy, and the included CD made it fun to set up and use. I know this machine is a major investment, but in my opinion all coffee lovers will get much use and enjoyment out of this machine.

Poor froth nozzle
I have years of experience making my own lattes. The frothing wand is poorly designed on this machine. It has a weak connection and can come off mid froth. Beware.
