[@jayshoaps2546]

I have this machine and love it. Lasts like crazy. I have like 12 shots most days and zero signs of wear or malfunction after years, which makes it a good value.

[@glockparaastra]

I have had one for 1.5yrs and am very happy with it. Remember to only adjust the grinder settings while the grinder is grinding.

[@pickmeisha]

She could review any damn thing and I’d buy it. Lol

[@montyknittel8022]

Bought one of these last Summer. It is an excellent option for espresso and coffee. Easy to use and maintain. Totally worth the money. My only wish would be for a bigger water reserve.

[@teacherted9492]

Monty Knittel How do you warm up your cups? Cus it doesn’t have a water spout. Is it possible to have a double shot of espresso, like “double click” or smth like that?

[@jayshoaps2546]

@@teacherted9492 I add ice to mine as too hot to immediately drink. Have to press each time

[@jefferydewberry7659]

I watch every video because Gail is awesome!!!!

[@operationhotshotinc.6887]

I like Gail crew review or whatever as long as she’s infront of the camera 🎥 ☕️ 👩🏼‍💼

[@badhabitshirts]

Yesterday I’ve ordered the A1 Jura from Seattle Coffee GearLooking forward for my espresso on Saturday. Also ordered capresso pro automatic milk frother and steamer.❤️

[@RokonuzzamanRokon-m7m]

Thanks for your advice!

[@joeypore]

Definitely going with this one. Quality is top of the line for a super auto machine of this price point.

[@christierogers5149]

Thanks so much, I so appreciate how you call it like you see it and give it to us in plain English! 😊

[@mbaerenstecher]

Great demo and personal commments about the Jura A1. Would also appreciate you showing how to load and clean the coffee makers in your next videos.

[@glockparaastra]

Can’t wait to get mine tomorrow....

[@kenbutter]

We have been using the ENA Micro 1 for about 3 years now and really like it. We mainly use it to make a cup of coffee with a nice layer of crema on top. We aren't interested in coffee drinks that have foamed milk and so appreciate the fact that it doesn't include any unecessary functionality. Curious to know if, in your opinion, the A1 produces a markedly better coffee/shot? Are there other superautos out there that also make decent shots/coffee without the milk accessories?

I'm agree with you a good coffee don't need sugar or milk

[@noname3499]

I'd love to see a review of espresso only super automatic machines. I like a double shot fancied up with a little sugar and some half & half. Ty for what you guys do, there is so much useful information. ❤

[@khoroshsabzi]

How do the flavor compare to a semi-automatic like a Breville BES870XL?

[@joaoeduardocattani]

Hello. See if you can help me. I would like to disable the "shutdown after two hours" setting on this machine. It's possible?

[@christopherbarton6694]

Can the Jura A1 dispense hot water? Trying to determine if it could make an Americano.

[@user-xg6zz8qs3q]

Nope! You gotta buy the Jura D4 for that functionality

[@emr7956]

I love this review Straight to the point no frills

[@JK-ug7rm]

I like this machine because it doesn't do milk and single serve. but i hate the leaning design. the leaning disrupts and distracts my kitchen. what is similar to this machine?

[@theSunKing142]

Proposal - then you have to change your kitchen😉

[@JoeCiliberto]

I have had Saeco Royals throughout most of my adult my life, from the first one I bough in Seoul, in the late 80s to the one I had for at least ten years that I gave to my nephew-in-law (he is a sushi chef after all). before that I had taken one of my Royals to my 200 person office, sat it next to the office drip- coffee tanks, where many people used and abused it. I gave that one away when it started to leak. I had all my units serviced (which involved a trip from Northern Virginia to Pottsville PA). My latest Royal got services in nearby Gaithersbug. When I bought that one in Seoul ($770) , my friend who made a lot more money that me bough the cheaper Saeco Vienna ($440). Unsurprisingly he continued to move onward and upward and ended up living buying a $750K 22nd floor condo overlooking Honolulu Harbor. In it he has this Jura (I don't know the model). It cost him more that $3K. I admired its sleek minimalist (almost Danish) styling compared to my rumorosso e corpulento superautomatica. A month later, and approximately six months of irregular use, the Jura expired. Addio tremila dolari! Ciao! Both repair persons commented on the differences between the machines. They both said, ten years apart, not knowing one another, one with 40 years of repair the other 15 years of experience, having repaired systems from bare metal up. Saeco, particularly pre-Philips, uses better materials.

[@lucasrem]

Gaggia is the big name in building miniaturized coffeeshop machines for home use, Saeco the original maker of the super automatic machines, Philips just the investor, joined forces. Using home devices in the office need a schedule, or a cleaning staff, you need to refill them with water, beans, milk, not a very good solution if you don't have staff to do that. All production is outsourced to China, most super automatic machines chair parts, brew groups, system boards. Cheap now, they just use a lot more plastic, not build to last years. All these new machines just need to be replaced, it's not your Gaggia Classic that can be fixed on ever issue.

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

Fascinating story, Joe! We love when people find the machine that works for them, and Saeco definitely isn't a name to be overlooked! Cheers!

[@stoyanpapanchev3626]

yes ,but now the phillips saeco is made in romania not in italy like the old models.why dont you buy a new saeco model to see how long will last. i too have a saeco incanto for over 10 years and i cant complane.But the quality is way better with the old models.a new model won't last 5years in my opinion. :)

[@pitmaster05]

I also have Saeco Royal for more than 10 years now - regularly serviced, and still working great and making great coffee ( Lavazza is my preferred brand )...

[@teacherted9492]

Congrats for the great review Gail as you always do Gail 😁👏🏻. Question: Is it possible to “double click” or smth like that for a double shot ? Thanks in advance

[@andrewholcomb3598]

It would be very interesting to make a video on modding the ec-155, there are many forums online, and I just think it would make for fresh new content!

[@joergmueller2248]

Hi Gail - I like your straight forward presentation and the way you name facts; I appreciate your (and the crew's) video's. I have one question though: the free programmable shots - what is the max of a programmable shot? 200 ml or even more? 240 ml?

[@TheApple12321]

Hello, great video, How is the taste of the espresso? Compared to a manual espresso machine...

[@theSunKing142]

simple answer - the taste is way better 😉

[@Espectro101]

Gail is great but that shot doest look like it would pack a punch.

[@amercer89]

Hi Gail I had the ena 1 can you taste the difference between the two I had my ena 1 for 4/5 yrs maybe worth an upgrade?

[@judynaruse3811]

is it easy to clean the machine? how about de scaling? how often?

[@frogchaser]

a bit late on a reply but the machine cleans itself on power on and power off. it will also alert you when it needs de-scaling or you can do it manually.

[@tru2hapi]

Nice review. Thanks

[@JCrightfield]

hey there, i really enjoy your video with all the coffee stuff and gear. I work for Jura Taiwan, this is really good to introduce Jura A1. I would love to share this video to customers and just add Chinese version subtitle on that. is that okay for you!?

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

Hi Jesse - unfortunately not. Feel free to email our customer service and maybe we can figure out a better solution!

[@JCrightfield]

Hi, thanks for reply and suggestion. Really appreciate for your kind help.

[@trex1448]

how is the grinder? Is it subpar shots compared to Ran Silv or other manual machines that you can dial down?

[@kristian1497]

Mike Thurston brought me here :D

[@hernan5184]

Me too! LOL

[@civileng67]

Does this make good, black coffee or is it more like an Americano?

Was that shot a 60ml one?

[@MinnVet]

Can you dispense hot water only for hot chocolate?

[@judynaruse3811]

Can you make an americano?

[@jungeunoh1477]

Does it work only get hot water??

[@jamesmurphy8014]

Great review and video very interesting and informative as well as entertaining. Thanks

[@klarinetta]

If I wanted a superautomatic machine this would be something for me as I don't want milk in my coffee and this machine is super simple and quiet. cons for me are only 1 scoop not 2 of pre-ground and I would have to do 2 smaller shots as 7-10 g are too litle for me plus superautos do not go near as fine as espresso grinders do.

[@JK-ug7rm]

This is the subject I would like to learn more about... I'm tired of the coffee mess in my kitchen, and looking into superautomatics or pod (e.g. Lavazza Blue). I want pure espresso; no milk or added flavors. I want strong/bold flavor espresso. I think of coffee on a bell curve. There's a lot of average espresso. I imagine people are spending $5,000+ to try to be in the top 1% leading edge of espresso making, and don't mind cleaning up the mess. For me, I might be happy being in the 80% quality of espresso making as long as it doesn't cost too much, or require too much cleaning. I figure making espresso can't be too hard nor expensive, but milk will add to the complexity and cost. Doing 2 espresso shots to achieve the quanity and same concentration as 20g of coffee sounds like a good compromise for being superautomatic, as it means waiting and pushing a button. BUT...I am VERY interested in more discussion around the coffee ground size, and how that changes the espresso.

[@williamgoldman6658]

I have the A1 and I love it! I do exactly what you mentioned above-I make two small shots at 10 grams each and they come out pretty darn good. If I don't do it this way they come out to weak and watery for my taste. I'm highly discriminating and these shots come out pretty close to a high end coffee shop.

[@Farcry101010]

William Goldman is the 10 grams something you program? Also can you program the amount of actual espresso per shot? Meaning 10 g of coffee = 0.75 oz. of espresso in cup? On my Synchronika I do 1.5-1.75 oz espressos with 18 grams coffee. I’m not sure how this A1 works. I do want one.

[@williamgoldman6658]

Hi Farcry, There are 2 permanent setting options you can choose. 1 bean is about 6 or 7 grams and 3 beans is 10 grams the water amount for espresso can be set precisely and quite easily. So I set mine at about 1 ounce and use the 3 bean (10 gr) setting. I am very discriminating and approach espresso like fine wine tasting. When I use my favorite beans(not too oily) the espresso this machine produces is as good and often times better than high end coffee shops because it is so consistent unlike human baristas. I hope this helps!

[@Farcry101010]

William Goldman hi William. Thank you for the reply. Ok. One more question. If u want a regular cup of coffee. Say a 12 oz. cup. Does this unit make a good cup. Or do I have to make 2-10gram coffee shots at 60z each? Meaning if I want to make a 12oz. Cup can I just hit the 3 bean (10g) for say 12 oz. of water? Will the coffee be weak? Thank u in advance

[@noviceprepper5397]

thanks for the video. nice machine. how much does it cost?

[@RokonuzzamanRokon-m7m]

Nearly $800+

[@Palatinama]

No Cappuccino?

[@christianpedersen3237]

I wish she would show how the maintenance of the damn thing is. Like, what side does the guts come out of?

[@coletted00]

i have this machine and the grounds and tray get pulled out from the front panel!

[@Jules-bass]

You can't remove the infuser, that's where jura's evil comes out. they make you call a jura technician every year otherwise the machine will clog up. and believe me, super autos get extremely dirty and moldy if you don't clean the infuser. Jura does have auto clean functions just like saeco. but that's just not enough. wet coffee grounds always find a way to get stuck somewhere and grow mold.

[@christianpedersen3237]

@@Jules-bass Whoopsies, that's a pain in a**. I wish they had covered that in the video, because that is actually extremely important when choosing between machines.

[@operationhotshotinc.6887]

Is the full cup of coffee option strong or watery due to only 10 grams of coffee ??

[@aaronmarogna1054]

Watery. Just got mine about two weeks ago. This is definitely lacking adjustability. But still a nice small unit

[@teacherted9492]

Aaron Marogna How do you warm up your cups? Cus it doesn’t have a water spout. Is it possible to have a double shot of espresso, like “double click” or smth like that?

[@petermendelson5839]

@@aaronmarogna1054 I just programmed the coffee cup button to make 1/2 cup of coffee, make it twice, and it makes a really nice full cup of coffee (and that's using the one bean symbol, not the three, which would be even stronger - too strong for me and my wife). Yes, you have to push the coffee button twice and it takes a bit longer, but it works for me.

[@aaronmarogna1054]

@@petermendelson5839 Yes, That is exactly what I ended up doing. Not a huge deal but just different from my Gaggia Titanium that the A1 is replacing.

i think super automatics are dead after breville oracle

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

The Oracle really is a special machine. But some people really love the simplicity of the A1! Makes a great cup, especially when you're not making milk based drinks.

[@FMichael1970]

The Breville Oracle is listed for $2500. Just get the DeLonghi XS. It can brew a good espresso, and froth milk.

[@braunhausmedia]

Hmmm, let's see, $700 vs. $2000. I think I'll buy three A1's instead.
