I got a Jura e6 from Costco a little over a year ago. Worth every penny, I now prefer my coffee over outside coffee.
Honestly, it'd be hard for anything to live up to a $4,500 price tag. I mainly use my Jura for coffee and espresso, and the $1,000 spent on my latest E6 was totally worth it. I can't imagine what additional features would be worth adding multiple thousands on top of this.
In the past 4 weeks I tried 3 brands and ended up with magnifica plus. First I bought KitchenAid KF7. The coffee was strong but the cleaning was pain especially the drip tray would fill much faster. The machine gave up after 3 weeks. Started leaking.im glad it was under the return period. Then I tried Jura E6 which made the strongest coffee of all. Rivelia and Eletta explore were both meh. The coffee is very diluted and if you reduce the ground size the explore would not even pour. Luckily I could try the magnifica plus at williams sonoma. To my surprise it was much more stronger than any other DeLonghi's. I've been using it for the last month now and quiet happy with it. If you get a discount on prime day then take it. I saw Woot had it for a good discount few days back.
Great timing….. Jura e8 . Factory Refurbished on sale now for $1,800. That’s what I did last year and we love ours. https://us-jura.com/c/AQie8QoQ1-RKGOWerYsCIIfK-BQo4-DSHsljy1owz29t0jecwP4XsRP4tt5vwLgxMJgtXnAU_KYo They also have the e6 for $1k.
After doing taste tests at William Sonoma, I just purchased a Jura E6. It will do the extra shot for over ice and the milk beverages.
Yes, you can buy Jura from authorized Canadian distributors such as Jura Canada: https://ca.jura.com/en. I bought mine in the US on sale and it was a refurb, with all the gadgets to buy, I need to save money. The refurb machine from Jura worked perfectly. Sometimes they send me deals via email. There is another place I would highly recommend: Costco.ca: [https://www.costco.ca/s?langId=-24&keyword=jura](https://www.costco.ca/s?langId=-24&keyword=jura) Costco doesn't have lower priced modals but if you want higher end models Costco is a good choice. Here are some other Jura distributers: * [**Faema Canada**](https://www.google.com/search?cs=0&sca_esv=73afc9bb409a06fd&q=Faema+Canada&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiJ4dDyp92PAxXcrYkEHcWCDn8QxccNegQIFhAB&mstk=AUtExfDa24o5EiCDDN6Dy7zssIRiNH4xgvvte1kBAgOBomNxdxwzU5Vabdg-ZdFPYajlLYcZMCBAR7gelY9dmDUJw7t7tCEofDGXQNhHxHE4WujMvhYbjFpA0EFtcp-yLU_6g-YTWwADCduCHeOUBTHtOlWutmX6Z7O_wvA9MKV9BivPyvk&csui=3) * [**ECS Coffee Inc.**](https://www.google.com/search?cs=0&sca_esv=73afc9bb409a06fd&q=ECS+Coffee+Inc.&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiJ4dDyp92PAxXcrYkEHcWCDn8QxccNegQIFxAB&mstk=AUtExfDa24o5EiCDDN6Dy7zssIRiNH4xgvvte1kBAgOBomNxdxwzU5Vabdg-ZdFPYajlLYcZMCBAR7gelY9dmDUJw7t7tCEofDGXQNhHxHE4WujMvhYbjFpA0EFtcp-yLU_6g-YTWwADCduCHeOUBTHtOlWutmX6Z7O_wvA9MKV9BivPyvk&csui=3) * [Coffeewarehouse.ca](https://coffeewarehouse.ca/) * [ChefSupplies.ca](https://www.chefsupplies.ca/) * [**JURA Canada**](https://www.google.com/search?cs=0&sca_esv=73afc9bb409a06fd&q=JURA+Canada&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiJ4dDyp92PAxXcrYkEHcWCDn8QxccNegQIGRAB&mstk=AUtExfDa24o5EiCDDN6Dy7zssIRiNH4xgvvte1kBAgOBomNxdxwzU5Vabdg-ZdFPYajlLYcZMCBAR7gelY9dmDUJw7t7tCEofDGXQNhHxHE4WujMvhYbjFpA0EFtcp-yLU_6g-YTWwADCduCHeOUBTHtOlWutmX6Z7O_wvA9MKV9BivPyvk&csui=3):
Tried Jura E6 espresso at Sur La Table store and felt in love with it. Didn't know much about coffee and didn't want the the learning curve or spending much time to brew a great cup of Joe. Bought Jura E4 after extensive research: love at first taste. Make 3 cups of Americano per day by manually adding water to Jura made espresso (diff beans diff amt of water). Enjoyed every cup. Great cup of Joe no matter what beans I throw in & easy to clean. Have to admit I'm spoiled by Jura E4 and it's hard to find better coffee brew when I'm outside.
