combatcvicHad my Jura ENA4 for a month. So damn amazing. 900 new on Amazon.
DG_CoffeeGuyJura ENA 4 is as simple as it gets. I’ve given 3 of these to family members with no complaints.
GrimbloodCurrently staying at an AirBNB in Tahoe with a Jura ena4 and it has been fantastic....and that's how i'm looking at the /r/superautomatic subreddit.
MyCatsNameIsBernieFor fully automatic, Jura ENA 4 (it will be above your budget). For semi-automatic, Breville (or Sage in Europe) Bambino - just ignore the fact that it has a steam wand. Pair it with Baratza ESP or DF54 grinder. If that busts your budget, get a Kingrinder K6 hand grinder. For fully manual, one of the Flair machines or Cafelat Robot.
Sancho_IV_of_CastileWe had two Gaggia Breras in a row that had internal leaks, parts popping off, etc. and I decided I wanted the reliability of a Jura. Went with the ENA 4 for its simplicity. It has been great.
shockman23I have jura ena 4 and its been loyal for 4 years now, couldn't be happier with the coffee quality, but im just a casual when it comes to coffee.
slpybeartxJura ENA4 as a present from my job. I use it daily and my Nespresso has sit idle since.
rasmusdfBoth are fine. Consider if you want something with an automatic milk frother, or a steam wand. Other good choices: Jura Ena, Delonghi Eletta or Rivelia. And congrats, super autos are big step up from coffee pods taste wise. And much cheaper in use.
