Connor: Welcome to this forum. It's great that you enjoy your coffee so much. When I posted this question I assumed that most people have a routine, from the response or lack there of I learned that most people don't or just don't care. I discovered "real coffee" late in life and am getting a...

I have found Jura's technical support to be very good. Call them that's what they are there for. (800) 220-5701 CupaGil

I enjoy the Full City roast Costa Rican Decaf. I also drink a 50/50 blend of Full City and Full City+ roast. This is a custom roaster so you can experiment and find what you like best. Joe, the proprietor will work with you. They have some other Decafs you can try as well. Go to...

This is an interesting and educational thread, in that, at least two very experienced roasters/consumers have made the point that taste preference is an individual thing, it evolves with thoughtful tasting and there are a number of variables beyond roast. I tend to prefer a full city to a full...

You are right there is daily maintenance ( 10 minutes) if you make milk-based drinks and occasional (for me probably monthly 20 minutes) maintenance. Knock on wood so far the reliability has been excellent. I had a self-inflicted issue with milk foaming and Jura support was great and it was...

Your post said your objective was "gourmet tasting" coffee. So to start with gourmet tasting is judged by you since individuals have different ideas about what tastes great. The choice of beans, the roasting process, and the freshness of the roasted beans, all impact the taste, so the fully...

That is the question.

Well, that raises another question that members of this forum would probably weigh in on. If money was no object and you wanted the best possible coffee, why worry, hire your own personal barista, buy less "automatic" equipment, and roast and brew your own to your taste? The question is "what's...

I don't think Bill is a coffee enthusiast, but if you mean "if cost is not a factor", here is a potentially useful link: https://www.coffeeness.de/en/best-super-automatic-espresso-machine/

Hey Shadow: That's great that you think your bean selection and roasting are great and you enjoy your brew. I'm sure your posting this not to impress anyone with how smart and skillful you are. This thread started with someone asking for advice and I made the point that bean selection is one of...

As I said everyone is entitled to their opinion including you. The numerous people who cup coffee, as well as wine, believe that taste can be described and that it's useful. However again, let the people who are interested in comparing decide for themselves. The more different opinions and facts...

Hey Shadow: I have no, none, zero financial interest in anything that I have recommended. Joining a forum to try to prove you know it all doesn't help anyone either. Suggest you advocate something that is potentially helpful vs playing the know it all critic role. Forum bad mouths got old a long...

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but I don't think that is much help to Mr. anonemis.

To my point about the quality of the coffee, this is the comment by a professional taster for this coffee in a review: "Who Should Drink It: People who enjoy licking sugar off tires. (Sorry.)" On further thought, to be constructive, the following link will take you to highly rated single-serve...

Ditto on buy great Beans to produce great coffee' Suggest you go to the site "Coffee Review" for potential roasters and beans, and buy Kenneth Davis's Book 21st Century Coffee: A Guide CupaGil

Mike: Your parents might like a so-called "super automatic" model, once set up just push the button with choices including expresso. The following link might help https://craftcoffeespot.com/espresso/best-espresso-machine-under-1000/ I have a more expensive Jura and am very pleased with the...

The best coffee maker in the world won't make crap coffee anything other than crap coffee. To make these conversations educational, how about starting with the makeup of the coffee we are trying to brew? CupaGil

I think this is good advice. In my experience find the beans that sound good or are recommended to you from a roaster within three days of shipping time try them. If you like the beans and the roast great, but if you need to adjust the roast call the roaster and see if they will custom roast for...

Coffee People: I thought it would be interesting to learn what different coffee lover's daily coffee-related routines are: I'll start with ours, morning we start the day after our typical breakfast of a smoothie, with a seven-ounce cup of most often Peruvian beans roasted 50% full city 50% full...

Satisfying!

Suggest you go to Jura.com.

I Fix: As I said I appreciate your opinion. I wonder what would motivate someone to post something like "if a grinder is too expensive for you". I think whatever can be learned from this thread has been learned so I suggest we move on. CupaGil

? thought you fixed Jura. Buy a grinder when you paid $3000 + for a fully "automatic" machine? I'm in a good place, thanks for your opinions. CupaGil

O.K. the answer is (drum roll) two cups worth of beans are left when the "refill bean hopper" indication comes on in a Jura Z6. So if you switch from caffeinated beans to decaf beans the third cup brewed (six-ounce serving) the third cup will have a minimum of caffeine. This was determined by...

Sounds like your budget has one zero missing. Work harder and save more, life is too short to drink bad espresso. CupaGil

Thanks, I.Fix

After the "Refill the hopper" notification comes on??????????????? The question is the quantity of beans in the machine when the notification comes on. CupaGil

I Fix: Clearly, you're an expert on the innards of the Z6, whats your educated guess in terms of the number of cups when the display says refill hopper? CupaGil

Thanks, first we are not caffeine sensitive so worst case if we drink it after 3:00 PM it might cost us some sleep. I emailed Jura the same question and their answer was that the next cup of coffee would be a combination of caffeinated and decaf, so if it matters throw it away. When I look into...

I want to alternate between regular and decaf beans in my Jura Z6. The question is has anyone measured the amount of beans in the hopper/grinder (# cups of coffee) when "refill bean hopper" appears on the screen? CupaGil

Brian: Tried to post a new Roaster and Coffee, but wouldn't upload? CupaGil

I.Fix.Jura: My Z6 is relatively new and is running great but I hear you. Your email is in my Just In Case file so someday I will be contacting you. For those Jura owners that want to get an idea of what's involved can google"disassembling Jura ZX" and they will be happy to get expert help...

Mooch 91: I was a "just coffee guy" and got interested because of the passion some people had, there must be more to it. I bought a Z6 the first of this year. I have become a coffee fanatic. First, what you said is pretty much true there is an overhead to get really good coffee. The tray gets...

The Least expensive good automatic espresso machines with built-in grinder start around $1000 and go up from there.. I have an automatic mid-range price and love the convenience and coffee. Now hooked on milk drinks.

On June 6, 1851, Angelo Moriondo was born, the inventor of the espresso machine. Let's lift our cup and salute Angelo today. CupaGil

I had a similar problem with overhanging cabinets not giving enough space for my Jura Z6. We found an acrylic beverage cart that was a great solution for us. CupsGil

JR True but nothing stops you from combining standard ingredients, for example, pull an espresso shot or two, standard milk (stop when desired quantity), standard milk foam (stop when desired quantity) not automatic like a standard recipe but expands your repertoire CupaGil.

byron: I have owned my Z6 for 6 months and so far love it. You do have to clean it regularly, daily for the milk system (5 minutes} and when prompted for the entire machine and milk system deep clean, but not that big a deal. You can customize standard recipes and create espresso-based recipes...

Hello, fellow coffee lovers, stumbled on this forum, looks interesting and fun. Have a Jura Z6 and live in the SE USA.
