Jura D6 15216 Automatic Coffee Machine Platinum

This is my 2nd Jura machine. The previous one lasted for 8 yrs. it was a Capresso model 2000. At that time a I elected not to have it rebuilt due to age and costs. So, went a year without one and a generic coffee maker. I have been looking for an Auto espresso machine for some time. I bought this strictly on the reviews and brand name. It is fantastic. You are limited to three different beverages but for me, it works great. The steamed milk frother couldn’t work better. It is a luxury. And vastly improved over the last one on my old machine. In less than 5 seconds, the minute you turn the open valve, it fills the cup with creamy milk. Then the coffee portion comes into play, an finishes with an outstanding cappuccino beverage. No more Starbucks. I will safe a lot of money with this machine and in time, will pay for itself. The only negative is the drip tray. Two pieces that slide in and out. I liked the older model configuration better. But, for a great coffee beverage, this is the one! And for easy set up, I finally watched a utube video. Thanks Jura Capresso!

This machine makes 3 basic coffees; espresso, regular coffee and cappuccinos. All very simple and delicious. It of course produces hot water for tea as well. If I have a complaint it would be that the milk frother assembly is really tucked in and is difficult to grab to remove for cleaning (which is important after each day that milk drinks have been made. This unit uses the same components as higher end models, just lacks capacity and features that we don’t care about. This unit replaces a C1300 that we loved for nearly 15 years before being put out to pasture. We would by the D6 again.

We bought this and price kept dropping and amazon refused to make price adjustments, so I kept returning them until I got lowest price... leveraging the "free returns"... but I'd prefer Amazon adjust price if it drops within 30 days like most retailers (Home Depot for example). Enough about Amazon the Jura D6 is amazing machine considering how fantastic the coffee is, and all the features. (don't bother with bluetooth stuff useless since it requires physical switch to do frothed milk). The ONLY problem I had was one I read about. Folks stated that french roast beans would not feed properly. Generally I only use Kicking Horse coffee (Kick Ass and Decaf blended). I do something some purists will hate... I freeze the beans. Folks say you shouldn't and the real issue is moisture.... so if you freeze them it has to be AIR TIGHT. I use glad slide lock freezer bags and squeeze all the air out. I have NEVER not once had any problem with beans feeding.... UNTIL I ran out of my Kicking Horse coffee and bought ONE bag of Star Bucks French Roast. When I opened the bag the beans seamed very oily. Within 2 cups the feeder was NOT working. I gave the rest away to a neighbor when my Kicking Horse coffee arrived... it still had a little problem feeding for about a week ( ~ 1.5lbs of beans going though ). After a week its working perfectly. The oily texture of Star Bucks beans is what disrupts the feeder. So what I can tell you is that STAR BUCKS french roast beans will NOT work in this machine. If you like french roast, try Kicking Horse Kick Ass beans. They have a decaf version as well... this machine makes coffee so good I drink 2x as much so I use 50% Kick Ass and 50% decaf.... mix them together and freeze in an AIR TIGHT bag. Never been happier. Everyone who comes over loves the coffee and cappuccinos and never turns down a cup.

Returned it after a week. It constantly shows that it is out of beans when the reservoir is full, and you have to open it for EVERY SINGLE cup to shove the beans down into it. Plus the dial for setting the strength gives you about a 3-second window to select your strength before making it on the default setting. Not user friendly in its design even though once it makes a cup, it tastes great. I expect a lot more when dropping $1K on a coffee machine.

I previously owned a Jura machine from 2004-2010. Could not tell you the model but I absolutely loved it. When it finally broke I've tried everything over the past decade...pour over, cold brew, drip, perc, French press, Keurig and Nespresso. All have their advantages and flaws but it boiled down to this; if you want a single cup of hot coffee, ground fresh, strong with a nice crema and you don't want to jump through hoops to do it....you'll have to get one of these machines. PROS- The coffee is hot and outstanding. Both the strength and volume can be adjusted to your taste. The cappuccino is also outstanding; very easy ,the milk froth is very fine , heats up quickly and cleanup is quick. I would describe the espresso as good, but nothing special. My wife and I only like the occasional espresso, so it works well for us. For just under $1000, highly adjustable and programmable and uses an adjustable burr grinder.. We are empty nesters, and do about 5 or 6 drinks a day. The bean hopper (about 7 oz) last quite a while before refill, as does the 64 oz water tank. The machine heats up quickly from the off position and dispenses your drink of choice quickly. Essentially cleans itself and looks nice on the counter. CONS- Instructions are not good. You pretty much need to play with the machine on your own to figure out the settings, which are not particularly user friendly. Buttons, knobs and overall feel is somewhat cheap and plastic. Knobs dial to your desired setting via a 90's looking LED screen without snapping into place. Would like to see a little more metal. Overall however, the PROS far outweigh the CONS. The machine does exactly what I purchased it for and does it well. And once you figure out the settings and make them permanent, it is easy to use. Very happy with it.

Hasta ahora todo funciona muy bien. Espero que dure años. Lo que no me gustó es que enjuaga antes de ponerla en funcionamiento y antes de apagarla también, no pasa nada pero es ruidosa.
