Jura A1 Super Automatic Coffee Machine, 1, Piano Black

Product Information

Both Jura and Nespresso will deliver good strong espresso every day. Aside from that, the choice will be dictated by your preferences. The outside is made from plastic, but Jura coffee machines are built to last and to work seamlessly. Weighing in at a solid 9.2kg, you don’t get all that machinery without some heft. But it still remains incredibly compact at 12.7” high by 9.7” wide by 17.5” deep. This can legitimately be described as a compact coffee machine and will slide nicely onto most countertops. Many of the features that make Jura so popular are found on both models. Both come equipped with the PEP pre-infusion system, which helps create a great-tasting espresso shot every time.

You want to make milky drinks– We don’t recommend the A1 if you like latte, cappuccino or other milky coffee drinks unless you already have milk frother. Since this model doesn’t have milk frothing system, the Jura ENA 8 would make a better choice. The Verdict On The Jura A1 – 4.45/5 Espresso machines are also a good option if you favour a range of milk-based drinks or fancy learning latte art, thanks to their steam wand. And they come with plenty of other accessories too, including a milk frothing jug, portafilter, tamper and interchangeable filters.

Jura Coffee Machine Troubleshooting

Coffee beans come in different roasts and sizes. When you grind your beans, they can produce flakes and other residual particles that may clog your grinder. Most of the Jura machines include a stainless-steel burr grinder. While there are plenty of machines that still use pods and K-cups, this super-automatic machine runs on real coffee, which is better for your taste buds and your wallet. Adding to its longevity and promoting an even more eco-friendly experience (as well as saving you money on electricity), the Jura A1 features a programmable automatic switch-off feature and a patented Zero-Energy Switch to ensure high energy efficiency. Do Not Buy The Jura A1 If…

Additionally, the model has a 1.1 litre water tank, zero-energy switch and a one-touch operation. It's also twice as fast as the G3 grinder, can be programmed to three different coffee specialities, and can use either pre-ground or fresh coffee beans. So when it comes to overall build quality, the Jura A1 is solid and robust regardless of the plastic build and does give that premium aethstetic feel. Grinder The Jura A1 is no exception, producing the highest quality espresso. That quality should mean that before long, you’re waving goodbye to expensive coffee shop-bought espresso in favor of the gorgeous coffee produced by the A1.
