Saeco Talea Touch Plus Automatic Espresso Machine with Bonus Milk Island Review

So far we are enjoying this product although now that we have it there are a few things we would buy different next time. We would buy a machine that could be hooked up to a water supply as the reservoir is a bit on the small side, and we would actually try some out at a sales center as the water pump is a bit noisy. Having said that, we are still happy with it, and it makes a pretty consistent espresso. We figure we have saved 175.00 our first month by not going to Starbucks.

Jura ENA 9 One Touch Review

First off, being a lazy old fart who can't be bothered with manually making froth under one nozzle and then coffee from the other, I was looking for a machine that's totally automatic and hassle free. Just one-click and by the time I wear my tie, my Cappuccino is ready.

So I did a bit of research online before settling on this one about four months ago, and boy am I happy with it (wasn't available on Amazon at the time).

Not much to add to SpeadDeacon's excellent review except that this machine is made mainly for use with whole Coffee Beans, with a light, medium and strong roast settings for the grinder.

Yes, it has a second opening on top for fine grounded coffee but only if you're having black coffee. It seems Cappuccino and Macchiato only use coffee from the grinder source on top of the device.

As for the froth, it has to be seen to be believed. Its truly amazing, feather light and fine.

Cleaning is also fully automatic. It monitors what drinks you've been having and periodically (or on shutdown) applies the corresponding self cleaning mode.

Or it can be done manually with one-click. For example, any time milk frothing is used, just replace milk source with water and press C-clean. It cleans both the sialastic hose and rinses the milk nozzle.

The only gripe I have is that the water tank is a bit small (4-6 drinks depending on your settings for each drink) and the sialastic hose is attached to a black plastic thingy that plugs into the device (which is responsible for the fine froth) and it would have been nice if a spare plug was included just in case.

Overall a great, durable all-in-one-touch machine for home-use that's well worth the price.

You can search for nTrk_7bd60s on YouTube for a demo.

Jura-Capresso 13422 Impressa C9 One Touch Automatic Coffee-and-Espresso Center, Black Review

This is my second fully automatic espresso maker. The first one was a Jura Espresso E8. They seem to have a life span of about 5 years with very frequent use -- probably 10-15 single cups a day.

The Jura-Capresso espresso maker only needs you to feed it with water and espresso beans and empty out the grounds drawer every once in a while. It does every single other thing. At the touch of a button, it grinds the beans to the perfect texture, tamps it to perfection, and brews espresso exactly. Finding espresso beans is always interesting. Right now, my favorite are from a small roaster called Ancora in Wisconsin. This espresso maker prefers beans that are not too dark and oily and never likes flavored beans. French Roasts are good, as are Columbian, for a rich flavor. Lavazza beans are good for everyday use. My only complaint? The espresso is just a little too perfect.

It is not the same as sitting in a cafe on a sidewalk in Paris sipping espresso and smoking gauloises. But very few things are.

Jura-Capresso 13423 Impressa S9 One Touch Automatic Coffee-and-Espresso Center, Platinum Review

This was originally ordered for a gift but was delivered on the second day despite my payment for one-day shipping. (To be fair to Amazon, it was ordered just minutes before "next day delivery" closed.)

Despite the fact that this gift could not be given because of its late arrival - after the intended recipient (visiting family) had returned home - I was able to convince my wife that this would be an ideal birthday present for me. I had always wanted a machine where the touch of one button gave me an excellent latte or cappuccino, which I mostly prefer to shots of espresso.

Prior to buying this I had spent a considerable amount of time on the web researching other super-automatics from Jura-Capresso and many other manufacturers. The Jura-Capresso Z5 was my preference but the features of this model appeared to be almost as good for some $600 less. The quality of frothed milk dispensed for a cappuccino on the Z5 looked impressive on a video I checked out.

I expected this model to perform similarly, but what I got was froth of very poor quality and too cold. It had many 1/2" bubbles on the surface if I moved the froth selector closer to the "steam only" position to get warmer milk.

This model will give a 16 oz coffee at the press of one button, but what you get is very weak, bitter and undrinkable. Even a 7oz cup brewed to maximum strength was somewhat weak and bitter, since the entire 7 oz was passed through the coffee until it ran clear towards the end. I had expected 2 or 3 (possibly 4) oz of espresso topped up automatically with hot water to the selected quantity rather than over-extraction to this extent. The finest grind seemed rather coarse when I examined the dregs tray. Maybe these are set up for people who like Megabucks-type charred coffee, so the oily beans don't gum up the grinder. My preference for medium roast could certainly benefit from finer grinding.

Tea or soup made with hot water from the dispenser would be a similar disappointment since the temperature of 8 oz of water hovered little more than 150 degrees (after pre-heating the cup).

On the positive side, espressos of 1 or 2 oz were acceptable, though definitely not the quality of a semi-automatic machine.

After some 24 hours during which I tried maybe 30 brews, changing many of the variables, I finally decided that this machine does not cut it. My inexpensive Capresso Ultima regularly produces better cappuccinos and I prefer the "espressos" produced by my stove-top Mokka pots.

Thankfully Amazon has a good return policy. I have previously returned only one item (which had a flaw and was replaced to my complete satisfaction). This item is currently on its way back to Amazon. I shall treat myself to a vacuum brewer and keep looking for the perfect super automatic.
