It's a semiautomatic machine, with a built in grinder. It gets heavy, daily use and it's held up well over the years. It typically sells for around $600.
We've had it for about six years, and it's a workhorse. It's never been serviced. And it's significantly cheaper. It is classified as a super automatic, essentially one touch brewing.
Back when I was picking a machine, the Juras had problems and needed frequent repairs, although they are a very nice looking espresso maker.
love it
Great reviews and helpful content and reviews.
I bought a reconditioned Gaggia Titanium from them 4 years ago for our office. It has been through over 6,500 cycles since then and no problems whatsoever. It is a great machine that makes a very nice cup of coffee. I think I paid $500 for it at that time.
