Jura A1 Super Automatic Coffee Machine, 1, Piano Black

Product Information

Ideal for those who love a cappuccino, the majority of machines will come with a milk frother or have the option to buy a frothing accessory separately. There are three main milk frothing methods: Automatic frothing Also, towards the front and on the right-hand side of the top is a bypass doser for adding pre-ground coffee. The capacity is limited, holding just one scoop of grounds (unlike the two scoops afforded to other Jura machines). However, it’s useful to have the option when you’re out of whole beans or just want to try other coffee.

Reliable entry-level model machine: Most entry-level espresso machines are not going to be robust and last you for a lifetime. With any Jura, you’ll be able to experience excellent and consistent brewing quality for over years. On the A1 the control panel is top mounted and is very simple and easy to use. There is no computerised touch screen display to confuse you. There is a control for the two coffee strength levels and 3 buttons to choose between cup sizes – espresso, ristretto or regular coffee.If the device is exposed to the cold for a long period of time, the heating function is disabled for safety reasons. Another way for you to influence the extraction process is to change the grind size with the adjustable grinder, choosing a finer grind if you prefer a stronger and more bitter coffee or slightly coarser for a faster extraction and a weaker shot. ( 3) The bypass doser means even more possibilities, allowing you to use decaf and pre-ground coffee.

These are similar to automatic milk frothers, but tend to be separate from the coffee machine. Another key difference is that, rather than selecting a preset programme, you’ll need to pour your coffee and froth the milk manually if you want to make a milky drink. Some frothing accessories are able to froth cold milk, too — perfect for iced coffees. Steam wand One of the bean containers is empty. You cannot prepare any speciality coffees for which coffee beans are required from this bean container. You can prepare hot water or milk. The ENA 4 ups the ante feature-wise with intelligent preheating, which compensates for heat lost between the heating element and brewing unit. This ensures the optimal temperature at the time of brewing. If you're looking to spend a bit more on a coffee machine with more functions than the A1, the Jura E6 could be an option to consider. It's an excellent coffee machine that makes fully automated espresso, has an easy-to-use TFT display, and a built-in milk frother for cappucino and other milky drinks.Everything from the water tank to the drip tray feels like it’s been well put together and your money isn’t disappearing into the profit margin of a shoddy manufacturer. All Jura machines are made in Europe. Now since some of the most advanced tech we use is made in Asia these days, like most Apple products, for example, I don’t buy into “built in Europe means better quality”. Build quality comes from the standards of the manufacturer, this is where Jura stands out as exceptional. Irrespective of where the coffee machines are made. Small Size not an Issue Release the espresso symbol, and the espresso will brew. The espresso symbol and coffee strength symbol will flash. It true minimalist style the front elevation is sleek, uncluttered and is only broken by the drip tray and height adjustable coffee spout. No buttons, lights or indicators in sight.
