I'm very lazy so although I've several machines (drip coffee, french/moka press, nespresso) the one I use all the time is my full auto.

Input: grains, water Output: coffee

Buy a JURA coffee machine (pricey but worth it) and call it a day.



I got an expensive JURA for a wedding gift couple of years ago and it's awesome. Can someone please tell me if there's something I'm missing by not geeking out about coffee? I mean the coffee that thing makes tastes great, but if I haven't tasted really good coffee I wouldn't know I'm missing out ;)


If it's grinding beans to order then as long as you're not buying stale beans, you should be fine as you are. As I see it, the most crucial factor is water temperature (it bugs me to see boiling water used for coffee) and the freshness of the beans is the next important factor (somewhere from 3 days after grinding to two weeks is best).


Thanks! As far as temperature goes I do recall a setting somewhere, I'll check it out. As for the beans, I buy them from a good retailer and I buy more or less 3 months supply at a time.
