Jura A1 Super Automatic Coffee Machine, 1, Piano Black

Product Information

Tchibo is a German brand with a solid reputation, and this machine, like the A1, only brews espresso and coffee. You might have a problem fitting larger coffee mugs under the spout, but this really isn’t the machine for brewing a big 16oz brew to take on your commute. The consistency and efficiency of each model was assessed as they made specific beverages, allowing us to ensure they are capable of creating the desired flavour profile time and time again.

That’s why this machine is perfect for coffee purists as well as those who enjoy the occasional cappuccino but already own a milk frother. To maintain a milk system, it’s important to routinely remove the frothing spout and rinse away residue. Environmentally friendly: Due to the Jura A1 having a small carbon footprint and Zero Switch Off Technology, the energy consumption is significantly lower than other machines. The finer the grind the slower the extraction and the stronger the coffee, and the coarser the grounds the weaker the coffee. Meanwhile, it takes just four seconds to grind the beans, which it does quietly enough to leave others undisturbed early in the morning.Perhaps you left the machine in an unheated home while you were on vacation or in the trunk of a car during a winter storm. The Jura A1 features also features a thermoblock boiler, which can rapidly heat water, and provide the 15bar brewing pressure in next to no time.

We also compare our own experience to community reviews to see if there is anything we may have overlooked. So, as the name suggests, they are able to extract coffee from beans in mere minutes, leading to unrivalled freshness. We're not just some faceless corporation; we're a tight-knit crew of coffee junkies, who live and breathe the art of coffee brewing on a daily basis.

In our Jura A1 review we unpack everything you need to know about this little gem and how it stacks up vs its competitors. Its small and compact machine allows for the Jura A1 to be eco-friendly by having an incredibly low carbon footprint.

Jura machines come with a display system that notifies users of problems such as “missing tray” or “bean cover is not fitted. Another problem that could interfere with milk flow and even the taste of some coffee drinks, is build up in the machine.The Jura A1 comes with a symbol text display which only allows you to see symbols of functionality and also displays any maintenance alerts. This requires examining multiple parts involved in the process before determining the exact cause for the malfunction. While the J6 has the classic Jura format we've come to expect, it's only available in "Piano White" or "Brilliant Silver.

Considering theseJura coffee makersare nearly the same size and weight, the Jura D6 has a far larger water tank and bean hopper.She loves trail running, rock climbing, coffee, food, and her tiny dog — and writing about all of them. Being a small machine, you will need to refill the bean hopper and water tank more frequently than on larger ones. The minimalism doesn’t just stop there though as the buttons on the top and grinder dial are also understated and nice to use. This can legitimately be described as a compact coffee machine and will slide nicely onto most countertops.
