    I have a good quality manual Breville. Makes a great shot.

        Jura are "Bean To Cup, Automatic Coffee Machines"

        While they are probably the best in the "Bean to Cup Full-Auto" camp, they are not a traditional E61 group-head (or even different sized group head) semi-auto or full manual espresso machine.

        Full auto machines do not have the fine level of control of the traditional machines.

        This belongs in the ‘Great Move’ thread with the heading ‘Mate in one’.

        I guess if you had a compulsion to see everything as a competition, and hadn't noticed I'd said in my first post that this machine does not produce espresso at the level of a manual machine, you could consider Mark's post a checkmate of sorts. But most people who buy one of these things understands that they are buying the convenience, and trading some espresso quality.

        I guess if you had a compulsion to see everything as a challenge to yourself personally, you might come to that conclusion. But most people on TNCR would see my comment as a joke playing off the well-known fact that Mark had many hobbies over time and dives into them completely and achieves deep knowledge of the subject.

        Sure jon. Your checkmate didn't relate to some game where someone wins. And you definitely don't have a compulsion to treat everything as a competition. You're like the opposite of that guy. Consider me gaslit.

          Incidentally, I simply cannot believe that people spend three FUCKING grand on a coffee machine in order to drink a rather unsophisticated alternative to tea.

              I'm afraid that money was allocated fairly rapidly to a different kind of beverage, possibly helping the French and Scottish economies.

                We got it through a friend who has a big discount on retail.
