The E6 is the best superauto I’ve had yet, for the record. The grinders on even a Jura pale in comparison to a standalone decent grinder, etc. No superauto can dose like a semi so they will always taste weaker. I like my E6 but superautos have mediocre thermal stability and consistency. I would say go E8 or Oracle if you can, but E6 otherwise. Someone here mentioned to Breville Oracle - this is a good recommendation too. I think the E6 is probably your best bet, but I would wait for a sale or a refurb and try to get am E8 if you can swing it - plus you can get one with the metal finish. Saeco and Jura’s have held up 5-6 years for me consistently. If you’re looking to get 5 years out of the machine, I would not consider the Miele or Gaggia - look online, reviews for their superautos seem to suggest half of them die spectacularly after 1-3 years tops. If you want metal exterior on a good superauto, you’re going to have to pay through the nose. The E6 is much better, newer grinder, etc. I would swap the D6 for the E6 given your budget. I would eliminate the Gaggia since I’m not convinced any of their superautos are good or durable. Are there any other machines I should consider or any problems I should be aware of before dropping this amount of money on a coffee machine? Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts! Most espresso machine repair shops local to me say they repair all three of these brands so hopefully that won't be a problem. We hope to get at least 5 years out of anything we get and hope that the unit can be serviced if we have problems so repeatability is key to a point. Any thoughts on a good superautos that can make decent lungos / pressure brewed coffee under $1500 US? A few I am are considering are the Gaggia Velasca Prestige, Miele CM5500, and the Jura D6. my wife did K-cups and loves the convenience of a consistent cup of coffee delivered quickly with minimal fuss. I personally am into coffee and used to make myself aeropress, pour-overs, and french press coffee daily before we lived together so I definitely wouldn't mind a more complex system but. We started to take a hard look at the fact that we're spending well over $1000 each year on these pods and want to make a switch. Since then, our Delonghi Pixie has been faithfully pushing out 6-8 quite decent espressos and lungos daily. My wife and I have been a Nespresso convert since our trip to France about 3 years ago (an air BnB had one and we got hooked). Considering (but please suggest others):.Favorite drink: lungo / pressure brewed coffee (milky drinks nice-to-have, but probably only for the weekends).Desired features: stainless / metallic finish to match appliances, adjustable brew temps, one-touch lungo.Wife favors convenience of push button use, so semi-autos are out.Any model recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Want to hear thoughts on brew quality, longevity, things to avoid. Tl dr: Looking to switch from nespresso to superauto.
