Love It! I have to say, I *love* my E8! I tried one at a store and, after a lot of research, settled on Jura Capresso because of the cleaning cycle feature (most others you have to remove the “brew group” once a week or so and manually clean it – I was *so* not going to do that!). I settled on the E8 versus other JC’s because of the price and the features… the higher-end models’ extra features (none of which directly affect the quality of a single cup) were worth the additional cost, especially since…
coffee convenience I bought this machine about two years ago. At the time I thought it was pricey, but decided that in the long run, it would pay off. It has.
I love Miss Anna OK, this thing ain’t cheap. I mean, how can you ever justify spending $1000 on a coffee maker?? I named mine Miss AnniBirthenTine. She was so expensive, that she was my ‘Anni’versary, ‘Birth’day, and Val’enTine’s day gift all rolled into one item! That being said, I admit I have a bit of an unhealthy relationship with my coffee maker. I love her. Fine. I said it.
