Thrilled with the Jura E6
26 August 2017
We bought this Jura E6 as a replacement for an ancient Gaggia that we've had for at least 13 years and was on its last legs.
I would have bought another Gaggia but the write up weren't good in terms of operating or reliability, so we went for this machine as the price was in the right area and we hope it will last for a good number of years.
Unpacking and set up were fairly straight forward, a quick skim through the instruction book and first coffee made.
The program menu is easy to work through and gives you permanent setting, so once set up you get the coffee you want every time.
I don't understand the review that said it didn't make strong enough coffee, ours is set on 4 with a medium grind and fairly low strength beans, and we don't see the issue at all. I can only think that it was a defective machine.
We have a water softener on the mains supply as we live in a very hard water area; so after using the supplied test strip we didn't need to use the Claris water filter, however I decided to fit it in case we accidentally filled the machine with hard water from the kitchen tap, I have to say the coffee tastes better with the filter installed.
The only downside, that's mentioned by just about everyone, is that if you make cappuccino the milk isn't overly hot. Again it's a matter of personal taste and isn't an issue for me.
So after two days I'm thrilled with the Jura E6, if that changes I'll edit my review.

Avoid.
6 July 2018
I was so excited about getting this machine but it didn't deliver. The espresso shots are fine and its easy to use. The milk is a different story. I bought the small milk container. The milk comes out tepid and isn't hot enough at all and it produces excessive amounts of foam so you can't make a latte. You have to microwave your coffee to get it hotter which makes the foam expand and go everywhere. I called Jura and they basically said it is what it is. So I would avoid. A cheaper brand would do the job just as well.

This is a great machine, and so very competitively priced. I used to own a Impressa J5 (RRP £1295) and this machine is almost identical. The only main differences being no bypass for pre-ground coffee (which I never used) and the need to turn a switch manually to process the milk (but for the sake of saving so much money I have no problem with this)
The machine does not do all the different variants of coffee listed in the description, so if there is a particular mix you want then it is best to check on the jura site for the exact list of what this does. Having said that since it is all programmable it would be possible to amend one program to do what you may need. For me the main uses are long black, espresso, long black with a bit of milk and an occasional cappuccino. This does all magnificently.
It is possible to pre-set the coffee strength and my partner likes it strong. on the J5 I had to set the grind to the finest and the strength to xtra strong. Even then it was barely strong enough. This machine, with the grind mid way, the full strength was too strong and I had to wind it back! A great result.
This machine produces better coffee than the J5. I am very pleased with my purchase and I hope it lasts as long as the old one (over 10 years)

Had it a week now and very pleased. Used to have nespresso machine but this makes far nicer coffee, suppose because using coffee beans and also more environmentally friendly as the coffee grounds go on the compost heap instead of loads of little "pods" going in the bin. Though I tried the capuccino method once, it's a bit of a faff as you have to have separate milk container and attach it with the supplied little plastic tube. Then it has to be dismantled, rinsed out and carefully washed. I'm always a bit wary of automatic milk frothers being difficult to clean. I prefer to use a microwave and hand frother myself which all goes in the dishwasher. It's much quicker than nespresso and makes larger coffees, either espresso - nice and strong - or regular "coffee" which I suppose is Americano. It looks nice and smart on kitchen top and cleans itself every now and then. Drip tray and grounds box very easy to empty. Just one thing to note - it does not come with any beans! Though if you send in the warranty form they send you a complimentary pack in the post.

This machine replaced a Miele Bean to Cup machine I'd had for about 7 years before the computer bit expired. I bought it because of the great reviews and the fact it was a Swiss company that concentrated on coffee machines. I'm delighted because it is a big improvement which I'd hoped for but couldn't be sure of. It makes espresso which an impressive cirema and is not so bossy as the Miele which when it told you to clean/descale wouldn't even finish the cup you half way through making. It is demanding on cleaning the milk frother but that's a good thing and it doesn't take a quarter of the time the Miele did. I'm absolutely delighted with it and although it's expensive I consider it to be worth the money.

My beloved Jura ENA 9 gave up the ghost after nearly 9 years constant use which was replaced by the E6 after trawling through different reviews over a large spectrum of machines.
The clincher for me was two fold, firstly the pulse extraction system, reviews were complimentary regarding the extra flavour this added to the coffee and secondly I needed quality coffees produced every time.
Set up was easy and straightforward. Whilst some of the plastics, drip tray, used coffee tray etc aren't as substantial as the ENA9 it's half the price I paid 9 years ago. That said the parts are still well made whilst there are some nice design touches such as the side access for refilling the water container, the sealed bean holder which takes 250grams of fresh beans.
So how did the marketing hype of the pulse extraction system work in the real world? All I can is "WOWZA". My all time favourite coffee shop which consistently and expertly produces the finest espressos I've tasted has serious competition. I'm sitting here typing this and sipping my espresso grinning like a idiot as I'm gobsmacked by the depth and balance of flavour that is coming out of the E6.
Whilst the range of coffees the E6 can produce isn't that broad if your looking for a baseline of quality beverages I doubt you could find fault with this machine.

We have the E6’s big brother the E8 already and decided to buy the E6 for our holiday home as we didn’t need all the bells and whistles of it’s big brother. This machine, like it’s big brother is the easiest, most straightforward machine I have ever bought. It’s so simple to use even my husband was able to figure it out from the start. I would recommend this to anyone thinking of buying it, you won’t be disappointed.

This I really can give 5 stars to! Its my second Jura bean to cup coffee maker and this is even better than the first (a Jura C5)

If you truly are a coffee lover, this is quite simply the best coffee machine that money can buy. I have just upgraded from my Nespresso machine to this and will never look back!
