Very easy to use and clean.
Great coffee.
VERY expensive.
Grind setting control is very difficult to get at.
I am very happy with the Jura F90. It cost £900 so I wouldn't want to be disappointed though! It makes excellent coffee very very easily. The touch screen is easy to use and you can very easily select the size and strength of the coffee you want..
The automatic milk frother (optional extra but seems to be bundled with the machine everywhere) is excellent. You drop a tube into a carton of milk, press a button and it sucks milk up the tube, froths it and shoots it straight into your cup. Brilliant. It will do either froth or just hot milk.
If I had to pick a fault with it it is that it has a daft feature which I can't see the point of. When you turn the machine on it flashes a message saying 'your machine is warming up' after 30 seconds or so it flashes another message that says 'press maintenance. When you press maintenance it performs a quick self clean that takes a few seconds. So, why on earth does it make you press the button? Why doesn't it just do it? It does everything else automatically except that. What this means is that you turn on the machine and wander off. When you return a few minutes later instead of being ready to make a coffee, the machine is ready for you to 'press maintenance' so that you can watch it do a self clean for 20 seconds... than have a cup of coffee. Grrrrr! It only does this when you first turn it on. When you turn it off it does a fully automatic self clean without you having to press any buttons. So why???
The other slight niggle is that the grind setting button is tucked away right at the back inside a flap. It can only be adjusted while the grinder is actually grinding so it is very fiddly. I would have liked an electronic control on the front to do that.
Cleaning this machine is a doddle. Every couple of days it will flash a message up saying empty grinds. To do this you simply slide open a door, take out a tray, empty it in the bin and put it back. The entire water tray slides out too and needs a quick swill under the tap every few days. Its all so easy that it is no problem at all.
