“I've had mine for over eight years. If you are any...”

★★★★☆

written by csearle on 29/01/2010

I've had mine for over eight years. If you are any good at DIY then the Pros outweigh the Cons (see below).

Pros
I like the style.
It is compact and very easy to use.
The coffee always tastes good. It has lasted well (although this has come with some effort - see Cons below).
It usually impresses guests as its name suggests it might!
The whole thing can be carefully dismantled, fixed, and rebuilt with a little dexterity and a little tool to get the rear screws out. If you need help just ask me ([email protected]).

Cons
The seals in the brewing unit have broken on average once every two years. Spare parts have been difficult to obtain (could order them via a German firm but they will no longer deliver to the UK).
The sieve of the brewing unit clogs up with coffee grounds every few days causing hardly any coffee to come out. This can be cleaned with a damp cloth providing an instant improvement by inserting your hand up the thing when the tray is out and wiping the 3.5cm diameter circular thing that you can feel at the back behind a flap and up a bit. The period between cleans depends upon the coffee beans in use.
The hinges on the water lid are weak and one of mine has broken.
Mine started leaking water from the non-water tank side. Turned out to be a small special part in the water supply tube that need replacing.

Hope that helps,
Chris

“I am very happy with the Jura F90. It cost £900 so I...”

★★★★☆

written by tcsr205 on 12/02/2007

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.

“I would not buy this Jura F90 machine or even suggest...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by redpath on 01/06/2006

I would not buy this Jura F90 machine or even suggest to friends as I was put off from the boxie look which was an uphill climb to buying it. I am looking for an all steel machine with the concepts that Jura is trying to sell but are poorly executed.The thing is made of plastic all the way baby. It is a waste of money and the coffee was burned in cases. Also no easy way to know what errors reported in the nice digital display to fix them other than turning it off and back on.

Why do you write a review if you did not buy one? It makes excellent coffee and is an excellent machine. In fact the best coffee machine on the market. You will not find a better one. I have always had a Jura, I switched to the Nespresso and decided that the Jura still makes better coffee and the aluminium capsules are supposedly very bad for you.

“The Swiss made Jura F90 coffee & espresso machine is...”

★★★★★

written by lizelliot on 17/12/2005

The Swiss made Jura F90 coffee & espresso machine is that rarity, a complex piece of kit that is beautifully simple to use. Its sleek silver and black lines look stylish without being obtrusive, and would fit in with most designs of kitchen. On one side is a reservoir, into which you put tap water. On the other side, a hopper for coffee beans. On top, a hatch for ground coffee, if you want to alternate between caffeinated and decaff. Press a button, out comes perfect coffee, with excellent cream. One can adjust the grind of the coffee, the strength of the brew, the temperature of the water, and the cup size dispensed, and the machine then treats this as the default until adjusted again. The reservoir, which is large and easy to refill, has a place for a filter cartridge, which stops the machine scaling up and improves the taste of the coffee. Filters cost around £10 and last a couple of months. The F90 has a nozzle which dispenses steam or hot water for instant drinks, and to froth milk for cappuccino. The clean lines of the machine illustrate its excellent design - it's easy to empty and wash - a pull-out drip tray houses a dish for used grounds, which just lifts out and can be tipped into the bin.

The foolproof aspect of it is that the machine display tells you when you need to change the filter, empty the drip tray or grounds, and even when you need to clean or descale it. Cleaning is just a matter of dropping a special tablet in and following on-screen prompts. If you use the filter cartridges it doesn't even need descaling. The machine even has an internet port (I am not kidding) for extra fancy personalisation.

The only downsides of this machine are that if you are making coffee for a large number of people one has to make it a cup at a time, that the default coffee temperature is optimal for black coffee drinkers - otherwise it's best to heat the milk - and that the F90 costs around £950. (it was £800 when we got ours 3 years ago). On the other hand, this machine is like a genie which quickly hands you perfect coffee, no mess, no fuss, whenever you want it.
