I have a Miele super-automatic espresso machine and it makes me happy every day.
I purchased it in 2015, and I’ve had no issues with it. I do clean it regularly. The one I have is probably comparable to the $2,900ish one at Williams-Sonoma.
I just researched less expensive options for my DIL, and seriously considered a Gaggia, but wound up with a different one because I got a great price on it. (I can’t remember which we got - I think it was Delonghi).
I have purchased 2 Jura machines over the years, and took them both back. They didn’t get the drinks hot enough for me.
I am currently considering taking my machine to get it lubed and cleaned (whatever they do to these machines) in hopes that it will last many more years.
If I were to get a new one, I would but a Gaggia or Miele. I realize the super-automatics don’t make “great” drinks according to some people, but I’ve been very happy with mine.
