We’ve had a Jura Capresso machine and a De’longhi Rivelia in our vacation home. Both work well, but take up a fair amount of counter space. Also, I had difficulty getting the Jura machine repaired. I’ve switched to the Nespresso (Creatista Pro) in both places. I think it’s easy to use and quick and the coffee is good. I buy the pods online and if I run out, my local grocery store sells pods (Peets) that work with my Nespresso.
My son-in-law is a coffee purist and argues that pour over coffee makers (e.g., Chemex) with a filter are the best way to make coffee. He also uses a special grinder (Encore?). That seems like overkill to me and my palate isn’t sophisticated enough to taste the difference. Plus, I want coffee right away and don’t want to wait. SIL used to work for a coffee company and only buys the coffee this company sells. I keep his coffee making supplies (except for the beans) in my pantry and pull them out when the kids visit.
