Limescale is what most machines die of, and vinegar attacks the seals. A liquid descaler declared suitable for espresso machines does the same job as the maker’s own branded fluid, usually for less.

Price alert
Espresso machines drop hardest around Black Friday and in the weeks before Christmas. Leave your email address and pick below what you want to hear about.
The E4 is Jura's entry model: the same burrs and the same brew group as the dearer machines, but no milk system. Espresso, lungo and hot water, and that is all.
That is exactly what makes it interesting. With Jura you are paying mainly for the grinding, and here not for a milk system you have to keep clean. If you drink your coffee black, this is the logical way into Jura.
Who for: Anyone who drinks black coffee and is buying on grind quality.
Against 45 other bean-to-cups between €474.95 and €999.99, on the specifications the maker publishes.
This is what we know for certain. Dimensions and capacities the manufacturer or the shop does not state are left out rather than estimated. A measurement or a tank volume that is not there is one we do not have.
A worked example, not a specification: 2 cups a day (730 a year), the intervals from the maker's manual, with the water filter the maker recommends, and the lowest price in our catalog today.
We cannot price anything for this machine: what the maker requires is not in our catalog, or the maker gives no interval.
How often you descale depends on your water hardness. Where the maker gives no interval for it, we leave it out rather than estimate it.
6.57 kilos a year at 9 grams a cup: €108.34 with the cheapest kilo in our catalog, €445.45 with the dearest.

RecommendedJura builds the filter into its maintenance schedule; with one fitted the machine no longer needs descaling at all. That saves work and costs a subscription in filters.

Go to bolEvery bean fits every machine. What differs is the order: on a bean-to-cup the 100% arabica beans come first, because dark-roasted blends carrying robusta give off more oil and that clogs a built-in grinder sooner.

Lavazza
€23.99per kilo
Keenly priced€23.99 · 1 kg bag
All arabica as well, like the Oro. The middle path between the soft arabica blends and the firm bar blends.

Lavazza
€24.26per kilo
Keenly priced€24.26 · 1 kg bag
All arabica, and so softer and more acidic than the blends carrying robusta. Anyone who finds espresso too harsh often starts here.

De Koffiejongens
€29.99per kilo
Ordinary price€29.99 · 1 kg bag
Certified organic and medium roasted. Compare the price per kilo with the branded blends: organic need not cost more.

illy
€46.00per kilo
Lowest price we have seen€11.50 · 250 g tin
A blend of nine arabicas, and per kilo a bean from the top end. The 250 g tin looks cheap and per kilo is nothing of the sort.
