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 E6 of the ED generation has the E8’s housing, 27 x 34.8 x 44.6 cm, with the same 1.9-litre tank, the same 280 grams of beans and the same 3.5-inch screen. It makes 17 drinks where the E8 makes 27: no Sweet Foam, no cortado and no flat white.
Mind the type number. The older E6 (EC) has a different table at Jura, with 11 drinks and a smaller screen, and is listed here as the E6 (EC). This page is about the ED.
Who for: Anyone who drinks cappuccino and latte macchiato and will not miss the rest.
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: €117.80 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
€24.95per kilo
Price verdict from 29 Oct€24.95 · 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.

Lavazza
€24.99per kilo
Price verdict from 29 Oct€24.99 · 1 kg bag
All arabica as well, like the Oro. The middle path between the soft arabica blends and the firm bar blends.

De Koffiejongens
€29.99per kilo
Price verdict from 29 Oct€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
€51.80per kilo
Price verdict from 29 Oct€12.95 · 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.
