Have had the machine for about 3 weeks now and so far the machine is doing great. Got it refurbished for $599 through JL Hufford (recommended company). To get a $1200 machine (brand new) for $600 (pre-brewed) is a great deal and can't even tell it is previously used.Very good machine and has several of the bells and whistles that more expensive machines have. Jura Capresso is a very reliable brand and I am very happy with the performance of the machine. Some areas for improvement, but they are very tolerable in the overall scheme of things. Sorry for the long review but wanted to make it as helpful as possible. It took me a lot of research to finally land on this machine.What I like:- Easy to use.- Makes great pressure brewed coffee and good espresso. Espresso won't be as good as a manual machine but still quite good if you use the right settings and quality beans. This is the same for all super automatics.- Has some basic programmability to remember default settings for 1 cup.- Several ways to customize drinks (water output, grinder fineness, amount of coffee for strong, normal or mild).- FrothXpress system is good if making multiple drinks and looks nicer as the default wand on the machine. Although, I prefer the Dual Frother Plus (traditional wand) for making one cup (more control over temp, froth, etc). TIP: make sure to rinse out the Dual Frother Plus and the FrothXpress after EVERY use. Otherwise, milk will cake up and can cause a steam explosion. Poor reviews based on this from others is user error, not the machine.- Auto self rinsing cycle (when turned on and off) and easy to read indicators for filling water, emptying grounds, fill beans, cleaning, etc.- Relatively quiet operation- 1 or 2 spout dispenser- Bypass doser- Tall cup height- Custom Auto off timer (1 hour, 2 hour, etc) to save energy. Zero energy pull when off.- Slim and nice design, quality construction. But still as deep as other machines.Areas for improvement (tolerable drawbacks):- The temperature of drinks is somewhat inconsistent. Second drink always seems hotter, even after doing the right warm up steps. TIP: Make sure to pre warm the cups with hot water dispenser, this helps a lot.- FrothXpress system does not heat the milk quite as good as the normal wand. TIP: If using the FrothXpress, you can do the steam only feature afterwards to heat the frothed/steamed milk a little more.- No cup warmer. Need to use hot water dispenser. Using the hot water will actually make the cups hotter than a warming tray anyway, but it's just an extra step.- Need to adjust cup size during processing and can't before brewing (if different than the programmed amount).- Small water tank (37 oz). Even for a 2 person home and a few shots per day, you will refill often. Not a big deal really. But heavy users may want to take note.- No Auto On feature for the mornings, no clock and no usage stats. Auto on would be great, but only takes a minute to warm up.- Water filters are expensive ($20, recommended every 2 months). I'd only use if you have hard water or you absolutely feel the need to have filtered water or you don't ever want to descale. Cheaper to descale every few months. Although, with the filter you never have to descale (supposedly).- I wish the steam wand had more range of motion.

Pros: Very easy to customize your cup of coffee - controls are intuitive and user friendly; FrothExpress is an awesome feature for steamed or frothed milk; self-cleaning process is very nice, and the machine overall is very low maintenance; makes a consistent, tasty cup of your favorite coffee beverage with excellent crema each and every time!; small footprint takes up less space than just about any coffee maker out there; less than 2 minutes from the time you press the "on" button until you have a fresh brewed, custom coffee drink; the water tank, bean hopper, and dregs box are easily accessed.Cons: When you set the "auto off" feature, be sure to keep a cup under the coffee nozzle - when the machine turns off, it rinses the nozzles, and will splash the machine and counter otherwise (this is a minor annoyance); the water tank and bean hopper will need to be refilled often, because you WILL hit this machine a lot (since this is a function of the small machine footprint, I don't really mark it down on this basis, but wanted readers to be aware); the FrothExpress spews a little water before the steamed/frothed milk flows; That's it!My wife and I bought this for ourselves for Christmas, and we have absolutely no regrets. The only question remaining for me is the longevity of the machine. We'll have to see on that one.Dealing with Amazon was awesome, as usual, and we had our machine in a matter of a few days. Set up was very easy, and the included CD made it fun to set up and use. I know this machine is a major investment, but in my opinion all coffee lovers will get much use and enjoyment out of this machine.

*See added notes below review for comments after 2 months of use, and a tip for the steam wand problem*I wavered between 3 and 4 stars for quite a while trying to decide whether this machine rates as JUST OK or I LIKE IT. The truth is it's right in the middle for me personally.PROS:- Svelte looks, design is beautiful- I had none of the temperature issues I read so much about with most if not all super autos. All my milk and espresso shots consistently come out HOT HOT HOT.- Adjustable height of the nozzle is brilliant...I move the thing up and down constantly (hint: the closer you put the nozzle to the cup, the more crema you get - according to the instructions at least)- Once you get your settings dialed in, it's so easy to make coffee drinks- Small, relative to other superautos (but this is still a monster of a machine)CONS:- Cost - good lord this thing is expensive, and way overpriced in the US. Costs for superautos in Europe are much MUCH cheaper. No idea why so expensive here, maybe tariffs or something. This is the biggest strike against the unit really...cost does not justify what you get in return.- This particular model does not justify the $400 increased cost over the ENA 4 IMO, ESPECIALLY since the main difference is the froth express (which can be added to the ENA 4!)- Froth Express is almost a gimmick IMO and too slow to be of real world use on a regular basis. The company seems to agree with that the way they write about it in the instruction booklet. Even when I am doing two lattes at a time, I find it MUCH faster to just wand-steam enough milk for two in a container, then pour half into one of the cups. The "express" frother is MUCH slower, and you will sit there forever while it spits and foams all over the place. Not to mention the fact that you need to do a lot more cleanup after using it (cleaning out the tube)- Water reservoir is way too small. Note that they market this particular model as smaller intentionally, so I am not really knocking off points for this, but just know that if more than one person will be using this, you will be refilling constantly. Big pain, IMO, and I probably would have chosen a different brand/model for this alone had I known it would be such a constant deal.- If you are not waiting AT the machine when the STEAM function is ready, be prepared to put water into your milk, because it reverts back VERY quickly. Oversight in the design, IMO, but just know that if you aren't there waiting the 30 seconds or so, that you should double check that the STEAM function is still in play, otherwise...water.- Not a huge fan of the design overall. I think the DeLonghi 5500 has it right for those that do milk based drinks a lot, or even the Lattissima. A superauto, IMO, should really be automatic. For instance, with the 5500, you truly just press a button if you want a latte, and you get a latte (because a removable milk container is built into the unit) With the Ena's, you have to separately prepare the milk, then do your shot (or vice versa). Feels more like an automatic than a super automatic in that regard.- the steam wand missle launch is not a myth unfortunately (and will likely scare the bejeesus out of you the first time it happens - I liken it to realizing that a bottle rocket or big nasty firework is heading RIGHT TOWARDS YOU :)). This is just piss poor design really, and I can certainly understand others wanting to return the machine over this issue. It's happened to me a couple of times RIGHT AFTER I cleaned the wand thoroughly, so I will chalk this up to design error. My previous espresso maker with wand attachment NEVER did this once in the 8 years I had it (and I rarely cleaned it).Overall, it would be hard for me to recommend this unit to someone unless the price REALLY came down, BUT I DO like it a lot. Main gripes are that it is not truly automatic for milk based drinks, and that it requires CONSTANT water filling. Between these two issues, I have no doubt that I could knock out coffee drinks with my old espresso maker with frothing wand, just as quickly. Still, it is nice to just have ONE coffee machine on the counter (instead of a grinder, an espresso maker, and a beans container). If DeLonghi machines had better reviews and track records in terms of reliability, I definitely would have gone that route for their cool built in milk container deal alone.ADDENDUM: After a couple of months of use, I stand by the rating, and will reiterate some points: I partially solved the tiny water tank issue by NOT replacing the filter after it asked me to, and running sans filter (but using filtered water from fridge). This has helped quite a bit as the filter does displace quite a bit of water. The more I have used the unit, the better I have gotten at dialing it in to be able to knock out exactly what I want in terms of strength, volume, etc. There is a learning curve here, maybe a few weeks. Finally, I noticed that many of my shots pulled were very weak, and the unfortunate work around is to take the lid of the bean hopper and kind of stir the beans before and as the machine starts to grind. What was happening was the oilier beans were not sliding into the chamber, and so less beans = weaker pull of course. So my super auto is definitely NOT a "push a button and you're done" type deal like some others I have seen. It takes a LOT of constant maintenance (clean machine, replace filter, empty grounds, fill with water, stir beans, clean frother, etc. For all the work I do behind and along with the machine, as well as having to wait for the steam, I don't think it's a great solution if you are looking for ultimate convenience. One thing it does beat my previous manual morning coffee dance at is cleanliness: using a separate grinder, grinding beans, pouring grounds, tamping, etc with separates always caused a huge mess. The Ena is self contained, so there is virtually no mess (maybe some dripping off the steam wand).Edited (again): For the unfortunate souls who bought this Ena that regularly want to make steamed milk and coffee drinks, I found a great solution: It's an additional expense ($45-$50, but then again, you probably paid at least $1000 for the Ena, so I think you can afford it!), and another unit on the counter, but so, so worth it. And no danger of being impaled by a steam-powered, scalding hot metal missle! It's the Capresso FrothPro (link below)(note it's not a Jura-Capresso product like this Ena), and there are a couple of advantages beyond not scaring the bejeebus out of you in the morning before you're properly awake:1. Makes 10x better hot, frothy foam than the attachments on the Ena.2. No waiting for the single boiler on the Ena to heat up to the temp to make steam...so you can be foaming/frothing/heating your milk WHILE you are making your espresso on the Ena. This to me is the best advantage, which I didn't even think about before buying it.3. It's COMPLETELY automatic. You literally push a button and wait for it to do it's thing. My wife would NEVER use the steam wand on our Ena for her lattes, (not even because of the inherent danger), just because she didn't want to sit there holding the cup under the steam wand forever. This solves that problem, and she is now completely self-sufficient in making her lattes! (we live in a hard world, I know).4. This thing screams quality. So well made, it's one of those things that you realize you paid a premium for, but the quality and functionality is so good, that you don't mind. I actually smile every time this thing has finished doing its deed. Don't usually smile at products!http://www.amazon.com/Capresso-202-04-frothPRO/dp/B003LXY2HA/ref=sr_du_1_map?ie=UTF8&qid=1327850981&sr=8-1My steam wand (even after trying several fixes, including the one suggested using the braces rubberbands) finally would just constantly shoot off every time I would use it, so I got fed up and took matters into my own hands. Didn't want to go through the hassle of sending the big monster back to the mfr for repair (which since I think it's an inherent design flaw, there probably is nothing TO repair).
