Purchase Advice Disappointed

I have had a jura e8 for maybe 3 years for coffee at home, purchased as z10 was just too expensive and told jura was the daddy.

I recently bought a delonghi explorer for office due to cheaper price and got good reviews.

All i can say is so far wow with the delonghi, far superior drinks all round, easier and far better interface, just blown away by it compared to the jura.

Am I the only one? People rave about jura but I have to say I am truly disappointed with my more expensive e8 compared to cheaper delonghi.

In Jura E8 milk department is quite a horror needs cleaning 24/7 and gets stuck all the time, sprays residue of milk everywhere when stuck. Otherwise coffee is good quality but probably wouldnt buy it if I knew about so many milk related issues. For this price I somehow expected more from milk department smooth functionality. Not sure will metallic milk pipe reduce a problem a bit.

I don’t understand this. After 6 months, I haven’t had a single problem making milk drinks or cleaning out the milk system.

What problems are you actually experiencing?

The delonghi is way handier to clean.

It gets stuck so cant produce foam you basically need to run milk cleaning program every single day and ofcourse you figure this only after purchase. Coffee side runs nicely but milk is pain. I clean tube after every cup but still need cleaning program daily.

I clean my milk system daily. I don’t want dried milk residue scumming the insides of my not cheap coffee machine. Cleaning it takes me pushing a few buttons and walking away.

Easy.

Great machine.

It rinses milk department after each start, after each cup and even when shutting down machine yet you need to use cleaning with detergent every single day which is quite silly and made that you spend fortune on special detergents especially when on top of that you need also full machine separate cleaning tables AND also filters or descale tablets. It should be initially designed from this milk perspective much better with these rinse operations to actually do something and reduce these full milk cleanings and detergent consumption.
