Jura-Capresso 13548 Impressa J6 Automatic Coffee and Espresso Center

Extensive research and $600 off the sticker price led me to the Jura-Capresso 13548 Impressa J6. I've now had the machine for two years and it is still going strong, and bought it at my local Sur le Table store. This was my first automatic machine and I am still totally freaked out at how expensive they are. That being said, the machine makes amazing coffee.

It's also really cool to make tea and hot soup with the hot water feature. The Jura-Capresso Impressa J6 refurbished machine is about $1,000, a significant savings. The only difference is that you get a 1-year guarantee from Jura. I recommend this option. The machine works well overall (knock on wood) and I expect to keep getting amazing coffee for years to come.
