Don't Ruin Your New Investment

Regardless of which machine you choose, both rely on internal grinders that are sensitive to oily beans. To keep your Jura or Saeco out of the repair shop, stick to these non-oily selections.

Kicking Horse Cliff Hanger
A Canadian legend. Since it is a Medium roast, it is much safer for your machine than their other dark roasts (which are too oily).

Kicking Horse Cliff Hanger

Silky, complex, and wild. Fairtrade and Organic.

Lavazza Gran Crema
This is my #1 recommendation if you make milk drinks. The slightly darker roast punches through the milk better than the Super Crema.

Lavazza Gran Crema

South American Arabicas blended with South East Asian Robustas. Rich and intense with notes of dark chocolate and spices.

Lavazza Qualita Oro
The sweetest of the bunch. If you find espresso too bitter, switch to this. It has a very smooth, non-aggressive finish.

Lavazza Qualita Oro

Sweet and aromatic with floral notes. 100% Arabica.

How do the grinders compare? ▼
The ENA 8 uses a Steel Conical, whereas the Xelsis Suprema features a Ceramic Flat. While both are high-quality internal systems, they are sealed components. To prevent clogging and avoid expensive repairs, we strongly recommend using non-oily, medium-roast beans in both machines.
Which machine is easier to clean? ▼
