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 Saeco or Jura out of the repair shop, stick to these non-oily selections.

Lavazza Dek (Decaf)
Finally, a decaf that produces actual crema. I serve this to guests and they never know it's decaf. Safe for your grinder too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Xelsis Suprema better than the ENA 8? ▼
It depends on your priorities. The Saeco Xelsis Suprema excels for users who want the massive 7.8" touchscreen and BeanMaestro tech, while the Jura ENA 8 is the better choice if you prioritize stunning 360-degree design for small spaces.
How do the grinders compare? ▼
The Xelsis Suprema uses a Ceramic Flat, whereas the ENA 8 features a Steel Conical. 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? ▼
The Xelsis Suprema uses a Removable brew group, while the ENA 8 uses a Fixed system. Generally, removable groups (like DeLonghi) allow for manual rinsing under a tap, while fixed groups (like Jura) rely on automated tablet cleaning cycles.
