Just thought I would check with the PH collective before jumping into this...

We need a coffee machine that makes up for 30-40 coffees a day (max - often 10-15). We've got a much bigger office now and the existing Delonghi machine just isn't up to it. Also, machines like this only have a domestic warranty

Looking at the Jura JX8

https://www.logicvending.co.uk/new-jura-jx8-platin...

This is the deal I was looking at. It basically works out at £110+VAT per month for 3 years and includes a 3-year warranty (this is quite important as I don't want to be messing around trying to get it fixed). Also come with quite a good starter package - coffee for 2000 drinks, 1000 takeaway cups, various mugs and glasses, consumables etc.

Any thoughts? Is this a good deal? Is there a better machine for our needs that would cost less. Would love to pay less smile

Thanks in advance

Have you considered a serviced contract from the like of Eden Springs? It may work out cheaper, it may not, but it will certainly be easier.

I see they have an offer advertised where there is no capital outlay and you only pay for drinks actually consumed:

No harm in getting a quote.

Why not just get a second DeLonghi to use alongside your existing one?

I have one at home, makes between 6 and 10 cups a day. I've just checked the statistics, and it's made 8555 cups in just over 3 years. Never missed a beat.

I wouldn't trust it on the busy days unfortunately. If it breaks it a pain with the warranty. Also, it doesn't really do milk drinks very well - really looking for one that does at the touch of a button. Makes great coffee though.

MIght get a quote from them - see they do the Jura stuff as well. Like the idea of the pay for drinks, but the machines don't look great. Don't really want capsule/packet type systems. Appreciate the link though.

I realise you don't want a capsule type system, (presumably for cost reasons?) but fyi we use a Nespresso Gemini 220 for a similar volume of coffee. Super consistent coffee, good milk option, and good support.

We have a Jura Giga series machine in our office - about 50 people. It does very well, but we do keep a smaller Jura machine upstairs for visitors and for when the big one has to go for it's annual service!

Sorry for bumping. I'm curious about your recommendations nowadays. What would you go for these days?

The Jura machines held up well at my previous job, current employer isn't so kind!

At home I have a Delonghi ECAM bean to cup and the missus loves it. Doesn't do very much work but aside from a silicon pipe it's been brilliant for the last oooh (checks folder with receipts) 8 years or so. It was a £300 purchase, so not cheap cheap but decent tier.

The only thing to avoid (IMHO) are the ones that hold milk, unless you do a lot of posh coffee it's not worth the hassle and a fiddle to clean.

We have a Vitro X1. It’s brilliant, especially the hot chocolate and chocolattes.

Our current machine works, but it’s ridiculously loud in the mornings, which is rough when everyone’s still half-asleep 😅 So we’re thinking about getting a more sensible coffee maker for work. Preferably something quieter and a bit more dependable.
