So you’re looking to get a new coffee machine for home? Brilliant. It’s never been a better time to invest in a machine, as more people are working from home than ever before, and families are finding themselves spending a lot more time together in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Jura has always been a reputable coffee machine brand for families looking to dial up their coffee game, and if you’re keen on having a bit more variety to choose from in the new year, this price guide should be able to help you on your way.
What To Budget For a Coffee Machine in 2021
A good place to start your search is the budget. Being clear about how much you’re looking to spend for the machine can help to whittle the search down quite a bit, and will mean you avoid getting a glint in your eye about a machine that (as the price tag suggests) is actually manufactured for commercial use. If you’re on the lookout for a Jura machine, you’re well off starting with a basic price range of R12 000 to R25 000. This will allow you to consider some of their entry level, as well as mid-range options, which offers you a high quality product without breaking the bank.
Popular Jura Coffee Machines To Consider
Three of Jura’s automatic coffee machines have proved their merit in homes and offices around the country, and luckily for you they fall right within the price range we specified earlier. The F8 coffee machine can make almost two handfuls of hot drinks, and comes in at the lower end of the price scale. The F9/E8 is a little more pricey, but based on how it performs, it can be considered an upgraded version of the F8. It retails for closer to R20 000 excl. VAT. If you’re keen on giving yourself as many options as possible, with a machine that will stand the test of time and deliver a great cuppa each time, the XS9 is a winner. Expect to land closer to the high end of our price scale, but here you’re paying for immaculate design, and will be unlikely to have to replace this machine for many years to come.
Tapping Into Seasonal Deals
While you might have an idea about what you should expect to pay for a Jura machine in 2021, that doesn’t mean that you can’t start your search by tapping into seasonal deals and seeing where you can find the best price. Keep an eye out for special related to special occasions (Black Friday, Christmas etc.) and remember to sign up for price alerts on some of your favourite e-retailers to ensure you never miss a good deal. The more research you do upfront, and the clearer you get about the model you after, the greater the likelihood that you’ll get your hands on what you’re looking for.
The Big Question: Rent or Buy?
Last but not least, ask yourself whether it will make life easier for you to buy a new machine outright, or if renting could be a better solution. Aquaspresso offers both for all the Jura models discussed here today, catering to homes and businesses alike. With flexible rental terms and installation and training thrown in, you could even give all three of the models a try, before deciding on which one you’d like to buy. Who says it can’t be easy to get your hands on a great machine? With expert help, the process becomes all the more simple. You’ll be sipping a cappuccino at home before you know it.
