I have an Areopress that I use mostly for travelling which I have also enjoyed at home.
Eta: I use a Moka pot everyday the Aeropress time to time when pressed for time.
As for the grinder and coffee getting stuck try running some rice through the grinder that should solve the problem for you.
Tried that and doesnāt help. Itās usually broken bean pieces that get stuck, and perhaps that slot to the side is a tad too big too. Grinds well, so canāt complain otherwise. Just easier not to deal with that every morning, or even every week.
I begin by unplugging the grinder, tapping it gently over the compost bin to loosen anything that might have been caught in the grinder.
Plug in again add rice and grind.
I do this after each use it helps to keep the coffee oils from clogging up the machine.
Also helps prevent the rancid flavour from the oils to develop and that may spoil my brew.
I am with you on the brown water quality of keurig machines. Also got a nespresso machine. One of the big honkinā ones that you can also use to froth milk. After going through hundreds and hundreds of pods at a $1 or so a shot, I bought a deLonghi super automatic. A step down from the Jura in price, but still cracks into 4 figures. I believe I have at this point made my money back on the purchase as bags of whole beans are a lot cheaper than those nespresso pods. Quality of the coffee is great. Just turn the knob for strength, push a button for a single or double espresso. 10 seconds later its ready. 10 more seconds to make it an Americano.
I get my morning pot using store (HEB) brand French roast, a Capresso Infinity grinder, and a now venerable Bonavita. The grind is somewhat coarse. I love very dark roasts. They are lower in acidity. I also have an extremely old Elektra lever espresso maker and a Sette 270 grinder for espresso. For espresso I love the Grizzly blend from Texas Coffee Traders. I tend to drink Espresso like an Italian, standing up and quickly. For a leisurely late morning cup, sometimes Iāll have a cafe latte, sometimes with 1% milk and sometimes with oat milk. I love coffee.
You are too kind but Iām lazier for sure. I got the Semiautomatica in 2004 and it sat completely unused until 2022. I was pleasantly surprised it works perfectly.
Wow. Iād like to see it when you can post a photo!
Hereās my 18 yo youngster compared to yours. I have the original portafilter but go with the naked instead. I wish the Elektra had more clearance Clarence. Wut?
