It tastes... fine? But not great. Better than your typical gas station coffee, worse than a manual espresso machine. I tried to do a blind taste test with my friend who is a connoisseur and makes his own espresso with precise weights and pressures every morning. Lol the Jura failed horribly, the resulting output just looked so visually different (lost most of the oils) that he couldn't not see the difference even if he tried. And the taste of the stuff he made (from the same batch of beans) was just so incomparably better. I never realized there could be so much difference from preparation alone.
But still, I love my Jura. When I wake up I don't want to spend ten minutes doing math to make my coffee. I can barely push the button and wait 30 secs for it to make it for me, lol. Like I said, totally fine if you can learn to love mediocrity... I find it's a good philosophy for coffee and life alike :)
Edit: and oh normally we'd drink it either as an Americano (espresso and lots of water, basically a lazy man's drip) or with cold oatmilk poured over as an iced latte. The fancier models have steaming wands too so you can make lattes and cappuccinos and such. Never tried though, too fancy lol
I know some folks who love Folgers made in a coffee pot. It wouldn’t be my first choice but it shouldn’t be compared to single origin espresso, it’s just a different drink with its own pros and cons.
