does anyone use the Franke Saphira, Saeco Idea Cappuccino, or the Jura Capresso Impressa Z6 espresso machine?
i am doing a feasibility study and i've been trying to find customer reviews on these three machines, any help would be great! thanks!
These are three very expensive so-called "superautomatic" espresso machines, geared towards a commercial establishment that demands production of 100-120 cups/day. The Saphira is generally regarded as overpriced relative to its performance, and I couldn't find reviews on the Saeco you mentioned. Jura Capresso tends to set the benchmark for this kind of machine, so both in terms of taste and value, that is likely the best of the three. Some of Franke's high-end machines (not the Saphira) are also quite highly regarded.
Do keep in mind that no superauto currently in existence can beat out a well-trained barista with a La Marzocco, Synesso, or similar quality machine. If you want to be known for the quality of your espresso shots, that's the way to go.
Still, all three of these machines ought to make an espresso-based beverage pleasing to the average American palate, at the touch of one button, with zero mess. There is something to be said for that.
(Okay you should have a barista come in and program it properly before the first use and tweak it if you switch bean blends)
Here are sample reviews for two:

Franke Saphira (being compared to a number of other machines):

I couldn't find a review for the Saeco, but it can be purchased here, and this company is well-regarded by the coffee aficionado community. They likely can tell you more about it: http://www.wholelattelove.com/commercial/products/idea_cap.cfm?ItemID=945&CPpage=reviewadd&add=1
And for the basis of my main commentary, in addition to the comparison review link I posted next to the Saphira, you should also read this:
