Super-automatic grinders (Jura, Saeco, DeLonghi) get clogged by surface oils. Here are the safe, non-oily beans that taste great and won't ruin your grinder.
If you own a Jura, Saeco, or DeLonghi, your machine uses a built-in grinder with a chute that feeds ground coffee into the brew group.
Dark, shiny, oily beans (like Starbucks French Roast) leave a sticky residue. Over time, this acts like glue. It binds coffee dust to the burrs and the brew unit.
The beans listed below are Medium to Medium-Dark. They have the flavor punch you want, but the surface is dry (matte), ensuring they slide through your machine without leaving a mess.
The most popular choice for a reason. A perfect balance of mildness and crema. It’s dry enough to flow freely through your hopper but rich enough to taste like Italy.
