Jura Z10

What We Loved

• Bypass chute convenience for pre-ground coffeethere's a chute for pre-ground coffee in the back.
• Cleaning and maintenance supportThe Z10 comes with a cleaning tray and a cleaning solution that will last several cleaning cycles
• Control-panel clarity (buttons, dials, touchscreen)easy to navigate interface
• Froth texture / microfoam qualityThe lattes came out picture-perfect with sudsy microfoam.
• Grind consistency (built-in grinder)we found that the Jura produces perfect espresso grounds. (It's a total dissolved solids (TDS) between 7% and 12% TDS, if you're curious.)This is the first of any automatic espresso machines we've tested that has actually achieved true espresso as defined by the IEI.the Jura's built-in grinder more than suffices.
• Grind-size range & precisionThe Z10's "product-recognizing grinder" (PRG) has a sensor that dials grind size based on the beans and adjusts in real time to optimize brewing.
• Milk temperature controlthe milk was never burned.
• Multi-drink versatility (espresso, lungo, Americano, etc.)The Jura lists 16 different programmable beverages, each available as a single or double. You get an array of espressos (hot and cold), long black or Americano coffees, and milk-based macchiatos, cortados, lattes, and cappuccinos.
• One-touch brewing conveniencemakes nearly cafe-quality espresso drinks with no plastic or aluminum waste at the push of a button.
• Overall cup quality / flavor balanceIt brews excellent espresso and coffee, and the specialty drink menu is extensive (including cold brew).Every latte feels like it came straight from a Parisian café.Highest-quality espresso we've tried from an automatic machine
• Programmability / custom profilesThe Jura lists 16 different programmable beverages, each available as a single or double.
• Single-cup brew timeFast brewing

Just Okay

• Bluetooth/WiFi connectivitythe machine is Bluetooth- and WiFi-compatible with the addition of "WiFi Connect," a plug-in piece of hardware which you can even operate through Siri, but you'll have to buy that separately, too.
• Counter-space footprintLarge and prohibitively expensive for many peopleIt is shockingly pricey and takes up even more counter space.
• Iced / cold-brew function qualityOne of the big standouts for the Z10 is its "cold brew" function. It doesn't exactly make cold-brew coffee — the beverage is akin to a somewhat watery nitro brew, which is impressive considering it's served up in less than a minute.If you want a proper cold brew, look elsewhere, but if you are happy with something close to nitro with minimal effort, the Z10 will serve you well.
• Value compared to competitorsThe biggest downsides of the machine are its size, price, and expensive accessories that we think should be included with the almost $4,000 base machine.
• Voice-assistant integrationthe machine is Bluetooth- and WiFi-compatible with the addition of "WiFi Connect," a plug-in piece of hardware which you can even operate through Siri, but you'll have to buy that separately, too.

Needs Improvement

• Customer supportwe found dealing with Jura's customer service to be a frustrating experience.
• Ease of cleaningThe worst thing about this machine, and any automatic machine that incorporates milk, is the cleanup.you'll want to make sure you clean the machine and the accessories after every milk-based drink.the cleaning process is clunkier and more involved than a quick steam purge.
• Espresso quality compared to traditional machinesIn the end, no fully automatic espresso machine we've tried competes with a quality semi-automatic machine and a perfectly dialed burr grinder.
• PriceTo be clear, this is a nearly $4,000 machine.Large and prohibitively expensive for many people

What We Loved

• Aesthetic design appealSleek, minimalist, stylish, and classyIt looks like a seriously premium piece of kit

• Multi-drink versatility (espresso, lungo, Americano, etc.)28 specialty coffees (plus hot water/milk portion)

Needs Improvement

What We Loved

• Aesthetic design appealThe machine is very nice to look at
• Build quality & durabilityThe machine is very nice to look at, feels very solid and like a premium quality machineThey paid a lot of attention to detail. Even the bean hopper has a solid, weighty feel to it. Nothing on this unit feels cheap
• Crema thickness & textureGood body and a very nice creamy mouthfeel
• Ease of cleaningCleaning it is pretty easy. Even disassembling the milk apparatus to rinse off takes no longer than it would to hand wash a couple of utensils in the sink. very easy to put back together
• Grind consistency (built-in grinder)Grinder seems high quality. Everything from espresso to just regular coffee tastes full bodied and well balanced. The grinder must be really good
• Grinder noise levelGrinder is quiet -- much quieter than my Baratza Forte BG
• Iced / cold-brew function qualityThe cold versions of drinks are very nice. They are actually brewed at room temp with a longer extraction process that you drink with ice or whiskey stones.While certainly not traditional 'cold brew' ... the drinks are very good
• Multi-drink versatility (espresso, lungo, Americano, etc.)Wide selection of coffee types to choose from, everything from an espresso to entire 'jug of coffee'
• Overall cup quality / flavor balancecoffee it makes is absolutely deliciousthe machine has not put out a single bad (or even mediocre) cupThe espresso on default settings from this machine is better than anything i've made with the Brevillethe espresso is truly delightful. Not bitter or sour. Good body and a very nice creamy mouthfeel
• Programmability / custom profilesEach drink is very customizable from strength, amount of water, brew temperature, amount of milk etc.Easy to set presets and save them to the main screen
• Water-tank capacityLarge water tank. I don't feel like i'm always having to fill the damn thing up

Just Okay

• Auto-frother consistencyIf you are making milk drinks with it, you are supposed to clean the milk apparatus each day (seems like a lot, but luckily it is easy to clean)
• Pricemachine that costs $4k

Needs Improvement

• App setup simplicity & stabilityThe J.O.E. companion app is horrendous. It feels like it was made, but not finished, in a week by a summer intern who then decided he wanted to become a monkFor some reason, they require you to be on the same wifi network as the machine to use the appI guess it is only connected to the internet for downloading updatesthis also means that you can't ... leave a cup there in the morning when you leave for work and tap a button in the app to have it ready when you get home
• Cold brew scheduling convenienceThere is also no scheduling to make a drink. Seems a pretty basic idea for a machine that costs $4k, and has built-in wifi and bluetooth
• Control-panel clarity (buttons, dials, touchscreen)While the touch screen is very responsive and fast, the way the screens are set up ... makes it seem like you should be able to just swipe horizontally back and forth ... If you do this, you WILL mistakenly hit a drink which will start making immediately.While there is a cancel button, it seems to only actually cancel the drink you are making 10% of the time
• User-manual clarityThe user manual is pretty poor when it comes to just every day use. it is good for maintenance instructions but it is very easy to feel overwhelmed by all the selections and how this machine actually works once you set it on your counter

The Jura Z10: Eighth Generation of Bean to Cup Machines - CoffeeGeek

What We Loved

• Aesthetic design appealThe aluminum front panel is stunningly gorgeous; the white painted side panels just add to the sleek lookthe sleek minimalist design of the entire Z10 also makes you think it is smaller than it really is
• Auto-frother consistencyevery drink I’ve made with milk froth so far on the machine shows a nice level foam in the cup that is very dense in the bubble structure
• Brew-temperature accuracyTuned the temperature up (I was using a fairly light roasted coffee)Temperatures are fully adjustable, so there’s no complaints there
• Build quality & durabilityAlmost everything about this machine screams quality too. The aluminum front panel... the side mounted water reservoir, to the glass bean hopper lid, to the drip tray design, to the lighting system is all peak quality
• Control-panel clarity (buttons, dials, touchscreen)The full colour display screen is bright, easy to read, and very fast to use
• Counter-space footprintThe machine is also a lot smaller than I thought it would be. It’s not that much bigger than a Profitec GO machine
• Crema thickness & texturedefinitely an enjoyable, full crema, full body, balanced shot of espresso
• Cup clearance / adjustable drip traythe butterfly design of the front pour spouts, allowing you to brew easily into one tiny cup, or spread apart to easily fill two cappuccino cups
• Extraction consistency shot-to-shotWhat’s notable is how repeatable and consistent this shot is, even though I was putting the machine through a lot of different drink built paces in between
• Froth texture / microfoam qualityThe frothed milk quality is fair to good. It isn’t microfoam calibre, but the Z10 produces a dense bubble foam, closer to microfoam than it is to the big airy bubbles you get from pannarello frothers
• Iced / cold-brew function qualitythis machine does a variety of cold brew beverages. And it does it in a very unique wayBrew one of the cold brew recipes into a glass with ice, and within 2 minutes, you’re enjoying cold brew espresso, cortados, cappuccinos, long coffees and lattes. Pretty fantastic
• Lighting design / barista lightsHeck, even the “barista lights” change from bright daylight white to pleasing, candle-light like brown when the machine is actively brewing espresso
• Milk temperature controlThe machine is so advanced, it even has two different “engines” for heating milk... And both systems can have their own set temperatures. If you want the liquid milk to be 65C, but want the foam to be 45C or less, you have those options
• Multi-drink versatility (espresso, lungo, Americano, etc.)it’s an automated, robot barista that can make you just about any hot beverage drink you can imagine. And it also can make just about every cold-brew drink you can think of too
• Overall cup quality / flavor balanceit produced an acceptable double shot of espressodefinitely an enjoyable, full crema, full body, balanced shot of espressoan enjoyable, tasty drinkthe Americano I got from the Z10 was a full point higher in quality than the one I had the day before from one of Victoria’s supposed “top” cafes
• Programmability / custom profilestrust me, you can modify every single drink recipe built into the machinePressing and holding the americano image on the touch screen let me dive into the recipe and modify (and save) it to my own preferencesThe menu system allows you to fully customize every drink recipe in the machine and even set “brew cold” as standard for specific drinks
• Strength-control accuracyI knew the Z10’s max capacity for ground coffee per shot was 16g, but I was letting it use its factory set 14g setting for a 50ml shotMade the grind finer. Upped the dose to a full 16g. Tuned the temperature up... Dialed down the shot volume to 35ml
• Temperature stability during brewShot development is excellent, visuallybalanced shot of espresso
• Voice-assistant integrationThere’s even WiFi enabled machines, complete with apps on your smartphone for further fine tuningAnd even more if you use Jura’s J.O.E. app on Android or iOS

Needs Improvement

• PriceIt’s not cheap: $4,000 is a helluva lot to pay for an espresso machine
