De'Longhi Dinamica

  • Excellent LatteCrema milk system
  • Easy touchscreen
  • Multiple drink presets
  • Self-cleaning
  • Expensive
  • Not true espresso purist quality
  • Complex cleaning
  • Large footprint

Jura E4

  • Cheapest way into Jura's shot quality and Swiss build
  • No milk system means dramatically less cleaning
  • Eighth-generation brew unit with P.E.P. pulse extraction
  • Compact footprint fits under standard cabinets
  • No milk options at all - not even hot water frothing
  • Still locked into Claris filters and Jura tablets
  • Small 4-button interface, no touchscreen
  • Costs more than milk-capable rivals like the Philips 5400
