Pros & cons

Jura E6

  • P.E.P. makes excellent espresso
  • Swiss engineering quality
  • Quiet operation
  • Beautiful design
  • Very expensive
  • No built-in milk system
  • Proprietary cleaning products
  • Expensive repairs

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
