Pros & cons

Jura Z10

  • Cold brew feature is unique
  • P.R.G. auto-adjusts grind
  • Premium Swiss quality
  • Wi-Fi connected
  • Extremely expensive
  • Complex maintenance
  • Proprietary everything
  • Overkill for most users

Jura J8 Twin

  • Two hoppers and grinders - decaf and regular without swapping beans
  • Cold-brew extraction produces genuinely different iced drinks
  • Sweet Foam dosing and a bright modern touchscreen
  • Automatic Grind Adjustment keeps both grinders dialed
  • Nearly four thousand dollars - Z10 territory
  • Brew group not user-removable, like all Juras
  • Big 12.6-inch-wide body needs generous counter space
  • Milk system upkeep is daily and unavoidable
