• +$399.50 against a $1,299.95 median, the least expensive bean-to-cup here
• +A ceramic burr grinder, which Bosch says grinds without overheating the beans
• +One-touch espresso, cappuccino and latte macchiato with an adjustable auto frother
• +A front-access removable brew unit, so the part that gets dirtiest can actually be cleaned

• −A 1.33 litre tank, small for a machine meant to run without attention
• −No pump pressure, wattage or weight is published
• −No warranty term is published

• +A variable brewing unit that doses 5 to 16g, which is a wider range than most bean-to-cups admit to.
• +The Pulse Extraction Process, JURA's method for short drinks like espresso and ristretto.
• +A CLEARYL Smart+ filter with automatic detection, and an integrated rinsing, cleaning and descaling programme.
• +Wi-Fi to a home network and control from JURA's J.O.E. app.
• +Zero watt standby and a programmable switch-off.

• −No milk system at all, so no cappuccino, latte or flat white without a separate frother.
• −JURA publishes no price on its own site, and retailers list it at $1,399.
• −Warranty is two years or 6,000 brews, whichever comes first, so a busy household reaches the cap first.
• −No grind setting count is published, and the grinder's aroma claim carries a footnote mark with no footnote.
