De'Longhi Magnifica Start Automatic Espresso Machine vs Jura Z10 (NAB)

A first bean-to-cup, where the machine grinds, doses and brews and you steam the milk

Scores higher on grinder & grind control, value for money, kitchen fit & noise.

A household that wants hot, cold brew and light brew coffee drinks, 51 of them, from one touchscreen with no barista skill at all

Scores higher on drinks & milk system, cleaning & upkeep, ease of use.

• +Two years of cover, and a third if you register, which is the longest available at this price.
• +Thirteen grind settings, the only lever a bean-to-cup gives you over the shot.
• +A 1.77 litre tank and dishwasher-safe removable parts.
• +A 5.46 inch cup clearance, so a travel mug fits under it.

• −A manual frother, not an automatic milk system, on a bean-to-cup at $699.99.
• −Three one-touch recipes, where the Dinamica at twice the price has far more.
• −De'Longhi does not state whether the brew group is removable, which decides how it is cleaned.
• −No burr material and no heat-up time are published.

• +51 specialities, including Cold Brew versions of eleven drinks and Light Brew versions of eight, all at one touch.
• +The P.R.G.2+ grinder sets grind and dose for the drink you choose, fine for espresso and coarse for Cold Brew.
• +A 2.4 l water tank, 3 brew temperatures, 10 strength levels and a Caffeine Regulator with 3 levels.
• +A powder chute for ground coffee, One-Touch milk system cleaning and a CLEARYL Smart+ filter the machine detects automatically.
• +Aluminium front panels, a 4.3 inch touchscreen, Wi-Fi for the J.O.E. app and manufacture in Switzerland.

• −At $4,499.00 it is the most expensive bean-to-cup machine on this site, $1,900 more than the Jura E8.
• −Jura's page does not state the grinder's burr material.
• −The bean container holds 280 g, no more than the E8, so a busy household refills it often.
• −Jura still lists the first generation Z10 alongside this one, with 40 specialities, so check the NAB code before buying.
