Pros and cons

From each full review, written from the same published facts as the scores above.

Gaggia Anima Espresso Machine
  • +Three brew temperatures published as real numbers, which almost no bean-to-cup states.
  • +100% ceramic burrs, which hold an edge longer than steel and do not transmit heat into the grounds.
  • +A removable brew group that Gaggia says can be washed under the tap.
  • +A Pannarello wand, so milk is yours rather than a carafe's, and cleaning is a purge and a wipe.
  • +Made in Italy, at $699.00.
  • −Gaggia publishes no warranty term on either of its own sites, at any length.
  • −Five grind settings, against 13 on the De'Longhi Magnifica Start at the same money.
  • −A Pannarello makes foam rather than microfoam, so latte art is effectively out.
  • −Gaggia's two sites disagree about the machine's wattage, so we do not state one.

Jura Z10 (NAB)
  • +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.
