• +An integrated milk carafe with an automatic cleaning cycle that froths twice and then removes itself for the fridge
• +A 100% ceramic grinder with 10 settings, and pre-brewing pause before extraction
• +Made in Italy, with a Quick Heat boiler and a 1.5 litre tank

• −$1,049, and $50 more than the Philips 4300 LatteGo
• −Black ABS bodywork on a machine at this price
• −One-year warranty, where Breville and Philips publish two

• +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.
