Pros and cons
From each full review, written from the same published facts as the scores above.
Jura E8 (NAC)
- +17 one-touch specialities, from 2 x espresso and 2 x coffee to cortado, flat white and latte macchiato.
- +Automatic one-touch cleaning of the milk system, which is the part of bean-to-cup machines people most often neglect.
- +A powder chute for ground coffee, so you can make a decaf without emptying the beans.
- +CLEARYL Smart+ filter with an RFID chip that tells the machine when the filter is used up.
- +10 coffee strength levels and 7 grind settings, made in Portugal.
- −Jura publishes no price on its own page, and at $2,599.00 from a dealer it costs well over twice the Philips 4300 LatteGo on this site.
- −Cup clearance tops out at 111 mm, so tall latte glasses may not fit under the spout.
- −A 280 g bean container and 1.9 l tank mean frequent refills in a busy household.
- −The dealer lists a plastic housing, which is ordinary at this price in bean-to-cup machines but worth knowing.

- +P.A.G.2+ grinder with 7 grind levels and 10 strength levels.

- −$2,599 even on sale, and $3,299 at list.
- −No cold brew, unlike the Z10.
- −One grinder: the J8 twin has two for switching beans.
