Our personal favorites across the Jura range. These are the machines our editors would buy with their own money, based on hands-on testing, long-term owner feedback, and current pricing.
How We Choose Our Editor’s Picks
Unlike our category recommendations (best for home, best budget, etc.), Editor’s Choice reflects personal preference. Each pick is a machine we have used extensively and would genuinely recommend to a friend. We update this list as we test new models and as pricing shifts.
Our Picks
Jura E8
The machine that keeps earning its spot. Reliable, versatile, and produces excellent espresso and milk drinks day after day. Our most-recommended Jura overall.
$1,500-$2,000
Jura Z10
The best Jura you can buy for the home. Cold brew sealed it - once you have it, you do not want to go back. Worth every dollar if your budget allows.
$3,000-$3,500
Honorable Mentions
- Jura S8 - If the E8 is unavailable, the S8 is the natural step up. Same milk system, better screen, slightly higher price. A genuinely premium feel every morning.
- Jura Impressa J9 - A classic. If you find one at a good price (new or refurbished), the J9 still delivers excellent espresso with a proven track record.
What Sets These Apart
| E8 | Z10 | S8 | J9 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Why we love it | Best all-rounder | Cold brew + smart grinder | Beautiful interface | Proven reliability |
| Best for | Most buyers | Enthusiasts | Design-conscious | Value hunters |
| Specialties | 17 | 32 | 15 | 13 |
| Our rating focus | Value + quality | Innovation | Design + UX | Longevity |
What About the GIGA?
The GIGA 6 is an impressive machine, but it is built for volume, not personal use. At $4,500+, it makes sense for offices and cafes rather than home kitchens. If you need high capacity, see our office recommendations.
How This List Differs from “Best Overall”
Our Best Overall pick focuses on the single best recommendation for the widest audience. Editor’s Choice is broader - it includes machines we love for specific reasons, even if they are not the “safe” recommendation for everyone. The Z10 is a great example: it is our favorite to use, but we know the E8 is the smarter buy for most people.
