The best Jura espresso machines for daily home use. We compare models suited to 1-10 cups per day, focusing on the features that matter most in a kitchen: counter footprint, noise levels, milk frothing quality, and daily convenience.
What Makes a Good Home Machine?
Most households make 2-6 drinks per day. You need a machine that heats up fast, makes great espresso and milk drinks, cleans itself reliably, and does not take over your counter. We weigh these factors more heavily than raw drink count or commercial-grade durability.
Our Home Recommendations
Jura E8
17 specialties, quiet Aroma G3 grinder, fine-foam milk. Handles everything a household needs.
Jura S8
4.3” touchscreen upgrade. Same milk system. Ideal if you want a more polished daily experience.
Jura Z10
32 specialties plus cold brew. For households that want everything.
Budget-Friendly Home Option
If the E8 is above your budget, the Jura E6 ($1,000-$1,300) is a capable home machine with 8 specialties and built-in milk frothing. It covers espresso, cappuccino, and latte - the drinks most households make daily. See our E6 vs E8 comparison for what you give up.

Tips for Home Buyers
Counter space matters. Measure your available space before buying. All Jura home models need about 11-13 inches of width and 16-18 inches of depth, plus room to open the bean hopper and water tank.
Think about your drinks. If your household only drinks espresso and Americano, the E6 or even the D6 is all you need. If someone in the house wants lattes, cappuccinos, or flat whites, prioritize a good milk system - the E8 and above have Jura’s best.
Factor in maintenance costs. Budget about $80-120 per year for cleaning tablets, descaling solution, and water filters. This applies to every Jura model. See our cleaning products guide for specific recommendations.
Water quality is important. Use the CLARIS water filter or filtered tap water. Hard water shortens machine life and affects taste. Our water filtration guide explains why this matters.
