JURA S10 Dark Stainless Steel (EA)

I have owned several fully automatic machines by now, so to be honest, I didn't expect a coffee machine to really surprise me beforehand. Yet the new JURA S10 managed to do just that. Especially because, in my opinion, JURA has improved precisely the things you actually notice in daily use.

What struck me immediately is how solid everything feels. The materials feel luxurious and everything works incredibly smoothly. The operation and Wi-Fi connection also went without any problems. Additionally, I think the machine looks really sleek. It is in our new kitchen and, as far as I'm concerned, is truly the eye-catcher of the coffee corner.

I find the automatic bean recognition a very handy addition. The S10 recognizes the beans and adjusts the grinding settings accordingly. For me, features like that make the difference between a machine with many capabilities and one that is actually pleasant to use in daily life. I also think the fisheye camera is smart. It detects whether there is actually a glass under the spout, making it less likely you to make a mistake.

I think the four different coffee worlds are perhaps one of the nicest features of the S10. Naturally, I use the Classic Hot Brew the most, but I find the Light Brew ideal, especially in the evenings. I prefer a slightly lighter coffee then and don't have to adjust anything myself.

I expect to use the Cold Brew a lot this coming summer. It doesn't feel like a feature that's just there for show, but truly a different way to drink coffee. I also find the Sweet Foam very practical. For example, when I make a latte macchiato or cappuccino with syrup, I no longer have to stir the syrup into the coffee myself. The flavor is carried along with the milk foam. It's a small detail, but in practice, I find it really handy.

What I also like is that, in addition to the four coffee modes, you can simply create your own profiles. My morning coffee, for example, is a large double coffee by default. I have saved that in my own profile. When someone else wants coffee or I have guests, I simply choose a coffee via the normal screen. I don't have to change any of my own settings then. It is precisely these kinds of small things that make the device so user-friendly for me. I am also pleased with the milk specialties. With just one press of a button, you have a cappuccino or other milk specialty. I feel that JURA has paid a bit more attention to this than with previous models. I think the milk foam has become more beautiful and fuller. Of course, the milk you use also influences this.

Another practical advantage, in my opinion, is the size. The S10 is 1 centimeter narrower than my previous S8. That might sound like almost nothing, but in my coffee corner, you really notice it. Especially if you don't have a huge amount of space, that extra centimeter is simply a bonus.

For someone who has never owned a JURA before, I would mainly say that you shouldn't just look at the number of functions. I have had several fully automatic machines by now, and naturally, every machine has its strengths. For me, JURA's strength lies primarily in the combination of ease of use and high quality. The S10 can do an incredible amount, but you don't have to figure out all sorts of settings before you can simply brew a good coffee.

I believe that the basic things you use every day simply have to be good. Coffee is something like that to me. The S10 makes that daily moment just a little easier and, to be honest, more enjoyable too. If a device you use every morning makes your day more pleasant in such a simple way, then I think that is perhaps the most important thing in the end.

We have been using the Jura for a while now and are very satisfied with the many features.

I find the cold brew really fantastic for a cold latte macchiato. I add some ice cubes to it, and that is truly delicious on warmer days.

We are also very happy with the milk foam. It is delicious, full of flavor, and as far as I am concerned, truly restaurant-worthy. I find the touchscreen to be a small downside. It is a bit sensitive to me and could be slightly less so. The app on my mobile is also very sensitive. I would appreciate it if an extra confirmation were requested before a cup of coffee is actually brewed. Furthermore, I am very happy with the ability to adjust both the coffee strength and the fineness of the ground beans. It does take some trial and error to create exactly the perfect cup of coffee, but once you have found the right settings, the result is amazing. Which can also be saved immediately in my profile.

All in all, we are very satisfied with this machine!

After my previous coffee machine, this Jura is definitely a significant step forward. What I particularly like is the ease of use. You have a huge number of options, yet the controls remain clear and simple. Additionally, the machine feels very solid. You notice this immediately in the materials. For instance, the lid of the bean reservoir and the handle of the water reservoir are made of metal instead of plastic. Small details perhaps, but it is precisely these kinds of things that give this product a sense of quality. Furthermore, the machine seems to clean itself a bit too often, in my opinion. The number of coffee varieties you can choose from is enormous. And what I find perhaps even more important is that you can adjust the proportions for each coffee type and save them quickly and easily. For my flat white, for example, I used to add a little less milk by default. Just click save after the time and you're done! It's nice that it also features cold brew, resulting in a remarkably smooth, full-bodied coffee. At first glance, the bean reservoir seems a bit on the small side and fills up quickly, but in practice, it's not that bad. In fact, I have the impression that this machine handles beans more efficiently than my previous machine. Cleaning is easy and placing multiple heads in a row goes very smoothly. All in all, very satisfied so far!
