Swiss company Jura, known for its high-end coffee makers, has released a premium automatic espresso machine that offers a menu of 51 different drinks, including hot and cold-brewed coffee, plus luxurious chocolate drinks.
The new Jura Z10 is a successor the the Jura J10, which has long held a place in my guide to the best coffee makers thanks to its consistently excellent coffee brewing and milk frothing, plus its ability to incorporate any type of syrup (with or without sugar) into your chosen milk via its clever Sweetfoam system.
This uses a small container, which you fill with syrup and attach to the milk dispenser. As milk passes through, the syrup is added a little at a time so it's distributed evenly throughout the drink. The result is an intense flavor with every sip (rather than concentrated at the bottom of the cup, as it would be if you pumped syrup in before brewing your coffee), and surprisingly stable foam that remains to the last drop of coffee.
The Jura Z10 has all the same coffee-brewing features as the J10, plus a new system that makes creamy chocolate foam using either syrup or powder. It's ideal for mochaccinos, and other coffee and chocolate drinks.
The Jura Z10 can produce perfectly extracted coffee thanks to its precision grinder, which can automatically fine-tune the grind size to suit your chosen beans and drink (a rare feature, since most bean-to-cup machines require manual adjustment).
Other features include Coffee Timer, Caffeine Regulator, Milk Assistant and Quality Assistant, all of which help you achieve consistent results with each brew, and tailor the taste to your preferences.
The machine is Wi-Fi enabled, and can be controlled via a bright 4.3-inch touchscreen, or remotely via Jura's smartphone app.
As with the J10, this kind of versatility doesn't come cheap. The Z10 is available direct from Jura for £2,500 (about $3,400 / AU$4,800). I'm hoping to test it soon, and bring you a full review so you can decide for yourself whether it justifies the investment.
