Jura Z10 vs Jura W8 | Super Auto Beans

Q: Is the Z10 better than the W8?

It depends on your priorities. The Jura Z10 excels for users who want pioneering Cold Brew espresso tech and auto-adjusting grinder, while the Jura W8 is the better choice if you prioritize Standard features.

Q: How do the grinders compare?

The Z10 uses a Steel Conical (P.R.G.), whereas the W8 features a Steel Conical. While both are high-quality internal systems, they are sealed components. To prevent clogging and avoid expensive repairs, we strongly recommend using non-oily, medium-roast beans in both machines.

Q: Which machine is easier to clean?

The Z10 uses a Fixed brew group, while the W8 uses a Fixed system. Generally, removable groups (like DeLonghi) allow for manual rinsing under a tap, while fixed groups (like Jura) rely on automated tablet cleaning cycles.

Buy the Z10 if you:

Want the only machine that brews genuine Cold Brew espresso.
Demand the absolute best build quality and latest tech.
Value high resale value and long-term durability.

Buy the W8 if you:

Need a machine with commercial capacity for an office.
Want the Coffee Eye to assist with cup placement.
Need a large water tank and bean hopper to reduce refilling.

Expert Verdict

"Choose the Z10 for its modern touchscreen navigation. Pick the W8 if you prefer tactile buttons."

Critical Maintenance Warning

Don't Ruin Your New Investment

Regardless of which machine you choose, both rely on internal grinders that are sensitive to oily beans. To keep your Jura out of the repair shop, stick to these non-oily selections.
