It does an excellent job of the fundamentals, brewing consistently rich and flavorsome espresso.
It uses a different process to the Jura Z10 we reviewed back in 2023.
Nevertheless, its a pleasure to use.
A dial on the front of the machine lets you choose between hot and foamed milk
The Sweet Foam system isnt complicated, but its implemented perfectly and works exactly as promised.
It has a couple of quirks, though.
Overall, however, the Jura J10 is a treat to use.
The Jura J10 is an attractive machine, and the company has even considered what its removeable milk system looks like
Theres a single, generously sized hopper on top, with an airtight seal to keep your beans fresh.
Its easy to remove, reinsert, and carry to the tap thanks to a convenient folding handle.
Additional filter cartridges are available direct from Jura for $20 / 15.95 / AU$27.90 each.

Its a much more stylish solution than most, and works well.
You do get a plain plastic tube, but this is only used for cleaning the milk system.
Its a smart system that means you dont have to browse through multiple menus to prepare custom drinks.
A control dial allows you to adjust the grind size. and the chute lets you add two scoops of ground coffee(Image credit: Future)
I just had to be more prepared and not spend time dithering.
Its a clever addition, and one that eliminates any potential confusion.
You have to remove and clean the container after each use, but this doesn’t require much effort.
The J10’s water tank is easily removed, and has a replaceable filter to help prevent limescale
Plus, you’re able to use a different flavor whenever you feel like it.
Throw in some ice and I think youd be hard-pressed to tell the difference.
This is something Ive only previously seen on commercial bean-to-cup machines, and it makes a lot of sense.
The Sweet Foam system uses a small container of syrup that attaches to the milk texturizer
4/5
Design
A stylish machine with a well-considered interface and smart dual dispensers.
The only real drawback is an unusually wide and shallow drip tray that can be easy to spill.

The latter two were provided by Jura, along with Tate & Lyle Barista caramel syrup.
I used the milk system with chilled whole milk, purchased that day.
