Which Jura should I buy? A model picker by budget and use
Not sure which Jura? Take the 60-second quiz.
Short answer: for one or two people who drink mostly black coffee, a refurbished Impressa C5, C9 or J9.2 does everything you need for well under $1,000. For a household that drinks flat whites and lattes, the E8 is the sweet spot, with the ENA 8 if bench space is tight. For heavy home use or a small office, look at the S8, Z8 or Z10. For a busy office, the GIGA 5 or GIGA X7. On a tighter budget, a refurbished E6 or ENA 8 gives you one-touch milk for a fraction of the new price.
- Jura’s home range is the ENA, E, D, J, S, Z and Giga series. The office range is the WE, X and Giga X series. We stock and refurbish the C, E, ENA, J, S, Z and GIGA models listed below.
- The big price steps buy milk automation, a better grinder, larger tanks and touchscreens – not better espresso. Every Jura makes a good espresso.
- Two questions decide most of the choice: how many cups a day, and milk or black.
- A refurbished Jura from Chameleon Coffee costs well under the equivalent new model and comes with a warranty on parts and labour.
E8 vs S8 vs Z10 vs ENA 8: refurbished prices (checked 19 Oct 2026)
| Model | Milk | Who it suits | Our refurbished price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jura ENA 8 | One-touch | Small kitchens, one or two people | $999 |
| Jura E8 | One-touch | Most households | $1,149 |
| Jura S8 | One-touch | Busy households who like a touchscreen | $1,595 |
| Jura Z10 | One-touch | Hot and cold brew, heavy home use | $2,649 |
So the four most-asked-about models run from $999 to $2,649 refurbished, each with a 12-month warranty on the internals (the external milk frother, drip tray, water tank and covers are excluded). For the two closest rivals, see Jura E8 vs S8. Prices change with stock, so the product page is the source of truth.
Start with two questions
1. How many cups a day?
Count everyone in the house or office, on a normal day. One to four cups: a C5, C9, J9.2 or ENA 8. Five to fifteen: the E8, S8 or Z-series with their larger tanks and grounds containers. Fifteen to forty: a Z10 or GIGA 5. More than forty: you are in office territory – the GIGA 5 or GIGA X7 with its two grinders.
2. Milk or black?
If you drink long blacks and espresso, skip milk automation entirely and put the money into a better grinder and a bigger tank – a refurbished C5, C9 or J9.2. If you drink flat whites, lattes or cappuccinos every day, buy a one-touch milk machine: ENA 8, E8, S8, Z8 or Z10. Machines with a simple frother (E6, C9, J9.2) make good milk foam but need you to move the cup between coffee and milk.
The Jura series explained
| Series | Best for | Milk | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Impressa C5 / C9 | One or two people, black coffee, small benches | Frother (C9) | Compact, simple and cheap to service. The lowest-cost way into a refurbished Jura. |
| ENA 8 | Small kitchens that still want milk drinks | One-touch | The compact machine that does everything, at a compact-machine price premium. |
| Impressa J9.2 | Black coffee drinkers on a budget who want a bigger tank | Frother | Robust, roomy, easy to service. |
| E6 | Households wanting occasional milk foam | Frother (two-step) | Good value. Cappuccino yes, one-touch latte no. |
| E8 | Most households | One-touch | The best seller for a reason: Pulse Extraction, one-touch milk, the full drink menu, sensible price. |
| S8 | Enthusiasts and busy households | One-touch | Touchscreen, wider drink range, bigger grinder and tank. |
| Z6 / Z8 | Busy households that want the Z-series grinder and tank | One-touch | Pulse Extraction, large tank and hopper, premium milk texture. Handles small-office volumes. |
| Z10 | Top of the home range | One-touch | Adds cold-brew extraction and a faster grinder. Handles small-office volumes. |
| GIGA 5 | Heavy households, home offices, studios | One-touch | Two grinders and two heating systems: two drinks at once. |
| GIGA X7 | Offices of 30–80 cups a day | One-touch | Two grinders, large tank and grounds container, fast. Built for duty. |
What each budget step actually buys
Entry: reliable espresso and black coffee, a simple frother at most, smaller tank. The coffee is not worse – this is the same brew technology as the expensive models. Mid: one-touch milk drinks, a quieter and finer grinder, bigger tank and hopper, a proper display. This is where most households should spend. Premium: touchscreens, cold brew, dual grinders, a longer drink menu. Nice to have, rarely used. Office: larger tanks and grounds containers, higher duty cycles, plumbing options and milk coolers. Buy these on capacity, not features.
Are older Impressa models worth buying?
Yes, for black coffee and simple milk drinks. The Impressa C, E, F, J, S, X and Z series (C5, C9, E8, F50, F7, J5, S9, Z5, Z7 and others) have simpler electronics, robust brew groups and parts that are still readily available, so they are cheaper to buy and cheaper to service. What they lack is modern milk automation, fine grinder adjustment and app control. A refurbished Impressa is the cheapest way into a Jura, and many of the ones we service are fifteen years old and still going. If you need a manual, we host the Jura manuals here.
Features that matter, and features that don’t
Matter
- A milk system that matches how you actually drink: one-touch if milk drinks are daily, frother or nothing if they are not.
- The grinder. Newer Professional Aroma and Aroma G3 grinders are quieter and more consistent than older ceramic disc grinders.
- Tank and grounds capacity relative to your cups a day. Refilling twice a day gets old.
- Water filter compatibility. A CLARIS filter all but removes descaling and protects the machine.
- Serviceability. Every Jura can be serviced, but parts cost and availability vary by generation.
Don’t
- Touchscreen size. You will use three drink buttons.
- The number of programmed specialities. Nobody makes a flat white, a cortado and a café au lait on the same day.
- App control and colour options.
New or refurbished?
If the model you want is in our refurbished range, buy refurbished. You get the same machine with the wear parts replaced, a technician’s test and a parts-and-labour warranty, for well under the new price. If you want the very latest generation, buy new. Our guide Should you buy a refurbished coffee machine? covers exactly what refurbished means at Chameleon Coffee.

Frequently asked questions
Which Jura is best for flat whites?
Any one-touch milk model: the E8 for most households, the ENA 8 for small benches, the S8 or Z10 if you want more control over milk texture.
Is the E8 worth it over the E6?
If you drink milk coffee every day, yes: the E8 makes the whole drink in one press. If milk is occasional, the E6 makes the same espresso for less.
How many coffees can a Jura make a day?
More than most households need. On any Jura the practical limit is not the brew unit but the water tank, the bean hopper and the grounds container, and how often someone refills and empties them. Compact models such as the ENA 8 suit one or two people; the E8 and S8 suit most households; the Z10 and GIGA 5 have larger tanks and containers for busier homes and small offices. For a workplace, Jura’s professional range (WE, X and GIGA X) is built for higher volumes and can often be plumbed in. Jura lists a recommended daily output for each model in its specifications, and we can tell you which suits your household or office.
Is an older Jura worth buying?
Yes, if it has been properly refurbished. Older Impressa models are simple, robust and cheap to service, and are the lowest-cost way into a Jura.
Which Jura should an office of 10 buy?
An S8 will handle 10 staff. A GIGA 5 is the better choice if the office grows or if people drink several coffees a day, because of its two grinders and larger tank and grounds capacity.
How long do Jura machines last?
Ten to fifteen years with regular servicing is normal. The brew group, pump and seals are all replaceable, which is what makes that lifespan possible.
