As a coffee enthusiast, I readily acknowledge my discerning taste. My quest for the perfect cup has led me to seek out high-quality beans and the ideal oat milk for a creamy, balanced flat white. However, achieving café-level results at home requires the right equipment.

Recently, I decided to pause my $6 daily coffee habit and test out the JURA Giga 10.
Priced at $5,903, this is certainly not a cheap purchase, but according to my calculations, if I use it to replace my daily coffee outings, I could recuperate the cost in about 2.5 years.
So, does investing in a top-tier coffee machine truly result in superior coffee? I set out to discover the answer.
The specs and setup
When you purchase the JURA Giga 10, it quickly becomes evident just how large the machine is.
Fortunately, we were renovating our kitchen during its arrival, allowing us to ensure that our ‘breakfast cupboard’ was adequately sized to accommodate the machine.
Included in the packaging of the JURA Giga 10 are the coffee machine, a set of cleaning wipes, and a milk system designed to keep your milk cold and readily available for coffee preparations throughout the day.
After unpacking the machine, set-up was minimal.
With the drip tray installed, simply plug it in, connect the milk cord, and you’re nearly ready to brew.
In terms of specifications, this machine is sure to impress.
Featuring two separate bean containers, each equipped with its own grinder, a revolutionary cold extraction process, and a user-friendly panorama panel, the GIGA 10 offers an extensive array of beverage options — 35, to be exact.
Whether you desire an oat flat white, a creamy cappuccino, or a cold brew, this machine can handle it all with just a touch of a button.
Intelligent technology allows for seamless switching between milk and milk foam during preparation.
Additionally, Automatic Grinder Adjustment (A.G.A.) continually fine-tunes the grinder’s burrs to maintain consistent grind size — the kind of quality you’d expect from a café.
As someone who appreciates aesthetics, I find the design of this machine particularly appealing.
The turbine-inspired bean containers exude a luxury aesthetic that evokes high-performance machinery, while the overall sleek design fits comfortably in both modern and traditional kitchens.
The experience
The true strength of this coffee machine lies in its performance.
The coffee it brews is silky smooth and perfectly strong, taking all the hassle out of grinding and tamping; just press a button and enjoy.
Another feature I appreciate is the milk frothing unit, which allows for personalized adjustments, catering to those who favor either a creamy latte or a frothy cappuccino.
Equipped with Wi-Fi capability, the JURA Giga 10 lets you pre-set your drink preferences, adding a layer of convenience to your coffee ritual.
At home, my husband has a preset called ‘Duncan’, while mine is ‘Sophie’.
An added benefit is the two distinct bean containers, enabling you to experiment with different beans for each cup without the need to switch them out manually.
The verdict
In conclusion, while this coffee machine is indeed a significant investment, I believe it is worthwhile for any coffee lover.
Having the option to craft my own coffee at home has made trips to coffee shops less necessary, ultimately saving me money.
I recognize that a machine of this size might not suit everyone, particularly those with limited kitchen space.
However, I would wholeheartedly recommend it to any coffee enthusiast looking for a premium experience at home.
