Jura J95: A Carbon-Finished Feast For The Eyes and Palette
This machine does not enter a room quietly; it strides in gracefully, makes it’s presence known and demands attention. The J95 is one of Jura’s most striking, alluring and luxurious home coffee machines to grace us.
Elegance and Efficiency
If aesthetic is high on your agenda, you cannot go wrong with the J95. A hand-finished carbon front lends an air of quality and refined taste; what we don’t see is that because of this type of material finishing, the machine is inherently more capable of withstanding scratches and knocks which one can expect within the home.
The TFT screen with the customary rotary dial means ease of use is right up there with only the best – plus some! The graphics display on this J95 are a pioneering point for Jura, and we hope to see more of this type of modern display throughout their ever expansive range. One touch-machines can be confusing and misleading, but this machine has such a refined and simple layout it’s impossible to feel any sort of frustration associated with the operation of this beauty.
Brains and Brawn – The Perfect Hybrid
All fair and well that the exterior of this machine is striking and astounding all at once – but what about the internal components?
Well, as we’ve come to expect from the Swiss giant, Jura has been perfecting their already superior Aroma+ Grinder. What can we expect to see in terms of this development in the J95?
“By perfecting the cutting angle inside the grinding cone, the JURA engineers have managed to increase efficiency significantly. As a result, the perfect aroma can now be achieved in all its natural fullness in half the grinding time. So now coffee lovers can enjoy pure and perfect coffee indulgence with less preparation time and less noise.”
I personally think Jura is just showing off now – seriously – twice the aroma in half the time?!
It goes without saying that the stock-standard stand-out features we have come to know and love, still remain. Fine Foam Froth technology, IPBAS (Intelligent Pr-Brew Aroma System) and 5 adjustable coffee strengths have come to feature in this machine again.
Housing one bean hopper at capacity with 250g of beans, the 2.1 litre water tank is perfectly proportionate and makes this little beast the perfect fit for the modernist who appreciates quality coffee in their home at all times.
Jura J95 Specifications
Weighing in at 10.9 kg, this machine holds sturdy in itself, but also allows for it to be freely moved around the house. Hosting a dinner party? Why not make it the guest of honor, we’re sure you won’t regret it.
Width – 28.5 cm, Height 34.2 cm and a Depth of 43.3 cm, this machine fits as snugly into your under-counter surface as it does into your lifestyle.
This machine not only looks incredible, outputs up to 16 cups of coffee before requiring refilling and has active bean monitoring – but it’s helping save our environment. The energy efficiency of CH 55.8 kw per h means it is now classed at the highest echelon of Jura energy-saving – class A.
Tasty coffee with a clear conscience? Yes please!
Also, if you think this machine is limited to the banality of a coffee purists dream (i.e. – exceptional Espresso’s) – you’ll be pleasantly mistaken.
The Jura J95 is capable of making the following drinks selection:
Cappuccino, Coffee, Espresso, Ristretto, Latte Macchiato and Milk foam.
So, what’s the downside? There is always at least one shortfall on any kind of coffee machine, and this is no exception. The J95 is limited in the fact that is only has a single thermoblock – meaning you are only able to either coffee or milk at one time. This might seem insignificant, but to some users this is a downside. In the bigger picture, home users are generally speaking in no huge rush, so the approximate ten second delay between dispensing coffee and milk froth may be easily forgotten.
Jura J95 Price
Coming in at $3 400.00, this is a real investment piece for your home space. Considering how feature-filled this machine is, and the weight of the brand name it carries, it might well be an asset into which you are willing to invest.
Within this price range, however (and in the interest of transparency and diplomacy) – you should know that it is possible to have – for +/- $2 000.00 more, a Jura GIGA range, or alternatively a Jura Z9. However, neither of these machine measure up to the aesthetic appeal of the J95 – and the decision really is yours.
Whichever way you decide to go, know that your coffee machine investment is safe when choosing Jura.
