Jura WE6 Vs Z6: Does The Price Matter In This Battle?

It seems to be easier for me to decide which model is a better bet when comparing the Jura WE6 vs Z6. My answer is definitely the latter.

The reason is that it can deliver a more personal and excellent taste of coffee than its counterpart. There are more programmable brewing temperature levels in this machine.

Besides, while the WE6 only provides traditional coffee, the winner allows you to make tender and aromatic milk-based beverages. Despite coming at a higher price, the utilities and coffee taste it offers are incomparable. That’s the reason why I chose this coffee machine.

Jura WE6 Vs Z6 – Differences

The Z6 easily beats the WE6 with a score of 4-1. It stands out with the ability to deliver a wide range of preset drinks. It also wins my heart for low maintenance, greatly helping me save much time in cleaning. The excellent frothing system is also a plus point that brings the winner title for this coffee machine.

Though the WE6 does not have a better performance in most aspects, it is still a great option in its price range. Additionally, if you seek a more affordable model with a big capacity for commercial use, it is better to go for this machine.

#1. Present Drinks

The Winner: Jura Z6

When buying a coffee machine, you might want it to be able to make as many beverages as possible. In this comparison, the Jura Z6 takes the lead over its counterpart.

It boasts up to 13 beverage settings for you to choose from, while the WE6 only has six. With the winner, you can brew some types of coffee like latte macchiato, flat whites, cappuccino, macchiato that the opponent cannot offer.

The WE6 provides basic coffee beverages such as ristretto, espresso, and coffee. Thus, it might not be attractive to those who prefer milk-based beverages.

#2. Milk Solution

The Winner: Jura Z6

What also sets the Z6 apart from the WE6 is its milk solution. The former comes with an innovative nozzle that can prepare smooth, fine, and significantly tempting milk foam for your specialty coffee. It can transform milk into foam form fully automatically.

I found that this device boasts up to 10 levels of programmable milk foam temperature. You can adjust the heat when frothing to reach the desired taste.

The latter, meanwhile, does not come with any specific features to support the milk frothing process. There are no programs to adjust the temperature of the milk or milk foam.

Besides, it also does not offer built-in specialty coffee options for you to choose from, such as flat whites, latte, or cappuccinos. It seems that the manufacturer designs this model to serve those who only love basic coffee and are not into other types of coffee.

#3. Brewing Experience

The Winner: Jura Z6

When it comes to the brewing experience, the Z6 is again more prominent than the WE6. You can personalize, copy, and save products for inventing your own recipes with the winner. The WE6 cannot do that, so it is partly understandable why it loses a score in this battle.

Furthermore, the Z6 provides up to 10 adjustable coffee strength levels while the opponent has 8. That means you will have more options to adjust the boldness of your coffee.

Another plus point of the winner is that it sports three brewing temperature levels, one more setting than the WE6. Accordingly, you can make a cup of coffee with a better taste when brewing with the Z6, as the brewing temperature greatly affects the coffee taste.

#4. Capacity

The Winner: Jura WE6

It’s a “fine goal” for the WE6 in today’s comparative review. This machine comes with a big water tank capacity of 100.4 ounces, which is 19.4 ounces bigger than its counterpart.

The capacities of its bean hopper and coffee ground container, respectively, are 17.6 ounces and 25 servings. These figures are higher than those of the Z6 (9.9 ounces and 20 servings).

If you seek an option that can serve many coffee drinkers at once, it is advisable to go for the WE6. Otherwise, you can go for the Z6 for the better coffee taste and excellent milk system.

#5. Maintenance

The Winner: Jura Z6

As a higher-end model, the Z6 has numerous built-in maintenance programs such as rinsing the machine, changing the filter, and descaling. It can also automatically clean and rinse the milk system in a dual spout within 15 minutes after milk preparation.

It is super convenient as you no longer need to spend much time cleaning. These functions are not present in the WE6, meaning that you will need to do it by yourself manually.
