The counter’s vote
Looks barely figure in either machine’s record — the counter can sit this one out.
E6 (2023): Minimalist stainless/plastic hybrid; kitchen-neutral to subtly premium aesthetic — purchased for function and reliability rather than counter appeal. Jura's design language reads as capable…

The size difference, to scale

“There are a lot of plus points to the Jura E6 bean-to-cup coffee machine: you get the same quality design and engineering you'll find on Jura's more costly machines combined with the same delicious coffee output.”
“The milk is at an ideal temperature, and there is a notable difference between the cappuccino (a light, airy froth) and the latte (a creamier, smoother foam).”
