Hey r/superautomatic,

I’m upgrading from a 6-year-old Siemens EQ.9 plus connect s500 (~15,000 cups, still works but flavor is fading and I want Cold Brew). I’ve narrowed it down to three machines and would love to hear from people who actually own them.

My household:

•	Family with two kids, daily home office user

•	4-6 cups per day mixed (espresso, cappuccino, occasional cold brew)

•	Two coffee preferences in the house, so dual bean hopper is important

My three options:

1.	Jura Z10 EB (current gen, \~1,800 EUR) - single hopper, but Coffee Timer, Sweet Foam, Mocaccino attachment, the famous Jura espresso character

2.	Siemens TQ907D03 (EQ900, \~1,880 EUR) - dualBean, removable brew unit, integrated milk system

3.	Siemens TQ927E03 (EQ900 iAroma, brand new March 2026, \~2,150 EUR) - same as TQ907 but with active cup pre-warming, new UI, XL drinks, improved glass

My honest dilemmas:

•	Is the Jura espresso quality really noticeably better in daily use, or is it just marketing and minor nuance? People who switched from Siemens to Jura or vice versa - what changed for you?

•	Is dualBean a game-changer in real family life, or do you end up using one bean anyway?

•	TQ907 vs TQ927 iAroma: is the active cup pre-warming worth \~270 EUR? Anyone who actually has the iAroma yet, please chime in - reviews are still thin

•	Z10 owners: how often do you actually use the Mocaccino/Sweet Foam features after the novelty wears off?

•	Jura owners with kids: do they steal the machine for chocolate foam drinks, or is it overrated?

What I value:

•	Removable brew unit for hygiene transparency

•	Long-term reliability over flashy features

What I’m willing to pay extra for:

•	Genuinely better espresso (not just “slightly different profile”)

•	Features I’ll actually use in 5 years, not just month one

Not interested in: “just buy a portafilter” answers - I know, I know, but for my volume and family setup a fully automatic is the right tool.

Real-world stories, regrets, surprises - all welcome. Thanks!
