The catch
Jura GIGA 10
The bigger body buys little water capacity over the Z10 and no stated spent-portion capacity.
Side by side
Jura GIGA 10 vs Jura Z10: a lower body, or two beans and household profiles
Quick verdict
The GIGA 10 fits a shared household that needs two different beans ready and benefits from four favorite profiles. The original Z10 fits when one bean covers most drinks and the lower body works better in your space. The GIGA 10 doubles bean storage yet adds only 0.2 liters of water over the Z10, and both list approximately 20 spent portions. Do not buy the GIGA just because you expect every refill and emptying task to shrink a lot.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
Twice the bean supply may leave the morning emptying chore as it was
Across its two hoppers the GIGA 10 stores 560 g, against the Z10’s 280 g in one. It holds only 200 ml more water, though, which is about 8% more, and both specify approximately 20 spent portions. When everyone drinks the same bean and the annoying part is carrying the tray to the sink, the headline bean increase is a weak reason to upgrade. The gain that counts is having a second whole-bean variety ready. Which shared resource needs attention first still depends on recipes and rinsing.
Where this comes from
Total beans: 560/280 = 2. Water: 2.6 − 2.4 = 0.2 L and 0.2/2.4 = 8.3%. Approximate grounds: 20 versus 20. Nothing follows about a full-drink count, an emptying schedule or a service interval.
The catch
Jura Z10
With one 280 g hopper, you cannot keep two whole-bean varieties ready, so an alternate coffee stays a manual job.
Jura GIGA 10
- Why pick it
- Both regular and decaf need to be ready for whole-bean preparation, and the household has several favorite sets.
- Your space has room, both vertical and working, for the 41.5 cm-high body.
- The catch
- The bigger body buys little water capacity over the Z10 and no stated spent-portion capacity.
Jura Z10
- Why pick it
- One bean serves the household, and the 36.3 cm-high body leaves more clearance below the cabinets.
- Automatic grinding adjusted to each drink and ten milk-temperature choices appeal to you, and a second hopper does not.
- The catch
- With one 280 g hopper, you cannot keep two whole-bean varieties ready, so an alternate coffee stays a manual job.

What this page compares
Jura GIGA 10 vs original Z10 for regular and decaf, shared favorites and limited cabinet height. Work out which feature of the larger machine is worth the space it takes.
These are two premium Jura automatics that do cold extraction. The model with more capacity brings a second bean channel and household organization instead of doubling every resource.

How we worked this out
Total beans: 560/280 = 2. Water: 2.6 − 2.4 = 0.2 L and 0.2/2.4 = 8.3%. Approximate grounds: 20 versus 20. Nothing follows about a full-drink count, an emptying schedule or a service interval.
Saved recipes and ingredients have to be weighed separately for different people
With the GIGA’s four profiles, each person can keep three favorite drinks. Where two adults share regular beans and two prefer decaf, profiles and two hoppers together cover both recipe memory and bean choice. If all four want different beans, only two can stay loaded. If they share one bean but disagree about milk temperature, the Z10’s ten temperature choices may matter more than the GIGA’s three. Neither profile system promises complete milk-allergen separation.
How we worked this out
Four profile sets, two physical bean supplies and the documented 3 versus 10 milk-temperature levels. Nothing here claims that each level is an equal temperature step or a health benefit.
Matching widths can hide how much overhead space you give up
Each body is 32 cm wide, yet the GIGA stands 41.5 cm high against 36.3 cm for the Z10. With 5.2 cm of difference, a refill spot that works can become one where the machine has to be moved every time supplies are topped up. Under a low cabinet and with frequent use, that strengthens the Z10’s case whenever the second bean is not needed. Check the real lid opening and the route for removing the tank. Neither closed height guarantees the machine will operate inside a cabinet, and ventilation instructions still apply.
How we worked this out
41.5 − 36.3 = 5.2 cm body-height difference at an equal 32 cm width. Working clearance has not been verified and has to be measured. Z10 depth figures with conflicting units are left out.

Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | Jura GIGA 10 | Jura Z10 | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beans ready | Two 280 g hoppers | One 280 g hopper | The GIGA brings a whole second bean choice. It does not add capacity to the first hopper. |
| Water and spent portions | 2.6 L, about 20 portions | 2.4 L, about 20 portions | Water goes up only modestly, and grounds capacity stays where it was. |
| Body height and width | 41.5 cm high, 32 cm wide | 36.3 cm high, 32 cm wide | At the same width, the GIGA takes up 5.2 cm more height. |
| Household customization | Four profiles with three favorites each, three milk-temperature levels | Personalized drinks and ten milk-temperature levels | Decide between better organization and the specific range of controls you use. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With Jura GIGA 10
- Two beans and a milk connection are shared by all four profiles. They do not give you four separate ingredient paths.
With Jura Z10
- Newer Z10 recipe and syrup-accessory marketing is a separate matter, so check this original 15464 package on its own.
Change of plan
When the answer changes
You use a second whole bean and shared sets of favorites every day
Go with Jura GIGA 10. The GIGA brings the physical bean channel and four profiles.
A single bean is enough and vertical workspace is tight
Go with Jura Z10. The Z10’s lower body leaves more room overhead.
Decision guide
Before you buy
An upgrade for several people sounds right, but the larger machine could leave your main refill problem nearly as it was.
What this page can’t tell you
- No winner on speed, flavor or noise was measured. The GIGA weight and Z10 depth specifications conflict, so neither is used to decide the purchase.
