The machine makes good coffee. This is, of course, the most important aspect of a coffee machine. It's simple to use (finding the menu takes a bit of searching at first, but after that, it's straightforward).
The machine has several coffee recipes. It's not as extensive as some competitors, but that can be a plus. It helps with choosing the right one. There are several regular coffee options and a few milk varieties.
The Jura is easy to set. While brewing the coffee (after making your selection), you can use the buttons to adjust the amount of coffee and water. This can be adjusted to your preference to make the coffee just the way you like it. I personally found myself relying on Jura's own settings. I also assume they've done more research than I have. The taste is good, but this obviously depends heavily on the beans you choose.
A small drawback is that everything about this machine is quite compact. This makes emptying the drip tray difficult, the water reservoir is small, and the coffee spout can't be positioned very high for tall glasses. The downside is that it's not a colossal appliance on the countertop. Choices...
The appliance's maintenance is fine. There's no removable brewing unit, so emptying the drip tray is practically the only maintenance required. A plastic container is included for cleaning the milk system. While it works well, it's not the fastest system. You have to fill a container with water, which is pumped through the system (connected to the milk hose). Then you empty the container, and the system rinses again. Some competitors offer faster and easier ways to do this without any intermediate steps. It's a minor point of concern, and for me, it doesn't detract from the overall convenience of this appliance, but this can vary from person to person.
The internal, fixed brewing unit is sometimes a point of contention. If it's impossible to clean, how dirty will it ultimately get? I can't comment on this specific model yet. I've taken apart previous Jura models, and it didn't make a significant difference. I'm not worried about the C9 in that regard either.
I find the on/off button, located on the top left rear of the appliance, a unique choice. Design-wise, it works well, but functionality in small kitchens is a bit less so. It's not the most important feature, but perhaps something to consider depending on the placement.

I had the opportunity to test the Jura C9 Piano Black for a while and was immediately impressed by its stylish design. The glossy piano black finish looks chic and fits perfectly in a modern kitchen. The appliance truly exudes quality.
What particularly surprised me was the milk frothing function. It works fantastically: the milk is frothed beautifully creamy, and the temperature is just right. Cappuccinos and latte macchiatos therefore taste truly like they came from a coffee shop. The only downside is that cleaning the milk system is a bit fiddly. You have to do it regularly and carefully to keep everything hygienic.
Another point I encountered was the extra cost. To keep the machine in top condition, you need various maintenance products, such as filters, cleaning tablets, and milk cleaners. These aren't cheap, and it sometimes feels like you're constantly adding more.
As for the coffee quality, I have absolutely nothing to complain about. The Jura C9 makes a full-bodied, aromatic espresso and creates a beautiful crema. The controls are intuitive, and it's great that you can adjust the strength and volume yourself.
In short: the Jura C9 Piano Black is a beautiful fully automatic coffee machine that makes delicious coffee and excels especially in milk specialties. However, you do need to consider some additional maintenance and costs.

I've had the machine for a few weeks now and use it frequently. I drink a lot of coffee, from cappuccino and latte to regular black and espresso, and sometimes even a Cortado, and my girlfriend enjoys tea, and everything comes out of the machine effortlessly. What immediately struck me is that such an expensive machine doesn't even come with a milk jug, and the milk isn't really warm. The water tank isn't very large and is already quite full with the water filter. The machine doesn't even have Wi-Fi connectivity unless you buy a Wi-Fi module. This should be included as standard for this price. Many competitors do, which could influence the purchase.
Furthermore, the C9 is incredibly quiet during heating, grinding, and brewing. This is a real plus. The Jura C9's settings are easy to use, and you can adjust and save almost everything to your preference, including temperature, water volume, milk froth size, and strength.
However, I don't think much thought has gone into the machine's standard use. If you want to make a latte, a proper latte glass won't fit under the spout. The same goes for a larger mug or cup. The machine also doesn't indicate when the coffee beans are empty. In this respect, I think Jura is really lacking. The drip tray is also small and needs to be emptied frequently.
All things considered, after using it for a while, it's a great machine once you've set everything up correctly. You get delicious coffee and various variations at the touch of a button. The machine has some shortcomings and could certainly be improved (especially in terms of accessories), but for a delicious cup of coffee, it's definitely not a bad choice.
