I have a non-milk Jura. It is called the micro 5. I have had it for 4 or 5 years and easily 5 shots per day. Having a foaming wand with milk will make things messy and not turn key. Milk calcifies and the stuff will eventually get into the steam valves etc. I see this at work where we have had Jura and other milk steaming machines. My MO if I want a latte is to warm up the milk in the microwave and then put it under the micro 5 for a double shot. If I want to get fancy, I can whip the milk coming from the microwave with one of those high speed battery operated stirs. I really could care less about the foam. I mix it up, I like a latte in the morning, I do a long double shot (just a large cup of coffee) mid day and evenings after dinner I usually have a double shot of espresso.
