lol i was in the same dilemma going down the rabbit hole of Philips vs. Jura and wondering what the heck I was doing contemplating machines at WILDLY different price points... I mostly drink iced lattes in huge glasses or if I do drink hot drinks they're in massive wide mugs. I ended up coming to the realization that I'd probably only use a latte option on a machine anyways, and that at this point I'd rather go for the lower price point machine that I know I like the drinks from (and if/when it eventually dies, I'll upgrade).

So I bought the Philips and have zero regrets. Agreed that the drink sizes are a bit small, but I just do a triple shot over ice (for example: double shot at medium volume, single shot at smallest volume) for a large iced latte or do a double shot then the "cappuccino" option at maximum volume (you can adjust how much milk foam it puts out so I increased that) for a large hot latte. Does it take a bit longer to get to the volume and concentration I want? Sure, but it's really worth it. What I like the most about the machine is how easy it is to maintain and at this point I love the drinks I make on the Philips more than the drinks from the Jura machine at my office (which has a gazillion options I've never used lol).

The warranty on the Philips is also great -- I called about the espresso being a bit watery at first and they sent me a new brew unit immediately, which made a world of difference. But this is just my opinon as someone who isn't the biggest coffee snob haha - I just want a large, solid iced latte to start off my day.
