JURA S8 Black Espresso Machine
JURA S8 Overview
The JURA S8 super-automatic machine is the first of its class, combining the best qualities of JURA’s compact machines with the advantages of their more premium models, and reminding us of the wonders of Swiss design.
Features and Performance
First and foremost of the S8’s upgrades is the integrated 4.3” high-resolution color touchscreen display, complete with graphics and animations at every step of preparation. We don’t think it’s ever been easier to navigate and program a drink as it is on the S8.
Altogether, a full range of 15 specialties are available on the S8, including: ristretto, espresso, coffee, cappuccino, caffè latte, espresso macchiato, and flat white. You can also select a portion of milk foam, a portion of milk, hot water, or lower-temp hot water for green tea, which we think is an excellent and thoughtful addition that rounds out this already amazing machine. In a word, it slays.
JURA has also upgraded the Fine Foam Frother on the S8, eschewing the old dial for a much sturdier switch, which allows you to easily adjust milk density for different drinks before, or during, brewing. A true innovation, the JURA S8 has us swooning.
To use the S8, simply touch and hold the desired drink for a few seconds, and you will be treated to a bevy of easily adjustable options and settings. Adjust temperature in three settings, strength in ten, drink volume, and add a special name to complete your custom drink. You can also set your custom drink to brew double the the selected specialty, create a duplicate custom drink to adjust separately, replace or remove a product from the start screen.
The precise, high-speed Aroma G3 grinder, integrated pre-infusion and pulse brewing system, make for delicious drinks; and the machines pre-programmed rinses and maintenance alerts make for a high-functioning machine for years to come.

We drink coffee and espresso and milk drinks; our first super automatic; did tons of homework. Bottom line: We are thrilled! Though there are some basic (non-coffee) design flaws.
THINGS I WAS WORRIED ABOUT
1. Coffee is definitely hot! No need to worry. Don’t know why anyone had concerns about this.
2. Touch screen is problematic;Read more about review stating A few weeks in, here’s my take but not really relevant after set up and once you figure it out. This is both the user interface design and the actual hardware. Still better than the E8 IMHO.
3. Blue Tooth adapter doesn’t have enough functionality to make it worthwhile and you have to be next to the machine – – so…why?
4. Cleaning process is a process but not a big deal – and makes me feel like this machine will last and is hygienic, especially milk parts.
5. Platform for milk drinks is small, another basic bad design feature, our cups fit, but I’m nervous they will tip – this is the main thing that still bothers me a couple weeks in. I don’t think most people will mind.
Bottom line – – LOVE IT – – great functionality; great customization; great coffee; super flexible; worth the upgrade from the E8 (to us); and the team at HARFAN COFFEE were phenomenal all the way through!

We recently made the switch from Nespresso to eliminate the use of pods that we don’t recycle… We are able to put cleaner coffee in this machine and it is absolutely brilliant. Best thing about our mornings is using this machine. Easy and so simple to maintain. Coffee is beyond delicious!
