Jura E8 Automatic Coffee Machine
The Jura E8 represents the latest generation of Jura's best-selling automatic coffee machine, bringing functionality previously exclusive to premium models to the mid-range category. The machine prepares 17 different speciality drinks, from classic espresso to on-trend cortado, flat white, and latte macchiato. The new fluid system delivers professional barista-quality long and mild drinks including caffè Barista and lungo Barista, addressing the growing preference for these lighter coffee styles.
The Fine Foam technology with removable milk carafe creates professional-quality microfoam for milk-based specialities, whilst automatic milk system cleaning at the touch of a button - a feature previously found only in Jura's top-line machines - simplifies daily maintenance. The Extra Shot function enhances cappuccinos, flat whites, and latte macchiatos with an additional espresso extraction for bolder flavour, perfect for those who prefer stronger milk drinks.
The Professional Aroma Grinder ensures consistent grinding for optimal extraction, whilst the Pulse Extraction Process (P.E.P.) optimises brewing time for short specialities. The 2.8-inch TFT colour display provides clear visual guidance through operation and maintenance, and optional WiFi Connect enables J.O.E. app compatibility for smartphone control and personalisation. The 1.9-litre water tank and 280g bean hopper support 15-30 cups daily, suiting busy households and frequent entertaining.

What Customers Ask About Jura E8
What makes the E8 different from the E6?
The E8 offers 17 speciality drinks compared to the E6's more limited selection, including flat white, latte macchiato, cortado, and barista-quality lungo variations not available on the E6. The E8 features automatic milk system cleaning (press-button operation), whilst the E6 requires more manual cleaning intervention. The E8 includes the Extra Shot function for bolder milk drinks. For households wanting drink variety and simplified milk system maintenance, the E8 provides significant functional advantages over the E6.
How does the Extra Shot function work?
The Extra Shot function adds a second espresso extraction to milk-based drinks like cappuccino, flat white, and latte macchiato. This creates a stronger coffee flavour that stands up better to the milk, whilst maintaining the same milk foam quality and volume. It's designed for those who find standard milk drinks too mild or who prefer the coffee flavour to be more prominent. You can select Extra Shot versions from the menu for supported drinks.
What are caffè Barista and lungo Barista?
These are long, mild coffee specialities prepared using the new fluid system. Caffè Barista and lungo Barista deliver professional barista-quality results for lighter coffee styles that have become increasingly popular. They're longer and milder than traditional espresso or coffee, with smooth, balanced flavour profiles. The E8's advanced brewing technology ensures these drinks achieve the quality you'd expect from a skilled barista.
How does automatic milk system cleaning work?
Unlike machines requiring manual disassembly and cleaning of milk components, the E8 features one-touch automatic milk system cleaning. Press the button and the machine runs an automated cleaning cycle through the milk system, flushing away milk residue. This technology was previously exclusive to Jura's premium models. You still need to remove the milk carafe for storage in the refrigerator, but the actual cleaning process is significantly simpler than manual methods.
Do I need the optional WiFi Connect for J.O.E. app?
The E8 requires the optional WiFi Connect adapter to enable J.O.E. app functionality. Without this adapter, the machine operates perfectly using the front-panel controls and 2.8-inch display. The WiFi Connect and J.O.E. app add smartphone control, remote drink preparation, personalisation features, and convenient guest ordering. If these features matter to you, budget for the WiFi Connect adapter as a separate purchase.
What We've Learned About Coffee Machines Since 1972
In our 52 years helping customers select coffee equipment, we've observed that the E8 occupies a particularly important position in Jura's range. It brings premium features - automatic milk system cleaning, extensive drink variety, Extra Shot functionality - down to a more accessible price point. This democratisation of advanced features matters because milk system maintenance has historically been the most time-consuming aspect of automatic coffee machine ownership.
The E8's 17-drink repertoire addresses a reality we've seen in households: different people want different drinks. One person prefers flat white, another wants latte macchiato, a third drinks only espresso. Machines with limited drink options force compromise. The E8's extensive selection means most households find all their preferred drinks available without anyone settling for second choice.
The Extra Shot function solves a specific problem we've heard repeatedly: milk drinks where the coffee flavour gets lost. Some people add an extra shot manually by running espresso separately, which is inconvenient. The E8 automates this, delivering properly balanced stronger milk drinks at button press. This seemingly simple feature significantly improves satisfaction for those who prefer bolder milk-based specialities.
We've learned that 15-30 cups daily represents realistic usage for busy households with 3-5 coffee drinkers, or for those who entertain regularly. This capacity rating isn't arbitrary - it reflects engineering parameters around component wear, water tank practicality, and maintenance frequency. Exceeding these limits consistently leads to accelerated wear and more frequent servicing requirements.
Specifications
Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Remove all packaging and protective films. Rinse the water tank and fill with fresh cold water. Fill the bean hopper with fresh coffee beans - avoid oily or caramelised beans which can affect the grinder. Rinse the removable milk carafe. The machine will guide you through initial setup including system priming. Follow on-screen instructions during first-time setup.
Daily use: Use fresh, cold water in the tank and replace daily even if not fully used. The Professional Aroma Grinder automatically grinds beans for each drink, ensuring optimal consistency. Select your desired drink from the 17 available options using the 2.8-inch TFT colour display. The clear interface makes operation straightforward even with the extensive drink menu.
Using the Extra Shot function: For cappuccino, flat white, or latte macchiato, select the Extra Shot version from the menu if you prefer stronger coffee flavour. The machine automatically performs two espresso extractions before adding milk foam, creating a bolder drink whilst maintaining perfect foam quality. This function is designed for those who find standard milk drinks too mild.
Milk system use: Fill the removable milk carafe with fresh cold milk before preparing milk-based drinks. After use, the automatic milk system cleaning function simplifies maintenance - press the button and the machine runs an automated cleaning cycle. This press-button cleaning represents a significant maintenance advantage over machines requiring manual disassembly. Remove the milk carafe and store it in the refrigerator between uses.
Automatic milk system cleaning: After preparing milk drinks, activate the automatic cleaning cycle by pressing the designated button. The machine flushes the milk system, removing residue without requiring manual disassembly. This feature, previously exclusive to premium models, significantly reduces the time and effort required for milk system maintenance. Thorough cleaning at regular intervals is still recommended following machine prompts.
J.O.E. app features (with optional WiFi Connect): If you've purchased the optional WiFi Connect adapter, download the J.O.E. app for smartphone control. Prepare drinks remotely, create personalised drink profiles with customised strength and temperature, and enable guests to send orders directly to the machine from their phones. This is particularly convenient when entertaining.
Automatic maintenance programmes: The E8 prompts you when cleaning or descaling is required. Follow the on-screen instructions displayed on the 2.8-inch TFT display, which provides clear visual guidance through each maintenance process. Use Jura-approved cleaning tablets and descaling solution to protect components and maintain warranty coverage.
Water filter: Jura recommends using the Claris water filter to protect internal components from limescale buildup. Replace the filter as prompted by the machine. Using filtered water extends machine life and reduces descaling frequency, particularly important in hard water areas.
What to avoid: Don't use oily, caramelised, or flavoured beans which can damage the grinder. Don't use milk alternatives with added sugars in the milk system. Don't ignore maintenance prompts. Don't use non-Jura cleaning products which may void warranty. Don't leave milk in the carafe or system between uses - always clean after milk-based drinks and refrigerate the carafe.
Storage: If not using the machine for several days, empty the water tank, clean the milk system thoroughly, and run a final rinse cycle. Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Ensure the removable milk carafe is cleaned and stored separately in the refrigerator or clean and dry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I've used it and don't like it?
Return it anyway. Our no quibble guarantee covers used items - if it doesn't do what you wanted, we'll refund you. This applies even after you've used the E8 to prepare coffee. We've offered this guarantee since 1972 because customers shouldn't take risks when purchasing premium coffee equipment.
How does the Half-Price Replacement guarantee work?
Valid for 2 years from purchase date. If you accidentally damage the E8, we'll replace it at half the current retail price with proof of purchase and evidence of damage. Photos are acceptable. This covers accidental damage beyond what manufacturer warranty provides.
How long does delivery take?
Jura coffee machines are sent using Standard Delivery only, which can take up to 7 working days but is usually 3-4 days. Saturday and next-day delivery options are not available for Jura machines. Standard delivery is free for orders over £49. You can also collect from our shops in Cobham or Reigate, or our warehouse in Redhill.
What's included with the E8?
The E8 includes the machine, water tank, bean hopper, removable milk carafe, drip tray, and initial setup accessories. You'll need to purchase coffee beans, and we recommend Jura cleaning tablets and descaling solution for maintenance. The Claris water filter is recommended but typically sold separately. The WiFi Connect adapter for J.O.E. app functionality is also sold separately. Contact us to confirm what's included with current stock.
Is the WiFi Connect adapter worth buying?
The WiFi Connect adapter enables J.O.E. app functionality: smartphone control, remote drink preparation, personalised profiles, and guest ordering from phones. If you entertain frequently, want smartphone convenience, or enjoy customising drink parameters, the WiFi Connect adds significant value. If you're comfortable using the front-panel controls and don't need smartphone features, the machine operates excellently without it. Consider your usage patterns and preferences when deciding.
How does this compare to the Jura Z10?
The Z10 offers cold brew capability through the Cold Extraction Process and Product Recognising Grinder, features not available on the E8. The Z10 also has a larger touchscreen, higher daily capacity (30-60 vs 15-30 cups), and additional speciality drinks. The E8 provides excellent value with 17 drinks, automatic milk cleaning, and the Extra Shot function at a lower price point. If cold brew matters or you need higher capacity, investigate the Z10. For most households wanting extensive hot drink variety, the E8 delivers outstanding performance.
Can I use non-dairy milk alternatives?
The Fine Foam system works with dairy milk and many milk alternatives including oat, soy, and almond milk. Frothing performance varies by brand and formulation - milk alternatives specifically designed for barista use typically froth better. Avoid milk alternatives with added sugars which can cause buildup. The automatic cleaning function works with all milk types, but thorough cleaning is particularly important with milk alternatives to prevent residue accumulation.
Which colour should I choose?
Piano Black, White, and Dark Inox all offer identical functionality and specifications. Choose based on your kitchen aesthetic and which finish complements your existing appliances. Piano Black provides a sleek, modern look. White offers a clean, contemporary appearance. Dark Inox delivers a sophisticated brushed metal finish. Contact us to confirm which colours we currently have in stock.
Is the E8 suitable for a small office?
The E8's 15-30 cups daily capacity suits small offices with 5-7 people or home office environments. The extensive drink variety accommodates different preferences without requiring multiple machines. The automatic milk system cleaning simplifies office maintenance compared to machines requiring manual cleaning. For larger offices with higher consumption, consider models with greater capacity. Ensure someone is designated for daily maintenance to keep it operating optimally.
How does Jura warranty work?
Jura machines come with manufacturer warranty (typically 2 years for home use - confirm details at time of purchase). This covers manufacturing defects and component failures under normal use. Our Half-Price Replacement guarantee provides additional protection beyond manufacturer warranty. Register your machine with Jura after purchase to activate warranty coverage and maintain records of any maintenance performed.
