How to use the Jura S8 Super Automatic Espresso Machine.

[@eddieelfakir5189]

Getting my machine tomorrow, watching your video just made me even more excited.

[@PeaceChanel]

Thank You for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ ☮ ❤

[@Ayeayeaye614]

That demo was far and above the Jura demo. You're so clear , precise and informative. I love my S8 l bought it today for my birthday .it was at easier to programme my favourite coffee than l imagined. Thanks heaps. 😊

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Thanks for the positive feedback. Enjoy your machine and stay caffeinated! Ciao for now :)

[@BRUINSS]

Can you use distilled water without the filter? Those filters are not cheap 🤷

[@Mc-Taboo]

This is by far the best demo/review I've found on KZbin.. Thank you so much.

[@thechrisaverse]

Agreed. Such a concise presentation.

[@andycan09]

Nice, thank you for the thorough demo! As a 20 year Jura owner and daily user of their machines, I can't justify the now over priced $20 dollar Jura Smart water filters that likely have to be replaced at 2 month intervals ($120+ a year!). Also, seems like a load of work to get basic milk coffees. I can buy a Nespresso milk frother for $70 and froth enough milk to make plenty of coffees and clean up is a quick rinse in the sink. Either way you have to take the milk out of the fridge, but with this Jura you'll have a mandatory long cleaning procedure that requires (even more Jura rinsing additives $$$!!) and splashes everywhere on the machine and your countertop. WiFi seems a bit unnecessary if you have to be standing in front of your machine anyway to hook up milk or make sure a cup is under the spout. After our Impressa F7 gives up, I think we will go with another brand.

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hey there, Thanks for the comments and feedback. The Jura's in my opinion are top of the line. They have the largest brewing unit, allowing 16 grams of coffee to be ground and brewed per beverage, yielding in a bold and strong end result. You do not have to use the suggested water filters, but if you do not you will need to descale the machine when the unit tells you to. If you use the water filters, then you do not have to descale. So you can select one option of the two to move forward with. The milk frothers are very easy to use from my experience. The units come with a silicone milk tube, you can use your own vessel at home such as the litre of milk itself, or a mug to hold the milk. Jura does sell accessories, but these are not mandatory for usage or performance. The milk clean cycle can be done once per day at the end of the day. This takes a few minutes at the end of the day and will ensure the milk frother is cleaned for the next use and overall longevity. The wifi connection allows you to access the machine on the Jura J.O.E app on your smartphone (this is optional), from there you can take orders, view the maintenance on the unit, create new beverages, plus much more. Yes, you will need to place the cup under the machines coffee spouts, and top up the milk if needed for milk-based beverages. It would be nice if a machine could do all those things for us, right! But, for now, yes we need to ensure a cup is placed under the spouts and milk is available for milk-based beverages. You can also look into fully automatic machines that have a carafe as the milk frother. That might be something that suits your needs best for milk based beverages. Lots of machines are available. Feel free to reach out to one of our team members and we can assist in guiding you through some options! I hope you have a great day, thanks for the notes. Stay caffeinated! Ciao for now.

We love our jura s8. The biggest problem we had was after using it, we are coffee snobs. We tried to use a regular pot at our vacation home but simply hated every cup. We bought the exact s8 and living our best life with fantastic coffee. Beware, you'll never enjoy regular coffee again😂

[@katiebrock4469]

That was a GREAT demonstration!! Thank you!! :)

[@suecampbell4811]

Very informative - we've watched other videos that didn't talk about avoiding oily beans (standard info for coffeemakers, as we know, but its a GREAT reminder for enthused new customers). You also showed how easy it was to remove the whole water reservoir. What I wish you discussed is when you increase the cappuccino to have 5 oz of coffee and more milk, wouldn't you need a bigger glass? That would be good to discuss, especially because it looks like the platform is narrow. (Our S8 arrives tomorrow!!). Instead of making 1 cup of hot tea at a time, can we make a pot of tea? Would the tea leaves have to be in the pot and then run a ton of boiled water? What would you suggest - beyond using another appliance? Lastly, you MUST put something between the S8 and the fridge. Its very hard to see where one appliance ends and the other begins. It was SO MUCH EASIER to watch you demonstrate the machine when the fridge wasn't right behind the Jura. Thanks for all your help!!!

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi Sue, Thank you kindly for the feedback, I've taken notes to make some improvements in future videos. Much appreciated. The coffee spouts are adjustable from 6.5-11.1 cm and the milk spouts are adjustable from 10.7-15.3 cm. You can use a mug or glass that is maxed out at that height for your larger beverages. The drip tray width is 12 cm, behind the spout area the unit goes inwards, allowing for more room to accommodate a wider cup. Jura really has thought of everything! Have a great afternoon! Ciao for now.

[@S.Mejias]

Thank you for the informative video. Is there any way to remove beans from the machine without having to consume them? I bought some beans that I don't like and would like to empty the bean compartment.

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hello, Great question. There is no way to remove the bean's besides turning the machine on its side to empty it. Ensure you remove the water tank and drip tray before tilting the unit on its side to empty the beans. Many thanks.

[@eddieelfakir5189]

One last thing 😅 how can I get more foam in the coffee? Do I have to adjust the grinder ? My wife loves the foam that comes from the nespresso machine when drinking coffee

[@eddieelfakir5189]

I should be saying Creama, not Foam.

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Great question Eddie, the grinder setting plays a role here. The type of espresso beans play a large role too. Ensure you have beans that have some Robusta beans in there, it gives the coffee its kick and crema. Then the balance of Arabica beans allow for the smooth flavour and it ties together very well. Ciao!

[@eddieelfakir5189]

Should I leave the grinder knob somewhere in the center / middle ?

[@vickimcphail]

I am having yrouble with the set up of the cool milk jug, can you do a video on the calabrating please

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi Vicki, Thanks for reaching out. The cool milk container has an on/off button, the silicone milk tube gets connected and then you can simply press any milk based beverage within the main screen of the Jura espresso maker. The cool control will then automatically allow the milk to be pulled from there. Please connect with a Jura Tech for any next steps of set up if needed, their contact number is 1855-544-8600. Thanks!

[@eddieelfakir5189]

Your videos have been great help, does the Milk Cooler only keep the milk cold? Because if I just use the Jura glass container for the cold milk will the coffee machine still create that cold milk into steamed / Froth ? I’m new to all this 😐🤦🏼‍♂️

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi Eddie, great question. The machine will take in the cold milk and process it thru the frother to heat and texture it. The cool control is designed to be used on average for up to about 6 hours (great for entertaining). Its not meant to be plugged in 27/7. Thanks!

[@naumanshah5019]

can you make 12 oz coffee with this?

[@danachiu2714]

I couldn't really tell in the video...what is your grinder set at? The finest setting? Does it adjust the grind automatically if you'd select a coffee?

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hey there, great questions. The S8 does not auto adjust the grinder. The Z10 model does. The grinder is set to 3. Level 1 (finest is too fine). Thanks!

[@danachiu2714]

Thank you!

[@zorbakazam]

How does the coffee taste in Jura? is it better then Philips machines? what would you recommend Jura S8 Philips 5400 or something else?

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi there, Thanks for the questions. The full-size Jura models, such as the S8, E8, and E6 for example have the largest brew units. This means when you max out the strength setting, the machine will grind 16 grams of coffee, which then fits into the brew unit to process your beverage of choice. This yields an extra strong, bold, and full-bodied beverage. The Philips machine brew units are not as large and cannot accommodate 16 grams of coffee. Instead, its around approx. 10 - 12 grams. The taste of the coffee comes from the type of espresso bean you are using. The crema also comes from the bean you are using and the machines grinder settings. Great questions, thanks! Ciao for now.

[@donnabaratta5629]

Fantastic, thorough demo. Thank you so much for taking the time! Is the maximum size for coffee beverages 8oz? Will a coffee cup 4.25" in height fit? (My husband's favorite mug size.) Thank you again!!!

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi Donna, Thanks for the comments. The max cup height is 11 cm / 4.3". The max volume for coffee is 8 oz. Each beverage will have a varied max volume. I hope that helps. Ciao for now!

[@siyingkam]

Do you know if it’s normal to have water in the drip tray after making coffee, just got the machine and wondering why there’s so much water in the tray…thanks

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Yes! Water in the drip tray is normal and will always take place. You can also have a Jura tech confirm this by calling the tech support number (its usually near the water tank somewhere). Ciao for now!

[@eddieelfakir5189]

Looking forward to trying Consigilos espresso beans but can’t find anyone that ships to the U.S. only Canada. Any recommendations ?

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi Eddie, thanks for the question. We only sell them in Canada, we can't ship food into the USA. Thanks for understanding!

[@giles2583]

Any chance there is an E8 review in the works?

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi Giles, We will work on that in the coming weeks. Cheers!

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi Giles, I wanted to also add that the S8 makes the exact same beverages as the E8. The only difference is that the S8 offers a larger touch screen display, a heavier chromed plastic bean hopper lid and is made in Switzerland. The E8 is made in Portugal and offers a smaller push-button screen with a lighter plastic bean hopper lid. Both machines are excellent and the frothing system, brew unit, pump and boiler are identical. The beverage results on both are 100% identical. Here is a link to the E8 for some additional information - www.consiglioskitchenware.com/collections/jura-e8-espresso-machine Thanks!

[@BRUINSS]

Just wondering before I purchase the S8 can I use distilled water without the filter ? This way I can save on not buying filters 👍

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi Fabio, Jura recommends using the water filter. Using the smart water filter will allow you to not have to descale the machine. Distilled water is not recommended as it is very flat. Some minerals are beneficial and desired as they add to the over all flavour profile of the espresso. Here is a link to our Jura S8 models - www.consiglioskitchenware.com/collections/super-automatic-espresso-machines/brand_jura? Let us know if you have any other questions. Ciao for now.

[@yanafayman4235]

How often do I have to clean milk outlet? Thank you

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi Yana, you will clean the milk outlet once per day at the end of the day. The unit will inform you to either clean immediately or provide an option to clean later. Link to Jura - www.consiglioskitchenware.com/collections/super-automatic-espresso-machines/brand_jura? Ciao for now.

[@TheMitchie007]

Just a question... Does the S8 allow for wifi dongle connected which you buy separately or only the blue dongle that comes with the machine for Bluetooth only ???

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi there, The Jura S8 is compatible with the smart connect. Link to wifi connect - www.consiglioskitchenware.com/products/jura-wifi-connect Link to smart connect - www.consiglioskitchenware.com/products/jura-smart-connect-canada Ciao for now!

[@batyrenko]

If I drink only one milk drink per day, I still need to clean milk froather daily?

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi Andrii, Yes, you'll need to clean the milk frother daily. That is correct. Thanks!

[@robertmyers6141]

Product settings milk 0 to 60 seconds and interval setting for macchiato 0 to 60 seconds What are those and how do you set and use?

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi Robert, thanks for the questions. You can do a factory reset on your machine and that will cause the unit to go back to the original settings provided by Jura. I do not have the exact breakdown for the macchiato beverage. You can personalize the ration of coffee to milk to accommodate your preferences. Thanks for the Q, ciao for now.

[@ericwilliams576]

Does anyone know if the S8 is capable of brewing a second shot into milk-based drinks like the E8? On that machine, you press the "i" button to open a menu that allows you to brew milk-based drinks with a double-shot. I cannot figure out how to do the same on my S8. The manual shows that you 'swipe down' on the screen to open Speciality settings, but because it's not working on my unit... I wonder if I'm attempting to do it on the wrong screen. I've tried it on the "Drink carrousel" screen, on the home screen using the long--tap, etc... but all without success. I'd be most grateful if someone else knows the answer. Thanks!

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hey there Eric, Thanks for the question. The E8 has been revised recently and therefore has newer beverage settings and options. The S8 does not have an extra shot function as a one touch option. You can certainly brew a second shot into a latte for example as a two step method. To find the beverage settings on your S8, hold the beverage icon for a few seconds and it will lead you to the settings. Many thanks.

[@pdiddysea8599]

Super helpful!

[@JonathanTunstall-s7n]

Showed everything except what I need. So confused about how to refill the milk attachment. Super confusing!!!!!

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hey there, thanks for the notes. Sorry to hear that. Here are the steps to refill the cool control milk container. a) lift the lid of the cool control b) inside you'll see a stainless steel cylinder-like container c) add the milk to the stainless steel container e) place the lid back on For best froth and texture, 2 % regular milk is suggested. You can experiment with other types of milk too, keep in mind the fat and protein makeup will impact the froth and texture. Have a great day.

[@Potrek]

How add s8 to phone ?

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi there, You will need to purchase an additional accessory such as the 'smart connect'. From there, you'll then plug it into the socket on the machine, then you will download the Jura J.O.E app on your smart phone and follow the prompts. Ciao for now.

[@cherylfinn6548]

I just watched your video and it was far and above what I expected. I am definitely underusing my machine. I tried to order your coffee mentioned but couldn’t. Apparently you no longer make it.

I bought this and feel like it has potential but cannot find the right taste. It always seems bitter. Quite disappointing. With 3 bean or 4 bean strength and medium grind, always bitter. Does anyone have an ideal setting they would like to share? :) I use Illy espresso beans. By the way, these s8 machines are made in Portugal.

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi Bill, The taste of the coffee does come from the espresso bean used. If it is bitter thats a result of the bean being used. Here is a link to tasty locally roasted beans - www.consiglioskitchenware.com/collections/fresh-roast-espresso The Super Crema blend is delicious and great for milk-based beverages too.
