In this video well be replacing my Jura S9 Impressa classic which I've restored and shipped to my mother with a new S8 series. We will kick off with an unboxing and setup. The video will then continue four months later, after I've used the machine satisfactorily and can fully understand its operation and evaluate it.
After four months operations, customization and various maintenance is conducted, as well as a critique of some issues and annoyances.

I’ve had mine for almost 4 years, purchased in Europe. I liked it so much I brought it back to the US, purchased a voltage converter. I moved back to europe AND brought this machine back in it own luggage (🤣), friends thought I was crazy, but told them this makes the best coffee hands down. I’ve had zero issues and use it multiple times a day. Best coffee ever! 😊

I’ve watched several videos on this machine and hands down yours was the best. That is pretty stupid how small the tray is to set a big latte mug on. Thanks for a great video

I’ve had mine 2 years now and we really are in love with it. The drawback is the milk froth is sub par. To the point of we don’t drink milk drinks anymore but the coffee drinks are A+

So, I'm a former NYer and just freaken LOVED hearing a voice from home! We ordered the S8 last night and expect delivery in 5 sub-par coffee days (our Breville burr grinder is breaking so the coffeemaker is making tan water - ugh). Thanks for walking me through the set up, etc. Lavazza is good coffee, as is Julius Meinl Prasidente, but I still prefer La Colombe Monaco or Sumatra beans (via subscription - roasted in PA and shipped). OMG, as I drink this swamp water, early in the morning with the house still asleep, I am PINING for a cuppa anything made with the S8! Subscribed!

Funny thing. We found the whole bean coffee from BJ’s to be awfully close to lavazza

I got mine second hand near new condition , it was purchased with all these extras, and then the people moved and their new home came with built in coffee machine and so they put their Jura up for sale and I was able to upgrade my 14 year old entry level Jura to the Jura s8 and I love it 🖤☕️ but could justify for me to buy at new for 3000 au dollars but 1400 au was more like it

Cleaning is super simple. I recommend at night leaving the tray out about 2-3 inches so it can air out. I heard others say it gets humid and builds up coffee and possibly mold. I have no issues like that.

@Platoface Жыл бұрын

I took out the grind guard. I push them down each night when I clean it for the next day.

@dandenno900 Жыл бұрын

Tell me I'm wrong. But this looks like a pain to continue maintaining for someone who wants a great latte while at home? This is the second video I've seen that the time and effort to clean is almost as long as it is to make the coffee, if not more.

Have you tried the ground coffee feature. I just got my S8 yesterday and love the expresso. The wife wanted decaf expresso so I used the ground coffee feature twice and noticed a large amount of dry ground coffee way back at the end of the tray of my machine. Am I doing something wrong or is there a part missing ? Thoughts ? BTW, awesome video. You covered everything the manual appeared to be short on.

I just got a Jura S8 and am wondering the same question...did you ever figure it out? I have a Capresso Infinity Burr Conical grinder (not the best for espresso I've found out), and it has 16 grind settings from extra fine (which I numbered as #1), fine, medium, and coarse (#16). Manual says not to use too fine a ground...any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. Happy New Year!

@danachiu2714 6 ай бұрын

Thanks, Hondapilot! I’ve been experimenting and after grinding decaf, I weigh it and put 16g in bypass doser and after espresso is made, I observe puck and it’s consistency and remove drip tray to see how much if any ground coffee falls in the back…once I decide on a setting I’ll let you know…for now we have S8 set on third from finest setting…

@hondapilot 5 ай бұрын

@@danachiu2714 I ultimately found by trial and error that if I poured 2 scoops of my ground coffee in the chute slowly using the provided scoop, it worked. If I dumped the coffee into the chute fast, it did not end well. It's pretty similar to what you ended doing. Thanks for the tip !

@BRUINSS Жыл бұрын

love the video I was looking to purchase this machine here in Canada it's roughly $3,000 that's expensive for an espresso machine but you get what you pay for hopefully... I will be using distilled water so I'm guessing there's no need for that water filter that supplied... it just seems like it's very expensive to maintain this machine with all these tablets and milk frother cleaner but it is one beautiful machine 👍... I was just wondering how hot is that milk that comes out for a cappuccino?

@retrotechandelectronics Жыл бұрын

I use zero water the brand of filtration. Short of that, demineralized water. I Believe distilled maybe over the top. All of the temperatures are correct and set in the options. I have another video coming out on the cleaning supplies and costs.

@FrederikCuperjaniFrederik Жыл бұрын

1. How often you perform milk cleaning system? Is really necessary to perform this procedure every day after using milk? Package is declared for 60 milk cleaning? 2. I have very good home water filtering system. I will not use this S8 water filter?

@retrotechandelectronics Жыл бұрын

I only use the milk cleaning once per day, not after every drink. Ill check the video I wouldn't imagine I would have said after every single use. I have a zero water water filter , thats zero hardness, since a tester confirms this I can set it with confidence. you should purchase a cheap hardness tester.

@Platoface Жыл бұрын

My S8 uses the pill to clean it and is rather easy to do. About every 45 days. The filters are a killer though. They last one month which I think is a rip off.

@@DH-qz2so that is what I am going to do. I have paid $360 for filters over 3 years and really am tired of "renting" my S8. But would I still buy it again after almost 3 years? Hell yes, the best coffee ever. Bought the coffee cup warmer. The timer for that thing is just awful though and when power goes off you have to reset it.
