JURA E8 Piano Black (EB)

The JURA E8 Moonlight Silver (EB) is carefully packed. An elegant color and sleek design emerged. Connecting was quick. The JURA does need some space, but the size is not disturbing. What a joy to be able to choose from so many coffee specialties! The amount of coffee and milk are easy to adjust, really something for everyone! The buttons are easy to operate and for me personally it is a plus that this JURA does not have a touchscreen. A separate reservoir for ground coffee means that a decaf (specialty) can also be made in no time! Due to this separation, a decaf is really caffeine free and there is no mixing with the caffeine beans. Plenty of options, but in the end it's all about the taste! This already starts well with the wonderful aroma that the JURA gives. This is followed by an overwhelming taste sensation, that's how coffee should taste! The milk specialties are addictively tasty and at a drinkable temperature. However, a milk jug is not present, this would have made the device complete. Maintenance and cleaning is easy, the JURA itself indicates what is needed. However, cleaning the milk tube is not standard after brewing a milk specialty. This could further increase the ease of use. In short, a very nice espresso machine with many possibilities and an overwhelming coffee taste!

put into use. The coffee machine was unpacked in no time and ready for the first cup of coffee. The supplied manual was in German, but luckily the Dutch version of the JURA E8 Moonlight Silver (EB) was on the Jura site. Everything is self-explanatory and in no time we were able to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee. Ease of use. The coffee machine is very easy to operate. The coffee options are immediately visible on a relatively large screen. With well-designed push buttons it is easy to determine your choice. The lack of a touchscreen control is absolutely not a loss. After a while, the 2 most frequently selected coffee specialties will be shown on the screen. With the Jura Smart Connect, you can operate the Jura coffee machine via Bluetooth with your smartphone or tablet. Unfortunately, this part was not included in the test equipment of the device, so unfortunately I can not say anything about the operation and the advantages and disadvantages of this functionality Serviceability. The device relieves you of all the worries about maintenance. The rinsing and cleaning programs ensure that your device remains optimally clean. In the beginning I thought that the brew group also had to be removed in order to be able to clean it properly, but I have become convinced that this is not necessary due to the rinsing and cleaning programs of this device. Professional rinsing and cleaning convinced me. A small disadvantage of all these programs is that you often have to top up your 2 liter water reservoir with water. According to the manual, the E8 requires cleaning after 180 preparations or 80 switch-on rinses. Indeed, the cockpit indicated that the device is close to being cleaned. Of course I also wanted to perform this test, so with the supplied cleaning tablet, the cleaning was done neatly in about 15 minutes. I can also only be positive about cleaning; fast, easy and professional. design. The JURA E8 Moonlight Silver (EB) is an absolute asset to your kitchen. The E8 is a sleek, beautiful example due to the modern design. There is absolutely nothing to disturb you when brewing a great cup of coffee. The water holder can be removed very easily and hardly any extra space is needed above the coffee machine. As a result, the E8 also fits in a kitchen where the space to the upper cabinets is limited. The coffee is quite easy to add by removing a valve. Everything is right about this device with a small exception of the cup tray. We have been using the E8 for about 2 weeks now and there are already some scratches on the cup tray. In my opinion, this could have been of slightly better quality. Quality of the coffee. You can already smell the delicious aroma of the coffee when you brew the first cup of coffee. Of course we opted for a quality coffee bean, but then you really taste the coffee that I am used to drinking as if I were sitting on a terrace in Rome. In a word, very tasty! The coffee preparation is also nicely concluded with a “please” on the screen. 17 different coffee specialties. An unprecedented number of coffee specialties with the corresponding adjustment options such as amount of coffee, temperature and strength. Nice that this can also be set per specialty. We have put the coffee on the highest temperature setting and it must be said that it is a perfect cup of coffee. The latte macchiato is also made in no time. You can see the characteristic layers of a latte macchiato nicely formed and with the right coffee this is an absolute pleasure to drink. I did, however, slightly lower the times in which the milk separates from the milk foam to prevent the latte macchiato from not being warm enough to drink.

The first cup of coffee tasted fantastic without having to adjust the settings right away. Many different types of coffee can be clearly selected using the color screen. I drink quite a few espressos a day, I really like the way the Jura brews the product. Nice that 2 espressos or other types of coffee can be made at the same time. Grinding beans does not make much noise and is fast. I think the device itself looks very nice, really a jewel for the kitchen worktop. The only drawback is that a German manual with some English is included and you have to download a Dutch one.
