Jura is a Swiss company that sells quality coffee machines in over 40 countries. Jura has been a leader in the coffee industry for a while now, and since we’ve seen nothing but quality from Jura, we were excited to test the Jura S8 Espresso Coffee Maker.
The first thing we noticed was that, unlike most Jura machines, this one has zero buttons. Instead, it’s completely controlled using a touchscreen display. The high-resolution colors and sleek design of this machine immediately received a 5-star rating in the looks department. However, we all know that looks only go so far.
Is the S8 Coffee Machine worth getting excited about? Our team recently tried, tested, and reviewed this versatile appliance. Read on to learn if it’s right for you!
The Jura S8 is for anyone looking for simplicity. Its one-touch technology is a recurring theme in Jura appliances and the S8 is no exception! However, a big difference is that this machine is operated through a high-resolution touchscreen display as opposed to buttons.
Extremely easy to operate, users will be able to craft their java drink with the user-friendly menu. In addition, graphics appear on the touchscreen throughout each step of the process. This means you’ll have complete control over how your coffee is being made.
We also noticed this machine offers 8 programmable options, making it quick and effortless to brew the perfect espresso, macchiato, or ristretto.
There are a few things that make this coffee machine worth buying. We’ve already gone through its innovative touch screen display that illustrates each step in the brewing process. Here are some other points worth mentioning:
Let’s start with the obvious. Jura is known for its innovative technologies. The Jura S8 includes:
The Jura S8 is a powerful 15-bar machine with an integrated conical burr grinder. Our team had the option of programming our drinks and controlling everything from serving size to the strength of our coffee.
In addition, the large 10-ounce bean hopper is designed with an air-tight aroma cover to prevent any of those tempting smells from escaping. And, if you ever want to try your own pre-ground coffee, you’ll be able to, thanks to the automatic funnel system.
Moreover, we liked to have the option to choose between three temperatures of hot water. One is great for hot tea, the other for drinks like a café Americano, or simply cup warming. And because of the 1450 watt stainless steel boiler, heating times were fast.
If you don’t fall in love with the S8 at first sight, we know you will after trying it. With one-touch brewing, you’ll be able to prepare 15 specialty drinks whenever the craving strikes. Try it for yourself today!
