What Makes This Coffee Machine Special?

This is the world’s first coffee maker with a one-touch Americano function. The machine is easily controlled with a 4.3” high-resolution touchscreen display. Saying goodbye to button controls automatically opens doors to a wide range of options. This machine can also be controlled through the Jura Coffee App (free of charge).

Our team found other unrivaled features like the extremely fast AromaG3 grinder. It grinds quicker than previous versions without compromising any of the aromas from the coffee beans. The Pulse Extraction Process (PEP) isn’t new to us since it’s Jura’s signature feature but pairing this with the grinder was just the icing on the cake.

Finally, the fine foam technology function allowed us to create milk foam for milk-based beverages like cappuccinos or lattes. The touchscreen display offers graphics that walk you through the java brewing process from top to bottom. Very easy to use, we are sure you’ll enjoy this intuitive machine as much as we do.

Why Should I Buy The Jura Z8?

The real question is, “Why shouldn’t you buy the Jura Z8?”. Not only does it produce great coffee, but it also brews it fast. You can even program your favorite drinks to make them the next day with the touch of a button. And since it automatically switches settings from milk to milk foam, you won’t ever have to think about the settings. Simply select the specialty drink you want and let it work its magic.

Moreover, we were also impressed by how quiet the Z8 is. The grinder is twice as fast as conventional grinders and makes half as much noise. And, if your hopper is ever low on beans, the active bean monitoring will warn you.

The last benefit we can’t leave without sharing is how easy this device is to clean. It’s designed with integrated rinsing and cleaning. Even the milk system has its own cleaning program and automatic milk rinse. This meant there was little for us to do! And because water, beans, and drip tray levels are always monitored, we still had complete awareness of our machine’s status.

Our Verdict

The only thing our team couldn’t agree on was what our favorite part of this machine was. Everything from its intelligent design to grinding capabilities is worth noting. This is one of the more advanced and reliable coffee makers we’d had the pleasure of trying, and we plan to give it a permanent place in our break room!
