• Beverage Selection: From the home screen, tap on the icon for your desired specialty, such as Espresso, Coffee, Cappuccino, Flat White, or Latte Macchiato. The machine offers 15 programmable specialties.
• Customization: Before preparation, you can adjust settings like coffee strength, water volume, and milk foam quantity directly on the touchscreen. These settings can often be saved as personal preferences.
• Milk System: For milk-based beverages, ensure the milk pipe is correctly connected to the milk spout and immersed in a container of cold milk. The machine will guide you through the preparation process.
• Pre-ground Coffee: If using pre-ground coffee, open the filler funnel for pre-ground coffee, add one level scoop, and then select your desired beverage. Note that only one portion of pre-ground coffee can be used at a time.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your Jura S8 machine.

• Daily Milk System Cleaning: After preparing milk-based beverages, the machine will prompt you to clean the milk system. Follow the on-screen instructions using the Jura milk system cleaner. This prevents blockages and maintains hygiene.
• Coffee System Cleaning: The machine will indicate when a coffee system cleaning is required. Use Jura cleaning tablets and follow the guided process on the display. This removes coffee oil residues from the brewing unit.
• Water Filter Replacement: The CLARIS Smart filter needs to be replaced approximately every 1-2 months, or as indicated by the machine, depending on water usage. The machine will prompt you when a replacement is due.
• Descaling: If you operate the machine without a CLARIS Smart filter, descaling will be necessary. The machine will prompt you when descaling is required. Use Jura descaling tablets and follow the instructions.
• Emptying Drip Tray and Coffee Grounds Container: The machine will prompt you to empty these components when full. Remove, empty, rinse, and reinsert them.
• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Jura S8 machine.

• "Insert filter" message persists: If the machine does not recognize a new CLARIS Smart filter, ensure it is correctly inserted and fully clicked into place. The machine uses RFID technology to detect the filter. If the issue persists, try removing and reinserting the filter, or contact customer support.
• Touchscreen Unresponsive: Ensure the screen is clean and dry. If unresponsive, try restarting the machine by turning it off and on using the main power switch.
• No Coffee Dispensed: Check if the water tank is filled and correctly seated. Ensure the bean container has enough beans. Verify that no error messages are displayed.
• Milk Not Frothing Correctly: Ensure the milk pipe is clean and properly connected. Use fresh, cold milk. Perform a milk system cleaning if prompted or if frothing quality deteriorates.
• Error Messages: If an error message appears on the display, consult the machine's on-screen help or refer to the full Jura S8 manual for specific error codes and solutions.
