Coffee tastes best served hot. A cold porcelain cup cools the beverage – and impairs the taste. JURA recommends prewarming the cups. A JURA Cup Warmer can be purchased from your specialized dealer.

Preparation with preselection (Aroma Selection and Specialty Selection)

With the Aroma Selection function [aroma selection symbol] on your J8 twin, you can change the coffee strength of any given product before preparing it. You can also choose which bean container is used to prepare a coffee and select additional settings:

Specialty SelectionMeaning
[double product icon] Double product (espresso, coffee)The product is prepared with two brewing operations (two strokes).
'S' – 'Sweet milk foam' (all specialty coffees with milk)Use the syrup attachment provided to prepare the product with sweet milk foam.
[extra shot icon] – 'Extra Shot' (all specialty coffees with milk except macchiato and cortado)The product is prepared with two brewing operations, with half the amount of water – for a specialty coffee with a particularly intense taste.
[ground coffee icon] Ground coffee (all specialty coffees except for espresso doppio)The product is prepared with ground coffee.

Not all settings are available for all products.

Example: Cappuccino with higher coffee strength

Precondition: Milk is connected to the professional fine foam frother.

Espresso and coffee

  • Place a cup under the professional fine foam frother.
  • Tap the 'Aroma Selection' symbol [aroma selection symbol] (bottom center).
  • Tap 'Cappuccino' (within 10 seconds).
  • Tap the setting control for the appropriate grinder (circle) to increase the coffee strength.

You can also select which grinder should be used (100% | 50% | 0%).

  • Touch 'Next'. 'Easy Mode' appears. In this mode, you can configure additional settings.
  • Tap the picture of the cappuccino (or 'Start'). Preparation starts. The cappuccino is prepared according to your chosen settings.

Example: Coffee

  • Tap 'Coffee'.
  • The preset amount of water for coffee flows into the cup.

Sweet Latte (prepared with syrup attachment)

The Sweet Latte is a specialty coffee with sweet milk foam. To make this specialty, use the syrup attachment provided.

All specialties with milk can also be prepared with sweet milk foam. To do this, use the syrup attachment provided and before starting preparation, select the Specialty Selection 'S'.

Precondition: Milk is connected to the professional fine foam frother.

  • Remove the cover from the syrup attachment.
  • Fill the syrup attachment with syrup. Fill it to the first, second or third mark depending on the desired sweetness.
  • Close the syrup attachment.
  • Tap 'Sweet Latte'.
  • 'Please remove the fine foam frother and connect the syrup attachment.'

Latte macchiato, cappuccino and other specialty coffees with milk

Your J8 twin prepares the following specialty coffees with milk at the touch of a button:

  • Cortado
  • Cappuccino
  • Café au lait
  • Macchiato
  • Flat White
  • Latte macchiato

Americano and lungo

For the americano and lungo, the J8 twin blends the coffee with hot water using a special preparation method. This results in a full-bodied specialty coffee which is particularly easy to digest. You can change the amount of this additional water (see chapter 4 ‘Preparation – Adjusting the product settings’).

Milk and milk foam

Your J8 twin prepares hot milk and milk foam. To do this, turn the setting wheel of the professional fine foam frother to the ‘Milk Foam' or ‘Milk' position.

8 minutes after preparation, the milk system is automatically rinsed. Therefore always place a receptacle under the professional fine foam frother after preparing milk.

To ensure that the professional fine foam frother always works properly, you must clean it daily when you have been preparing milk (see chapter 7 ‘Maintenance – Cleaning the milk system’).

Espresso doppio

‘Doppio’ is Italian for ‘double’. When you select Espresso doppio, two espressi are prepared one after the other. The result is an extra full-bodied and aromatic specialty coffee.

Ground coffee

You can choose to use a second coffee variety, for example decaffeinated coffee, with the filter funnel for ground coffee.

  • Never add more than two level measuring spoons of ground coffee.
  • Use ground coffee which is not ground too finely. Very fine coffee can block up the system so that the coffee only comes out in drips.
  • If you did not fill the machine with a sufficient amount of ground coffee, 'Not enough ground coffee' is displayed and the J8 twin stops the operation.
  • The desired specialty coffee must be prepared within approximately one minute after filling with the ground coffee. Otherwise the J8 twin stops the operation and is once more ready for use.

Example: Proceed as follows to prepare an espresso using ground coffee.

  • Place an espresso cup under the coffee spout.
  • Tap the 'Aroma Selection' symbol [aroma selection symbol] (bottom center).
  • Tap 'Espresso'.
  • Touch [check symbol].
  • Touch 'Next'.
  • Touch 'Start'.

'Please add ground coffee'

  • Open the powder chute cover.
  • Place the filler funnel for ground coffee on the powder chute.
  • Add the desired amount of ground coffee to the filler funnel (max. 2 level measuring spoons).

The amount of ground coffee determines the intensity and aroma of the beverage, so you can adjust it to your personal preferences.

  • Remove the filler funnel.
  • Close the cover.
  • Touch 'Next'.

The preset amount of water for espresso flows into the cup.

The powder chute and cover can be removed and also cleaned, if necessary.

Hot water

The J8 twin allows you to prepare different variants of hot water:

  • 'Hot water'
  • ‘Hot water for green tea' (Product must be added to the start screen. To do this, tap and hold any product for 2 seconds, then use the 'Replace product' function to select hot water for green tea.)

CAUTION: There is a danger of scalding from hot water splashes.

  • Avoid direct contact with the skin.

Example: Hot water

  • Place a cup under the hot-water spout.
  • Tap 'Hot water'.
  • The preset amount of water flows into the cup.

Adjusting the grinder

The grinder adjustment switches are used to adjust both grinders according to your preference for a mild or intense aroma.

Adjusting the product settings

Touch a product for approximately 2 seconds to access the settings:

  • Save permanent settings for preferred coffee strength and quantity, change the product name or preselect options such as ‘Sweet milk foam’, ‘Extra Shot’ or ‘Ground coffee’.
  • The 'Replace' symbol allows you to choose between 'Replace product' and 'Reposition the product’.

Depending on the selected product, there will be different settings available which are represented by symbols on your display.

The settings always follow the same model.

Example: Proceed as follows to change the quantity for one coffee.

  • Touch 'Coffee' for approximately 2 seconds.
  • Tap the symbol for fill volume [volume symbol].
  • Tap [arrow left] or [arrow right] to change the setting.

Descaling the machine

The J8 twin builds up deposits of limescale over time and automatically prompts you to descale it when necessary. The degree of calcification depends on the hardness of your water.

If you are using a CLEARYL Smart+ filter cartridge, you will not be prompted to descale.

WARNING: Non-recommended descaling agents (e.g. vinegar) may contain substances that could damage the machine or leave residues. Use only original JURA Descaling Tablets. These are formulated especially for your machine.

WARNING: Harmful and irritating descaling agent. Harmful if swallowed. Irritating to eyes and skin.

  • Keep children AWAY.
  • Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
  • Avoid generation of dust. Do not inhale dust.
  • After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. In case of skin irritation, seek medical advice.
  • After eye contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Remove contact lenses. Seek medical advice.
  • If swallowed, rinse mouth immediately and drink large quantities of water. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical advice immediately and show label.
