Jura E8 or Siemens EQ.500 iAroma?

What actually differs between the Jura E8 and the Siemens EQ.500 iAroma, and what that means for who you are.

What differs

  • The EQ.500 iAroma is €564.00 cheaper.
  • Both are the same kind of machine, a bean-to-cup, so they work the same way.
  • Both have a built-in grinder, so you do not need to buy one.
  • Milk works the same on both: with a tube into a carton or container.
  • Cleaning the E8's milk system: A rinse after every milk drink, a clean with Jura milk cleaner on every day you use milk, and the tube and spout replaced about every 3 months.
  • Cleaning the EQ.500 iAroma's milk system: an automatic burst of steam after every milk drink, and the outlet taken apart regularly, by hand or in the dishwasher.
