When the A8 drops

Espresso machines drop hardest around Black Friday and in the weeks before Christmas. Leave your email address and pick below what you want to hear about.

The A8 is Jura’s narrow bean-to-cup: 19 cm wide by Jura’s figures, where the E line measures 27 cm. It makes 18 drinks, Light Brew versions included, with milk through a tube.

The narrow format costs capacity. The hopper holds 140 grams and the grounds container 8 portions, against 280 grams and 16 portions on the E8. If you make a lot of cups a day, you fill and empty this one more often.

Who for: A narrow spot on the worktop, with milk.

This is what we know for certain. Dimensions and capacities the manufacturer or the shop does not state are left out rather than estimated. A measurement or a tank volume that is not there is one we do not have.

What does it cost a year to maintain?

A worked example, not a specification: 2 cups a day (730 a year), the intervals from the maker's manual, with the water filter the maker recommends, and the lowest price in our catalog today.

Cleaning tablets · about 4 a year: Not in our catalog; Jura: a cleaning tablet after 180 cups. Jura requires its own tablets, which our catalog does not carry.
Milk cleaner · 365 a year: Not in our catalog; Jura: the milk system with milk cleaner on every day you use milk. Counted as every day. Jura requires its own milk cleaner, which our catalog does not carry.
Water filter: Not stated; Jura gives the filter capacity in litres (up to 50 litres at 16 to 20 °dH), not in time. How much water a cup and its rinses take, Jura does not say.
Descaler: Not needed; Jura: with the CLARIS Smart+ filter the machine needs no descaling.

We cannot price anything for this machine: what the maker requires is not in our catalog, or the maker gives no interval.

How often you descale depends on your water hardness. Where the maker gives no interval for it, we leave it out rather than estimate it.

Beans, counted separately

6.57 kilos a year at 9 grams a cup: €117.80 with the cheapest kilo in our catalog, €445.45 with the dearest.

Accessories that fit this machine

Maintenance

Essential

Descaler

Limescale is what most machines die of, and vinegar attacks the seals. A liquid descaler declared suitable for espresso machines does the same job as the maker’s own branded fluid, usually for less.

Maintenance

Recommended

CLARIS Smart+ water filter

Jura builds the filter into its maintenance schedule; with one fitted the machine no longer needs descaling at all. That saves work and costs a subscription in filters.

Beans for this machine

Every bean fits every machine. What differs is the order: on a bean-to-cup the 100% arabica beans come first, because dark-roasted blends carrying robusta give off more oil and that clogs a built-in grinder sooner.
