EssentialDescaler
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.

When the E8 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 E8 is the model where Jura starts counting. The burrs are a class above the mass-market brands, and the difference is mostly audible and tasteable on darker roasts.
Whether that justifies the sum depends on how much you drink. At two cups a day a Philips 3300 is the better buy. At six, with milk, the E8 earns it back in build quality and in a milk system that is not blocked after two years.
Who for: Heavy drinkers who want to keep a machine for ten years.

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: €108.34 with the cheapest kilo in our catalog, €445.45 with the dearest.

- Is the E8 a bean-to-cup or a portafilter machine?

- How does the E8 froth milk?
- The E8 froths milk: with a tube into a carton or container.

Maintenance
RecommendedCLARIS 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.

Go to bolBeans 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.
