Instructional video by Jeremy Shieh on basic use procedures for the Jura Coffee Machine E8 line. Meant for internal use, but made available for all in case it is helpful!
Trust me, the button being on the back is great but truly an afterthought. If I designed it myself I would have had a power button on the top side that lit up when in use. When training staff to use the machine it is always a shock to them that the button is behind there :P
The machine is user friendly but definitely someone should give everyone a tour of how to use it. I’m glad this was helpful! I imagine it was a fun break room hangout watching the video and learning that this big black cube that was taking up your counter space could make life better instead of being a huge paperweight :P
That manual was gigantic and all the videos I could find were done by sales people in other countries using machines that weren’t even for sale in US. I’m really glad our random employee training video on the machine was helpful for you!
No, the milk that comes out is just lightly frothed but more just thinly steamed milk. For latte art, usually a thicker steamed milk is used which would allow for greater control and variations on the design.
Thanks for the instructional video -- really cool! We just got the same machine, however, our dial only seems to turn to the right (90 degrees), not to the left. Why would this be? Also, the machine doesn't seem to be able to do a good frothy foam, like here, even though the steam is coming out fine. Does some tube have to go from the frother into the cup or putting the cup underneath the frother should be sufficient? Thanks for any replies as Jura E8's manual is quite confusing!
I assume by dial you're talking about the dial that allows you to choose steamed milk versus frothed milk. The dial should turn left or right by about 45 degrees each way from the 12 o'clock position with turning clockwise being steamed milk and counterclockwise being foamed/frothed milk. There are a lot of reasons why your milk isn't coming out frothed, here are a couple of the reasons that come to mind for me: 1) Your milk could be too thick, aim for 1% milk, you can try by watering your milk down. If that makes the milk froth easier, that means your milk is too thick. 2) Cleaning! It is REALLY important that each component of the milk system is clean. Take out each piece the milk interacts with and soak it in warm soapy water every now and then to get the deposits removed. 3) Check that each of the pieces are properly installed. The little rubber nipple (black) that is right above where the milk comes out should be replaced every now and then. Also it is the most finnicky part that goes bad on its own sometimes. Call Jura or wherever you bought your machine from and they probably have a replacement one for you to use to see if that's what's causing your problems. 4) Take apart the assembly where the frothed milk comes out by unscrewing it and making sure each of the pieces looked perfectly aligned, if any amount of air sneaks in here while you're frothing milk, it'll come out just as steamed milk.
We’ve only tried it with cow milk (whole, 2%, 1%) and soy milk. I don’t like the combination of coffees with alternative milks but I will say that it does produce drinks just about the same. It did seem a little more watery when using the soy milk.
Honestly our two E8s are going strong for 4 years now with no servicing required besides maintenance! Definitely don’t pay full price though, sometimes there are sales that save you 20+%
Not only should you clean it every day at the least. You probably should clean it no more than 30 min from last use as the milk/water sort of just sits in the tube after use in unregulated temperature areas. It really is quite a lot of work 😭 the alternative is swapping out tubes every couple months which is quite cheap. In either case get a narrow pipe cleaner to really clean the tubes and the adapters
@@refinerosevillejeremy1332 cant you just rinse milk system and clean tube under the wather? And then at the end of the day just clean milk system? I saw someone when he was done with milk coffee had glas of water and swap tube from milk into the water and then just press hot milk so tube was cleaned by water :) im sure its not the right way but it should do it?
@@gorane87 It's really up to you! So of course that isn't the "right" way to do it, but if the machine is being used often enough and the tube is being cleared of milk and water then you're mostly okay. The milk and milk-water will deposit fats, oils, minerals on the tubing and eventually would form sediment and bacteria/fungi... so in your case that once a day cleaning better be a little more thorough and possibly use a very narrow pipe cleaner to get the inside of the tube clean. If doing this, then hot water and soap will be sufficient to perform the cleaning bath. With regards to cleaning the actual milk froth part of the machine, you do probably need to use the milk system cleaner in any case as soap will not work properly at steam temperatures (denatured) and will also foam so much that you'll have a different type of mess on your hands.
Thanks for your feedback, I intended this as a instructional video for my staff and didn't realize I shared it publicly. But seeing that it is helping people out I'll leave it public.
Hello, that right, but is bullshit, becuase the bottle of Jura is expensive and there is no reason to give more, just dont but version s8 Jura, becuase you have to do it every time after use the cappucino maker, there is no option with Rinse milk system, but only Clean..
@@Kuzelarie The bottle of Jura cleaner is cheep in canada . 1 litre for 40 bucks on Amazon. I also after every milk use just run water through the entire frother. only takes seconds to rince out milk .
Was ist denn besser ? Und warum muss sie preiswerter sein ?🤔 Die Jura ist schön,teuer, macht guten Kaffee und ist ein Schweizer Produkt, das darf ruhig was kosten.
This is as states but NOT in the instructions at all * You MUST unplug the cooler (Fridge on the JURA site) or your milk will be frozen by morning. Nothing states this any ware. If i new this before buying , It would make me rethink the item. Hope this helps. I learned this direct from JURA support. The tech also stated the board goes bad after a wile, in my case 1 year 2 months, then the milk freeze solid hard every morning.
We have three milk coolers (not the newest version but the one that was available 2014-2020) and they have NEVER froze the milk. I guess we should count ourselves lucky. That being said we really never leave the milk in there for more than 8 hours at a time. I also wouldn’t trust it to refrigerate the milk for longer than that as every time you use the milk it pulls back milk and water from the tube into the milk cooler and that waters the milk down each draw along with brings contaminants into the milk. Then again if ours had the issue of getting too cold then much of my worries would go away. Not sure how frustrated you are with Jura, but in your shoes I would call and get that milk cooler replaced. Also our coolers are the larger size and not the smaller one.
@@refinerosevillejeremy1332 I love the Idea , but wish it would last longer. The team with Jura was great with me , and know about the issue . That is when i learned How the cooler is to be used. The not advertised info. That does erk me a bit but I live my coffee and the s8 is solid with 3000 plus coffee drinks and counting. The cooler is advertised as a fridge on their site. I stated to them this should be changed and info on how Jura expected the clients how to use it. Take care
@@refinerosevillejeremy1332 In Canada, Montreal is the Jura depot and service centre. When I called and asked them have they heard about this. They sais yes many times. Also asked how am I using it , I stated milk 24/7 as intended. They replied "That is not to be used in this way, every night turn off the cooler and put milk in fridge." Direct from Jura. Im kinda not happy about it as I thought I can use it 24/7.
@@rioborzeli147 I see! I apologize, maybe packaging is different in USA vs Canada... the milk cooler system is sold here as just a temporary cooler and not a refrigerator.
Interesting! We'll try that out for a little to see if it makes a difference for the cost. At the moment our two machines are 3 and 5 years old and working properly given our improper milk cleaning usage. The thing we have found most useful is to squeeze the tube and clean it by rubbing once a week. Also placing the entire milk apparatus in warm water with some cleaner diluted for 30 min once a week also has become standard cleaning procedures for us. That being said both machines are used daily for ~45 cups of coffee with about ~30 of them with milk in them.
Great job! Out of 10 other videos…you’re the first to..TURN ON THE MACHINE!🤯💪
Well done demo! Thanks!
This is the best demo. I forgot how to turn the cooler on
Trust me, the button being on the back is great but truly an afterthought. If I designed it myself I would have had a power button on the top side that lit up when in use. When training staff to use the machine it is always a shock to them that the button is behind there :P
Great and informative video... Thanks
I love this. Thank you for this video. There's one of these in the break room at work and I had no idea how to use it. 🙃
The machine is user friendly but definitely someone should give everyone a tour of how to use it. I’m glad this was helpful! I imagine it was a fun break room hangout watching the video and learning that this big black cube that was taking up your counter space could make life better instead of being a huge paperweight :P
you mentioned 75k combination? do you have a video of your combinations?
Thanks. This was really helpful - the manual isn't so easy to understand.
That manual was gigantic and all the videos I could find were done by sales people in other countries using machines that weren’t even for sale in US. I’m really glad our random employee training video on the machine was helpful for you!
Could you tell which it defaults to if both ground coffee and beans are filled into the machine?
Is the E8 machine capable of frothing milk suitable for free pour latte art?
No, the milk that comes out is just lightly frothed but more just thinly steamed milk. For latte art, usually a thicker steamed milk is used which would allow for greater control and variations on the design.

This can also happen if it's not clean. :)
So the machine doesn’t come with the milk container?
Good video how well does it work with non dairy milks?
We’ve only tried it with cow milk (whole, 2%, 1%) and soy milk. I don’t like the combination of coffees with alternative milks but I will say that it does produce drinks just about the same. It did seem a little more watery when using the soy milk.
@@refinerosevillejeremy1332 ok thank you

3 drops for the milk Cleaning !!!! Should be 15ml!!! No wonder your milk tube clogs up
