Jura S8 Superautomatic Espresso Machine
Overview
Equal parts showpiece and shot-puller extraordinaire, Jura's new S8 brings attractive design and excellent espresso in equal portions. A refinement on Jura's new design style, the S8 flaunts curved lines touched with rich chrome accents. At the center of this luxe look is Jura's newest touchscreen—a bright 4.3-inch LED that makes scrolling through menu options and programming your favorite drinks an easy affair. The touchscreen entirely replaces the buttons and scroll wheels found on other models, giving the S8 a streamlined appearance over the competition. More than just a design piece, Jura's designers also worked in many of their best technical features—a new Fine Foam adjustment lever delivers some of the best milk we've seen from a superauto, while Jura's Pulse Extraction Process (P.E.P) and G3 grinder make for some excellent standalone ristretto.
Features and Functionality
- 4.3" Touchscreen - Bright and easy on the eyes, the S8 is entirely controlled through the front-facing touchscreen.

SCG Staff Says... | They really did do a great job with the milk texture dial on this machine. |
How Does it Compare? | While the case bears a passing resemblance to the E6 and E8, the S8 is definitely more premium feeling in-person. |
