Preparing and using for the first time
Setting up the machine
- Choose a spot for your S8 which protects the machine against overheating. Ensure that the ventilation slots are not covered.
![]()
- Place the S8 on a horizontal surface that is not sensitive to water.
Filling the bean container
The aroma preservation cover on the bean container ensures that the aroma of the beans is retained for longer.
![]()
Coffee beans which have been treated with additives (e.g. sugar), ground coffee or freeze-dried coffee will damage the grinder.
- Only use roasted, untreated coffee beans to fill the bean container.
- Remove the aroma preservation cover.
- Fill the bean container with coffee beans and close the aroma preservation cover.
Determining the water hardness
When you use the machine for the first time, you must set the water hardness. If you know the hardness of your water, go straight to the next section. If you do not know the water hardness, you can find this out first:
- Hold the Aquadur® test strip supplied under running water for one second. Shake off the water.
- Wait for about 1 minute.
- You will then be able to read the degree of water hardness from the discoloration of the Aquadur® test strip and the description on the packaging.

Connecting milk
Your S8 creates fine, creamy, feather-light milk foam with a perfect consistency. The most important requirement for frothing milk is a milk temperature of 39–46°F (4–8°C). We would therefore recommend using a milk cooler or a milk container.
- Remove the protective cover from the professional fine foam frother.
- Connect the milk pipe to the professional fine foam frother.
The milk system of your S8 has a connector HP3 and an interchangeable milk spout CX3.
- Connect the other end of the milk pipe to a milk container or a milk cooler.
Establishing a WiFi connection
Your S8 can be connected with your JURA app (J.O.E.®).
Precondition: J.O.E.® is installed on your mobile device. The JURA Wi-Fi Connect is inserted into the service socket of your S8.
- To go to the JURA Cockpit, swipe your finger across the start screen from bottom to top.
- Touch the 'Machine setting'
symbol. - Touch 'Wi-Fi connection'.
- Touch 'Connect'.
- Add a new network in your JURA app (J.O.E.®) and follow the instructions.
Preparation
![]()
Hot coffee, hot steam and hot water can cause scalding. Scalding is a serious burn.
- Use extreme care when handling hot liquid or steam.
- Allow liquid to cool down before drinking.
- In the event of scalding, rinse affected area with cold water and seek medical attention.
- Keep children AWAY.

If the screensaver is active, touch the display to return to the start screen.
Coffee tastes best served hot. A cold porcelain cup cools the beverage – and impairs the taste. We therefore recommend pre-warming the cups. You can purchase a JURA cup warmer from your specialized dealer.
Preparation with preselection (Specialty Selection)
Swipe across the display from top to bottom to open the Specialty Selection.
![]()
Now choose the desired preselection for the product:
Specialty Selection | Meaning |
– 'Extra Shot' (cappuccino, latte macchiato, flat white, Sweet Latte) | The product is prepared with two brewing operations, with half the amount of water – for a specialty coffee with a particularly intense taste. |
– Double product (espresso, coffee) | The product is prepared with two brewing operations (two strokes). |
– Ground coffee (all specialty coffees except for espresso doppio) | The product is prepared with ground coffee. |
– 'Sweet milk foam' (all specialities with milk) | Use the syrup attachment provided to prepare the product with sweet milk foam. |
The Specialty Selection closes after 10 seconds.
If you press your preselection briefly, the next product will be prepared according to your preselection.
If you press and hold your preselection (for 2 seconds), the preselection will be active until you switch off your S8.
Espresso and coffee
Example: coffee
- Place a cup under the coffee spout.
![]()
- Touch 'Coffee'.
The preset amount of water for coffee flows into the cup.
Sweet Latte (prepared with syrup attachment)
The Sweet Latte is a specialty coffee with sweet milk foam. To make this specialty, use the syrup attachment provided.
All specialities with milk can also be prepared with sweet milk foam. To do this, use the syrup attachment provided and before starting preparation, select the Specialty Selection
.
Precondition: milk is connected to the professional fine foam frother.
- Remove the cover from the syrup attachment.
![]()
- Fill the syrup attachment with syrup. Fill it to the first, second or third mark depending on the desired sweetness.
- Close the syrup attachment.
- Touch 'Sweet Latte'.
'Please connect the syrup attachment, ensuring it is filled with syrup' - Remove the lower part of the professional fine foam frother.
![]()

8 minutes after preparation, the milk system is automatically rinsed. Therefore always place a receptacle under the fine foam frother after preparing milk.
To ensure that the professional fine foam frother always works properly, you must clean it daily when you have been preparing milk (see 'Maintenance – Cleaning the milk system' chapter).
Latte macchiato, cappuccino and other specialty coffees with milk
Your S8 prepares the following specialty coffees with milk at the touch of a button:
- Cappuccino
- Flat white
- Latte macchiato
- Cortado
- Macchiato
Example: latte macchiato
Precondition: milk is connected to the fine foam frother.
- Place a glass under the Professional fine foam frother.
![]()
- Turn the setting wheel of the Professional fine foam frother to the 'Milk Foam' position.
- Touch 'Latte macchiato' (page
).
The preset amount of milk foam flows into the glass.
There is a short interval while the hot milk separates from the milk foam. This allows the typical layers of a latte macchiato to form.
The preset amount of water for espresso flows into the glass.
8 minutes after preparation, the milk system is automatically rinsed. Therefore always place a receptacle under the fine foam frother after preparing milk.
To ensure that the fine foam frother always works properly, you must clean it daily when you have been preparing milk (see 'Maintenance – Cleaning the milk system' chapter).
Milk and milk foam
Your S8 prepares hot milk and milk foam. To do this, turn the setting wheel of the Professional fine foam frother to the 'Milk Foam' or 'Milk' position.
8 minutes after preparation, the milk system is automatically rinsed. Therefore always place a receptacle under the fine foam frother after preparing milk.
Americano and lungo
For the americano and lungo, the S8 blends the coffee with hot water using a special preparation method. This results in a full-bodied specialty coffee which is particularly easy to digest. You can change the amount of this additional water (see 'Preparation – Adjusting the product settings' chapter).
Espresso doppio
'Doppio' is Italian for 'double'. When you select espresso doppio, two espressi are prepared one after the other. The result is an extra full-bodied and aromatic specialty coffee.
Ground coffee
You can choose to use a second coffee variety, for example decaffeinated coffee, with the filter funnel for ground coffee.
- Never add more than two level measuring spoons of ground coffee.
- Use ground coffee which is not ground too finely. Very fine coffee can block up the system so that the coffee only comes out in drips.
- If you did not fill the machine with a sufficient amount of ground coffee, 'Not enough ground coffee' is displayed and the S8 stops the operation.
- The desired specialty coffee must be prepared within approximately one minute after filling with the ground coffee. Otherwise the S8 stops the operation and is once more ready for use.
Example: espresso with ground coffee
- Place an espresso cup under the coffee spout.
- Swipe across the display from top to bottom to open the Specialty Selection.
- Touch
. - Touch 'Espresso'.
