Preventing damage To avoid damage to the machine and the mains cable:

  • The J8 twin must not be placed in a cabinet when in use.
  • Do not use the J8 twin and the mains cable near hot surfaces.
  • Do not allow the mains cable to rub against sharp edges and ensure that it does not become trapped.
  • Never allow the mains cable to loosely hang down. The main cable could pose a tripping hazard or become damaged.
  • Protect the J8 twin from weather and direct sunlight.
  • Only connect the J8 twin to a mains voltage corresponding to that stated on the rating plate. The rating plate is located on the underside.
  • Connect the J8 twin directly to a domestic power socket. Using multi-socket adapters or extension cords may cause overheating.
  • The surface of the heating element and outer enclosure remains hot after use and the outside of the appliance may retain heat.
  • Do not use alkaline or alcohol-based cleaning agents; only use mild cleaning agents and a soft cloth.
  • Do not use any coffee beans treated with additives or caramelised coffee beans.
  • Only fill the water tank with fresh, cold, non-carbonated water.
  • Switch the machine off with the On/Off button if you are going to be absent for a longer period and remove the mains plug from the power socket.
  • Only use original JURA maintenance products. Use of products that are not explicitly recommended by JURA could damage your J8 twin.

The danger of electric shock

  • Flat white
  • Latte macchiato

Example: Latte macchiato

Precondition: Milk is connected to the fine foam frother.

  • Place a glass under the fine foam frother.
  • Tap ‘Latte macchiato’. The preset amounts of milk and milk foam flow 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 chapter 7 ‘Maintenance – Cleaning the milk system’).

Americano and lungo
For the americano and lungo, the J8 twin blends the coffee with hot water using a special preparation method. This results in a full-bodied speciality coffee which is particularly easy to digest. You can change the amount of this additional water (see chapter 4 ‘Preparation – Adjusting the product settings’).

Milk and milk foam
Your J8 twin prepares hot milk and milk foam. To do this, turn the setting wheel of the fine foam frother to the ‘Milk Foam’ or ‘Milk’ position.
