Preparing and using for the first time

Setting up the machine

  • Choose a spot for your J8 twin which protects the machine against overheating. Ensure that the ventilation slots are not covered.
  • Place the J8 twin on a horizontal surface that is not sensitive to water.

Filling the bean container

The aroma preservation covers on the bean containers ensure that the aroma of the beans is retained for longer.
NOTICE
Coffee beans which have been treated with additives (e.g. sugar), ground coffee or freeze-dried coffee will damage the grinders.

  • 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 J8 twin 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.

    information The milk system of your J8 twin 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 Wi-Fi connection

Your J8 twin 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 J8 twin.

  • Tap at the top to open the JURA Cockpit.
  • Touch the 'Machine setting' symbol.
  • Tap 'Connections'.
  • Tap '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.

– 'Sweet milk foam'
(all specialty coffees with milk)
Use the syrup attachment provided to prepare the product with sweet milk foam.
– 'Extra Shot'
(all specialty coffees with milk except macchiato and cortado)
The product is prepared with two brewing operations, with half the amount of water – for a specialty coffee with a particularly intense taste.
– Ground coffee
(all specialty coffees except for espresso doppio)
The product is prepared with ground coffee.

information Not all settings are available for all products.
Example: Cappuccino with higher coffee strength

  • Touch 'Next'.
    The preset amounts of coffee and milk foam flow into the cup.
    'Please remove the syrup attachment for cleaning and connect the fine foam frother.'
  • Remove the syrup attachment and rinse it thoroughly under running water.
    information The syrup attachment, including the cover, is dishwasher-safe.
  • Re-attach the lower part of the professional fine foam frother.
  • Touch 'Next'.
    information 8 minutes after preparation, the milk system is automatically rinsed. Therefore always place a receptacle under the professional 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 chapter 'Maintenance – Cleaning the milk system').

Latte macchiato, cappuccino and other specialty coffees with milk

Your J8 twin prepares the following specialty coffees with milk at the touch of a button:

  • Cortado
  • Cappuccino
  • Café au lait
  • Macchiato
  • Flat White
  • Latte macchiato

Example: Latte macchiato
Precondition: Milk is connected to the professional fine foam frother.

  • Place a glass under the professional fine foam frother.
  • Tap 'Latte macchiato'.
    The preset amounts of milk and milk foam flow into the glass.
    information 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.
    information 8 minutes after preparation, the milk system is automatically rinsed. Therefore always place a receptacle under the professional professional 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 chapter '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 specialty coffee which is particularly easy to digest. You can change the amount of this additional water (see chapter '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 professional fine foam frother to the 'Milk Foam' or 'Milk' position.
information 8 minutes after preparation, the milk system is automatically rinsed. Therefore always place a receptacle under the professional fine foam frother after preparing milk.

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 J8 twin stops the operation.
  • The desired specialty coffee must be prepared within approximately one minute after filling with the ground coffee. Otherwise the J8 twin stops the operation and is once more ready for use.

Example: Proceed as follows to prepare an espresso using ground coffee.

  • Place an espresso cup under the coffee spout.
  • Tap the 'Aroma Selection' symbol (bottom center).
  • Tap 'Espresso'.
  • Touch .
  • Touch 'Next'.
  • Touch 'Start'.
    'Please add ground coffee'
  • Open the powder chute cover.
  • Place the filler funnel for ground coffee on the powder chute.
  • Add the desired amount of ground coffee to the filler funnel (max. 2 level measuring spoons).
    information The amount of ground coffee determines the intensity and aroma of the beverage, so you can adjust it to your personal preferences.
  • Remove the filler funnel.
  • Close the cover.
  • Touch 'Next'.
    The preset amount of water for espresso flows into the cup.
    information The powder chute and cover can be removed and also cleaned, if necessary.

Hot water

The J8 twin allows you to prepare different variants of hot water:

  • 'Hot water'
  • 'Hot water for green tea' (Product must be added to the start screen. To do this, tap and hold any product for 2 seconds, then use the 'Replace product' function to select hot water for green tea.)

    There is a danger of scalding from hot water splashes.
    • Avoid direct contact with the skin.

Example: Hot water

  • Place a cup under the hot-water spout.
  • Tap 'Hot water'.
    The preset amount of water flows into the cup.

Adjusting the grinder

The grinder adjustment switches are used to adjust both grinders according to your preference for a mild or intense aroma.

Adjusting the product settings

Touch a product for approximately 2 seconds to access the settings:

  • Save permanent settings for preferred coffee strength and quantity, change the product name or preselect options such as 'Sweet milk foam', 'Extra Shot' or 'Ground coffee'.
  • The 'Replace' symbol allows you to choose between 'Replace product' and 'Reposition the product'.
