1 Preparing and using for the first time
Visit us on the Internet (www.jura.com). You will find interesting and
up-to-date information on your X8 and on every aspect of coffee.
When setting up your X8, please note the following:
UPlace the X8 on a horizontal surface that is not sensitive to
water.
UChoose a spot for your X8 which protects the machine against
overheating. Ensure that the ventilation slots are not covered.
The aroma preservation cover of the bean container is lockable
(spanner supplied as standard).
Coffee beans which have been treated with additives (e.g. sugar),
ground coffee or freeze-dried coffee will damage the grinder.
T Only use roasted, untreated coffee beans to fill the bean
container.
TRemove the aroma preservation cover.
TRemove any dirt or foreign objects from inside the bean
container.
TFill the bean container with coffee beans and close the
aroma preservation cover.
When you use the machine for the first time, you must set the water
hardness. If you do not know the hardness of your water, you can
find this out first. Use the Aquadur® test strips supplied with the
machine.
THold the test strip briefly (for 1second) under flowing water.
Shake off the water.
TWait for about 1minute.

When using the machine for the first time, you can choose whether
you want to operate X8 with or without the CLEARYL Pro Smart
filter cartridge. As well as limescale, the filter cartridge filters many
other substances that impair aroma and flavor out of the water.
These substances may negatively affect the coffee. To enjoy the best
quality coffee at all times, we recommend that you use CLEARYL Pro
Smart.
If the machine is operated with a defective power cord, there is a
danger of potentially fatal electric shock.
T Never use a machine which is damaged.
T Never use a machine which has a defective power cord.
EThe water volume is given as standard in ‘oz’. You can change
this setting to ‘ml’ in programming mode (see Chapter 4

Your X8 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.
TConnect the milk pipe to the dual spout.
TConnect the other end of the milk pipe to a milk container
or a milk cooler.
Your X8 is equipped with the JURA Smart Connect. This allows you
to connect the machine to a compatible accessory (e.g. the JURA
Cool Control Wireless milk cooler) via Bluetooth.
Precondition:The start screen is displayed.
TPress the ‘Pc’ button.

Hot coffee, hot steam and hot water can cause scalding. Scalding is
a serious burn.
T Use extreme care when handling hot liquid or steam.
T Allow liquid to cool down before drinking.
T In the event of scalding, rinse affected area with cold water
and seek medical attention.
T Keep children AWAY.
Basic information about preparing drinks:
UThe display shows the products you can prepare. Press the ‘T’
button to display more products.
UDuring the grinding operation you can select the
coffee strength of single products by pressing the ‘<’ and
‘>’ buttons.
UDuring preparation you can change the preset amounts (e.g.
water and amount of milk foam) by pressing the ‘<’ and ‘>’
buttons.
UThe water volume is given as standard in ‘oz’. You can change
this setting to ‘ml’ in programming mode (see Chapter 4
‘Permanent settings in programming mode – Unit for amount
of water’).
UYou can stop the machine at any time while a specialty coffee
or hot water is being prepared. To do this, press the ‘Cancel’
button.
Coffee tastes best served hot. A cold porcelain cup cools the
beverage – and impairs the taste. We therefore recommend
pre-warming the cups. The full coffee aroma can develop only in
pre-warmed cups. You can purchase a JURA cup warmer from
your specialized dealer.
You can make permanent settings for all products in programming
mode (see Chapter 4 ‘Permanent settings in programming mode –
Adjusting the product settings’).

coffees with milk at the touch of a button. There is no need to move
the glass or cup.
Example:Proceed as follows to prepare one latte macchiato.
Precondition:Milk is connected to the dual spout.
TPlace a glass under the dual spout.
TPress the ‘Latte macchiato’ button.
‘Latte macchiato’, the preset amounts of milk and milk foam

milk foam. This allows the typical layers of a latte macchiato
to form.
Coffee preparation starts. The preset amount of water for
espresso flows into the glass. Preparation stops
automatically. Your X8 is once more ready for use.
To ensure that the milk system in the dual spout always works
properly, you must clean it daily (see Chapter 5 ‘Maintenance –
