As always, a great review. I bought my Jura S8 back in December 2019 and used your review as part of my research. Yoir videos are always very thorough and you take the time to respond to comments. My daughter recently bought an eno8 because it was narrower and a couple of weeks ago I saw your original video so was pleasantly surprised to see you've just uploaded this one! You couldn't have timed it better! The only thing I'd say about the eno8 is that its quite expensive for what it is compared to the S8 for just a bit more money and that it only produces milk foam rather than both steamed and foam which means theres no real latte option. When i do a latte for example, I have it mainly steamed, finished with foamed milk which i can adjust on the milk attachment. I don't understand why jura couldn't have used the same attachment.
Hey paul, thanks for the comment and sharing your experience and your daughter's. With changing of milk/coffee prep order on the latest ENA 8 there's a much different appearance and mouth feel when you compare milk first drinks like cappuccino to espresso first drinks like a flat white. Marc
Appreciate the video as I'm looking to purchase this product, however, can a Yeti Rambler fit under the spout? Looks like it would be tough to fit something under the spout for to-go coffees.
Hi bb, Thanks for the question! Unfortunately I do not know the height of a Yeti Rambler. I do know the travel mug I use daily with the Jura ENA 8 is 5.75" tall and just fits under the spout with slight tilt in when placing. 5.75" is about as tall as you can go. Hope that helps! Marc
I am writing to inquire about a replacement for my Gaggia Anima Prestige espresso machine, which I purchased from Whole Latte Love. I am very pleased with the features of this machine and would like to find a similar replacement. Any recommendations? Thanks
Hi p, See you asked similar question on the Accademia video. If you like the Anima Prestige you will love the Accademia. Build quality with full metal case and glass front panel is fantastic. Touchscreen control is the best available. Very intuitive, reactive and informative. And the espresso is fantastic - most control of any available machine. Marc
Which one brews overall better tasting espressos? The gaggia accademia or this one? I have the gaggia magenta and it doesn’t exactly brew great tasting espresso…
Hi d, thanks for the question. It's very close. For my taste the Accademia has the potential to make a better tasting espresso for those willing to use Boost and fine tune controls like grind size and the flow control on the spouts. My favorite feature on the most recent Accademia is the Boost function. If you program a 2oz/60ml espresso and turn Boost on the machine uses 2 grind cycles to make the shot. What's unique is the first grind cycle makes a regular espresso comprising about 65% of the total volume. The second grind makes a shorter and sweeter ristretto for the remaining 35% of the volume. The combination of the espresso and ristretto produces a flavor I enjoy. Marc
I recommend the Gaggia academia 2022. I just have the machine for few days and its fantastic. Every drink tastes different!. I watched the videos of Marc hes good review made my decission to take a gaggia academia. You can make a 100% personalised drank. I was considering between jura J8 and seaconxelsis suprema, but gaggia academia full class italian quality is the best. Gaggia academi for sure!
Love your reviews and advice!! Got my A9 from your guys 7 years ago! Can you let us know how wide the machine is, including the tank? Their website says 10.7” but does it include the tank?
Hi S, it's Crema Wave available here: www.wholelattelove.com/collections/whole-bean-espresso-coffee/products/whole-latte-love-crema-wave-whole-bean-espresso Marc
Hi dan, Thanks for the question. You can set grind coarser without the grinder running. If setting finer the grinder should be running to prevent damage. Marc
I wondered, at the point you selected 'Hot' as a temperature for your 'strong' espresso, if this sets the temperature of water for brewing espresso or refers to something different. The medium roast espresso I am using is pretty forgiving in many ways, but a true one degree difference in brew temperature on my machine makes a noticeable difference in taste (in this case 201F is the desired temp). Or did I miss something? Thanks!
Hi DK, Thanks for the question. We often share limitations or things to be aware of regarding products. We do a lot of pre-release testing and recommendation for European manufacturers. Many of our suggestions are implemented prior to public release. We also share feedback we receive directly from consumers and our machine techs for next version product improvements.
@@Wholelattelovepage thanks for your response. If I understand you correctly you don’t share critic publicly and only share it privately with the manufacturer? I’ve only seen a handful of your reviews and none of those pointed out any product limitations. These facts makes your reviews more promotional than objective and that wasn’t clear to me in the beginning. Your lack of neutrality devalues your reviews for me personally but I understand your business model now so good luck to you. All the best.
Hi LH, With the cleaning tablets seen here: ruclips.net/video/1hagbZGMG7c/видео.htmlsi=5JRIfOGberNMuU5i&t=1032 They go in the ground coffee bypass doser. Then select the cleaning cycle - it's quick and easy! Marc
@@LowsHand Not sure I understand. I had the pervious version of the ENA 8 in my home for ~2 years and >3,000 brew cycles. Never had a cleaning issue. Just use the cleaning tablet when the machine prompts and all was well.
The fact you had the old model at home speaks volumes. If we can't win one will have to save up and buy one. Thanks!
Hey r, you're welcome and thanks for the comment. Good luck!

Hey matt, Thanks for the kind comment and your patronage! The 10.7" includes the tank.

Great tutorial for all the features. Thank you
Hey jk, You're welcome and thanks for the comment!
Marc
Thanks Marc for your reviews
My pleasure!
Marc
I would love ot have this machine, Great Video, thanks for sharing!!
Hi J, You're welcome and thanks for the comment!
Marc
What is the maximum coffee dose 10 g or 16 g ?
I was wondering this too.
Hey a, it's max of ~10g per grind cycle.
Marc
Which coffee are you using?
Hi S, it's Crema Wave available here: www.wholelattelove.com/collections/whole-bean-espresso-coffee/products/whole-latte-love-crema-wave-whole-bean-espresso
Marc
Can the grind size be set before grinding starts?
Hi dan, Thanks for the question. You can set grind coarser without the grinder running. If setting finer the grinder should be running to prevent damage.

Hi b, thanks for the question. The hot setting refers to the water used to brew the espresso.
Marc
Great video. Would be awesome to win. Would be a great upgrade from my aging Gagia brera.
Good luck!
Marc
i need to upgrade my machine , but cant decide
Hey w, what machine are you using now and what features do you desire in an upgrade?
Marc
Have you ever reviewed a product, thought it could be better and shared that?
Hi DK, Thanks for the question. We often share limitations or things to be aware of regarding products. We do a lot of pre-release testing and recommendation for European manufacturers.

How are you cleaning the brewing group?
In my opinion this is the biggest failure of all Jura machines....
Hi LH, With the cleaning tablets seen here: ruclips.net/video/1hagbZGMG7c/видео.htmlsi=5JRIfOGberNMuU5i&t=1032

@@Wholelattelovepage - just take a closer look into any used Jura machine - you'll be surprised.... A cleaning tablet is not helping - sorry!
@@LowsHand Not sure I understand. I had the pervious version of the ENA 8 in my home for ~2 years and >3,000 brew cycles. Never had a cleaning issue. Just use the cleaning tablet when the machine prompts and all was well.
I've got an S8 that will be 5 years old in December and never had an issue.
