Hi Thomas, Thanks for sharing the longevity of your E8. That's an excellent run. Any guess as to how many drinks you made in those 16 years? We get regular owner reports of >15,000 brew cycles with nothing more than routine maintenance for both Jura and Gaggia machines. Marc
Does the app work with milk drinks? It looks like you have to be at the machine to start/stop the milk (?). What Jura machine would not require that extra step with the milk?
Hi Kara, Thanks for the question. If you drink mostly espresso I'd go with the Magenta Plus: www.wholelattelove.com/products/gaggia-magenta-plus-super-automatic-espresso-machine The Magenta has more flexibility and is a newer design than the E6 - also costs a lot less even if you go for the Magenta Prestige which has the attachable milk carafe for 1 touch drinks. You'll have more dosing range on the Magentas. If you select a double espresso on the Magenta it will do 2 grind cycles yielding a ground coffee dose of up to 23g at max strength setting. Select a double espresso on the E6 and the machine does just one grind cycle with a max ground coffee dose of 16g. Typical double espresso these days is made using 18g. Beyond that the Magentas do a true one touch Americano. A drink many espresso lovers (and former filter coffee folks) enjoy for larger cups which retains the basic flavor characteristics of an espresso. Hope that helps! Marc
Hi sf, Any beans can be used for any brew method. When you purchase beans some may be labeled espresso - that's just a suggestion. Beans labeled espresso most often consist of (especially Italian style) a bean blend containing some amount of Robusta beans along with Arabica. Also tend to be at a medium or darker roast level. But that's changed in the last decade or so with the rise of 3rd wave specialty coffee. Higher end specialty cafes often feature lighter roasted single origin (not bean blends) coffees for espresso. Marc
Hi Jennifer, Yes, you can drop the milk pickup tube into a regular cup. I've even put them right into a milk carton - no problem and no dirty cup! Marc
Hi DL, Well, Wifi has range limited only by network but is not compatible with with the E6. See this for Wifi compatibility: www.wholelattelove.com/products/jura-wifi-connect Marc
Hi KS, Thanks for the question. Jura machines produce a hot cup. Internally they brew at 195-205F (90.5-96C). As the espresso/coffee travels to the cup it does cool. I understand some are seeking the hottest cup possible. Do know that professional tasters and roasters prefer tasting at much cooler temps typically in the 130-150F (54-66C). It’s near impossible to detect flavors in very hot or very cold beverages. One reason why poor quality coffee is served very hot and poor quality beer/wine is served cold. The closer a beverage is to body temp the easier it is to detect flavors. Marc
Hi LV, depends on if you're going into espresso based beverages as a hobbyist or looking for convenience. Semi-auto machines like the Profitec GO are a much more hands on experience and for a semi-auto you'll want a decent espresso focused grinder as well. If seeking convenience, then look to a super-auto bean to cup like the Jura or Gaggia. I'm partial to the Gaggia Cadorna on a features/value comparison versus the Jura. But check it out for yourself in my videos: Gaggia Cadorna: ruclips.net/video/Wr-KP2iaJ14/видео.html Profitec GO: ruclips.net/video/aROy-ZjgZUQ/видео.html Hope that helps! Marc
Hi Marc love this channel, and your reviews are a huge help. I'm trying to understand if brewing 2 espresso or 2 coffee simultaneously results in weaker strength. I read somewhere that the Jura won't double the amount of coffee ground, and only doubles the water used. I imagine that would make it rather weak. any idea? thanks!
Hi CT, Thanks for the kind comment. That is true for many Jura machines - a single grind cycle is used when 2 cups are selected. You might take a look at Gaggia machines. They all use 2 grind cycles when 2 cups are selected. The latest Gaggia Accademia is an incredibly good machine! Beautiful touch screen interface, Coffee boost function which adds a sweet ristretto using a second grind cycle, flow control and a whole latte more! Check out in this in-depth video: ruclips.net/video/jZWS38_Jge4/видео.html Marc
I have a Jura E6. I have my espresso programmed for 2 oz and full bean strength. When I press it twice for 2 drinks, I’m getting the same one puck in the coffee collector bin as usual, but I’m getting 2 drinks, each 2 oz. So I’m basically getting the same amount of espresso but with more water to make up the two drinks? There is only one portafiller inside and one tamper? So if I want two full strength espressos, I should make the 2 drinks separately? Thanks so much.
Hi CS, When you select 2 drinks the Jura increase the amount of coffee ground for those compared to the single so you should be seeing a larger puck of used coffee.
Can you confirm the settings for cappuccino please- is it still 1.5oz or more? Let’s say we are used to buying Venti size cappuccinos from Starbucks… that’s an enormous cup… how do we achieve the same amount of volume with this Jura? And if we do double shot, do we set it at 1.5oz and just run extra shot? Or 3.0oz?
Hi sf, You can reprogram espresso volume to what you desire. The E6 will not do a second grind cycle for the extra espresso so it's more water through same amount of coffee. You could do an extra shot manually for extra large drinks. Or, there's a machine like the Gaggia Accademia which will do an extra grind cycle for milk drinks using the Boost function. The Accademia does have an XL cappuccino on the menu which can do a max of 3.4oz of espresso. If you use boost for that it will grind approx 23 grams of coffee split in 2 grind cycles. 23 grams is considered a triple shot. Milk for the XL capp can be set up to 10.3oz for total drink size of nearly 14oz. The Accademia is more expensive than the E6 but an excellent machine! It makes the best espresso I've ever had from an automatic machine and has an excellent user interface. Plus you can adjust/program the milk froth density to one of 4 levels on a per drink basis. Check it out in this video: ruclips.net/video/jZWS38_Jge4/видео.html Or learn more about it with current pricing here: www.wholelattelove.com/products/gaggia-accademia-espresso-machine Hope that helps! Marc
I wonder if in the long term, like a few years, the cost begins to get closer to just buying nespresso pods over and over, and also add in being able to buy different varieties of beans
Hi Potato, Thanks for the comment. The E6 is a slightly older value priced Jura model. Other manufactures do have less expensive machines where that function is automatic. Jura machines tend to have slightly higher price points compared to other manufacturers products with similar features. Marc
@@yohvh Jura introduced PEP brewing (pulse extraction process) a few years back which is used for espresso/espresso containing drinks only and not larger coffees. To my taste the espresso made with PEP is better. It slows down the extraction and extracts more flavor. As a side benefit, one can get a good espresso and longer coffee without changing grind size. Without PEP you'd want grind set finer if drinking mostly espresso based beverages and coarser if doing mostly longer coffees. Marc
Thank you for this, excellent information. I can't find how to add hot water to my cup after I've made the coffee...or for making teas or hot chocolate. is there a way?
Hi Chris, I have not personally used in a "Google" environment but here are the tech requirements for the device: Android-Version 5.1.1 or higher iOS-Version 10.3.2 or higher Bluetooth-Version 4.0 or higher Jura support should be able to give you a more detailed response: us.jura.com/en/customer-care Marc
Great info!! I can't imagine that I am the only one here, but I have one extended family member that always has to be different. Can you bypass the grinder if someone wanted decaf or flavored beans instead of regular? Thanks!
When programming for a cappuccino with the Jura E6, if I choose a volume of up to 2.5 ounces, I will get espresso using the PEP. Correct? But if I use a higher volume of water, 3 or more ounces, the coffee will not be PEP espresso; instead, it will be the regular coffee. Correct? I don’t believe espresso can be pumped with more than 2.5 ounces of water. Am I correct? Thanks.
Hi CS, Thanks for the question and yes, you are correect. PEP is only used for espresso and milk based espresso beverages. When making regular long coffee the machine does not use PEP. This is true for all Jura machines with PEP capability. Marc
Hey mark! Thank you so much for this video… it is incredibly helpful. The only question I had was whether you use just coffee beans for all different drinks - espresso/coffee and cappuccino? Or should I buy espresso beans separately?
Hey Ashley, You are welcome for the video. And thanks for the question! Although the packaging of beans from some roasters may lead you to believe otherwise, the truth is there's no such thing as espresso beans. You can make any type of coffee or coffee beverage from any type of bean. So, there's no need to buy separate beans for espresso. That said, there are bean types which are more commonly used for espresso. Classic Italian style bean blends are a good example and beans like Lavazza Super Crema are a good example. Lately I've been drinking a lot of our very own Crema Wave. It's a modern take on the Italian blend. It uses a specialty grade beans in the blend - something you do not get from the majority of beans roasted in Italy. I use the Crema Wave to make espresso, flat whites and Americanos and enjoy it in all 3. Check it out here: www.wholelattelove.com/products/whole-latte-love-crema-wave-whole-bean-espresso Marc
One more PEP question. In milk based drinks, if I set the volume higher than 2.5 ounces, say, 4 ounces for example for my cappacino, then the coffee in that cappacino will just be regular coffee. In order to get espresso in a milk based drink, I must program the volume to 2.5 ounces or less. Is that correct? Please explain.
Hi CS, Program volumes of espresso or coffee has no affect on using PEP. Use of PEP is determined by the drink being made. Espresso and milk-based espresso beverages always use PEP. Coffee does not use PEP brewing. Marc
Marc, is there an easy way to change beans or must you wait until you’ve used them all? I got a new bag of Orphea and would like to use those but I feel like I will be mixing coffee beans at some point?
Hi e, Trying some of my favorite beans? It's kind of a pain on the E6. I'd get out what you can by hand. It has that finger protection grate in the hopper which blocks. That can be removed with a star drive tipped screw driver and you can get more out. Other than that I often use a powerful vacuum to suck beans from hoppers - of course you're sacrificing those. Enjoy the Orphea! Marc
Hi! I like a dry cappuccino (lighter on the milk- more foam)- with this machine would I simply put less milk and decrease the number of seconds on the cappuccino milk setting? Also, does the tube have to be rinsed after each use? Thanks !
Great review! I purchased the Jura E6 a couple of months ago and, unlike what I see in the presentation, my Jura does not have a pre-programmed Interval option for cappuccinos. I wonder if Jura decided it wasn't necessary.
@@Wholelattelovepage Thanks, Marc. The E6 you reviewed on 10/23/2019 had the interval option for cappuccinos. The one I got in November 2020 didn't. Not a big deal.
Hi Kc, The E6 does not have a latte option. The machine only makes milk drinks with milk froth prepared first and then the espresso. That's a cappuccino prep order. For latte you want a machine that does espresso first then milk. Heads up, it's rare to find a drink labeled a "latte" on these machines. That's because in Italian latte translates to milk. There are a few machines which have a drink labeled "caffe latte". Those machines tend to run a lot more $$. But if you want what we call a latte in North America look for machine which does a latte macchiato or flat white. Machines that make those have the capability to switch prep order of espresso and milk depending on the drink being made. The Gaggia Cadorna Prestige can flip prep order, has a much nicer user interface than the Jura and a much nicer price: www.wholelattelove.com/collections/super-automatic-espresso-machines/products/gaggia-cadorna-prestige Marc
Mark if i am spending around $1000-$1300 for an all in one espresso machine do i go Jura e6 or Breville barista touch? Or is there better options. PS i love your channel
Hi SD, Thanks for the question. Depends on what's important to you. Operating the Barista Touch takes some effort and a bit of skill. Automatic machines like the E6 are about convenience. If you have the knowledge and skill the Barista Touch has the potential to produce a higher quality espresso. But, espresso from the E6 is very good and it'll be very good every time with no effort or skill required. Marc
Which model number filter is correct for the Jura E6. I tried to read the manual online and couldn’t find that info. Thanks again. This comment section is probably the best available.
Hi Marc, and thanks for great review. Is it possible to just get warm milk for hot coffee? Can you program the machine to add warm milk to coffee? Thank again!
Hi Shelly, Thanks for the comment and question. The E6 does milk foam (frothed milk) only. The Jura E8 is 1st machine in Jura line which makes warm milk or milk foam. It's user adjustable via a lever on the milk spout: www.wholelattelove.com/collections/super-automatic-espresso-machines/products/jura-e8-in-chrome-g2 Hope that helps! Marc
Thanks for your great reviews. I'm wondering how much quieter this is (grinding, etc.) from the D6. I recently got the D6 and it is quite loud compared to an older model Jura a friend has.
Hi Frank, You are welcome. The E6 is a quieter than the D6. The D6 grinder is to the side of the machine while the E6 is centered and a newer design. Tough to quantify difference in sound level but it's definitely not as loud. Marc
Hi Mark, great video and very informative. I was planning on buying the new S8, but after watching this I think the E6 would probably suffice. We drink Aussie style flat whites so will never use the cappuccino option(we prefer the milk heated in the microwave), so I was wondering if there was a difference in the quality of the grind or the strength of the brew between the S8 and E6?
Hi t, They are essentially identical in brewing parameters. Both use the same grinder and brewing system. Difference comes down to UI features and drink options. Marc
I am assembling a new E6 frother tube and connectors. It’s comes with four pieces, I’ve identified the two black plugs for inside the frother and where the tube connects to the machine, but there are 2 clear plugs that are not identified in any paperwork, manual or video that I’ve found. I’m guessing they are extra attachments for the end of the hose maybe into a Jura brand milk container?? Any thoughts??
Hi LCW, Thanks for the question and sorry for the delayed reply! Yes those clear components are typically used to connect to other milk supply accessories. Marc
Hi! Thanks for this great review! I'm looking at buying the E6 (I'm not a milk coffee person). But, my husband drinks decaf from time to time. Is there a by-pass to put in already ground decaf w/o emptying the beans in the hopper? Thank you!
Hi CC&C, You are welcome! Unfortunately the Jura E6 and D6 models do not have pre-ground coffee bypass dosers. For the same price the Gaggia Magenta Prestige does: www.wholelattelove.com/products/gaggia-magenta-prestige-super-automatic-espresso-machine The Magenta has a host of other features you may be interested in as well. Here's a video on the machine with more: ruclips.net/video/OKXhAiuOdM8/видео.html Hope that helps! Marc
Marc, I realize this is machine is used a lot for espresso but I would prefer to use it for the regular coffee brewing. With my standard drip coffee maker the coffee comes out about 170F when it first gets into my coffee cup. I see below that this machine brews in the 195-205F which is plenty good so my question is have you any idea how hot it is once it fills an 8 oz cup?
Hi Larry, In cup temps depend on ambient temp, cup type, volume brewed etc so it's hard to give a solid answer. I use a Jura ENA Micro 90 daily at home for regular coffee and it uses the same brewing process as this machine. Brewing into a typical 8oz ceramic coffee cup the temp is just right for me. Not burn your tongue hot and not chuggable warm . I understand some want a really hot coffee and that's not me. Can't taste the coffee when it's that hot. Marc
@@Wholelattelovepage Thanks for the reply, yes, I understand it is hard to define what is hot enough for some people and not others. I just like to start with it pretty hot as it does cool down fairly quickly so if I could hit 170F to start that would be great for a few sips and then more drinkable a bit lower temp. Speaking of the Jura ENA Micro 90, will it or the Jura E6, allow me to brew a 8-10oz cup of coffee and use approx. 18 grams of coffee? That is about the ratio I now use with pour over.
williams sonoma is really pimping this one hard again and yeah i am thinking about it. fyi the newest version looks much, much nicer and sleeker than this older two tone version did, but otherwise seems the same features.
Hi rp, The type of milk used can change froth quality a bit. We prefer whole fat milk for creamy texture but most milks including non-dairy should produce a froth. Frothing performance can degrade if frothing components are not kept clean or are assembled incorrectly. Marc
Hi j, The Jura Bluetooth Smart Connect is compatible with the following Jura machines: J6, S8, E8, E6, D6, X8, WE8 Technical Requirements: Android-Version 5.1.1 or higher iOS-Version 10.3.2 or higher Bluetooth-Version 4.0 or higher

Hi Mark, If I pull a shot - with same coffee beans - on a Jura machine like the Jura E6 or even a S8 "mainly for cappuccino's or latte's" wich are my favorites , and I pull the same shot on a Rocket mozafiatto evo R or a Rocket cinquantotto, would I really taste a big difference in my "milky drinks" ?
What's the difference between the E6 and d6 machines? They looks and sound like they perform the same. But E6 has larger water tank n bean hopper and lcd screen otherwise they sound about the same.
Hey James, Thanks for the question. The Jura E6 does not have a one touch flat white on the menu but you can make one manually in 2 steps. First, Make a double espresso of ~2oz/60ml. Then do ~4oz/120ml of milk froth over the top. Those are typical volumes for a flat white. Of course you can program the amounts to match your preferences. Hope that helps! Marc
Marc, thanks for this review! We just bought an E6 from Jura's actual site, and I do not have the interval setting in the cappuccino feature. Do you know if this is something Jura has since removed?
Marc, thank you for the great review! If you want to me a Cappuccino with the E6 automatically, do you still have to worry on turning the Milk knob or can you leave it on the milk selection?
Hi Alex, You are welcome and thank you for the comment and question. With the E6 you will need to turn the knob - you cannot leave it in the milk position. Hope that helps! Marc
Hi Mike, "switch open" message is most commonly displayed when making milk drinks. It's telling you to open the switch upper right to start milk preparation for a drink.

For this Jura E6, it has 8 levels of coffee strength, how do i translate that to grams for each level? Is 1 bean equal to 2g of beans (Since max is 16g)? But when i weight the coffee grounds, it comes out to be ~8g of coffee grounds. How do i equate that?
Hi Stella, The coffee strength setting controls a ground coffee dose range of 5 - 16 grams. So set at the lowest strength setting the machine will grind about 5g. Set at highest strength it's about 16 grams. Understand dosing weights are approximate as bean types vary in density. Hope that helps! Marc
@@Wholelattelovepage if you change the strength of the coffee after you hit the button, how does it increase or decrease the amount of coffee used since it already started grinding the coffee once the button was pressed? Just trying to figure out if I should go into the expert mode and change the default settings for the type of coffee that I want before I press the button?
@wholelattelove Thanks for the very helpful video. One question, if you change the strength of the coffee after you hit the button, how does it increase or decrease the amount of coffee used since it already started grinding the coffee once the button was pressed? Just trying to figure out if I should go into the expert mode and change the default settings for the type of coffee that I want before I press the button or just buy the wifi adapter so I can program exactly what I want? Thanks for all of your help.
Hi MQ, It's a short window to make an on the fly strength adjustment but if you catch it while grinding the machine adjusts how long the grinder operates to change the strength. You can always program the strength prior to making a beverage and store that strength setting for future use.
Hi MF, Thanks for the question. The E6 is one of a few Jura machines which does not allow for using pre-ground coffee. The WE6 dose have pre-ground capability: www.wholelattelove.com/collections/super-automatic-espresso-machines/products/jura-we6-professional-automatic-coffee-machine Marc

Hi Ken, Thanks for the question. All Jura machines use a pick up tube to feed milk to a frothing device so that's not an option. But there are Gaggia Machines like the Cadorna Barista Plus which have a manual frothing wand: www.wholelattelove.com/products/gaggia-cadorna-plus or the Gaggia Accademia which has both a detachable carafe for automatic frothing and a manual steaming wand: www.wholelattelove.com/products/gaggia-accademia-espresso-machine Hope that helps! Marc
Hi Anne, The E6 should produce a milk temp in the sweet zone of 130-150F. Cooler temps can be caused by obstructions in the frothing component like dried milk residue. I recommend taking apart the frothing component and cleaning. Instruction for that on page 30-31 of this manual: us.jura.com/-/media/global/pdf/manuals-na/Home/E6/download_manual_e6_UL.pdf?la=en&hash=91D4BF431CA3D19E011E33A387D47BD2566439B4&em_force=true Marc

Hi RB, I love Jura's Smart Connect and J.O.E. App. I think it makes more sense on higher level Jura machines. It comes stock with their Z8. The app has a great UI and is very useful. You get complete control of the machine from the app including creating new drinks and customizing, maintenance, statistics and ordering thru voice assistants like Apple's Siri. Some more details on the app in my live demo of the Jura Z8: ruclips.net/video/f189JUynYSw/видео.html Marc
Even if you load it with quality beans, the steamed milk could be a bit better. The 3000 usd Jura machine we have at work died after 3 years and about 2000 to 2500 cups. Total repair cost us about 400 usd. It would have been cheaper to rent a machine. If you plan to use the machine at home I think there's just as much work cleaning it as using a manual machine.
Hi Eric you are welcome! Very easy. Just make a long coffee and then a single espresso over the top! Adjust lengths and strengths to your preference. Marc
Hi TK, One of the key features of Jura machines is no descaling required if you use recommended filter as directed. RFID in the filter makes it very easy for the end user with no manual setting required in menus to tell the machine the filter has been changed. I remember when Jura started using smart filters a few years ago and there was no change in pricing for filters with RFID. Marc

Sure it have grounded coffee by pass for decaf?
Thank you for the detailed Video. The question I have if can I use half and half or cream instead of milk in the E6?
Hi ds, you're welcome! HnH usually works well but results may vary depending on brand. Full cream is usually too thick to work.
So for the cappuccino, you still need someone to manually open and close the switch for the milk?
Yes
Does the app work with milk drinks? It looks like you have to be at the machine to start/stop the milk (?). What Jura machine would not require that extra step with the milk?
If you drink espresso mostly, would you recommend this machine or the gaggia magenta?
Hi Kara, Thanks for the question. If you drink mostly espresso I'd go with the Magenta Plus: www.wholelattelove.com/products/gaggia-magenta-plus-super-automatic-espresso-machine
The Magenta has more flexibility and is a newer design than the E6 - also costs a lot less even if you go for the Magenta Prestige which has the attachable milk carafe for 1 touch drinks. You'll have more dosing range on the Magentas. If you select a double espresso on the Magenta it will do 2 grind cycles yielding a ground coffee dose of up to 23g at max strength setting. Select a double espresso on the E6 and the machine does just one grind cycle with a max ground coffee dose of 16g. Typical double espresso these days is made using 18g. Beyond that the Magentas do a true one touch Americano. A drink many espresso lovers (and former filter coffee folks) enjoy for larger cups which retains the basic flavor characteristics of an espresso. Hope that helps!

So he used the same beans to make both a cappuccino and a regular coffee- what is he using- espresso beans or a medium/dark roast?
Hi sf, Any beans can be used for any brew method. When you purchase beans some may be labeled espresso - that's just a suggestion. Beans labeled espresso most often consist of (especially Italian style) a bean blend containing some amount of Robusta beans along with Arabica. Also tend to be at a medium or darker roast level.

I like hot coffee temperature. Are such machines good at producing high temperatures
Hi KS, Thanks for the question. Jura machines produce a hot cup. Internally they brew at 195-205F (90.5-96C). As the espresso/coffee travels to the cup it does cool. I understand some are seeking the hottest cup possible. Do know that professional tasters and roasters prefer tasting at much cooler temps typically in the 130-150F (54-66C). It’s near impossible to detect flavors in very hot or very cold beverages. One reason why poor quality coffee is served very hot and poor quality beer/wine is served cold. The closer a beverage is to body temp the easier it is to detect flavors.

Hi Marc love this channel, and your reviews are a huge help. I'm trying to understand if brewing 2 espresso or 2 coffee simultaneously results in weaker strength. I read somewhere that the Jura won't double the amount of coffee ground, and only doubles the water used. I imagine that would make it rather weak. any idea? thanks!
Hi CT, Thanks for the kind comment. That is true for many Jura machines - a single grind cycle is used when 2 cups are selected. You might take a look at Gaggia machines.

I have a Jura E6. I have my espresso programmed for 2 oz and full bean strength. When I press it twice for 2 drinks, I’m getting the same one puck in the coffee collector bin as usual, but I’m getting 2 drinks, each 2 oz. So I’m basically getting the same amount of espresso but with more water to make up the two drinks? There is only one portafiller inside and one tamper? So if I want two full strength espressos, I should make the 2 drinks separately? Thanks so much.
Hi CS, When you select 2 drinks the Jura increase the amount of coffee ground for those compared to the single so you should be seeing a larger puck of used coffee.
Can you confirm the settings for cappuccino please- is it still 1.5oz or more?
Let’s say we are used to buying Venti size cappuccinos from Starbucks… that’s an enormous cup… how do we achieve the same amount of volume with this Jura? And if we do double shot, do we set it at 1.5oz and just run extra shot? Or 3.0oz?
Hi sf, You can reprogram espresso volume to what you desire. The E6 will not do a second grind cycle for the extra espresso so it's more water through same amount of coffee. You could do an extra shot manually for extra large drinks. Or, there's a machine like the Gaggia Accademia which will do an extra grind cycle for milk drinks using the Boost function. The Accademia does have an XL cappuccino on the menu which can do a max of 3.4oz of espresso. If you use boost for that it will grind approx 23 grams of coffee split in 2 grind cycles. 23 grams is considered a triple shot. Milk for the XL capp can be set up to 10.3oz for total drink size of nearly 14oz. The Accademia is more expensive than the E6 but an excellent machine! It makes the best espresso I've ever had from an automatic machine and has an excellent user interface. Plus you can adjust/program the milk froth density to one of 4 levels on a per drink basis. Check it out in this video: ruclips.net/video/jZWS38_Jge4/видео.html

@@Wholelattelovepage thanks a lot. I looked at gaggia but didn’t like that it’s max strength is way lower than Jura’s 16g
I wonder if in the long term, like a few years, the cost begins to get closer to just buying nespresso pods over and over, and also add in being able to buy different varieties of beans
Nice usefulness review. I wonder why the big turn button is needed. Cheaper machines do this themselves
Hi Potato, Thanks for the comment. The E6 is a slightly older value priced Jura model. Other manufactures do have less expensive machines where that function is automatic. Jura machines tend to have slightly higher price points compared to other manufacturers products with similar features.
Marc
@@Wholelattelovepage do you think there is an taste difference in the older Jura and newer system of the D4.
@@yohvh Jura introduced PEP brewing (pulse extraction process) a few years back which is used for espresso/espresso containing drinks only and not larger coffees. To my taste the espresso made with PEP is better. It slows down the extraction and extracts more flavor. As a side benefit, one can get a good espresso and longer coffee without changing grind size. Without PEP you'd want grind set finer if drinking mostly espresso based beverages and coarser if doing mostly longer coffees.
Marc
Wonderful tutorial. MUST one own a "Smart"phone to use the Jura E6? I don't "do" smartphones / apps .
Hi Claudia, Thanks for the comment. You do not need smart phone to use the Jura E6.
Hope that helps!
Marc
Thank you for this, excellent information. I can't find how to add hot water to my cup after I've made the coffee...or for making teas or hot chocolate. is there a way?
Hi Catherine, Yes there is! Select "hot water" from the menu and it will dispense from the same spout milk does.
Marc
Does this work with "Hey Google"? Also can you use "Hey Google" to make a cappuccino or do you have to physically turn the milk frother on and off?
Hi Chris, I have not personally used in a "Google" environment but here are the tech requirements for the device:
Android-Version 5.1.1 or higher
iOS-Version 10.3.2 or higher
Bluetooth-Version 4.0 or higher
Jura support should be able to give you a more detailed response: us.jura.com/en/customer-care
Marc
Is app free for this machine?
Yes!
Great info!! I can't imagine that I am the only one here, but I have one extended family member that always has to be different. Can you bypass the grinder if someone wanted decaf or flavored beans instead of regular? Thanks!
Yes
When programming for a cappuccino with the Jura E6, if I choose a volume of up to 2.5 ounces, I will get espresso using the PEP. Correct? But if I use a higher volume of water, 3 or more ounces, the coffee will not be PEP espresso; instead, it will be the regular coffee. Correct? I don’t believe espresso can be pumped with more than 2.5 ounces of water. Am I correct? Thanks.
Hi CS, Thanks for the question and yes, you are correect. PEP is only used for espresso and milk based espresso beverages. When making regular long coffee the machine does not use PEP. This is true for all Jura machines with PEP capability.
Marc
Hey mark!
Thank you so much for this video… it is incredibly helpful. The only question I had was whether you use just coffee beans for all different drinks - espresso/coffee and cappuccino? Or should I buy espresso beans separately?
Hey Ashley, You are welcome for the video. And thanks for the question! Although the packaging of beans from some roasters may lead you to believe otherwise, the truth is there's no such thing as espresso beans. You can make any type of coffee or coffee beverage from any type of bean. So, there's no need to buy separate beans for espresso. That said, there are bean types which are more commonly used for espresso. Classic Italian style bean blends are a good example and beans like Lavazza Super Crema are a good example. Lately I've been drinking a lot of our very own Crema Wave. It's a modern take on the Italian blend. It uses a specialty grade beans in the blend - something you do not get from the majority of beans roasted in Italy. I use the Crema Wave to make espresso, flat whites and Americanos and enjoy it in all 3. Check it out here: www.wholelattelove.com/products/whole-latte-love-crema-wave-whole-bean-espresso
Marc
One more PEP question. In milk based drinks, if I set the volume higher than 2.5 ounces, say, 4 ounces for example for my cappacino, then the coffee in that cappacino will just be regular coffee. In order to get espresso in a milk based drink, I must program the volume to 2.5 ounces or less. Is that correct? Please explain.
Hi CS, Program volumes of espresso or coffee has no affect on using PEP. Use of PEP is determined by the drink being made. Espresso and milk-based espresso beverages always use PEP. Coffee does not use PEP brewing.
Marc
Marc, is there an easy way to change beans or must you wait until you’ve used them all? I got a new bag of Orphea and would like to use those but I feel like I will be mixing coffee beans at some point?
Hi e, Trying some of my favorite beans? It's kind of a pain on the E6. I'd get out what you can by hand. It has that finger protection grate in the hopper which blocks. That can be removed with a star drive tipped screw driver and you can get more out. Other than that I often use a powerful vacuum to suck beans from hoppers - of course you're sacrificing those. Enjoy the Orphea!
Marc
Hi! I like a dry cappuccino (lighter on the milk- more foam)- with this machine would I simply put less milk and decrease the number of seconds on the cappuccino milk setting? Also, does the tube have to be rinsed after each use? Thanks !
i wondered that too but i think you are right just set it for less seconds
Great review! I purchased the Jura E6 a couple of months ago and, unlike what I see in the presentation, my Jura does not have a pre-programmed Interval option for cappuccinos. I wonder if Jura decided it wasn't necessary.
Hi ES, Think the intervals are only available on Macchiato drinks.
Marc
@@Wholelattelovepage Thanks, Marc. The E6 you reviewed on 10/23/2019 had the interval option for cappuccinos. The one I got in November 2020 didn't. Not a big deal.
Does this machine have a latte option?
Hi Kc, The E6 does not have a latte option. The machine only makes milk drinks with milk froth prepared first and then the espresso. That's a cappuccino prep order. For latte you want a machine that does espresso first then milk. Heads up, it's rare to find a drink labeled a "latte" on these machines. That's because in Italian latte translates to milk. There are a few machines which have a drink labeled "caffe latte". Those machines tend to run a lot more $$. But if you want what we call a latte in North America look for machine which does a latte macchiato or flat white. Machines that make those have the capability to switch prep order of espresso and milk depending on the drink being made. The Gaggia Cadorna Prestige can flip prep order, has a much nicer user interface than the Jura and a much nicer price: www.wholelattelove.com/collections/super-automatic-espresso-machines/products/gaggia-cadorna-prestige
Marc
What is next ?
Mark if i am spending around $1000-$1300 for an all in one espresso machine do i go Jura e6 or Breville barista touch? Or is there better options. PS i love your channel
Hi SD, Thanks for the question. Depends on what's important to you. Operating the Barista Touch takes some effort and a bit of skill. Automatic machines like the E6 are about convenience. If you have the knowledge and skill the Barista Touch has the potential to produce a higher quality espresso. But, espresso from the E6 is very good and it'll be very good every time with no effort or skill required.
Marc

Thanks for your great reviews. I'm wondering how much quieter this is (grinding, etc.) from the D6. I recently got the D6 and it is quite loud compared to an older model Jura a friend has.
Hi Frank, You are welcome. The E6 is a quieter than the D6. The D6 grinder is to the side of the machine while the E6 is centered and a newer design. Tough to quantify difference in sound level but it's definitely not as loud.
Marc
Hi Mark, great video and very informative. I was planning on buying the new S8, but after watching this I think the E6 would probably suffice. We drink Aussie style flat whites so will never use the cappuccino option(we prefer the milk heated in the microwave), so I was wondering if there was a difference in the quality of the grind or the strength of the brew between the S8 and E6?
Hi t, They are essentially identical in brewing parameters. Both use the same grinder and brewing system. Difference comes down to UI features and drink options.
Marc
never use other options? never?? 🙀
Hello, what do you think, is better Jura D6/E6 or Gaggia CADORNA/MAGENTA PRESTIGE?

I am assembling a new E6 frother tube and connectors. It’s comes with four pieces, I’ve identified the two black plugs for inside the frother and where the tube connects to the machine, but there are 2 clear plugs that are not identified in any paperwork, manual or video that I’ve found. I’m guessing they are extra attachments for the end of the hose maybe into a Jura brand milk container?? Any thoughts??
Hi LCW, Thanks for the question and sorry for the delayed reply! Yes those clear components are typically used to connect to other milk supply accessories.

Hi! Thanks for this great review! I'm looking at buying the E6 (I'm not a milk coffee person). But, my husband drinks decaf from time to time. Is there a by-pass to put in already ground decaf w/o emptying the beans in the hopper? Thank you!

Marc, I realize this is machine is used a lot for espresso but I would prefer to use it for the regular coffee brewing. With my standard drip coffee maker the coffee comes out about 170F when it first gets into my coffee cup. I see below that this machine brews in the 195-205F which is plenty good so my question is have you any idea how hot it is once it fills an 8 oz cup?
Hi Larry, In cup temps depend on ambient temp, cup type, volume brewed etc so it's hard to give a solid answer. I use a Jura ENA Micro 90 daily at home for regular coffee and it uses the same brewing process as this machine. Brewing into a typical 8oz ceramic coffee cup the temp is just right for me. Not burn your tongue hot and not chuggable warm . I understand some want a really hot coffee and that's not me. Can't taste the coffee when it's that hot.
Marc
@@Wholelattelovepage Thanks for the reply, yes, I understand it is hard to define what is hot enough for some people and not others. I just like to start with it pretty hot as it does cool down fairly quickly so if I could hit 170F to start that would be great for a few sips and then more drinkable a bit lower temp. Speaking of the Jura ENA Micro 90, will it or the Jura E6, allow me to brew a 8-10oz cup of coffee and use approx. 18 grams of coffee? That is about the ratio I now use with pour over.
Excellent presentation of the E6!

williams sonoma is really pimping this one hard again and yeah i am thinking about it. fyi the newest version looks much, much nicer and sleeker than this older two tone version did, but otherwise seems the same features.
How do I get foam instead of hot steam milk?
Hi rp, The type of milk used can change froth quality a bit. We prefer whole fat milk for creamy texture but most milks including non-dairy should produce a froth. Frothing performance can degrade if frothing components are not kept clean or are assembled incorrectly.
Marc
I have used whole milk, oat milk, and coconut creamer. None makes a creamy foam, just hot milk

Hi Marc, is it possible to program it to make a flat white? or any way to make the flat white manually?
Hey James, Thanks for the question. The Jura E6 does not have a one touch flat white on the menu but you can make one manually in 2 steps. First, Make a double espresso of ~2oz/60ml. Then do ~4oz/120ml of milk froth over the top. Those are typical volumes for a flat white. Of course you can program the amounts to match your preferences. Hope that helps!

What kind of coffee was that
Hi MD, I was using Maromas Orphea coffee: www.wholelattelove.com/products/maromas-orphea-whole-bean-espresso
Marc
For this Jura E6, it has 8 levels of coffee strength, how do i translate that to grams for each level? Is 1 bean equal to 2g of beans (Since max is 16g)? But when i weight the coffee grounds, it comes out to be ~8g of coffee grounds. How do i equate that?
Hi Stella, The coffee strength setting controls a ground coffee dose range of 5 - 16 grams. So set at the lowest strength setting the machine will grind about 5g. Set at highest strength it's about 16 grams. Understand dosing weights are approximate as bean types vary in density. Hope that helps!
Marc
@@Wholelattelovepage if you change the strength of the coffee after you hit the button, how does it increase or decrease the amount of coffee used since it already started grinding the coffee once the button was pressed?

@wholelattelove Thanks for the very helpful video.

Thanks for all of your help.
Hi MQ, It's a short window to make an on the fly strength adjustment but if you catch it while grinding the machine adjusts how long the grinder operates to change the strength. You can always program the strength prior to making a beverage and store that strength setting for future use.

How to get hot milk in cappuccino in e6 ,mine is near cold
Hi Anne, The E6 should produce a milk temp in the sweet zone of 130-150F. Cooler temps can be caused by obstructions in the frothing component like dried milk residue. I recommend taking apart the frothing component and cleaning. Instruction for that on page 30-31 of this manual: us.jura.com/-/media/global/pdf/manuals-na/Home/E6/download_manual_e6_UL.pdf?la=en&hash=91D4BF431CA3D19E011E33A387D47BD2566439B4&em_force=true

Do you think this makes cappuccinos as good as the semi automatics?
Even if you load it with quality beans, the steamed milk could be a bit better. The 3000 usd Jura machine we have at work died after 3 years and about 2000 to 2500 cups. Total repair cost us about 400 usd. It would have been cheaper to rent a machine. If you plan to use the machine at home I think there's just as much work cleaning it as using a manual machine.

The RFID is also used so knockoff filters can't be used correctly.
Hi TK, One of the key features of Jura machines is no descaling required if you use recommended filter as directed.
