What is the right size machine for you?
I recently had an E8 and a We8 in for servicing. The machines function basically the same but their capacities are much different. The E8 has a 64 oz water container and a 10 ounce coffee bean capacity. The We8 has a whopping 101 ounce water tank capacity and will hold 17.7 ounces of coffee beans.
Size can matter. Larger machines are well suited for small to medium offices, having a 30 cup per day rating. This makes the We8 ideal for small to medium-sized offices. But don’t rule the larger machines out for home use! I am presently using a XJ9 with a one gallon water capacity and one pound bean hopper. The drudge container and drip tray are also large so I can brew 20 or more coffees before emptying, which is very convenient.
If you are comparing these two machines you can’t go wrong with either. Jura machines are known for producing the finest high-pressure-brewed coffee, expresso, cappuccino and lattes, cup by cup.

Oily beans are harmful to your machine. They clog up your machine. Oil will build up in your grinder, brew unit, causing the machine to need service. Systems of a clogged up machine are weak coffee and weak coffee stream output.
Keeping you machine clean will prevent issues and need for repair. We recommend using purified water. If you are using a filter, change it when your machines tells you to. If you choose not to use a filter, it's important to descale the machine periodically, which will prevent your heating until from corroding and needing possible replacement.
