Description
JURA J8 Twin Overview
The JURA J8 Twin is a compact super-automatic espresso machine that fits two Professional Aroma Grinders into one body. These third-generation grinders can run independently or in a 50/50 mix, so you can blend different coffees, sample beverages made with different roasts, or switch to decaf or half-caf drinks later in the day. They are fast and powerful yet quiet, and they enter a rest mode when idle, easing the load on the burrs so they last longer.
Brewing relies on the Pulse Extraction Process, which pulses water through the coffee puck, together with a variable brewing unit that doses up to 16 grams and 3D brewing technology that saturates the whole puck. Drinks are selected on a 6.7-inch full-color, tri-panel touchscreen called the Panorama Coffee Panel, whose picture icons give one-touch access to 31 customizable beverages that can be saved to up to four user profiles. An aroma control function sets coffee strength, and grind consistency, coffee volume and milk foam volume can be monitored and adjusted during brewing. The Coffee Eye checks that your cup is in place so a drink is not brewed into the drip tray, and the Sweet Foam Function blends syrups or liqueurs into milk as it froths for sweet lattes and flavored cappuccinos.

Are the J8 Twin grinders loud, and how do they protect the burrs?
The listing describes the grinders as fast and powerful yet quiet. They enter a rest mode when idle, which eases the load on the burrs so they last longer. The listing does not give a decibel figure or a burr size for the grinders.

What is the Sweet Foam Function on the J8 Twin?
Sweet Foam blends syrups or liqueurs into the milk as it froths, for sweet lattes and flavored cappuccinos. The Coffee Eye also confirms that a cup is in place, so a drink is not brewed into the drip tray.
