trained staff in businesses, light industry and agri-
cultural facilities or for commercial use by non-pro-
fessionals. It should only be used for coffee prepa-
ration and to heat milk and water. Use for any other
purpose will be deemed improper. JURA Elektroap-
parate AG cannot accept any responsibility for the
consequences of improper use.
Before using the machine read these instructions
for use thoroughly and completely and comply

1 Preparing and using for the first time
JURA on the Internet Visit us on the Internet. You can download short operating instruc-
tions for your machine from the JURA website (www.jura.com). You
will also find interesting and up-to-date information on your X8 and
on every aspect of coffee.
Setting up the machine When setting up your X8, please note the following:
U Place the X8 on a horizontal surface that is not sensitive to
water.
U Choose a spot for your X8 which protects the machine against
overheating. Ensure that the ventilation slots are not covered.
Filling the bean container The aroma preservation cover of the bean container is lockable
(spanner supplied as standard).
CAUTION 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 con-
tainer.
Determining the water When you use the machine for the first time, you must set the water
hardness 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.
10
1 Preparing and using for the first time
First-time use When using the machine for the first time, you can choose whether
you want to operate X8 with or without the CLARIS Pro Smart filter
cartridge. As well as limescale, the filter cartridge filters many other
substances that impair aroma and flavour out of the water. These
substances may negatively affect the coffee. To enjoy the best qual-
ity coffee at all times, we recommend that you use CLARIS Pro
Smart.
E If you do not know the hardness of your water, you must find
this out first (see Chapter 1 ‘Preparing and using for the first
time – Determining the water hardness’).
11
1 Preparing and using for the first time
CAUTION Milk, sparkling mineral water or other liquids can damage the water
tank or the machine.

1 Preparing and using for the first time
Connecting milk 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 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.
Connecting an accessory Your X8 is equipped with the JURA Smart Connect. This allows you
(via Bluetooth) to connect the machine to a compatible accessory (e.g. the JURA
Cool Control Wireless milk cooler) via Bluetooth.

Coffee tastes best served hot. A cold porcelain cup cools the bever-
age – and impairs the taste. We therefore recommend prewarming
the cups. The full coffee aroma can develop only in prewarmed cups.
You can purchase a JURA cup warmer from your specialised dealer.
Espresso, coffee and Ristretto, espresso, coffee and special coffee are all prepared follow-
other speciality coffees ing this model.
For a pot of coffee, you can choose the number of brewing opera-
tions (1–5 strokes) in programming mode.
