This product is currently unavailable. You can find similar model here.
The Jura IMPRESSA F8 Aroma+ TFT Coffee Machine is a machine that really is a more versatile coffee machine than your typical espresso/latte maker. There is an interesting sales pitch with this machine that it combines “elegance, convenience and reliability”, which suggests a good-looking, user-friendly machine with consistency in the different drink options.
The former is clearly true with the sleek, black cube with its minimalist look and metallic features. What about the other two claims? Is this the convenient, reliable model that homeowners are after?
How beneficial has this Jura IMPRESSA F8 been for those looking for the best home-brewed coffee.
There are high expectations for the quality of the drinks offered with this bean to cup espresso machine because of the combination of the integrated Aroma+ grinder, 15 bar pump and thermoblock tech, as well as the promise of 13 speciality coffees. There is a “revolutionary” fine milk foamer for lattes and cappuccinos, as well as options for more unusual drinks that casual coffee drinkers may not know.
Keen coffee lovers get to experiment in a way that most coffee machines don’t allow for. Each option receives praise for the consistency of the brew and most are happy with the quality.
Then there is that promise of convenience and ease of use. Here Jura include simple controls, such as the dial for the drink selection, as a colour display for all the details. Users can also add their four favourite drink to the start menu for faster selection.
There is also the option to customise recipes, which users find is surprisingly easy to do. There also seem to be few comments on the cleaning process, which suggests that this is pretty easy too.
What problems have users highlighted in their reviews for this Jura IMPRESSA F8 Coffee Machine?
It seems that this Jura IMPRESSA does well in meeting those initial aims. Yet, there are still some complaints made about the design and produce. While the coffee produced is diverse and fairly consistent, there are some coffee lovers that feel that it is not strong enough. Others highlight the poor temperature, believing the thermoblock tech should add a little more heat.
The ease of use with this espresso machine is hindered slightly by the fact that the beans are loaded at the back, where a more forward-facing, top-loading system would be more convenient in a small kitchen space. Finally, there are those that feel it is a little expensive.
Summary: is this Jura F8 13-option Espresso Machine still recommendable with these comments in mind?
This idea of this bean to cup coffee machine being too expensive is an interesting point here. It all depends on the use that buyers get from the machine. People that want a strong espresso each morning and the odd cappuccino during the weak won’t get their money’s worth from this machine. That is because it is designed for those that want to play with options and drink a range of drinks on a regular basis.
The user-friendly controls and range of quality drinks mean that this Jura espresso machine is recommendable to the right user. With a few tweaks to the design and temperature, it could be a 5 star model.
