[Used] Factory Serviced Jura Coffee Machines - S8 $999, E8 $599 & Free Delivery @ Jura Telephone Sales

650

This is my second post so apologize if there are errors. Here it goes:

This is a little secret or rather hard to find out about method of purchasing a factory refurbished Jura coffee machine directly from Jura Melbourne with 12 months warranty and most machines doing less than 100 cups of coffee. Secret because the website says $1899 so that puts off most people. HOWEVER, if you call like I did, they will connect you to the Melbourne sales team who will lower the price of S8 to $999 shipped with all retail items and you get full 12 months warranty. My machine had made 19 cups of coffee, so significant savings over retail. After I post this…expect a flood of S8's on Ebay and Marketplace — perhaps should have kept quiet and made a fortune :)

S8 for $999 - Must call Jura for that price.
https://au.jura.com/en/homeproducts/factory-service-machines…

E8 for $599 - Must call Jura for that price.
https://au.jura.com/en/homeproducts/factory-service-machines…

They have other models as well but you must call the number on Jura website.

Update: It is free shipping. And as for stock, I was told that stocks come in regularly as they updated to the Newer S8 version and same goes for other models.

    interesting idea, although who needs these sorts of machines at home when at a similar formfactor you can get a gagia or brevile db and for a super auto theres tons of options at the 400-600 range new

      Jura makes the best tasting coffee for a fully automatic coffee machine in my subjective opinion.

      • +3

        Jura (some) & Dr Coffee use a 16g coffee dose, the rest are 10-13g typically, so you're getting a richer, thicker coffee from them

      I've owned Jura machines since 2010 and think they are easily a step above delonghi/saecos etc

      Things like the Breville DB or Gaggia manuals are really a different experience - depends what you are after

      I had Delonghi Dinamica (was great) when that went kaput I tried the Phillip's 4400 but that was super loud and made water okay coffee when double brewed.

      Spent 1 month with a Jura E6 and was above the rest.

      But a Jura S8 for 999 is a bargain and best deal in the 700 to 1500 range. A brand new one is above 3k which is absurd and I could never justify that.

      Anything manual is a different thing.

      • Where can you try a Jura before buying?

        • +2

          My local HN has had tastings running whenever I've had the (dis)pleasure of visiting.

    • +1

      There's no Gaggia or dual boiler and grinder for 1k, let alone 600

      These are super autos. It's a totally different construct to a manual machine and grinder. People buy autos because they want less faff.

      Different price range, different experience.

      • -1

        you can 100% get dual boilers for 1k new and at times with grinder. gagia used just like this deal.

  • I'm wondering how 'new' those are?

    • +3

      Mine made a total of 19 cups of coffee so thats basically new.

      My 1 month old machine made 239 so this one is great.

      They all have 12 month retail warranty.

  • Nice one op! Just curious what gave you the idea to call them?

    • +1

      On the site it says that you can only buy through retail so thats when I called to find out and they sent me to their Melbourne showroom sales people.

      • Nice thanks

  • +5

    So this can only be achieved by calling the sales rep? Sounded like a forum post to me?

    Bought an automatic Jura machine years ago and paid a king’s ransom for it, plus extra for a five-year warranty. In the five years I had it, it broke down four times, each repair leaving me without an espresso machine for weeks at a time. Then it broke a fifth time just after the warranty expired, so I gave it away. Fool me once, Jura…

    • +2

      Sounds about right. I don't know why anyone would buy an auto for home use for exactly this reason. I see the appeal for an office though.

      For this budget you'd be better off getting a second hand E61 machine of some sort.

    • +1

      The problem with autos is cleaning.

      Coffee grinds and milk solids clog stuff really well.

      Every "breakdown" would most likely be a clean.

      As I said elsewhere, if you are a tinkerer and don't mind pressurised basket coffee with warm (not hot) milk…or you don't care about paying someone$499 to open and clean the machine…Jura is for you.

      If you aren't handy. Get a Delonghi. You can easily remove the brew group and rinse / lube without undoing the full outer cover to get to it

    Bought a 200 dollar jura ena years back and still going strong.

    • +5

      Probably the one I had fixed five times!

      • He said still going strong, probably not yours. 😂

  • +1

    I bought 2 machines from them in the past during their warehouse sale. No issues.

  • @CanuckChubbs thanks for sharing! What’s the chance you might’ve been one of few to get it at this price? Or did the sales rep give you an indication this would be the price for most people too?

    • Hi @Yaas, not sure I did not ask, but the sales rep said that phone orders are cheaper than what is listed on the web. It's worth a call and ask what they have in stock or incoming stock.

    Just buy a proper percolator. Machines are crap compared to them. Ask any Italian who KNOWS real coffee

    • Coffee from a mokka pot is ok, but it's not real espresso…. and I prefer my beans not to be roasted to a char.

      Europe stopped being the authority on coffee a while ago now

    I bought a Jura J9 for $100 a while back, owner was over the fixed price servicing.
    Brew group needed a clean, stepper motor getting stuck, grinder adjusted wrong (was service by Jura). Cleaned it up. Been good. Has now made 15600 coffees. Use it for a quick coffee while getting kids ready for school. Must rinse the milk tube (leave it full of water and plug it back in to rinse frother Do a shot of hot water). If not, the milk solids will clog it all up.

    Also have a Barista Express. Hard rubbish throw away. Real POS in stock form. Spring was set for 13psi, infusion from a single point, plastic elbows everywhere. Added an adjustable pump dimmer and set the spring at 9 bar. Used a piece of alfoil to make a dispersion screen under the shower head, and put in brass elbows. Infinitely better coffee than the Jura. But there is some finessing / concentration required. Use this for coffee number 2.

    Also have a Delonghi Magnifica. Key thing is to steam your milk first, then make coffee. The thermoblock works better coming from too hot. About the same as the Jura (works the same except the brew group goes with gravity, jura is upside down and goes against gravity). Manual steaming of milk takes a bit of effort. But will be hot. Jura won't make a hot milk froth.

    Jura is ok if you are a tinkerer and can think through how things work. If not..you will be forever paying $499 for someone to clean milk fat or coffee grinds from your machine. They sell for not much on the used market. Id buy one that way.

    As for the claim the machines had only done 19 coffees… they would have refurbed it and reset the counter. I could..but I'm happy to see how many it will make.

    P. S. The Delonghi has just over 4000 on it..no idea about the Barista express.

    • Yikes wow hitting 15K+!
      The (estimated) count of ~10K across 10yrs with my em7000 now feels like a slow runner at the country round (new buy when HN had clearance; have replaced thermo fuse, steam wand, and triac). Got pretty familiar with it and made some great coffees. Currently using Delonghi Prima Soul: have been pleasantly surprised by the quality and convenience (not close to great barista level, but consistently really good and easily customisable).

      • +2

        Em7000 is still a ripping machine today. Add a pump dimmer (motor speed controller) for $10 and you have a machine better than a Gagguino.

  • Does anyone have experience a Jura and a Breville Bambino Plus? I'm thinking of switching to a Jura but not sure if cappuccinos would be worse with this.

    • +1

      The reason you'd go from manual to super automatic will be for convenience. I doubt the Jura will be as good but that said Jura machines supposedly have amongst the best coffees of all automatics. I've been contemplating a Jura for a while now mainly for convenience.

      • Yeah only going there for convenience. Maybe I'll get an easier grinder. The setup with a manual grinder is a bit tiring even with a drill.

  • I find Jura machines make luke warm milk based coffee. I like my coffee extra hot like from Breville machines.

  • +1

    Jura machines rock. All I've used for years now.

  • I dont understand why Jura still use the same cleaning procedure after all these years. The big issue is the cleaning cycle does not clean the machine properly as you cannot take out the infuser to clean it. Those had open up a Jura will see how disgusting inside is.

    Delonghi is better that you can take the infuser out and clean it but the whole procedure is too complicated especially the lubication.

    Manual machine still the best when come to hygiene, and if your are lazy, just get one of the Oracle.

    That explains all the unwanted gifts of brand new Jura's on FB market place.

  • Don't these need much dialling in to be at their best? I ask because we have a j8 (I think) at work but it's always watery and weak…

    Any tips? Thanks

    • Its automatic in terms of the process of making coffee, not detecting how fast or slow your coffee is going nor how it taste like.

      You still have to test which grind size setting is good for the bean you are using. All the typical rules of making an espresso shots still applies.

  • Thanks

  • Has anyone managed to get this deal?
