Jura GIGA X8 Coffee Machine
It’s all inside the new GIGA X8: Two high-performance ceramic disc grinders guarantee reliable grinding results for many years which are sure to be precise, consistent, and even. A top innovation provides that extra special something: A.G.A. (Automatic Grinder Adjustment) – the electronically controlled automatic readjustment system. The Pulse Extraction Process (P.E.P.®) optimizes the extraction time for short specialties and CLEARYL Pro Smart delivers perfect water quality for a pure taste in combination with the Intelligent Water System (I.W.S.).
The GIGA X8 features a sophisticated height-adjustable dual spout, which finishes off-trend specialties with milk and milk foam to perfection thanks to fine foam technology. The speed function ensures specialty coffees in record time.
Increased power combined with the highest quality – that’s the new GIGA X8. The concise, 4.3” high-resolution touchscreen color display is both easy to understand and completely intuitive. The dishwasher-proof drip tray can easily be removed, emptied, and reinserted with just one hand. The center of gravity is ideally located to prevent any spillages. Simple, clean, quick, and convenient – this 5-star concept is incorporated down to the very last detail.

Jura GIGA X8 Pros
- Double Bean Hopper – The double bean hopper allows for a selection of beans to be used on the machine at a time. this is the perfect solution for an office that wants a decaf option.
- Milk Froth Quality and Latte Option – The froth on all Jura Automatic machines and especially the froth on all GIGA machines from mid-2014 utilizes the new fine foam frothing technology which means that the milk froth for cappuccinos and lattes comes out thick and creamy. The GIGA X8 also features a double milk frothing spout system which means it is possible to make two milk specialties (cappuccino, latte, milk froth) at the same time.
- Drink Options – The GIGA X8 features an impressive 32 drink options making it one of the most prolific machines out there. It is even equipped with technology to allow it to brew a whole pot of coffee to fulfill the filter coffee drinkers’ needs in your office.
- Water Tank Size – The GIGA X8 has a water tank capacity of 169 oz making it the perfect size for large offices that don’t have water plumbing facilities. The X8 can be connected directly to the water mains for offices with water connection capabilities.
- Jura App connectivity – The X8 can connect directly to the Jura APP available in the Android and IOS app store. The app allows you to make coffee directly from the App as well as gather as much information as desired relating to the drink selection and coffee quantity dispensed.
Jura GIGA X8 Cons
- Puck Container Size – The X8 can hold around 40 pucks of coffee before needing to be emptied. This relatively small holding means it can be a little frustrating to continuously clean.
- No Built-in Milk Storage Option – The GIGA range seems to solve all office coffee problems however there is still no built-in milk option. The cool control unit is available as a separate device.
