Jura E8 – Odkamienianie poradnik krok po kroku

The process of descaling is one of the most important maintenance activities. Very often failures of espresso machines are caused by "calcification" of the device. In practice, this means that lime deposits formed in the coffee machine as a result of high water hardness reduce the possible flow. As a result of this process, the device makes coffee very slowly with a reduced temperature of the drink and completely changes its taste. Decalcification of the coffee maker should be carried out regularly to avoid the above-mentioned problems and extend the life of our device.

Jura E8 Step-by-Step Decalcification

If the espresso machine in the cockpit and during shutdown displays a red pictogram with the word "Decalcification", the decalcification process should be carried out.

We use a cleaning agent COFFIX Descaler ECO, which is ideal for descaling the JURA E8 espresso machine.

We carry out the process as follows:

Press the >Decalcification< button.
Press the >Start< button.
If you use a water filter, remove it for descaling and immerse it in water.
Remove and empty the water tray and grounds container.
Insert the emptied drip tray with the grounds container.
Express displays >Add Descaler<..

Remove and empty the water tank.
Prepare a descaling solution according to the ratio of 1:10.
500 ml WATER and 50 ml COFFIX Descaler ECO.
Fill the empty water tank with the solution and put it in place.

Set one dish at a time under the spouts.
Press the button >Further<..
The espresso machine performs the process of descaling.

Remove and empty the water tray and grounds container.
Insert the emptied drip tray with the grounds container.
Express displays >Rinse the water tank<. >Fill the water tank<.

Empty the substituted dishes and place them back under the coffee spout and under the milk frothing nozzle.
Take out the water tank and thoroughly rinse it of the descaler residue.
Fill the tank with fresh water and put it in place.

Press the button >Further<.. The espresso machine continues the descaling process.
Remove and empty the water tray and grounds container and reassemble.
The decalcification process is complete. If we use the water filter we put it back on.

Worth knowing

Two important factors affect the frequency of the descaling process:

Set water hardness - When we first start up, we test and set the water hardness of our appliance to determine the water parameters and the frequency of the descaling process. Therefore, it is important that the water hardness is tested correctly.

Water filter - Use of a water filter COFFIX CF101(High-quality filter replacement - like Jura Claris) improves the taste of the coffee, but most importantly reduces the amount of limescale deposited inside the machine. So it's worth taking care of your machine and changing the water filter regularly.
