What reviewers say
CHIP and Coffeeness praised the espresso and creamy milk foam, while finding the button-operated display dated and criticising the extra-cost Wi-Fi connection. CHIP found the settings responsive and cleaning straightforward, but warm-up relatively slow. Coffeeness liked the quieter grinder and value within JURA’s range, yet preferred the older E8’s price and found Light Brew too cool for hot coffee without being cold brew.
