This 57% discount on the Jura S8 automatic coffee machine is so good, I did a double take

As TechRadar’s coffee expert and custodian of our guide to the best coffee machines in Australia, you can rest assured I make it my mission to trial as many espresso machines as possible.

One brand that has, so far, eluded me, however, is Jura.

Judging by our Jura J10 and Jura Z10 reviews, that’s clearly a shame, as the Swiss brand is an expert in all things automatic coffee machines.

And that’s exactly why a massive 57% discount on the Jura S8 at The Good Guys piqued my curiosity and made me do a double take.

Plummeting from AU$3,690 to AU$1,589 , this is a prime opportunity to snap up an uber-premium bean-to-cup machine to take pride of place in your kitchen for years to come.

S8 (1561): was $3690 now $1589 This premium fully automatic coffee machine grinds, brews and froths milk at the touch of a button.

With 27 preset drinks available, including the ability to incorporate flavoured syrups, it’s essentially your own at-home barista.

Make sure to hit the Price Beat button the full saving.

View Deal While I do enjoy getting hands on with a coffee machine — I’m a huge fan of the KitchenAid Semi-Automatic , for example — in my mind an automatic model is ideal.

I can press a couple of buttons, pull up a saved recipe and have my coffee brewing whilst attending to other tasks.

The Jura S8 therefore looks like it could be my new best friend for a number of reasons.

Firstly, Jura has been making automatic coffee machines for around 40 years, so it arguably has the expertise to understand what makes a decent cuppa.

That experience extends to proprietary technologies, including its P.A.G.2 grinder with its seven selectable grind levels, an eighth-generation 3D brewing unit that passes water through coffee on multiple levels for a more even extraction and the use of the Pulse Extraction Process (P.E.P.) that pushes water through the puck in pulses rather than one uninterrupted flow, to optimise extraction time.

The 27 drinks can be customised to a great extent too, with 10 strength settings, programmable water and milk quantities and three brewing-temperature settings.
