Frequently Asked Questions

Is the E8 better than the CM 6360? ▼
It depends on your priorities. The Jura E8 excels for users who want the Pulse Extraction Process (P.E.P.) for barista-quality espresso, while the Miele CM 6360 is the better choice if you prioritize OneTouch for Two and robust build quality.
How do the grinders compare? ▼
The E8 uses a Steel Conical (P.A.G.2), whereas the CM 6360 features a Steel Conical. While both are high-quality internal systems, they are sealed components. To prevent clogging and avoid expensive repairs, we strongly recommend using non-oily, medium-roast beans in both machines.
Which machine is easier to clean? ▼
Architectural Divide: The Jura E8 uses a Fixed brew group, while the Miele CM 6360 uses a Removable system. Removable groups allow for manual rinsing under a tap, whereas fixed groups rely entirely on automated chemical cleaning cycles.
Which machine costs more to maintain? ▼
The Jura E8 is generally more expensive to maintain over time. We project an estimated annual maintenance cost of $320 for the Jura versus $310 for the Miele, assuming average daily usage and strictly following the manufacturer's recommended replacement schedule.
Which machine handles oily coffee beans better? ▼
The Miele CM 6360 is more forgiving if you prefer dark, oily roasts. The Jura E8 has a higher oil sensitivity score, making its integrated grinder and brew unit more susceptible to rapid clogging and internal mechanical failure if fed oily beans regularly.
