JURA E8 vs J8: NAD and NAA models

Compare articles, not just family names

The E8 in this comparison is NAD article 15722, with a P.A.G.2 grinder and a 3.5-inch color display. J8 is NAA article 15555, with a P.A.G.2+ grinder and touchscreen controls. Specifications from a different generation should not be substituted when comparing a retailer’s quote.

Both records describe automatic milk preparation and a thermoblock. Neither asks you to prepare a removable portafilter, but both still need beans, water, waste emptying and prescribed cleaning. Compare the maintenance routine as well as the menu.

Pay for the drinks and controls you will use

J8’s Sweet Foam function uses a syrup attachment to flavor milk foam. Decide whether that belongs in your household’s regular drink routine before treating it as a reason to upgrade. We do not infer a taste advantage from the grinder name or touchscreen.

Confirm the selected finish and article number, milk accessories, warranty and installation space. An older E8 sold under the same family name is not automatically the same purchase. If a listing leaves the generation unclear, ask the retailer before comparing its price with the documented model here.

The documented differences

Not verified means the evidence is incomplete, not that the feature is absent. Prices and retailer configurations remain on the individual product pages.
