Jura - discounted J8 or full-price E8
Hi! Me and my wife have been eyeing a Jura superautomatic for a while now as a wedding anniversary gift to ourselves. We’ve been pretty much settled on the E8. However, there’s absolutely no discounts anywhere in the US for the 2024 model so it’s full MSRP ($2,499). Meanwhile, Jura store is currently running a deal for the J8 at $2,599.
So technically we’d be paying $100 extra for: - newer grinder (unless the E8 2024 got upgraded to the same one?) - sweet drinks - touchscreen - included WiFi connector - Coffee Eye
Am I missing something? Is there anything that the E8 does better than the J8? And most of all - is the $100 extra worth it in this case?
Just for additional context: a) at this point, budget-wise we’re pretty much fine with the MSRP. We do need a new machine pretty soon as the old one is having intermittent breakdowns so waiting months for a deal/Black Friday etc. is mostly out of the question. b) we don’t necessarily need the sweet drink features so I’m mostly wondering if the extra $100 is worth it for the grinder and convenience features.
