It just needs to be cleaned, but not the clean cycles, you need to take it apart.The E8 actually comes apart pretty easily. The slightly oval 'rivet' looking things are actually just screws. They can be easily removed with a vise-grip or pliers. You will also have to remove some torx screws, so you will need to have a torx wrench on hand (actually 2 different sizes).The E8 error is simply coffee grounds clogging up the mechanism. Once you have the covers off, it is still a bit difficult to get at everything but it should be enough. Simply leaving it open and allowing it to dry out thouroughly seems to work in itself. I have actually just run a hairdryer in there to dry out the hard to reach grounds.However, I recommend plugging the unit in and watching it run through some rinse cycles. Use a flashlight to see, and then follow through with a dry cloth and get as much gound coffee out as possible.The other symptom which can easily be fixed when you have the machine apart is when water/coffee is pouring out above the intended release, i.e., not out of the spout. This happens just from being dirty and clogged and is super simple to fix and very satisfying! The front grey, plastic, sliding cover pops off and exposes all the residual coffee gunk that is giving you trouble. Just take it apart carefully and clean and your machine will be as good as new. Once you take it apart once, you will see it is not that difficult and you'll be happy:) We open it up about every 6-8 months now just to clean it. Trust me, when you see what builds up in there, you will want to also.Or you could send it away and spend $300-$500 for an upgrade. The worst part of that is being without your coffee machine for a few weeks.OF COURSE....be very careful when it is plugged in. Electricity kills :)I compare all of this in difficulty to......well, my wife can do it. So can my 10 yr old son. Probably if you can put together a piece of IKEA furniture and you know what a torx is, you can do this.
Error 8 -- Has anyone ever taken apart the grinder
I am also experiencing error 8. This a great coffee maker but after several years of use following the normal cleaning instructions just isn't enough. I can hear the machine straining after making a cup. I want to clean all parts inside, I got the front off and can lift the top a little. However there are what looks like 4 rivets on the back 2 at the top and 2 at the bottom. I cannot see how to get the top off and am afraid of breaking it.
Do you have any instructions on how to do this? Or can you tell me how to get the top off?
How do you take the top off?

I have the same machine and this seems to happen if the grounds bin is pulled out before it goes through a full cycle. take both the grounds and water trays out. Try to fit the grounds bin around the "elevator", slide the grounds tray underneath that then the water tray as well. It should slide right in then the machine will complete the cycle and work just fine :)

I had this same problem and called Jura Capresso. They had me straighten out a paper clip and stick it up each spout as far as I could and jiggle it around (after bringing the panel with the spouts down as far as possible) Then they said to **** the panel containing the spouts up and down several times and then press the rinse button. Repeat this process several times. That did the trick for me. They said sometimes the spouts get clogged and just need to be cleared.
I cant get the drawer
I had the same issue. Had to send it to Jura to be repaired. Cost $235.00 and they cleaned it and sent it back. I was not able to fix it myself. They said there was a major blockage.

I had the same issue. Had to send mine in for repair. Cost $235.00. Nothing I did would fix the issue. They said there was a major blockage. They cleaned it and sent it back. They also fixed my issue with water leaking from the frother.

Clean machine still on even after cleaning with cleaning tablet
Patti - I had the same problem yesterday with my E8. If you still have an issue, and have cleaned the tamper area like tech support will tell you to do, try this...Turn off the machine and remove the tray. Use your fingers to probe around the metal thing in the middle. You will find several areas where grounds accumulate. I found two areas in particular - one on each side of the center - where I had the motherload of old grounds. Remove all this, then clean out the chute where powder goes. Replace the tray, turn the unit back on and run a cleaning with no tablet. When it asks for the tablet, open the top door, wait a second, close the door and continue. If you got all the gunk out, you should complete the cleaning cycle with no issues. But seriously, you have to use your fingers for the clean out. You can't see, and q-tips don't work..so you have to feel around. Good luck and let me know how it goes.
Not getting thick plugs of grounds, more like
Hello, what level of grinding the coffee are you using? I think the highest level to make the finest grind is an 8 on this machine and in no way should you be grinding your coffee at this level. When you grind the coffee at its highest setting it causes the grinds to clump and will also cause blockages in the machine as well. If the unit were set to the finest setting sometimes also the grounds are so fine that the water is unable to go through the grounds which as I stated previously ends up causeing blockages in the machine as well. I will await your reply as to how fine of a grind that you are using. Thanks Rick

Hello
Turn off the main power switch. Once the machine has gone through its shut-down cycle you can unplug it.
Pull out the drip tray and dump box from the machine. Look inside the machine to find a plastic flap that is hanging down. This flap is spring loaded (you can pull on it to check) and depending on your machine's model the flap will be positioned in front or on the side. If the flap is positioned in front of you, cup your hand and place it straight into the machine to find the shower screen. If the flap is positioned on the side, cup your hand and place it sideways into the machine to locate the shower screen.
Place your fingers at the bottom edge of the flap. Move your fingers upward until you hit a round disk pointing down. Do not pull on the flap. The round disc is the shower screen which will likely be covered in wet coffee. Wipe the screen with a sturdy paper towel (one that does not leave pieces behind) until completely clean.
Return the drip tray and the dump box to the machine. Plug the machine in, turn it on and push the "rinse" button. Rinse the machine twice if desired before you start brewing again.
