How to Clean and Maintain Your Jura X10 (and Similar Models)

How to clean your jura x10 (or jura x8) machine blackstag coffee machines

Have a Jura X10 in your office or at home? Keeping it clean is straightforward, with built-in prompts that guide you through most of the process.

The Jura X10 is designed to make both coffee making and everyday maintenance simple. The key is to follow the prompts when they appear, keep the right cleaning products on hand, and stay on top of a few regular jobs.

Follow the Machine’s Cleaning Prompts

One of the benefits of the Jura X10 is that you don’t need to be a coffee machine expert to look after it.

The machine will let you know when a rinse or cleaning programme is required and guide you through the steps on screen. Keeping up with these prompts helps keep the internal coffee system clean and your coffee tasting consistent.

Keep the Milk System Clean

If you’re making flat whites, cappuccinos and other milk-based coffees, the milk system needs regular attention too.

Follow the Jura cleaning process and use the appropriate milk system cleaning products. It’s also worth regularly checking the milk tubing and connections to make sure they’re clean and flowing properly.

If your X10 is paired with a Jura Cool Control fridge, remember to clean the milk container and any components that come into contact with milk as part of the routine.

Empty and Clean the Removable Parts

Empty the drip tray and coffee grounds container regularly and give them a proper clean rather than simply emptying them and putting them straight back.

It’s a small job, but it prevents old coffee residue from building up and keeps the whole coffee station cleaner.

Keep Your Cleaning Supplies Handy

There is nothing worse than the machine asking for a clean when you’ve run out of the product you need.

Keep a small supply of Jura cleaning products near the machine so staff can complete the cleaning cycle when prompted. In a workplace, it’s also a good idea to have someone responsible for checking that cleaning supplies haven’t run out.

Don’t Forget the Annual Service

Everyday cleaning and professional servicing are two different things.

Jura machines need to go to an authorised service agent for their annual service. Because this means being without your machine for a period of time, it pays to plan ahead.

Our tip? If your workplace is quieter over summer, that’s a good time to organise the service. You’ll have less disruption and your machine will be ready when everyone returns.

What About Other Jura Models?

Many of these basic principles apply to similar Jura models too: follow the prompts, keep the coffee and milk systems clean, regularly wash removable components, and stay on top of servicing.

Exact cleaning requirements can vary between models, so always follow the instructions for your particular machine.

A Little Regular Care Goes a Long Way

The Jura X10 is designed to make cleaning easy. Follow the built-in prompts, keep the milk system and removable components clean, have your cleaning products ready and plan ahead for the annual service.

A simple, consistent routine will help keep your machine running reliably and your coffee tasting great.
