The WE8 sits in JURA’s professional line and is designed specifically for small offices and business environments that want barista-level coffee without hiring a barista.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, \"good\" depends on how your team actually drinks coffee: volume, drink variety, milk-based drinks vs. black coffee, and how much time you want to spend on cleaning and refilling. Below, we’ll walk through how the JURA WE8 performs in a 5–15 person office, and when you might want to step up to a higher-end JURA like the JURA J8 TWIN, JURA Z10, JURA GIGA X8, or JURA GIGA 10.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQuick Answer: When the JURA WE8 Fits a 5–15 Person Office\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor an office of 5–15 employees, the JURA WE8 is an excellent fit if:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eYour team makes roughly 20–40 drinks per day (not 80–100).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMost people drink espresso, Americano, or classic milk drinks like cappuccino and latte macchiato.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eYou want a simple, professional machine that is easy to use and maintain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eYou’re okay with refilling beans and water once or twice during a busy day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf your office is closer to a café in terms of volume, or if you have many milk-drink lovers hitting the machine all day, you may want to consider a more powerful model such as the JURA GIGA X8 or GIGA 10.
