The catch
Jura E8
A newer overseas E8 revision is not what the linked US 15648 is, since that is the seventeen-specialty version.
Side by side
Jura E8 vs Jura E6: Tank and hopper are unchanged, E8 clears taller milk cups
Quick verdict
The E8 adds flat white and latte macchiato choices along with a larger display and a taller milk-spout clearance. The E6 has the same tank and hopper and a shorter hot-drink menu.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
1.6 inches more milk-cup clearance on the E8
Compare against your actual glass height, since for taller latte drinks this can be a concrete compatibility advantage.
Where this comes from
6 - 4.4 = 1.6 inches of additional maximum cappuccino-spout clearance.
The catch
Jura E6
After milk drinks, clean the milk hose and spout.

In practice
Differences you will notice
1.6 inches more milk-cup clearance on the E8
Compare against your actual glass height, since for taller latte drinks this can be a concrete compatibility advantage.
How we worked this out
6 - 4.4 = 1.6 inches of additional maximum cappuccino-spout clearance.
The six extra selections only count if your drink is among them
A cappuccino-only owner may get little from the longer menu, whereas flat white and latte macchiato are practical additions.
How we worked this out
17 - 11 = 6 additional named selections, among them the flat white and latte macchiato options documented for the E8.
No capacity advantage is stated for E8 on refilling frequency
Water and bean storage are the same on both, so judge the upgrade by drinks, interface and cup fit.
How we worked this out
A 1.9 L tank and a 280 g bean container appear in both specifications.

Decision guide
How to decide
Extra flat white and latte macchiato choices, a larger display and taller milk-spout clearance are what the E8 brings. The E6 keeps the same tank and hopper and offers a shorter hot-drink menu.
Look at the recipe names before you count them
Variations of flat white, cortado and latte macchiato are among the E8’s seventeen selections. The E6’s eleven center on black coffee, espresso macchiato and cappuccino. An upgrade is only useful if it is a drink you order.
Refill hardware stays the same size
A 1.9-liter water tank, a 280-gram bean container and a five-to-sixteen-gram brewing unit are found on both. In this pairing, the E8 buys you no extra refill capacity.
Whether it fits can hinge on milk-spout clearance
The cappuccino spout on the E8 reaches six inches, against 4.4 on the E6. For that reason, a favorite tall latte glass can be a stronger reason to choose E8 than its larger screen.
