JURA X4c – black coffee, plumbed in

The X4c is JURA’s black-coffee machine for the water supply: it connects to a tap with a 3/8 inch thread, so nobody fills a tank, and a 2.8 liter tank remains for places without a tap. The P.A.G.2 grinder, One-Touch Lungo and six one-touch buttons serve espresso, coffee and lungo for up to 80 cups a day. Bean container and tank lock, and MDB Connect and Payment Connect take a payment system.

Houseblend, 2 × 1 kg

Houseblend is our most popular espresso blend: full body, low acidity, notes of dark chocolate and cacao nibs.

Delivery, installation and tasting on site

We deliver your JURA X4c, install it and set grind and strength with the first bag of Houseblend. Then we do a tasting of our coffees with your team on site.

Before you decide, you can taste our coffees and see a JURA demo, at our roastery in Wetteren or at your place.

How JURA describes the X4c

JURA presents the X4c “For the first-class enjoyment of black speciality coffees”. It names catering, large offices, canteens and self-service areas, and says the design suits both design-led spaces and a caterer’s counter.

JURA stresses the Professional Aroma Grinder (P.A.G.2), which rests between preparations to last longer, and three brewing processes: One-Touch Lungo for americano and lungo, 3D brewing for café crème and the Pulse Extraction Process for espresso. For operators it points to the 3.5 inch display with six one-touch buttons, the lockable tank and bean container, payment through Pocket Pilot 3.0 or the MDB Interface 2.0, and the permanent water connection that refills the tank automatically, while the machine can also run from the tank alone, for example at a company event.

What our baristas think

Pick the X4c for a canteen, a workshop or a lobby where black coffee runs all day and a tap is within reach. Plumbing in removes the most common chore; the grounds container, about 40 servings, still needs emptying. Without a tap nearby, the JURA X4 with its 5 liter tank is the simpler choice; if people ask for cappuccino, go for the JURA X10c.

Frequently asked questions

How many people is the JURA X4c for?
JURA recommends up to 80 cups a day. Counting about 3.3 cups per person per working day, that is a team of around 24 people. Check your peak too: if everyone takes a coffee in the same ten minutes, size up.

What do we need on site?
A water tap with a 3/8 inch thread within reach of the machine, a power socket, and room to empty the grounds container and drip tray. Tell us what is there when you ask for a quote, so we can check the setup with you.

Can visitors or staff pay for a coffee on the JURA X4c?
The machine is ready for it: JURA lists Payment Connect, MDB Connect and MDB Interface 2.0, plus Pocket Pilot 2.0 and 3.0. The payment terminal or accessory is a separate item; tell us how you want people to pay and we include it in the quote.

Who keeps it clean, and how long does it take?
Your team can do it without a cleaner. Daily: empty the grounds container and the drip tray while the machine is switched on. When the machine asks for it, roughly every 180 preparations, run the cleaning program with a JURA cleaning tablet. Change the CLARIS filter when the machine signals it; with the filter in use you do not need to descale.

OR Coffee is listed by Bodart, the Belgian JURA importer, as an approved dealer for JURA professional.
