the machine comes with the milk system cleaning container, a small bottle of milk system cleaning solution, milk tube for frothing milk, two cleaning tablets, one water filter and the manual. The milk container is sold separately.
#2 Is jura a1+ separate frother a better option than s8 if i only make 3 drinks a day?
The A1 (or the ENA 4) is perfect for 3 drinks a day, but the S8 has the ability to make milk drinks with one touch of a button. It is a choice of budget. You also have several other models between these two to consider. The D6, E6 and E8, for example.
#3 Do you need to clean the milk system if you only make coffee and espresso drinks, no milk?
No, the milk system only has to be cleaned daily, if there has been a milk drink session that day.
#4 What is the “midnight blue” version vs “chrome”? What part of the machine is midnight blue. It is hard to tell the difference between the two online
You are referring to “Midnight Silver”. The difference is only in the appearance of the front of the machine. The material is much the same. Chrome is a shiny mirror finish.
#5 Any problem with cleaning if I put the machine in a room that is not close to water source? For example, dining room.
The water tank can be removed and filled from the nearest faucet, or filled with a jug. The drip tray and grounds dump need to be removed regularly, and cleaned. It is easier with a nearby sink, but not impossible.
