Two Boilers
Jura Giga 6 is a dual boiler machine. In general, water used for milk steaming has to be hotter than the water used for coffee brewing. In dual boiler machines while one boiler heats the water for coffee brewing the other boiler heats the water for milk steaming and since these two proccesses require different temperatures such machines are faster as both boilers work simultaneously as opposed to the single boiler ones, like Jura E8, which have to wait between steaming and brewing sessions.
Two Coffee Bean Hoppers
Jura Giga 6 has two hoppers for storing two types of coffee at the same time. You can create a unique blend by mixing coffee from both hoppers with variable proportions.
