3. WELCOME TO THE IMPRESSA Z5
This fully automatic coffee/espresso/cappuccino center is com-
pletely programmable and extremely user friendly. Your Impressa
Z5 prepares a cup of cappuccino or latte at a push of a button
without moving your cup, it brews one or two cups of crema
coffee or espressos at a time, it produces unlimited amounts of
hot frothed and hot steamed milk and delivers up to 16 oz. hot
water – all with a push of a button.
The two-step pressure brewing system – well known in com-
mercial applications – was adapted and refined by Jura coffee
specialists and is the trademark of each Jura-Capresso coffee
center. This Pre-Brew Aroma-System ensures optimal coffee
extraction and will finish every cup with a rich layer of "crema" –
proof for perfectly pressure brewed coffee and espresso. Your
Z5 grinds, tamps and brews completely automatically. The inte-
grated solid steel conical burr grinder grinds beans to the pre-
ferred fineness. A separate funnel lets you use pre-ground coffee.
All coffee, water and steam functions are programmable to your
own personal taste. Make any size cup between 1 and 16 oz.
With two stainless steel lined Thermo-Block heating systems
the Z5 is always ready to produce any kind of coffee drink with
no downtime. The hot water function lets you preparetea and
other beverages in seconds.
All important functions such as water level, bean container,
used coffee container and water filter aremonitored automatically.
You can program the machine to turn itself on and off, change
the language and check how many cups of coffee you made.
You can create your own names for any of the beverage buttons.
The beautiful, functional heavy duty die-cast metal front with its
stainless steel appointments, cup illumination and informative
LED display make the Z5 the most sophisticated and versatile
Super Automatic Coffee Center available today.
Enjoy your Impressa Z5!
3a. "CREMA COFFEE" AND PRESSURE BREWING
According to the majority of coffee experts, grinding, tamping
10.

and brewing under high pressure is the ideal extracting process
for maximum flavor and aroma. Your Jura-Capresso automatic
coffee center will always produce espresso and coffee with a
thick, foamy layer called "crema." The crema traps the fine aro-
matics and the light gaseous flavors that register on the palate.
The high pressure and the short brewing time prevent the
extraction of bitter oils and release less caffeine than any other
brewing method. You will always make the absolute freshest
and most aromatic cup of coffee. This is the reason why many
European restaurants and hotels serve only fresh pressured
brewed coffee. Experiment with your new machine and prepare
yourself the best and most enjoyable cup of coffee!
3b. DIFFERENT COFFEE DRINKS
Here aresome guidelines for the most popular coffee drinks:
• Ristretto: 1/2 to 1 oz. of coffee. Sweeten to taste.
•Espresso: 1 to 2 oz. coffee. Sweeten to taste.
• Double Shot: 3 to 4 oz. of coffee. Sweeten to taste.
• Crema Coffee: 5 to 8 oz. of coffee.
• Cappuccino: Espresso plus 3 to 4 oz. of hot frothed milk.
• Latte: Espresso plus 3-5 oz. steamed milk with little or no froth.
• Café Mocha: Make Espresso then add chocolate syrup to the
milk before frothing/steaming.
TIP:Experiment with the size of your milk based drinks. For
stronger coffee taste add more coffee, for more milk taste add
more frothed milk.
3c. COFFEE FACTS
•Caffeine is tasteless. A "strong" coffee or espresso is mostly
the result of the amount of coffee in relation to the amount of
water. The longer a bean is roasted, the less caffeine it has.
•Arabica and Robusta are two genetically different kinds of
beans. "Arabica" beans have more flavor and a little less caffeine
than "Robusta" beans which are mostly used in lower priced
coffees and instant coffees.
•Espresso is not a bean, it's the way the coffee is roasted and
prepared. Typical US espresso roasts result in darker beans with
an oily surface. European espresso roasts are medium brown
with no or very little oils on the surface.
All Display Messages Are Shown in RED
4. PLEASE, DON’T... (or you void your warranty protection):
• Never pull out the drawer during the brewing process. Only
pull the drawer when the display instructs you or when the
display shows COFFEE READY.
•Never fill instant coffee into the bean container or ground coffee
funnel; it can damage the brewing chamber.
• Never fill sugar coated coffee beans into the bean container.
• Never fill frozen beans into the bean container. If you store
beans in the freezer, let them thaw 3 to 4 hours before filling
them into the bean container.
• Never fill anything other than coffee beans into the bean
container (no chocolate, rice, nuts, spices, etc.)
• Never fill anything but fresh, cold clean water into the water
container, except when decalcifying (chapter 29).
• Never use mineral or carbonated water. You can use tap
water,bottled water,spring water,distilled water and reverse
osmosis water.
11.

• Never repair or open the machine yourself. All repairs should
be performed only by an authorized service center.
PLEASE, DO...
• Fill water tank with fresh, cold water only.
• Remove any foreign particles (small stones) from coffee beans.
• Let frozen beans thaw 3 to 4 hours before pouring them into
the bean container.

CUP ILLUMINATION (Fig. 1,7)
The cup illumination adds a dramatic touch to brewing coffee.
Providing the main power switch is on, you can activate the cup
illumination for 1 minute by pressing any button.
6. PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR THE FIRST TIME
• Make sure all accessories, literature and any other items are
removed from the bean container and the water tank.
• DO NOT install the Clearyl water filter now. (chapter 23)
• Make sure the machine sits on an even, flat surface and the
drawer, tray and used coffee container are inserted (Fig.1, Fig. 2).
• Plug-in machine.
6a. FILLING THE WATER TANK
Please note: Only use fresh, cold water. Never fill water tank
with carbonated water,milk or any other liquid.
• Open the Water Tank Lid, remove the water tank, rinse and fill
with fresh, cold water (Fig. 7).
• Replace water tank and make sure that the two slots are
engaged over the two hooks to secure the tank properly.
• Close lid.
6b. FILLING THE BEAN CONTAINER
Please note: To insure that your conical burr grinder will work
for a long time, do not use it with any kind of coated or flavored
12.

beans (all coating and flavors contain sugar or sugar substances).
Such coating can damage the burrs. Using such beans voids the
warranty. Have your coffee store grind the sugar coated beans
and use as described in the ground coffee funnel (chapter 20).
Please note: If you like flavored coffees we recommend to add
flavors to your coffee after brewing. This way you can use your
regular coffee beans in the bean container. Adding the flavors
after brewing lets you control the intensity much better than with
pre-flavored coffee. Your local coffee store typically carries a
variety of flavors.
• Open the Cover Lid (Fig.1,1).
Please note: The cover lid is spring activated. Push slightly
upwards on the right side finger indent and the lid will auto-
matically open.
•Remove the see-through Bean Container Safety Lid (Fig. 4).
Make sure the bean container is empty and clean. Fill beans
into the bean container.Replace the Safety Lid.
Attention:the machine will not work without the Safety Lid in
place. Close the Cover Lid.
Frozen Beans: Thaw 3 to 4 hours before adding to bean
container. This prevents moisture from seeping into the grinder.
Oily Beans: Beans with an oily surface tend to stick together.
This may prevent a continuous flow of beans from the bean
container into the burrs. As a result the grinder does not grind
enough coffee and you might get weak or no coffee at all.
Stir the beans in the bean container just before grinding.
Alternatively, you can also pour the beans in an open bowl and
let them sit for about 5 hours. The oils will evaporate (this will
not change the taste of your coffee). Then fill the beans into the
bean grinder. Now beans will feed into the burrs more easily.
6c. TURNING THE MACHINE ON
• Press the Main Power Switch at the bottom left in front of
the power cord (Fig. 3a). The On/Off button on top of the
machine illuminates (Fig. 3).
• Push the On/Off button on top of the machine. The display
will illuminate. PRESS RINSE.The Rinse Button (Fig. 3)
illuminates in blue.
• Place one cup underneath the Hot Water Spout (Fig. 1,6) and
one cup underneath the Auto Cappuccino System (Fig. 1,13).
• Push the Rinse Button. SYSTEM FILLS.The machine starts
pumping water into the system, until some water will come
through the cappuccino nozzle and the hot water spout.
During this operation the Rinse Button flashes.
WELCOME TO JURA
UNIT IS HEATING
PRESS RINSE
• Place a cup underneath the Dual Coffee Spouts (Fig. 1,5) and
push the Rinse Button. The machine will pump a bit of hot
water through the coffee spouts and will stop automatically.
COFFEE READY
•Place a cup underneath the Dual Coffee Spout and push the
1-cup Espresso Button (Fig. 3). The machine starts grinding
and brewing. The display might show FILL BEANS.
• Push the 1-cup Espresso Button again. Discard the first two
cups of coffee. Your next cup will be perfect.
Important: After the initial set up we recommend to leave the
Main Power Switch on for the next 24 hours. This will give the
13.

Z5 enough time to completely charge its internal back-up battery.
When fully charged, the internal battery will back up the clock for
up to eight weeks.
7. ADJUSTING THE GRINDER
You can adjust the grinder to the roast of your coffee.
We recommend the following:
Light roast: use a finer adjustment.
Dark roast: use a coarser adjustment.
• Open the Cover Lid (Fig. 1,1)
• While the grinder is running, turnthe Grind Selector to
the desired position (Fig. 4).
Coarser: Turn the dial towards the bean symbol.
Finer: Turn the dial away from the bean symbol.
Important: The grinding grade can only be adjusted while
the grinder is actually grinding.
8. DAILY PREPARATION
We recommend filling the water container every morning with
fresh, cold water. This will enhance the taste of your coffee.
• Make sure the Main Power Switch is on (Fig. 3a). In this case
the On/Off button on top is illuminated.
• Push the On/Off button on top of the machine. The display
shows MACHINE IS HEATING.After approx. 2 minutes the
display shows RINSE.
• Push the Rinse Button (Fig. 3). Hot water will warm up all
internal parts and pump through the coffee spouts. The water
will be caught in the drawer underneath. The rinse cycle stops
by itself and the display reads: COFFEE READY.You are now
ready to make coffee.
9. ONE-TOUCH BEVERAGE BUTTONS (Fig. 3)
The Z5 has eight beverage buttons. The first three buttons on
the left side produce beverages coming out of the Auto-
Cappuccino-System on the left side of the machine.
The forth button on the left side produces hot water through the
hot water spout (Fig.1,6).
The four buttons on the right side produce different kinds of
coffee beverages through the Dual Coffee Spout in the middle.
All beverage buttons arepre-set to certain volumes and
strengths (chapter 5).
10. BREWING COFFEE AND ESPRESSO
(1 Espresso, 2 Espressos, 1 Coffee, 2 Coffees)
The four buttons on the right side of the Operating Panel (Fig. 3)
deliver coffee through the Dual Coffee Spouts (Fig. 1,5).
• Place one or two cups underneath Dual Coffee Spouts and
push the desired button.
The Impressa Z5 will grind, tamp and then brew the coffee. It
uses a 2-step brewing process (Pre-Brew Aroma System).
First, it moistens the ground coffee (pre-brew phase), pauses
for a few seconds, and then starts the brewing process. The
display will show the name of the button you pushed, e.g.
1ESPRESSO and then the strength which was programmed
for this button, e.g. STRONG.The brewing process stops
automatically as soon as the programmed volume of coffee is
produced. When the display shows COFFEE READY you can
brew the next cup of coffee.
Very Important: After the brewing stops the Z5 will discard the
used coffee. Please do not try to pull out the drawer (Fig. 2)
during this time. It can seriously damage the machine. There
14.

is no need to pull out the drawer unless you see the message
EMPTY GROUNDS (chapter 27.4).
Please note: You can always stop the brewing process by
pressing the Rotary Dial or any of the eight beverage buttons.
This will not affect the pre-set values.
11. OVERRIDING STRENGTH AND CUP SIZE DURING
BREWING.
With the Z5’s override feature you are always able to change
certain settings just before brewing without affecting the pre-set
values. This is a great featureif you arein the mood for a different
kind of coffee which is not programmed. (For changing pre-set
values see chapter 25 and 26).
For the four coffee buttons on the right side, you can override
the strength and the coffee volume.
COFFEE READY
• First turn the Rotary Dial. It will display five different strength
settings XMILD,MILD,NORMAL,STRONG,XSTRONG.
•Select the one you like and then push one of the four coffee
buttons. Once you pushed the coffee button, the display will
again show the strength setting you just selected.
• You can now change the coffee volume.
• Turn the Rotary Dial and the display will show the coffee volume
in oz. Turnthe dial until the desired volume is set.
Please note: When you select a different strength you must
push one of the coffee buttons within the next 3 seconds,
otherwise the Z5 reverts back to COFFEE READY.
Please note: When you push one of the double cup buttons and
you change the volume, the display will always show the volume
per cup, e.g. if you choose 7 oz. the Z5 will actually brew a total
of 14 oz.
Example: The 1-cup Espresso button is programmed to
STRONG and approx. 1.5 OZ.
Assume you want to use this button to make a MILD 4 oz. cup.
COFFEE READY
• Turn the Rotary Dial until the display shows MILD,push the
1-cup Espresso button. The Z5 starts grinding and displays MILD.
• When it starts brewing, turn the Rotary Dial until the display
shows 4.0 OZ.
The next time you use the 1-cup Espresso button it will produce
the pre-set value STRONG, 1.5 oz..
12. AUTO CAPPUCCINO SYSTEM
The three buttons on the left side of the operating panel produce
beverages which are brewed through the Auto Cappuccino
System (Fig. 1,13). We recommend watching the DVD.
The Auto Cappuccino System has the following components:
•Dual fixed spouts coming out of the machine, (Fig. 5).
•Dial Component with the small removable venting tip (Fig. 5a).
•The removable Dual Nozzle system. The long system is already
attached to the machine. If you use tall cups or glasses you
can replace the long Dual Nozzle System with a shorter one
(Fig. 5b). It is included in the Welcome Pack.
The nozzle that is positioned closer to the machine will deliver
coffee, this is called the Coffee Nozzle (Fig. 5e). The nozzle in
the front will deliver hot steamed and frothed milk, this is
called the Milk Nozzle (Fig. 5e).
15.

Please note:There is a gap between the Coffee Nozzle and
the fixed coffee spout. (Fig. 5e) This is necessary to assure
proper coffee flow.
Please note: The Milk Nozzle should always be tightly connected
to the Dial Component (Fig. 5e) and the venting tip needs to
be clean and inserted to assure proper frothing action (Fig. 5a).
• A Thermal Milk Container with lid (Fig. 6a).
• Two stainless steel rods and two flexible hoses (Welcome Pack).
13. CAPPUCCINO AND LATTE
Make sure the Auto-Cappuccino-System is installed properly
(Fig. 5a – 5e).
• Fill cold milk into the Thermal Milk Container and assemble the
two stainless steel rods with the lid as shown in Fig. 6 .
• Attach the short flexible hose to the rod and insert the connector
into the Dial Component (Fig. 6a).
Cappuccino:The Dial points to the cup with saucer.Hot milk
and milk froth will be created (Fig. 5f).
Latte:The Dial points to the tall glass. Hot steamed milk with no
or very little froth will be created.
COFFEE READY
•Place a cappuccino cup underneath the Dual Nozzle System.
The cup should have at least a 8 oz. capacity.Make surethe
dial points to the cappuccino setting (Fig. 5f).
• Push the Cappuccino Button (Fig. 3).
CAPPUCCINO
The Z5 begins grinding the coffee and at the same time starts
siphoning the cold milk.
MILK 15 SEC.
Hot frothed milk is automatically delivered into your cup.
Frothing stops automatically.
3OZ. NORMAL.Now the Z5 automatically adds high pressure
brewed coffee and then stops automatically.
COFFEE READY
Tip: If you use a glass cup you can actually see how much froth
is created and how the coffee goes through the froth and sits
underneath the layer of milk froth. Slightly stir to distribute the
coffee evenly into the hot milk.
14. OVERRIDING THE CAPPUCCINO SETTINGS
As with the other buttons you can always override the pre-sets

Please note: Cold milk will stay fresh up to 8 hours in the thermal
milk container. Do not leave the milk sitting outside the refrigerator
over night.
Please note: If there is not enough milk in the milk container, the
frother nozzle will dispense steam only. Stop the frothing action
and refill the milk container.
Please note: If the Dial points to the cappuccino position and
you do not get froth on your milk, check the following items:
a. Make sureall connections are tight.
b. Remove the venting tip (Fig. 5a) and squeeze the bottom part.
Milk might have closed the venting lip. Replace venting tip.

System to remove any milk deposits.
COFFEE READY
• Turnthe selector switch back to the Cappuccino or Latte position.
Please note: If the CAPPU RINSE message appears and you
do not plan to use the milk or cappuccino button within the next
few minutes, we highly recommend to run this rinse cycle without
delay. Warm milk inside the dual nozzle will deteriorate within a
shortperiod of time and milk fats can create foul smells.
Please note: You can also perform a cappuccino rinsing cycle
manually using maintenance menu (chapter 26.1).

Please note: When you are finished using the cappuccino feature
for the day please proceed as follows:
a. Remove the Thermal Milk container and place in the refrigerator.
b. Remove the flexible hose on both ends and clean with hot water.
c. Pull off the Dial component and the Dual Nozzle and rinse
under warm water.
18. CAPPUCCINO CLEANING CYCLE
Milk contains fatty acids. Hot water alone may not always
remove milk fats completely. If you use the cappuccino feature
frequently or if you use the Z5 for commercial purposes we highly
recommend to perform this cleaning cycle daily. It will take less
than two minutes.
Please note: the Z5 will not prompt you to run this special cycle.
You need to activate the cycle through the maintenance menu.
One bottle of the solution is enclosed with your Z5. It will last
for approximately 20 cleaning cycles. For additional supplies see
chapter 34.
COFFEE READY
• Fill a container with approx. 6 oz. of water and add one cap of
the Cappuccino Cleaner (15ML or 1/2 oz.).
• Connect the long hose to the Dial component and insert the
other end into the container with the cleaning liquid (Fig. 15).
Make sure that the Dial points to the Latte or Frothing position
(not the steaming position!) (Fig. 5f).
• Place a container which can hold at least 12 oz. under the
Dual Nozzle System.
• Push and hold the Rotary Dial until you hear a beep.
The display shows FILTER.
• Turn the Rotary Dial until the display shows MAINTENANCE.

milk deposits.
NOTE: Should you lose the venting tip, you will find a spareone
included in the Welcome Pack.

20. USING PRE-GROUND COFFEE
You can also use pre-ground coffee, bypassing the grinder. This
comes in handy if someone requests decaf coffee or a decaf
cappuccino. You can also use the pre-ground funnel for ground
flavored coffee.
Please note: Never fill the funnel with instant coffee. Do not fill
the funnel with more than two scoops. The funnel is not a
storage container. If coffee is ground too fine it might be processed
veryslowly or the Z5 will interrupt the process altogether.
COFFEE READY
• Place one or two cups under the Dual Coffee Spouts or the
Auto Cappuccino System. Open the Cover Lid and then open
the Lid for Ground Coffee (Fig. 4). Opening this lid automati-
cally disengages the grinder. The display shows PRE-GROUND
FILL POWDER.
• Add one or two level scoops of pre-ground coffee into the funnel
and close the lid Fig. 12). The display shows PRE-GROUND
SELECT PRODUCT.
• Push any of the six coffee producing buttons. The Z5 will brew
the selected beverage. During brewing you can still change the
coffee volume by turning the Rotary Dial.
COFFEE READY
Please note: If you inadvertently opened the lid for the coffee
funnel, just close it. The Z5 will detect that thereis no coffee in
the funnel. The display will show PRE-GROUND NOT ENOUGH
and will returnto COFFEE READY.
Please note: After use of sugar coated or flavored coffee
through the pre-ground coffee funnel you may experience some
flavor transfer when switching back to your regular coffee. Select
the program RINSE UNIT in the maintenance section to run
some hot water through the coffee spouts (chapter 26.1)
21. USING HOT WATER
The Z5 can produce up to 16 oz. of hot water. This is great if you
want to produce a hot cup of tea or instant soup or if you want
to add some hot water to your coffee.
COFFEE READY
•Place a cup underneath the Hot Water Spout (Fig. 1,6)
• Push the Hot Water Button (Fig.3). The display shows HOT
WATER PORTION.
The pre-set is 6 oz. You can change the hot water volume during
brewing by turning the Rotary Dial. You can always stop the hot
water output by pushing any of the beverage buttons.
22. WATER CARE
Water is heated inside the Z5. With use, this leads to calcium
deposits forming inside the machine. With the Z5 you have the
following options to take careof the water:
Most convenient: Clearyl Water Filter Cartridge (chapter 23).
Least expensive: Decalcifying System (chapter 24 and 29).
Your Z5 is pre-set in the factory to automatically remind you to
decalcify based on a water hardness of 10º DH =13 grains. You
can change the water hardness setting to comply with the water
you areusing (chapter 24).
Please note: The Z5 will automatically remind you when it is
necessary to run certain water maintenance programs. It is
important that you follow those instructions. Otherwise your Z5
might break down.

23. CLEARYL WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE
The machine comes with one Clearyl Water Filter Cartridge. The
Clearyl cartridge
• Reduces the water hardness up to 75%.
• Removes (if present) up to 85% chlorine, up to 90% lead, up
to 95% copper and up to 67% aluminum.
• Cleans the water through an upward current principle (Fig. 9)
just before the brewing cycle starts, ensuring freshly filtered
water everytime you make coffee.
• Eliminates decalcifying except when using very hard water
(25 grains or higher), see chapter 24. In this case we recom-
mended to decalcify the Z5 once or twice a year.
• To reorder cartridges, see chapter 34.
23a. INSTALLING & ACTIVATING THE CLEARYL WATER
CARTRIDGE
