3. WELCOME TO THE IMPRESSA C5
This fully automatic coffee center is extremely user friendly. Your
Impressa C5 can prepare one or two cups of crema coffee at a
time. The two-step pressure brewing system – well known in
commercial applications – was adapted and refined by Jura
coffee specialists and is the trademark of each Jura 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. Just select one of
four pre-programmed espresso or coffee settings and your
Impressa C5 will grind, tamp and brew your personal cup of
coffee. The integrated solid steel conical burr grinder grinds
beans to the preferred fineness. A separate funnel lets you use
pre-ground coffee. All coffee functions are programmable to your
own personal taste. Make any size cup of coffee between 1 and
16 oz. The Dual Frother Plus lets you froth and steam milk for
cappuccinos and lattes. The frother delivers unlimited amounts
of steam. The stainless steel lined ThermoBlock prevents water
from coming in contact with aluminum and allows you to brew
coffee immediately after frothing (no purging). The hot water
function lets you prepare tea and other beverages in seconds or
use it to pre-warm your coffee cups. All important functions such
as water level, bean container, used coffee container and water
filter are monitored automatically. You can program the machine
to turn itself off. The C5 has a beautiful symmetrical design with
piano black and chrome accents and a stainless steel grid.
njoy your Impressa C5!
3a. "CREMA COFFEE" AND PRESSURE BREWING
According to the majority of coffee experts, grinding, tamping
and brewing under high pressure is the ideal extracting process
for maximum flavor and aroma. Your Jura automatic coffee
center will always produce espresso and coffee with a thick,
foamy layer called "crema." The crema traps the fine aromatics
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
uropean restaurants and hotels serve only fresh pressured
9.

brewed coffee. xperiment with your new machine and prepare
yourself the best and most enjoyable cup of coffee!
3b. DIFFERENT COFFEE DRINKS
Here are some guidelines for the most popular coffee drinks:
• Ristretto: 1/2 to 1 oz. of coffee. Sweeten to taste
• spresso: 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: spresso plus 3 to 4 oz. of hot frothed milk.
• Latte: spresso plus 3-5 oz. steamed milk with little or no froth.
• Café Mocha: Make spresso then add chocolate syrup to the
milk before frothing/steaming.
xperiment 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. uropean espresso roasts are medium brown
with no or very little oils on the surface.
Please note: Dark, oily beans: see chapter 7.
4. PLEASE, DON’T... (or you void your warranty protection):
• Never pull out the drawer during the brewing process.
• Never fill instant coffee into the bean container or ground coffee
funnel; it can damage the brewing chamber.
• Never fill flavored or 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 18a).
• Never use mineral or carbonated water. You can use tap
water, spring water, distilled water and reverse osmosis water.
• 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.
