1 Preparing and using for the first time
1 Preparing and using for the first time
Visit us on the Internet (www.jura.com). You will find interesting and
up-to-date information on your JURA and on every aspect of coffee.
When setting up your JURA, please note the following:
UPlace the JURA on a horizontal surface that is not sensitive to
water.
UChoose a spot for your JURA which protects the machine
against overheating. Ensure that the ventilation slots are not
covered.
Coffee beans which have been treated with additives (e.g. sugar),
ground coffee or freeze-dried coffee will damage the grinder.
T Only use roasted, untreated coffee beans to fill the bean
container.
TRemove the aroma preservation cover.
TRemove any dirt or foreign objects from inside the bean
container.
TFill the bean container with coffee beans and close the
aroma preservation cover.
When you use the machine for the first time, you must set the water
hardness. If you do not know the hardness of your water, you can
find this out first. Use the Aquadur®test strips supplied with the
machine.
THold the test strip briefly (for 1second) under flowing water.
Shake off the water.
TWait for about 1minute.

When using the machine for the first time, you can choose whether
you want to operate JURA with or without the CLEARYL Smart filter
cartridge. If the water hardness is 10°dH or more, we recommend
using the filter cartridge.
If the machine is operated with a defective power cord, there is a
danger of potentially fatal electric shock.
T Never use a machine which is damaged.
T Never use a machine which has a defective power cord.
EThe water volume is given as standard in ‘oz’. You can change
this setting to ‘ml’ in programming mode (see Chapter 4

Your JURA creates fine, creamy, feather-light milk foam with a
perfect consistency. The most important requirement for frothing
milk is a milk temperature of 39–46°F (4–8°C). We would therefore
recommend using a milk cooler or a vacuum milk container.
TRemove the protective cover from the professional fine
foam frother.
TConnect the milk pipe to the professional fine foam frother.
TConnect the other end of the milk pipe to a milk container
or immerse it in a milk carton.

Hot coffee, hot steam and hot water can cause scalding. Scalding is
a serious burn.
T Use extreme care when handling hot liquid or steam.
T Allow liquid to cool down before drinking.
T In the event of scalding, rinse affected area with cold water
and seek medical attention.
T Keep children AWAY.
EThe display shows four products you can prepare. Press the
‘>’ button to display more products.
EYou can stop the machine at any time while a specialty coffee
or hot water is being prepared. Just press any button.
EDuring the grinding operation you can select the
coffee strength of single products by pressing the ‘<’ and
‘>’ buttons.
EDuring preparation you can change the preset amounts
(e.g. water and amount of milk) by pressing the ‘<’ and
‘>’ buttons.
EThe water volume is given as standard in ‘oz’. You can change
this setting to ‘ml’ in programming mode (see Chapter 4
‘Permanent settings in programming mode – Unit for amount
of water’).
Coffee tastes best served hot. A cold porcelain cup cools the
beverage – and impairs the taste. We therefore recommend
prewarming the cups. The full coffee aroma can develop only in
prewarmed cups. You can purchase a JURA cup warmer from your
specialized dealer.
You can make permanent settings for all products in programming
mode (see Chapter 4 ‘Permanent settings in programming mode –
Adjusting the product settings’).
J WARNING

2 Preparation
Your JURA prepares latte macchiato, cappuccino and flat white at the
touch of a button. There is no need to move the glass or cup.
Example:Proceed as follows to prepare one latte macchiato.
Precondition:The specialty coffees with milk are displayed. Milk is
connected to the professional fine foam frother.
TPlace a glass under the professional fine foam frother.
EIf you are using the professional fine foam frother, turn the
selector switch to the Milk Foam positioné.
TPress the ‘Latte macchiato’ button.
‘Latte macchiato’ appears and the preset amount of milk
foam flows into the glass.
EThere is a short interval while the hot milk separates from
the milk foam. This allows the typical layers of a latte
macchiato to form. You can choose the length of this interval
in programming mode (see Chapter 4 ‘Permanent settings in
programming mode – Adjusting the product settings’).
Coffee preparation starts. The preset amount of water
for espresso flows into the glass. Preparation stops
automatically. Your JURA is once more ready for use.
To ensure that the professional fine foam frother always works
properly, you must clean it daily when you have been preparing milk
(see Chapter 5 ‘Maintenance – Cleaning the professional fine foam
frother’).
Example:Proceed as follows to prepare one coffee.
Precondition:The specialty coffees are displayed.
TPlace a cup under the coffee spout.

2 Preparation
You can choose to use a second coffee variety, for example
decaffeinated coffee, with the filter funnel for ground coffee.
ENever add more than two level measuring spoons of ground
coffee.
EUse ground coffee which is not ground too finely. Very fine
coffee can block up the system so that the coffee only comes
out in drips.
EIf you did not fill the machine with a sufficient amount of
ground coffee, ‘Not enough ground coffee’ is displayed and
the JURA stops the operation.
EThe desired specialty coffee must be prepared within
approximately one minute after filling with the ground coffee.
Otherwise the JURA stops the operation and is once more
ready for use.
All specialty coffees with ground coffee are always prepared
following the same model.
Example:Proceed as follows to prepare one espresso using ground
coffee.
Precondition:The specialty coffees are displayed.
TPlace an espresso cup under the coffee spout.
TOpen the powder chute cover.
‘Ground coffee’ / ‘Please add ground coffee’

TPress the ‘Espresso’ button.
Preparation starts. ‘Espresso’ appears and the preset amount
of water for espresso flows into the cup.
Preparation stops automatically. Your JURA is once more
ready for use.
It is easy to permanently adjust the amount of water for all single
products to the cup size. Adjust the amount once as shown in the
following example. Every time you prepare a drink in the future, this
amount will be dispensed.

TPress any button except ‘Cancel’ as soon as there is sufficient
coffee in the cup.
Preparation stops. ‘Saved’ appears briefly on the display. The
set amount of water for one coffee is permanently stored.
Your JURA is once more ready for use.
EYou can alter this setting at any time by repeating the above
procedure.
EYou can also permanently set the amounts for all single
products in programming mode (see Chapter 4 ‘Permanent
settings in programming mode – Adjusting the product
settings’).
You can adjust the grinder on a continuous scale to suit the degree
of roast of your coffee.
If you adjust the consistency of grind when the grinder is not
operating, the grinder adjustment switch could be damaged.
T Only adjust the consistency of grind when the grinder is
running.
The consistency of grind is correct if the coffee flows regularly from
the coffee spout. In addition a fine, thick crema forms.
Example: Proceed as follows to change the consistency of grind
during the preparation of an espresso.
TPlace a cup under the coffee spout.
TOpen the cover of the grinder adjustment switch.
