2 Preparing and using your IMPRESSA for the first time
This chapter provides you with the information you need to use your
IMPRESSA without any problems. You will prepare your IMPRESSA
step-by-step for your first coffee experience using it.
When setting up your IMPRESSA, please note the following:
pSet the IMPRESSA down on a horizontal surface that is not
sensitive to water.
pChoose a spot for your IMPRESSA which is protected against
overheating. Ensure that the ventilation slots are not covered.
To enjoy perfect coffee, we recommend that you change the water
every day.
Milk, mineral water or other liquids can damage the water tank or
the machine.
lOnly fill the water tank with fresh, cold water.

activated the filter, you will not be able to adjust the water
hardness.

3 Familiarising yourself with the control options
With the IMPRESSA, you can prepare an excellent coffee speciality
at the touch of a button. You also have the option of adjusting the
coffee strength and amount of water to your personal taste while
the coffee is brewing.
This chapter will show you how to operate the machine with the aid
of examples. To familiarise yourself with your IMPRESSA, we recom-
mendthatyoumakeapointofactivelytryingthefacilitiesdescribed
in this chapter. You will find this is well worthwhile.
Learn how to perform the following:
pPreparing drinks at the touch of a button
pAdjusting the settings on a one-off basis while your drink is
being prepared
pAdjusting the permanent cup size settings

gram can be found on the Internet at www.jura.com
.
Prepare your favourite coffee speciality at the touch of a button.
Allcoffeespecialitiesare preparedfollowingthis model atthetouch

oUnless you change the permanent settings, all coffee speci-
alities prepared at the touch of a button will have a coffee
strength of mild.

3 Familiarising yourself with the control options
Example: this is how to prepare an Espresso.
lPlace an Espresso cup under the coffee spout.
ä l Turn the Rotary Switch to the 1 Espresso setting a.
m l Press the Rotary Switch to initiate preparation of the
Espresso.
The 1 Espresso symbol awill now flash, and the pre-set
amount of water wll flow into the cup.
Drink preparation stops automatically.
You can change both the coffee strength and the amount of water
while your drink is being prepared. These settings are not saved.
One-off settings during coffee preparation always follow this
model.
oDuring the grinding operation, the light segments above the
Rotary Switch indicate the coffee strength. The coffee
strength can be altered while 1 Espresso or 1 coffee is being
prepared.
The coffee strength options available are as follows:
Coffee strength Shown in symbol display
Mild 1 light segment is illuminated
Normal 2 light segments are illuminated
Strong 3 light segments are illuminated
oDuring the brew operation, the light segments indicate the
amount of water. At this stage of the operation, you can
change the amount of water by turning the Rotary Switch.
Example: this is how to prepare a strong coffee.
lPlace a cup under the coffee spout.
ä l Turn the Rotary Switch to the 1 coffee setting d.
m l Press the Rotary Switch to initiate preparation of the coffee.

3 Familiarising yourself with the control options
ä l While the grinder is running, turn the Rotary Switch in a
clockwise direction until three light segments have lit up.
The grinding operation stops, brewing begins and the pre-
defined quantity of water flows into the cup.
Drink preparation stops automatically.
It is easy to adjust the amount of water for all coffee specialities to
thecupsizeforgood.Asinthefollowingexample,adjusttheamount
of water once. Every time you prepare a drink in the future, this
amount of water will be dispensed.
Permanentadjustmentofcupsizeworksthesamewayforallcoffee
specialities.
Example: to permanently adjust the amount of water for an
Espresso, you should proceed as follows:
lPlace an Espresso cup under the coffee spout.
ä l Turn the Rotary Switch to the 1 Espresso setting a.
m l Keep the Rotary Switch pressed down until the light seg-
ment flashes above the Rotary Switch.
Coffee preparation will start and the Espresso will flow into
the cup.
m l Press the Rotary Switch again when enough Espresso has
flown into the cup.
Espresso preparation will now stop. Your IMPRESSA will
remember the amount of water you have specified for an
Espresso for good.
oYou can alter these settings at any time by repeating the
above procedure.
Adjusting the perma-
nent cup size settings
