Important information
A defective machine is not safe and could cause injury or fire.To
avoid damage and any associated risk of injury or fire:
Never allow the power cable to trail, as someone could trip

1 IMPRESSA C5 –Click & Drink
JURA‘s avowed mission is to develop superior machines which
get the best out of every blend and roast of coffee.
This it delivers
through a unique, intelligent pre-brew system combined with loving
attention to detail.
The IMPRESSA C5 demonstrates just how wonderful a perfect
cup of coffee can taste and how easy it is to prepare one.Thus,
the further development of the IMPRESSA compact series is
setting new standards in coffee quality while at the same time
maintaining a visually pleasing appearance from every angle.
The smart control philosophy is especially to be admired. The
various speciality coffees can be selected simply and intuitively
using a single control element.
Click & Drink
Thanks to the revolutionary one-switch operation philosophy
with the smart Rotary Switch, you are only a single touch
of a button away from enjoying a perfect cup of coffee. To
make your choice, all you have to do is to rotate the switch
between coffee and Espresso, one or two cups. Just click the
control and seconds later you can be enjoying your drink.
Indicators
The easy-to-understand indicators light up in a regal red,
providing the information that you need. Just one click of
the Rotary Switch away, unobtrusively concealed, are the
maintenance buttons with associated indicators.
Height-adjustable coffee spout
Whether you are after a small cup of Espresso or a large
cup of breakfast coffee, the height-adjustable coffee spout,
which can be raised and lowered between 65 and 111 mm,
can be adjusted on a continuous scale to suit all sizes of
cup. This prevents coffee splashing on the machine and is
your guarantee of a rich, thick crema.The superior design
and feel of the machine are also evident.

The bean container has an aroma preservation cover. This will
ensure that your coffee beans retain their aroma for longer.
Coffee beans which have been treated with additives (e.g.sugar),
either pre-ground or in the form of freeze-dried coffee, will
damage the grinder.
Only use untreated coffee beans to refill the bean con-
tainer.

aroma preservation cover.
Remove any dirt or foreign objects inside the bean
container.
New machines contain an information sheet in the bean

2 Preparing and using your IMPRESSA for the first time
The harder the water is, the more frequently the IMPRESSA
needs to be descaled. It is therefore important to set the water
hardness.
However, if you are using the CLARIS plus filter cartridge
and have activated the filter, you will not be able to adjust
the water hardness.
The water hardness is set to level 3 in the factory.
The symbols in the symbol display show the configured degree
of water hardness. The number of symbols corresponds to the
relevant level.
You can find out what the water hardness is, using the Aquadur®
test strips enclosed in the Welcome Pack.
Hold the test strip briefly (for one second) under flowing
mains water. Shake off the water.
Wait for about 1 minute.
You will then be able to read the degree of water hard-
ness from the discoloration of the Aquadur®test strip
and the description on the packaging.
You can now configure the water hardness.

2 Preparing and using your IMPRESSA for the first time
Example: to change the water hardness from level 3 to level 4,
proceed as follows:
Precondition: your IMPRESSA must be switched off (standby
mode).
Open the access door.
b l Hold down the Descaling button until the Descaling indi-
cator blights up.

operating, the fineness of grind switch could be damaged.
Only adjust the fineness of grind when the grinder is running.
Our recommendations:
Select a fine setting for a light roast.
Select a coarse setting for a darker roast.
Example: to change the fineness of grinding during preparation
of a coffee, proceed as follows:
Open the cover of the bean container and remove the
aroma preservation cover.
Place a cup under the coffee spout.
