1 Preparing and using for the first time
1 Preparing and using for the first time
Visit us on the Internet. You can download short operating instruc-
tions for your machine from the JURA website (www.jura.com). You
will also find interesting and up-to-date information on your
IMPRESSA and on every aspect of coffee.
When setting up your IMPRESSA, please note the following:
UPlace the IMPRESSA on a horizontal surface that is not sensi-
tive to water.
UChoose a spot for your IMPRESSA 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 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 using the machine for the first time, you can choose whether
you want to operate IMPRESSA with or without the CLEARYL Blue
filter cartridge. If the water hardness is 10°dH or more, we recom-
mend using the filter cartridge. If you do not know the hardness of
your water, you can find this out first (see Chapter 1 ‘Preparing and
using for the first time – Determining the water hardness’).
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.

1 Preparing and using for the first time
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 oper-
ating, the grinder adjustment switch could be damaged.
T Only adjust the consistency of grind when the grinder is run-
ning.
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 storage compartment cover.
 < TPress the Espresso button to start preparation.
TTurn the grinder adjustment switch to the desired position
while the grinder is running.
The preset amount of water flows into the cup. Preparation
stops automatically.
TClose the storage compartment cover.
Daily maintenance of the machine and hygiene when handling milk,
coffee and water are key to a perfect coffee result in the cup every
time. You should therefore change the water daily.
Milk, sparkling mineral water or other liquids can damage the water
tank or the machine.
T Only fill the water tank with fresh, cold water.
TOpen the water tank cover.
TRemove the water tank and rinse it with cold water.
TFill the water tank with fresh, cold water and reinsert the

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.
EYou can stop the machine at any time while a specialty coffee,
steam or hot water is being prepared. Just press any button
(for a specialty coffee) or return the switch to its original posi-
tion (for steam and hot water).
EBefore the grinding operation you can select the coffee
strength by turning the Rotary Switch g: MILD, NORMAL,
STRONG or EXTRA.
EDuring the grinding operation you can select the coffee
strength of single products by turning the Rotary Switch g.
EDuring preparation, you can change the preset amount of
water or steam by turning the Rotary Switch g.
EYou can follow the current status of preparation on the pro-
gress bar.
EThe water volume is given as standard in ‘oz’. You can change
this setting to ‘ml’ in programming mode (see Chapter 4 ‘Per-
manent settings in programming mode – Unit for amount of
water’).
Coffee tastes best served hot. A cold porcelain cup cools the bever-
age – 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 –
Product settings’).

2 Preparation
You can choose to use a second coffee variety, for example decaf-
feinated 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 PRE-GROUND is displayed

EThe desired specialty coffee must be prepared within approx-
imately one minute after filling with the ground coffee. Oth-
erwise the IMPRESSA stops the operation and is once more
ready for use.
All specialty coffees with ground coffee are prepared following this
