1 Preparing and using for the first time
Visit us on the Internet.
You can download short operating instructions 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
sensitive 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
recommend using the filter cartridge. If you do not know the hard-
ness of your water, you can find this out first (see Chapter 1 ‘Prepar-
ing and using for the first time – Determining the water hardness’).

Your IMPRESSA 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 fine foam frother.
TConnect the milk pipe to the fine foam frother. Use the short
pipe for a milk container and the long pipe for a milk carton.
TConnect the other end of the milk pipe to a milk container
or immerse it in a milk carton.
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
tank.
TClose the water tank cover.

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).
EDuring the grinding operation you can select the coffee
strength of single products by turning the Rotary Switch g:
mild (;), normal (;;), strong (;;;), extra strong (;;;;).
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 display.
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 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 –
Adjusting the product settings’).
