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 CLARIS Blue fil-
ter cartridge. If the water hardness is 10 °dH or more, we recommend
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 mains cable, there is a
danger of potentially fatal electric shock.
T Never use a machine which is damaged or has a defective
mains cable.

1 Preparing and using for the first time
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 4–8°C. We would therefore recom-
mend 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.

EYou can stop the machine at any time while a speciality coffee,
steam or hot water is being prepared. Just press any button
(for a speciality coffee) or return the switch to its original posi-
tion (for steam and hot water).
EDuring the grinding operation you can select the coffee

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 specialised dealer.
You can make permanent settings for all products in programming
mode (see Chapter 4 ‘Permanent settings in programming mode –
Adjusting the product settings’).
