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 Z6 and
on every aspect of coffee.
If you need assistance with using your machine, you can find this at
www.jura.com/service.

settings’). Please note that the descriptions provided in the
following sections always refer to the default settings.
UThe star on the display indicates that the ‘Smart mode’ is
activated. This means that, after some time, the products on
the start screen will be rearranged according to your personal
preferences.
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.
The Z6 offers various ways of preparing a speciality coffee, milk or
hot water.
Preparation using the start screen: Simply press the correspond-
ing preparation button for the product shown on the display (start

2 Preparation
For the ‘caffè Barista’ and ‘lungo Barista’, the Z6 blends the coffee
with hot water using a special preparation method. This results in a
full-bodied speciality coffee which is particularly easy to digest. You
can change the amount of this additional water (see Chapter 4
‘Permanent settings in programming mode – Adjusting the product
settings’).
EThe ‘caffè Barista’ and ‘lungo Barista’ can also be prepared as
a double product.
You can choose to use a second coffee variety, for example decaf-
feinated coffee, with the powder chute for ground coffee.
Basic information about ground coffee:
UNever add more than two level measuring spoons of ground
coffee.
UUse 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.
UIf you did not fill the machine with a sufficient amount of
ground coffee, ‘Not enough ground coffee’ is displayed and
the Z6 stops the operation.
UThe desired speciality coffee must be prepared within approx-
imately one minute after filling with the ground coffee. Oth-
erwise the Z6 stops the operation and is once more ready for
use.
UAll speciality coffees with ground coffee are always prepared
following the same model.
Example:Proceed as follows to prepare a coffee using ground cof-
fee.
Precondition:The start screen is displayed.
TPlace a cup under the dual spout.
