available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
C. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord
is used,
1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable powersupply cord or extension cord should be at least as

3. WELCOME TO THE IMPRESSA S AVANTGARDE SERIES
This fully automatic espresso coffee center is completely programmable and extremely user friendly. With two independent
stainless steel Thermoblock heating systems it can switch from
brewing coffee to frothing milk without any up- or down-time. It
can prepare 1 or 2 cups of excellent, professional quality espresso
or coffee at a time with just a push of a button. The two-step
pressure brewing system - well known in commercial applications - was adapted and refined by Jura coffee specialists and is
the trademark of each Jura-Capresso coffee center. This twostep brewing system ensures optimal coffee extraction and will
finish every cup with a rich layer of "crema" - proof for perfectly
pressure brewed coffee. The built-in low-noise, commercial conical burr grinder grinds beans to the correct fineness (6 settings).
A separate filler funnel lets you use pre-ground coffee. The second Thermoblock generates unlimited steam instantly. With the
Dual Frother Plus you can steam and froth (for cappuccino) or
just steam milk (for lattes). The unique frothXpress Plus system
siphons, heats, steams and froths milk automatically. You can
also program a specific amount of frothed/steamed milk and the
machine will always deliver the correct volume. A separate hot
water spout lets you prepare a cup of tea or any other hot beverage in seconds. With four pre-set coffee buttons, an A La
Carte button and the easy-to-use Rotary dial you can brew
exactly the coffee you desire.You can re-program cup size,
coffee strength and temperature. You can select from different
maintenance set-ups. The machine will automatically remind you
when to refill water, clean, change filter or decalcify. A special
section lets you check how many coffees you prepared with the
different coffee buttons.
3a. "CREMA COFFEE" AND PRESSURE BREWING
According to the majority of coffee experts, grinding, tamping
and brewing under high pressure is the ideal extracting process
for maximum flavor and aroma. Your Jura-Capresso automatic
coffee center will always produce espresso and coffee with a
thick, foamy layer called "crema." The crema traps the fine
9.
aromatics and the light gaseous flavors that register on the
palate.The high pressure and the short brewing time prevent the
extraction of bitter oils and release less caffeine than any other
brewing method. You will always make the absolute freshest
and most aromatic cup of coffee. This is the reason why many
European restaurants and hotels serve only fresh pressured
brewed coffee. Experiment with your new machine and prepare
yourself the best and most enjoyable cup of coffee!
3b. DIFFERENT COFFEE DRINKS
Here are some guidelines for the most popular coffee drinks:
• Ristretto: 1/2 to 1 oz. of coffee. Sweeten to taste.
• Espresso: 1 to 2 oz. coffee. Sweeten to taste.
• Double Shot: 3 to 4 oz. of coffee. Sweeten to taste.
• Crema Coffee: 5 to 8 oz. of coffee.
• Cappuccino: Espresso plus 3 to 4 oz. of hot frothed milk.
• Latte: Espresso plus 3-5 oz. steamed milk with little or no froth.
• Café Mocha: Make Espresso then add chocolate syrup to the
milk before frothing/steaming.
TIP: Experiment with the size of your milk based drinks. For
stronger coffee taste add more coffee, for more milk taste add
more frothed milk.
3c. COFFEE FACTS
• Caffeine is tasteless. A "strong" coffee or espresso is mostly
the result of the amount of coffee in relation to the amount of
water. The longer a bean is roasted, the less caffeine it has.
Arabica and Robusta are two genetically different kinds of
•
beans. "Arabica" beans have more flavor and a little less caffeine
than "Robusta" beans which are mostly used in lower priced
coffees and instant coffees.
Espresso is not a bean, it's the way the coffee is roasted and
•
prepared. Typical US espresso roasts result in darker beans with
an oily surface. European espresso roasts are medium brown
with no or very little oils on the surface.
