3. WELCOME TO THE IMPRESSA J6

This fully automatic coffee center is completely programmable and extremely user friendly. Your Impressa J-series can prepare one or two cups of crema coffee at a time. The two-step pressure brewing system Ð well known in commercial applications Ð

was adapted and refined by Jura coffee specialists and is the

trademark of each Jura-Capresso coffee center. This Pre-Brew Aroma-System ensures optimal coffee extraction, and the powerful 18-bar pump will finish every cup with a rich layer of "crema" Ð proof of perfectly high-pressure brewed coffee. Just press one of the four coffee beverage buttons and your Impressa J6 will grind, tamp and brew your personal cup of coffee. The integrated solid steel conical burr grinder grinds beans to the correct fineness. A separate funnel lets you use pre-ground coffee. The stainless steel lined ThermoBlock heating system prevents water from coming in contact with aluminum and allows you to brew coffee immediately after frothing (no purging). All coffee, water and steam functions are programmable to your own personal taste. Brew coffee between 1 and 16 oz. The unique dual coffee spout moves up and down and in and out to accommodate a wide variety of cups. The frothXpress system is an automatic frothing system that takes the guess work out of steaming and frothing milk. If you prefer the traditional steaming and frothing, use the Dual Frother (stored in the storage compartment). The steam nozzle produces unlimited amount of steam. The hot water function lets you prepare tea and other beverages in seconds or use it to pre-warm your coffee cups. All important functions such as water level, bean container, used coffee container and water filter are monitored automatically. You can program the machine to turn itself on and off, change the language and check how many cups of coffee you made.

Smooth, clean lines, elegant accents and an all-encompassing attention to detail make the J6 an aesthetic masterpiece from any angle. High-end materials, a rich platinum metallic front treatment and tasteful chrome accents on top, compliment the

black or white finish. The cup/coffee illumination lets you enjoy the coffee preparation (Fig.1.13a). Enjoy your Impressa J6!

3.1BEAN-TO-CUP / ÒCREMA COFFEE" / HIGH PRESSURE BREWING

According to the majority of coffee experts, grinding the beans just before brewing, 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 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!

3.2 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

¥CafŽ Mocha: Add chocolate syrup to milk then steam and froth and add espresso.

Experiment with the size of your milk based drinks. For stronger coffee taste add more coffee, for more milk taste add more frothed milk.

3.3 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.

Please note: Dark, oily beans should be processed differently than medium brown beans: see chapter 7.

All Display Messages Are Shown in RED

4. PLEASE, DONÕT... (or you void your warranty protection):

¥Never pull out the drawer during the brewing process. Only pull the drawer when the display instructs you or when the display shows READY.

¥Never fill instant coffee into the bean container or ground coffee funnel; it can damage the brewing chamber.

¥Never fill sugar coated coffee beans into the bean container.

¥Never fill frozen beans into the bean container. If you store beans in the freezer, let them thaw 3 to 4 hours before filling them into the bean container.
