3a. "CREMA COFFEE" AND PRESSURE BREWING
According to the majority of coffee experts, grinding, tamping
10.
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 aro-
matics 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!
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.
All Display Messages Are Shown in RED
4. PLEASE, DON’T... (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 COFFEE 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.
• Never fill anything other than coffee beans into the bean
container (no chocolate, rice, nuts, spices, etc.)
• Never fill anything but fresh, cold clean water into the water
container, except when decalcifying (chapter 29).
• Never use mineral or carbonated water. You can use tap
water, bottled water, spring water, distilled water and reverse
osmosis water.
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.

removed from the bean container and the water tank.
• DO NOT install the Clearyl water filter now. (chapter 23)
• Make sure the machine sits on an even, flat surface and the
drawer, tray and used coffee container are inserted (Fig.1, Fig. 2).
• Plug-in machine.

Please note: Only use fresh, cold water. Never fill water tank
with carbonated water, milk or any other liquid.
• Open the Water Tank Lid, remove the water tank, rinse and fill
with fresh, cold water (Fig. 7).
• Replace water tank and make sure that the two slots are
engaged over the two hooks to secure the tank properly.
• Close lid.

warranty. Have your coffee store grind the sugar coated beans
and use as described in the ground coffee funnel (chapter 20).
Please note: If you like flavored coffees we recommend to add
flavors to your coffee after brewing. This way you can use your
regular coffee beans in the bean container. Adding the flavors
after brewing lets you control the intensity much better than with

WELCOME TO JURA
UNIT IS HEATING
PRESS RINSE
• Place a cup underneath the Dual Coffee Spouts (Fig. 1,5) and
push the Rinse Button. The machine will pump a bit of hot
water through the coffee spouts and will stop automatically.
COFFEE READY
• Open the Cover Lid (Fig.1,1).
Please note: The cover lid is spring activated. Push slightly
upwards on the right side finger indent and the lid will auto-
matically open.
• Remove the see-through Bean Container Safety Lid (Fig. 4).
Make sure the bean container is empty and clean. Fill beans
into the bean container. Replace the Safety Lid.
Attention: the machine will not work without the Safety Lid in
place. Close the Cover Lid.
Frozen Beans: Thaw 3 to 4 hours before adding to bean
container. This prevents moisture from seeping into the grinder.
Oily Beans: Beans with an oily surface tend to stick together.
This may prevent a continuous flow of beans from the bean
container into the burrs. As a result the grinder does not grind
enough coffee and you might get weak or no coffee at all.
Stir the beans in the bean container just before grinding.
Alternatively, you can also pour the beans in an open bowl and
let them sit for about 5 hours. The oils will evaporate (this will
• Place a cup underneath the Dual Coffee Spout and push the
1-cup Espresso Button (Fig. 3). The machine starts grinding
and brewing. The display might show FILL BEANS.
• Push the 1-cup Espresso Button again. Discard the first two
cups of coffee. Your next cup will be perfect.
Important: After the initial set up we recommend to leave the
Main Power Switch on for the next 24 hours. This will give the
13.
Z5 enough time to completely charge its internal back-up battery.
When fully charged, the internal battery will back up the clock for
up to eight weeks.
9. ONE-TOUCH BEVERAGE BUTTONS (Fig. 3)
The Z5 has eight beverage buttons. The first three buttons on
the left side produce beverages coming out of the Auto-
Cappuccino-System on the left side of the machine.
The forth button on the left side produces hot water through the
hot water spout (Fig.1,6).
The four buttons on the right side produce different kinds of
coffee beverages through the Dual Coffee Spout in the middle.
All beverage buttons are pre-set to certain volumes and
strengths (chapter 5).
7. ADJUSTING THE GRINDER
You can adjust the grinder to the roast of your coffee.
We recommend the following:
Light roast: use a finer adjustment.
Dark roast: use a coarser adjustment.
• Open the Cover Lid (Fig. 1,1)
• While the grinder is running, turn the Grind Selector to
the desired position (Fig. 4).
Coarser: Turn the dial towards the bean symbol.
Finer: Turn the dial away from the bean symbol.
Important: The grinding grade can only be adjusted while
the grinder is actually grinding.
10. BREWING COFFEE AND ESPRESSO
(1 Espresso, 2 Espressos, 1 Coffee, 2 Coffees)
The four buttons on the right side of the Operating Panel (Fig. 3)
deliver coffee through the Dual Coffee Spouts (Fig. 1,5).
• Place one or two cups underneath Dual Coffee Spouts and
push the desired button.
The Impressa Z5 will grind, tamp and then brew the coffee. It
uses a 2-step brewing process (Pre-Brew Aroma System).
First, it moistens the ground coffee (pre-brew phase), pauses
for a few seconds, and then starts the brewing process. The
display will show the name of the button you pushed, e.g.
1 ESPRESSO and then the strength which was programmed
for this button, e.g. STRONG. The brewing process stops
automatically as soon as the programmed volume of coffee is
produced. When the display shows COFFEE READY you can
brew the next cup of coffee.
8. DAILY PREPARATION
We recommend filling the water container every morning with
fresh, cold water. This will enhance the taste of your coffee.
• Make sure the Main Power Switch is on (Fig. 3a). In this case
the On/Off button on top is illuminated.
• Push the On/Off button on top of the machine. The display
shows MACHINE IS HEATING. After approx. 2 minutes the
display shows RINSE.
• Push the Rinse Button (Fig. 3). Hot water will warm up all
internal parts and pump through the coffee spouts. The water
will be caught in the drawer underneath. The rinse cycle stops
by itself and the display reads: COFFEE READY. You are now
ready to make coffee.
Very Important: After the brewing stops the Z5 will discard the
used coffee. Please do not try to pull out the drawer (Fig. 2)
during this time. It can seriously damage the machine. There

per cup, e.g. if you choose 7 oz. the Z5 will actually brew a total
of 14 oz.
Please note: You can always stop the brewing process by
pressing the Rotary Dial or any of the eight beverage buttons.
This will not affect the pre-set values.
Example: The 1-cup Espresso button is programmed to
STRONG and approx. 1.5 OZ.
Assume you want to use this button to make a MILD 4 oz. cup.
COFFEE READY
• Turn the Rotary Dial until the display shows MILD, push the
1-cup Espresso button. The Z5 starts grinding and displays MILD.
• When it starts brewing, turn the Rotary Dial until the display
shows 4.0 OZ.
11. OVERRIDING STRENGTH AND CUP SIZE DURING
BREWING.
With the Z5’s override feature you are always able to change
certain settings just before brewing without affecting the pre-set
values. This is a great feature if you are in the mood for a different
kind of coffee which is not programmed. (For changing pre-set
values see chapter 25 and 26).
The next time you use the 1-cup Espresso button it will produce
the pre-set value STRONG, 1.5 oz..
For the four coffee buttons on the right side, you can override
the strength and the coffee volume.
COFFEE READY
12. AUTO CAPPUCCINO SYSTEM
The three buttons on the left side of the operating panel produce
beverages which are brewed through the Auto Cappuccino
System (Fig. 1,13). We recommend watching the DVD.
• First turn the Rotary Dial. It will display five different strength
settings XMILD, MILD, NORMAL, STRONG, XSTRONG.
• Select the one you like and then push one of the four coffee
buttons. Once you pushed the coffee button, the display will
again show the strength setting you just selected.
• You can now change the coffee volume.
• Turn the Rotary Dial and the display will show the coffee volume
in oz. Turn the dial until the desired volume is set.
Please note: When you select a different strength you must
push one of the coffee buttons within the next 3 seconds,
otherwise the Z5 reverts back to COFFEE READY.
Please note: When you push one of the double cup buttons and
you change the volume, the display will always show the volume
The Auto Cappuccino System has the following components:
• Dual fixed spouts coming out of the machine, (Fig. 5).
• Dial Component with the small removable venting tip (Fig. 5a).
• The removable Dual Nozzle system. The long system is already
attached to the machine. If you use tall cups or glasses you
can replace the long Dual Nozzle System with a shorter one
(Fig. 5b). It is included in the Welcome Pack.
The nozzle that is positioned closer to the machine will deliver
coffee, this is called the Coffee Nozzle (Fig. 5e). The nozzle in
the front will deliver hot steamed and frothed milk, this is
called the Milk Nozzle (Fig. 5e).
15.
Please note: There is a gap between the Coffee Nozzle and
the fixed coffee spout. (Fig. 5e) This is necessary to assure
proper coffee flow.
MILK 15 SEC.
Hot frothed milk is automatically delivered into your cup.
Frothing stops automatically.
Please note: The Milk Nozzle should always be tightly connected
to the Dial Component (Fig. 5e) and the venting tip needs to
be clean and inserted to assure proper frothing action (Fig. 5a).

• Place a cappuccino cup underneath the Dual Nozzle System.
The cup should have at least a 8 oz. capacity. Make sure the
dial points to the cappuccino setting (Fig. 5f).
• Push the Cappuccino Button (Fig. 3).
CAPPUCCINO
The Z5 begins grinding the coffee and at the same time starts
siphoning the cold milk.
16.
Please note: Cold milk will stay fresh up to 8 hours in the thermal
milk container. Do not leave the milk sitting outside the refrigerator
over night.
Please note: If there is not enough milk in the milk container, the
frother nozzle will dispense steam only. Stop the frothing action
and refill the milk container.
Please note: If the Dial points to the cappuccino position and
you do not get froth on your milk, check the following items:
a. Make sure all connections are tight.
b. Remove the venting tip (Fig. 5a) and squeeze the bottom part.
Milk might have closed the venting lip. Replace venting tip.
c. Skim milk will create considerably more froth than regular
milk. Soy milk will produce very little froth.
16. SPECIAL COFFEE BUTTON
COFFEE READY
• Place a cup under the Auto Cappuccino System.
Make sure the long or the short nozzle system is installed.
• Push the SPECIAL COFFEE button (Fig. 3). The Z5 will brew a
cup coffee from the back nozzle and will stop automatically.
This button is useful if you want to create special milk drinks
that are not pre-set with any of the other buttons.
• As explained in chapter 11, you can change the strength and
the volume for this button, just before brewing.

18. CAPPUCCINO CLEANING CYCLE
Milk contains fatty acids. Hot water alone may not always
remove milk fats completely. If you use the cappuccino feature
frequently or if you use the Z5 for commercial purposes we highly
recommend to perform this cleaning cycle daily. It will take less
than two minutes.
Please note: the Z5 will not prompt you to run this special cycle.
20. USING PRE-GROUND COFFEE
the program RINSE UNIT in the maintenance section to run
You can also use pre-ground coffee, bypassing the grinder. This
comes in handy if someone requests decaf coffee or a decaf
cappuccino. You can also use the pre-ground funnel for ground
flavored coffee.
Please note: Never fill the funnel with instant coffee. Do not fill
the funnel with more than two scoops. The funnel is not a
storage container. If coffee is ground too fine it might be processed
very slowly or the Z5 will interrupt the process altogether.
some hot water through the coffee spouts (chapter 26.1)
21. USING HOT WATER
The Z5 can produce up to 16 oz. of hot water. This is great if you
want to produce a hot cup of tea or instant soup or if you want
to add some hot water to your coffee.
COFFEE READY
• Place a cup underneath the Hot Water Spout (Fig. 1,6)
• Push the Hot Water Button (Fig.3). The display shows HOT
WATER PORTION.
The pre-set is 6 oz. You can change the hot water volume during
brewing by turning the Rotary Dial. You can always stop the hot
water output by pushing any of the beverage buttons.
COFFEE READY
• Place one or two cups under the Dual Coffee Spouts or the
Auto Cappuccino System. Open the Cover Lid and then open
the Lid for Ground Coffee (Fig. 4). Opening this lid automati-
cally disengages the grinder. The display shows PRE-GROUND
FILL POWDER.
• Add one or two level scoops of pre-ground coffee into the funnel
and close the lid Fig. 12). The display shows PRE-GROUND
SELECT PRODUCT.
22. WATER CARE
Water is heated inside the Z5. With use, this leads to calcium
deposits forming inside the machine. With the Z5 you have the
following options to take care of the water:
Most convenient: Clearyl Water Filter Cartridge (chapter 23).
Least expensive: Decalcifying System (chapter 24 and 29).
Your Z5 is pre-set in the factory to automatically remind you to
decalcify based on a water hardness of 10º DH = 13 grains. You
can change the water hardness setting to comply with the water
you are using (chapter 24).
Please note: The Z5 will automatically remind you when it is
necessary to run certain water maintenance programs. It is
important that you follow those instructions. Otherwise your Z5
might break down.
• Push any of the six coffee producing buttons. The Z5 will brew
the selected beverage. During brewing you can still change the
coffee volume by turning the Rotary Dial.
COFFEE READY
Please note: If you inadvertently opened the lid for the coffee
funnel, just close it. The Z5 will detect that there is no coffee in
the funnel. The display will show PRE-GROUND NOT ENOUGH
and will return to COFFEE READY.
Please note: After use of sugar coated or flavored coffee
through the pre-ground coffee funnel you may experience some
flavor transfer when switching back to your regular coffee. Select

23. CLEARYL WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE
Activating:
The machine comes with one Clearyl Water Filter Cartridge. The
Clearyl cartridge
• Reduces the water hardness up to 75%.
You must activate the cartridge otherwise the Z5 cannot monitor
it properly and assumes that the machine is still in decalcifying
mode.
• Removes (if present) up to 85% chlorine, up to 90% lead, up
to 95% copper and up to 67% aluminum.
• Cleans the water through an upward current principle (Fig. 9)
just before the brewing cycle starts, ensuring freshly filtered
water every time you make coffee.
• Eliminates decalcifying except when using very hard water
(25 grains or higher), see chapter 24. In this case we recom-
mended to decalcify the Z5 once or twice a year.
• To reorder cartridges, see chapter 34.
COFFEE READY

20.
Please note: We recommend to set the time (chapter 26.7). If
you have not used 75 liters of water in three months, the filter
monitor will indicate that a filter change is necessary.
Important: Once the filter has lost its calcium suppressing
abilities, calcium will build up inside the machine. Since the
Water Hardness Selector is off, the machine will not remind you
when to decalcify. This could clog and ruin your machine.
• Push the Rinse Button. INSERT FILTER PRESS BUTTON.
• Remove the old filter and set the extension rod aside. The
used filter cartridge is environmentally friendly and can be
disposed with your regular household trash.
"Water Hardness in Grains." The Z5 will show you the water
hardness in the German hardness scale (which is a bit different
from the American "Grain" scale (see chart below).
You can also use the enclosed water hardness indicator strip to
determine the water hardness:
• Insert the stick for one second into the water you want to
use. Shake off any access water and wait for one minute.
• If all five fields of the test stick turn reddish, set the hardness
level to 5 squares. If four fields turn reddish, set the hardness
level to 4 squares and so on.
Please note: If you use Spring Water or Bottled Water you can
set the hardness level to 1, "extremely soft water".
Important: Keep the Extension Rod
• Make sure the water tank is empty.
The Z5 will give you the following options:
• Remove the new cartridge from its bag and rinse under
running water. Now install as explained in chapter 23A.
• Place a 20 oz. container under the Auto Cappuccino System.
• Push and hold the Rinse Button until the display shows

Important: If you pull out the drawer in between, you must
empty the used coffee container. The Z5 assumes that the used
coffee container will be emptied. If you do not empty the con-
tainer, used coffee will overflow inside the machine and can
cause serious damage to the coffee release mechanism. If the
display shows COFFEE BIN MISSING, the tray is not attached
to the drawer (Fig. 2,9).

machine does not prompt you. It is possible that very oily coffee
beans deposit more oils slowing down the brewing process. An
extra tablet cleaning cycle will remove the oil build up.

28. TABLET CLEANING PROCESS
When brewing coffee inside the Z5, coffee oils start to accumulate
in the brewing chamber and around the internal sieves. The Z5
automatically reminds you after approx. 200 cups of coffee to
run a tablet cleaning cycle. This 15 minute procedure is highly
effective and will insure proper performance. The display will
show COFFEE READY CLEAN and the rinse button illuminates.
Please note: You can continue making coffee, however we highly
recommend that you clean the machine as described below
within the next few days. Please use one white cleaning tablet
(enclosed). The machine comes with a pack of 2 tablets.
To re-order cleaning tablets see chapter 34.
Important: Once the cleaning program has started do not
interrupt the procedure.

31. TIPS FOR BETTER COFFEE
Pre-warm cups.
If your cup is pre-warmed, your coffee will stay warm longer,
especially when you prepare small cups. Use the hot water
spout to pre-warm your cups.
COFFEE READY.
Tip: You can run a decalcifying cycle at anytime even if the
machine does not prompt you.
COFFEE READY
• Push and hold the Rotary Dial until the display shows FILTER.
• Turn the dial until the display shows: MAINTENANCE
• Push the dial and select DECALCIFYING UNIT.
• Push the dial again. TRAY GROUNDS EMPTY.
Continue with step b. through l. above.
Height adjustable coffee-spout
The closer the coffee spouts are to your cups, the less heat is
lost in the air. The crema is more durable if the coffee flows down
the inside of the cup, rather than hitting the bottom of the cup.
Old beans
Beans will lose aroma when sitting too long in the bean container.
We recommend to fill just enough coffee beans into the bean
container for up to three or four days.
30. EMPTYING SYSTEM BEFORE TRANSPORT
This procedure is necessary to prevent water and frost damage
in case you intend to transport the machine.
• Turn the machine off with the on/off button on top of the
machine. The main power switch is still on.
32. TROUBLE SHOOTING
A. NO COFFEE COMES OUT OF THE COFFEE SPOUT
Reason: Beans in bean container are not properly feeding into
the grinder because they are stuck together.
• Remove the water tank.
• Place a cup underneath the Hot Water Spout and place a cup
underneath the Auto Cappuccino System.
• Push and hold the Rinse button until the display shows SYS
EMPTY. The Z5 will release a bit of water and steam and will
turn off automatically.
• Before transport make sure the Water Container and the Bean
Container are empty.
Solution: Stir beans before grinding. While grinding turn
the grinding selector to the coarsest setting (chapter 7).
Reason: You used ground coffee in the Ground Coffee Funnel.
The ground coffee was too fine.
Solution: Use ground coffee that is ground somewhat coarser.
Reason: No water is transported through the system.
Solution: Remove water container and make sure that the
connecting valve is free of any particles (like a coffee bean etc).
32.
Reason: The ground coffee funnel or the internal brewing
chamber is clogged.
Solution: Place a cup underneath the Dual Coffee Spout and
run an extra rinse cycle.
The milk you are using is "too heavy". "Half and Half" or liquid coffee
creamers like "coffeemate" are too heavy to be siphoned fast
enough through the system.
Skim milk will always produce more froth than whole milk.

D. GRINDER MAKES AN EXTREMELY LOUD NOISE;
NO BEANS ARE GROUND
Reason: A stone is blocking the burr grinder.
• Turn the machine off. Unplug the machine.

B. THE DISPLAY READS FILL WATER BUT THERE IS
ENOUGH WATER IN THE WATER TANK.
Reason: The low water floatation device (Fig. 10 "x") is missing.
Solution: Within the water tank is a small compartment. Inside is
a small black floatation device. On top is a small clear plastic
cover. This small plastic cover is missing and the floatation
device is outside of the small compartment. Check if you can
locate both pieces and reassemble. If you cannot find them, call
1-800-220-5701. We will send the pieces to you FREE OF CHARGE.
• If you cannot find the tool, call customer service

• Turn the tool slowly counter-clock wise until the stone is
released.
• Fill with a few beans.
• Turn the machine on and test the grinder.
• Discard the first two cups of coffee.
C. INSUFFICIENT FROTHED MILK PRODUCTION
Make sure
• the dial of the Auto Cappuccino System points the frothing
position (Fig. 5f).
• the venting tip (Fig. 5a) is clean (check if the flexible lip is free
of any old milk residue).
• the Auto Cappuccino System is assembled tightly (chapter 12)
• all parts of the Auto Cappuccino System are clean and not
clogged with old milk residue
