This fully automatic coffee/espresso/cappuccino center is com-  
pletely programmable and extremely user friendly. Your Impressa  
Z5 prepares a cup of cappuccino or latte at a push of a button  
without moving your cup, it brews one or two cups of crema

Enjoy your Impressa Z5!  
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.

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.

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  
6c. TURNING THE MACHINE ON  
Press the Main Power Switch at the bottom left in front of  
the power cord (Fig. 3a). The On/Off button on top of the  
machine illuminates (Fig. 3).

During this operation the Rinse Button flashes.  
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

is no need to pull out the drawer unless you see the message  
EMPTY GROUNDS (chapter 27.4).  
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 Z5s 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).  
3 OZ. NORMAL. Now the Z5 automatically adds high pressure  
brewed coffee and then stops automatically.

Tip: If you use a glass cup you can actually see how much froth  
is created and how the coffee goes through the froth and sits  
underneath the layer of milk froth. Slightly stir to distribute the  
coffee evenly into the hot milk.

Place a cup underneath the Dual Nozzle System.  
Turn the Rotary Dial until the display shows XSTRONG.  
Push the Cappuccino button.  
When the display shows MILK 15 SEC, turn the Rotary Dial  
until the display shows 10 SEC.  
When the coffee starts brewing turn the Rotary Dial again until  
the display shows 2 OZ.  
Please note: You can stop frothing by pushing any of the bever-  
age buttons or the Rotary Dial. The Z5 will stop frothing and will  
start brewing the coffee. You can stop the coffee brewing in the  
same way.  
Latte: The Dial points to the tall glass. Hot steamed milk with no  
or very little froth will be created.  
COFFEE READY  
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

b. Remove the flexible hose on both ends and clean with hot water.  
c. Pull off the Dial component and the Dual Nozzle and rinse  
under warm water.  
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.

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.

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.

place.  
Fill the water tank with fresh cold water and replace.  
23b. REPLACING THE CLEARYL WATER CARTRIDGE  
The filter is monitored automatically. After approx. 75 liters of  
water (~2,500 oz.) the display shows COFFEE READY and  
FILTER-CHANGE. The Rinse Button will light up.  
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  
FILTER RINS. For the next 90 seconds the Z5 will push

27. CARE AND MAINTENANCE MESSAGES  
To make sure that your machine is always in the best possible  
condition the Z5 automatically monitors a series of functions,  
such as water tank level, used coffee container content, bean  
container etc. When certain conditions are not met, the Z5 will  
not let you prepare any beverages.  
29.  
 
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).  
Please note: The Z5 does not sense whether or not the used  
coffee container is inserted (Fig. 2,8). If you forget to insert the  
used coffee container, ground coffee will be discharged onto the  
tray inside the machine.  
TRAY MISSING and replace complete assembly (Fig. 2) .

and drawer and replace. The display shows COFFEE READY.  
Please note: After this cleaning process, remove the powder  
funnel insert and clean under running water and replace.  
Tip: You can run a tablet cleaning cycle at anytime even if the  
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.  
COFFEE READY  
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

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.  
COFFEE READY  
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.  
Open the Cover Lid and remove the Bean Container Safety  
Lid (Fig. 4).  
Remove any beans with a vacuum hose.  
Attach the burr grinder release tool (Welcome Pack) to the  
upper burr (Fig. 15).

Push the Rotary Dial again. Place a cup underneath the Dual  
Coffee Spouts and push the Rinse Button.  
COFFEE READY  
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  
1-800-220-5701 and we will send the tool free of charge.  
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
