It’s the fastest-growing category in upscale coffee equipment today. Automatic coffee centers bring new sophistication, quality, versatility and ease of use to brewing coffee at home. These advanced countertop appliances produce the finest high-pressure-brewed coffee, espresso, cappuccino and latte, cup by cup. Fast and easy to operate, they feature automatic grinding, tamping, brewing, rinse cycles and cleaning, plus frothing options – without guesswork, hassle or extensive clean-up. Automatic Coffee Centers give you more choices with regards to coffee volume and coffee strength than any other coffee or espresso machine, while still letting you choose the coffee you want. Grinding just before brewing assures the highest yield of flavor and aroma. Jura-Capresso is the innovation leader in automatic coffee centers in the United States, with ten different models, including the award-winning IMPRESSA Z5, the first automatic coffee center that produces authentic cappuccinos and lattes at the touch of one button, without moving the cup. This model has been honored with a Gourmet Golds “Best of Show” award and a Platinum ADEX Award for Design Excellence. The IMPRESSA J5 has received the iF Red Dot Award 2007 for outstanding design quality and the Good Design Award from the Chicago Athenaeum. Both the IMPRESSA Z5 and IMPRESSA J5 have received the highest rating possible in the European Quality Test conducted by the European Institute for Quality Assurance and Quality Control. The IMPRESSA J5 received the highest rating in a test of nine automatic coffee centers from seven brands by the Stiftung Warentest, the largest independent consumer product testing organization in Germany. One additional Jura Model was tested, the IMPRESSA F8, and it was rated #2.
