Description

The Impressa J5 from Jura is its One Touch Coffee Machine, which has a display that lets you operate the machine and change any of the coffee and espresso drinks that you want to make with just one or two touches. Once you select the right drink, you can adjust the water temperature and other settings to make coffee drinks that look and taste like those that barista professionals make. As the coffee spouts are adjustable with the touch of a button too, this coffee machine will work with all your mugs.

No matter how you like to grind beans for coffee, the J5 can create beans that are as fine as sugar or much coarser. All those beans, which you can keep stored in the attached bean hopper, will drop inside the grinder, which has six different settings that you can then use.

If you like coffee that is a little creamier and has a distinct taste of milk, you can use the vacuum canister. This canister uses stainless steel to keep milk chilled and at a low temperature before serving.
