Why Jura?

Espresso coffee originated with the pavement cafes of Italy, where the patrons beneath their umbrellas sipped the sharp brew fresh from the big chrome-plated machine hissing and gurgling to itself in the shady interior.

If this sounds like heaven to you and you want to recreate the Italian espresso experience you won't want to compromise on quality.

Since 1931 Jura have been producing innovative, high quality household appliances. In the early 1990s the company focused all its energy on the design and manufacture of espresso machines enabling them to consistently produce the most stunning coffee machines in the world.

But Jura espresso machines are not just designed to look good. The company was the first to introduce coffee machines with touchscreens and programmable drink settings and they were the first to introduce in-built water filters eliminating limescale problems.

The Swiss precision technology and Jura's aim to produce machines that make consistently perfect coffee whilst also appeal to all five senses make their machines the ultimate brewing experience.

If you love coffee ... if you refuse to compromise on quality ... if you want consistently good coffee, quickly and easily ... you'll love Jura.

Jura Espresso Makers and Accessories

Swiss made
These fabulous bean-to-cup machines are the pinnacle of coffee brewing pleasure with all the qualities you'd expect from Swiss precision technology
Heating by thermobloc - not boiler
Using thermoblocs rather than conventional boilers gives Jura machines the edge. Simply put, Jura thermoblocs are blocks of highly conductive material with a stainless steel tube running through. The block takes about about one minute to heat up when the machine is turned on and then stays at the optimum temperature. Water is passed through the tube because only a small amount of water (relative to the size of the block) is passed through at any one time the water is heated instantaneously. With a boiler, because you're heating the entire mass of water around the heating element it takes longer (no matter where the element is placed, or how efficient it is).
Perfect coffee immediately
Because the water is heated instantaneously you only have to wait as long as the water takes to pass through the coffee, not for it to heat up so you can enjoy perfect coffee immediately
Cup after cup
As there's always hot water available you can also make a constant supply of coffee until the water runs out without waiting between cups ... so invite your friends round!
Freshly heated water
Freshly heated water is essential for good coffee, and as you're only the required amount of water for each cup your coffee will taste it's best every time.
Energy saving
Because the thermobloc heats only the water that you use it's more energy efficient that a boiler.

Why Espresso?

Gone are the days when coffee made at home meant a time consuming percolator or a messy cafetiere ... these ways of making coffee, whilst adequate, have been surpased and today, modern technology has miniaturised the process of making a traditional espresso and brought the electric espresso machines to the home.

It is now possible to enjoy fresh espresso at the touch of a button, even if you can't add the warm sunshine or the ambience of a Florentine piazza...

What is Espresso?

So what is Espresso?
Well, it's strong, dark and arrives very quickly in small cups. What's not so obvious is that, thanks to the way it's made, it also arrives without some of the less wholesome components of the coffee bean, and is consequently the healthiest way to drink coffee.

Espresso is made by forcing hot water under high pressure through the freshly ground coffee, where it rapidly extracts the coffee essence in full measure without lingering long enough to release any unwanted elements. Fresh espresso is also the base for other popular coffees, wearing a hat of frothed milk and chocolate powder as a cappuccino or lengthened with pure hot water into a milder Americano. .

The making of a good espresso
As with any other culinary process, the freshness and quality of the ingredients are of paramount importance. You won’t make a good cup of coffee by any process if you start off with the remains of a pack of coffee grounds that have been lurking in the fridge for a month or two!

Why Espresso?

Good quality, fresh coffee grounds and water are the basis of good coffee.

Filter your water if necessary and grind your coffee beans immediately prior to brewing.

The correct temperature is essential
The water should be between 92°C and 96°C. If adding extra water or milk, this should be heated too and don't forget to heat your cup for the perfect espresso experience

Not too much water
The more water that passes through the beans, the more caffeine that's extracted and therefore the more bitter the coffee. To enjoy delicious coffee without the bitterness make "short" cups of espresso and then add hot water.

Care for your espresso maker
Whether you choose an inexpensive stove top machine or a top of the range bean to cup machine, you must look after it! Generally speaking, the higher the cost of the machine, the less maintenance you'll have to get involved in, but even it's just a case of following instructions displayed on the machine it is essential that you carry out routine maintenance as factors like hard water, which produces limescale, will have a dramatic effect on the quality of your coffee.
