Capresso Impressa J5 Coffeemaker User Manual


 
remind you via the display when to refill the beans before the
bean container is completely empty.
• Fill beans into the bean container.
• 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 may still show
FILL BEANS.
• Push the 1-cup Espresso Button again. Discard the first two
cups of coffee.
READY. Your next cup of coffee will be perfect.
7. ADJUSTING THE GRINDER (Fig. 10)
• Open the storage lid (Fig. 1.2). The grinder adjustment is set to a
medium fineness position. We recommend to leave the grinder
in this position for most applications. If you have extremely
dark roasted, oily beans we recommend to set the grinder to a
coarser setting (towards the thick end of the bar).
Important: You can only adjust the grind settings, while the
grinder is running.
• While the grinder is running turn the grind selector switch to
the desired position.
– For dark, oily beans turn the selector switch toward the
thicker end of the bar (away from the bean symbol).
– For light, dry beans turn selector switch toward bean symbol.
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. 1a). In this case
the On/Off button on top is illuminated.
• Push the On/Off button on top of the machine.
HEATING.
After approx. 1 to 2 minutes the display shows RINSE.
• Place a cup under the coffee spouts (Fig. 8) and push the
Rinse Button (Fig. 2). Hot water pumps through the coffee
spouts. The rinse cycle stops by itself and the display reads:
READY. You are now ready to make coffee.
9. BEVERAGE BUTTONS (Fig. 3)
The J5 has six beverage buttons: four coffee buttons, a hot
water button and a steam button. These buttons are all
pre-programmed (see chapter 5). If you want to re-program
them, see chapter 17.2.
10. TIPS FOR HOTTER COFFEE
• Always make sure the temperature setting for your coffee
beverage is set to HIGH (chapters 5 and 17.2).
Some coffee drinkers like their coffee extremely hot. High
pressure brewed coffee will lose its flavor and aroma if it is
brewed too hot. In addition the “crema” on top of your coffee
will disappear within seconds if the coffee is brewed too hot.
Contrary to drip coffee (which is normally brewed into a carafe
sitting on a hot plate) the J5 brews coffee directly into your cup.
Since the cup is at room temperature or even colder it will
immediately take away warmth from your coffee beverage.
Black Coffee / Espresso:
• We highly recommend to pre-warm your cup. The fastest way
is to place the cup under the frother and push the Hot Water
Button (Fig. 3). Fill the cup with 2 to 6 oz. of hot water. Then
empty the cup. Now prepare your coffee.
• In addition you can increase the temperature of the coffee
by turning the grind fineness selector to a slightly finer
setting (see chapter 7). The finer grind will slow down the
brewing process thus increasing the water temperature.
This might result in less crema on top of your coffee/espresso.
