Why Should I Buy an Automatic Coffee Center?
Taste, variety, convenience.

Jura-Capresso research shows that coffee lovers prefer high-pressure brewed coffee over any other coffee brewing method.
Variety: Make authentic espressos, cappuccinos, lattes, long crema coffees, even hot chocolate and tea, with a push of a button, perfectly every time. Convenience:Grind, tamp, brew, and clean in under 60 seconds. No other system can produce such a variety of beverages with more convenience.
The world of coffee: There are many ways to brew coffee: percolating, cold brew, instant, hand drip, French press, automatic drip and pressure brewing. Each system creates a different taste. The high-pressure brewing method retrieves a maximum of flavor and aroma. That's also the reason why many fine European restaurants and hotels only serve you freshly pressure brewed coffee. Jura-Capresso Automatic Coffee Centers do exactly that... and quite a bit more...

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make a pot of coffee with an automatic coffee center?
Super Automatics make coffee by the cup. The maximum you can brew is 16 oz. at a time. A freshly brewed 8 oz. cup of coffee tastes much better than the same cup from a pot because of the high pressure and the shorter brewing time.
Do I need different beans for coffee and espresso?
You use the same beans for both. Espresso is just a smaller version of a larger high-pressure brewed cup of coffee.
Can I hook up the machine to a permanent water supply?
No! The water tank is large (64 oz. or 96 oz.) and easy to fill. Water hook up requires different technical approval. Also, for entertaining, you can move the machine easily from one room to another.
Can I use soy milk for frothing?
Yes, but it will not give you as much froth as skim milk. Just make sure to clean the frother right after use because of the high sugar content.
Can I use flavored beans?
Do not fill the bean container with coated and flavored beans. It will damage the grinder. You can use flavored beans pre-ground through the ground coffee funnel.
