We know some people prefect the kind of cappuccino that barista's have made famous, so how can you do this with your Jura.

Firstly the milk. Here are some guides:

• It must be pasteurized, since then the cream is normally removed
• 2% milk is best, but full cream works too
• The fresher the milk the better
• Should not be too cold, 5°C at least

From then it is actually quite easy. You do need to have an Easy or Profi frother then you also need a frothing jug, and we also recommend a temperature gauge

Once you have all these goodies (the are available from us click here to read about them

• Pour about 2.5 cm in the jug, for 1 cup we recommend a 0.6 litre jug
• Insert the frothing tube that came with your Jura into the jug, submersing it in the milk
• start the frothing process as normal
• check the temperature gauge to see when 60°C is shown (or the milk is about 3 times the size it was)
• stop the frothing process
• let the milk settle (it takes about the same time to settle as to prepare an espresso
• The pour the milk into the cup, and enjoy

This kind of milk is perfect for what some call a flat white, but we call a cappuccino

If you like this kind of coffee, we recommed you select a medium to full bodied coffee

The Jura range of coffee machines is correctly designed to brew coffee at the perfect temperature namely: 95°C (or 87°C for some models where temperature is considered normal).

 This temperature has proved as the correct temperature to extract all the flavours, while not burning the grinds. See our brewing rules for clarity

The only time a Jura coffee machine will not do this is if some thing is wrong, here are some possible pointers:

• the coffee filter is partially blocked
• it has not been cleaned when requested, or not cleaned with a Jura cleaning tablet
• it has not been decalcified properly when decalcification was requested
• it has been idle for over 30 minutes and has not been rinsed (the J-5 and Z-5 detects this automatically)

We therefore suggest for following:

• to rinse the machine into the cup before making coffee then dispose the coffee rinse, then prepare the coffee. This is good for two reasons it preheats the brewing “plumbing” and it also gets rid on dirty water.
• Change the brewing temperature (F50 and above), see the manual on how to do this
• If you are adding milk, the average fridge keeps milk at 4°. 4° plus 93° means the average is about a high 48°, which is perceived as cold. So either steam the milk or froth it, or if you have a profi-frother set the setting on the frother to hot milk
• Drink from a smaller cup, the larger the cup the more likely it is for the 93° to be close to 80° by the time the coffee is finished pouring. So make a smaller cup, it also tastes better!
• If you do not want to heat milk up make sure it is at least room temperature
