1. PRODUCT WARRANTY REGISTRATION  
trademark of each Jura-Capresso coffee center. This Pre-Brew  
Aroma-System ensures optimal coffee extraction, and the  
powerful 18-bar pump will finish every cup with a rich layer of  
"crema" – proof of perfectly high-pressure brewed coffee. Just  
press one of the four coffee beverage buttons and your Impressa  
J5 will grind, tamp and brew your personal cup of coffee. The  
integrated solid steel conical burr grinder grinds beans to the  
correct fineness. A separate funnel lets you use pre-ground  
coffee. The stainless steel lined ThermoBlock heating system  
prevents water from coming in contact with aluminum and  
allows you to brew coffee immediately after frothing (no purging).  
All coffee, water and steam functions are programmable to your  
own personal taste. Brew coffee between 1 and 16 oz. The  
unique dual coffee spout moves up and down and in and out to  
accommodate a wide variety of cups. The frothXpress system is  
an automatic frothing system that takes the guess work out of  
steaming and frothing milk. If you prefer the traditional steaming  
and frothing, use the Dual Frother (stored in the storage com-  
partment). The steam nozzle produces unlimited amount of  
steam. The hot water function lets you prepare tea and other  
beverages in seconds or use it to pre-warm your coffee cups. All  
important functions such as water level, bean container, used  
coffee container and water filter are monitored automatically. You  
can program the machine to turn itself on and off, change the  
language and check how many cups of coffee you made.  
Please remove the Product Registration from the WELCOME  
PACK, fill it out and mail or fax it to us within two weeks after  
purchasing your machine or register your product online through  
our website: www.capresso.com. Important: This registration is  
part of your warranty (chapter 26). In case your retailer sent the  
product registration when you purchased the machine, it is not  
necessary to register again.

3.1 BEAN-TO-CUP / CREMA COFFEE" /  
HIGH PRESSURE BREWING  
3.3 COFFEE FACTS  
According to the majority of coffee experts, grinding the beans  
just before brewing, tamping and brewing under high pressure is  
the ideal extracting process for maximum flavor and aroma. Your  
Jura-Capresso automatic coffee center will always produce  
espresso and coffee with a thick, foamy layer called "crema."  
The crema traps the fine aromatics and the light gaseous flavors  
that register on the palate. The high pressure and the short  
Caffeine is tasteless. A "strong" coffee or espresso is mostly  
the result of the amount of coffee in relation to the amount of  
water. The longer a bean is roasted, the less caffeine it has.  
Arabica and Robusta are two genetically different kinds of  
beans. "Arabica" beans have more flavor and a little less caffeine  
than "Robusta" beans which are mostly used in lower priced  
coffees and instant coffees.  
brewing time prevent the extraction of bitter oils and release less Espresso is not a bean, it's the way the coffee is roasted and  
caffeine than any other brewing method.You will always make  
the absolute freshest and most aromatic cup of coffee. This is  
the reason why many European restaurants and hotels serve  
only fresh pressured brewed coffee. Experiment with your new  
machine and prepare yourself the best and most enjoyable cup  
of coffee!  
prepared. Typical US espresso roasts result in darker beans with  
an oily surface. European espresso roasts are medium brown  
with no or very little oils on the surface.  
Please note: Dark, oily beans should be processed differently  
than medium brown beans: see chapter 7.

Plug-in machine.  
12.  
 
6.1 TURNING THE MACHINE ON  
Oily Beans: Beans with an oily surface tend to stick together.  
This may prevent a continuous flow of beans from the bean  
container into the burrs. As a result the grinder does not grind  
enough coffee and you might get weak or no coffee at all.  
Before filling oily beans into the bean container pour the beans  
in an open bowl and let them sit for about 5 hours. The oils will  
evaporate (this will not change the taste of your coffee). Then fill  
the beans into the bean container. Now beans will feed into the  
burr grinder more easily.  
• Press the Main Power Switch at the bottom right in front of  
the power cord (Fig. 1a). The On/Off button on top of the  
machine illuminates in red (Fig. 2), indicating that the main  
power switch was turned on.  
• Push the On/Off button on top of the machine. The display  
will illuminate. FILL WATER TANK  
6.2 FILLING THE WATER TANK  
Please note: Only use fresh, cold water. Never fill water tank  
with carbonated water, milk or any other liquid.  
• Open the Water Tank Lid, remove the water tank, rinse and fill  
with fresh, cold water (Fig. 5).  
• Replace water tank and make sure that the two slots are  
engaged over the two hooks to secure the tank properly.  
• Close water tank lid. The display shows PRESS RINSE and  
the Rinse Button illuminates (Fig. 2)  
Flavored Coffee: DO NOT use flavored beans in the grinder!  
If you like flavored coffees we recommend to add flavors to your  
coffee after brewing. This way you can use your regular coffee  
beans in the bean container. Adding the flavors after brewing  
lets you control the intensity better than with pre-flavored coffee.  
Your local coffee store typically carries a variety of flavors.  
6.4 FILLING THE BEAN CONTAINER  
• Place one cup underneath the Steam Outlet (Fig. 7)  
• Push the Rinse Button. SYSTEM FILLING. The machine starts  
pumping water into the system, until some water will come  
through the cappuccino nozzle. After a few seconds the  
process stops and the display shows HEATING.  
• Place a cup underneath the dual coffee spouts (Fig. 8). After  
approx. one minute the display shows PRESS RINSE.  
• Push the Rinse button. Warm water pumps through the coffee  
spouts and stops. The display shows FILL BEANS.  
Please note: To insure that your conical burr grinder will work  
for a long time, do not use it with any kind of coated or flavored  
beans (all coating and flavors contain sugar or sugar substances).  
Such coating can damage the burrs. Using such beans voids the  
warranty. Have your coffee store grind the sugar coated beans  
and use as described in the chapter 11.3.  
• Open the Bean Container Lid (Fig. 4). Do not force the lid  
further back than the vertical position.  
• Remove the bean aroma lid (Fig. 4). The bean container has a  
protective slotted cover. This prevents fingers from getting into  
the burrs during grinding. This slotted cover can be opened by  
loosening the holding screw (Fig. 28) (chapter 20.2). The bean  
container has a sensor which monitors the bean level. It will

Frozen Beans: Thaw 3 to 4 hours before adding to bean  
container. This prevents moisture from seeping into the grinder.

remind you via the display when to refill the beans before the  
bean container is completely empty.  
• Fill beans into the bean container.  
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.  
• 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.  
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.  
7. ADJUSTING THE GRINDER (Fig. 10)  
10. TIPS FOR HOTTER COFFEE  
• 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.  
• 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.  
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  
14.  
 
Extremely Hot Coffee:  
If you like your coffee even hotter you can inject steam. This will  
make the crema disappear.  
uses a 2-step brewing process (Pre-Brew Aroma System).  
First, it moistens the ground coffee (pre-brew phase), pauses  
for a few seconds, and then starts the brewing process. The  
display will show the name of the button you pushed, e.g.  
1 ESPRESSO and then the strength, e.g. STRONG and then  
1 ESPRESSO again. The brewing process stops automatically  
as soon as the programmed volume of coffee is produced.  
Very Important: After the brewing stops, the J5 will discard the  
used coffee. Please do not pull out the drawer (Fig. 1.11)  
during this time. It can seriously damage the machine. There  
is no need to pull out the drawer unless you see the message  
EMPTY GROUNDS, see chapter 21.  
• Slip on the Dual Frother Plus (Fig. 18)  
• Push the Steam button (Fig. 3). The display shows HEATING.  
After a few seconds the display shows READY.  
• Immerse the tip of the Dual Frother into your cup of coffee and  
push the Steam button again. Hot steam is injected.  
• Push any button to stop the steam injection.  
CAUTION: If you steam the coffee too long it will begin to boil  
and possibly splash from your cup.  
Coffee with Milk:  
If you normally add cold milk to your coffee we recommend to  
pre-warm your milk. Proceed as follows:  
When the display shows READY you can brew the next cup of  
coffee.  
Please note: You can always stop the brewing process by  
pushing the Rotary Dial or any of the beverage buttons.  
This will not affect the programmed values.  
• First add cold milk to your pre-warmed cup.  
• Use the Dual Frother to steam the milk (Fig. 18, 19, 20)  
• Push the Steam button: HEATING. It will take a few seconds  
for the system to be ready for steam.  
• When the display shows READY, immerse the tip of the Dual  
Frother into the milk and push the Steam Button. STEAM. Let  
the hot steam warm up the milk for a few seconds.  
• Then push the steam button again, to stop.  
11.1 OVERRIDING STRENGTH AND CUP SIZE DURING  
BREWING.  
With the J5’s override feature you are always able to change  
certain settings just before brewing without affecting the pre-set  
values. This is a great feature if you desire a different kind of  
coffee which is not programmed. (For changing programmed  
values see chapter 17.2).  
• Now place the cup under the coffee spouts and add your coffee.  
11. BREWING COFFEE AND ESPRESSO  
• For the two single-cup coffee buttons you can override the  
strength and the coffee volume.  
• For the two double-cup coffee buttons you can override the  
coffee volume (those two buttons will always brew in the  
XSTRONG setting).  
(1 ESPRESSO, 2 ESPRESSI, 1 COFFEE, 2 COFFEES)

• For the hot water button you can override the water volume.  
• For the steam button you can override the steam duration.  
Important:  
You always override the coffee strength, before you push one  
of the single-cup buttons.  
11.2 VISUAL PROGRAMMING OF CUP SIZE  
Instead of overriding the volume or duration of the beverage  
buttons you can re-program the cup size and the duration of the  
steam by going into the programming functions (chapter 17.2) or  
by visually programming the output.  
• Coffee and Hot Water volume as well as steam duration you  
override after you push any of the beverage buttons.  
Example:  
Example: you want to make sure your personal espresso cup is  
filled to the rim.

• Place the cup under the coffee spouts.  
• Push and hold the 1-cup Espresso button until the display  
shows ENOUGH COFFEE ?. The J5 starts grinding and  
brewing espresso.  
• Push the 1-cup Espresso button just before your cup is full and  
the display shows OK, then 1 ESPRESSO. This is now the  
new programmed volume for the 1-cup Espresso button.  
This Push and Hold feature works for all four coffee buttons and  
the steam and hot water button.  
• Place a cup underneath the dual coffee spouts.  
Turn the Rotary Dial. The display shows four different strength  
settings MILD, NORMAL, STRONG, XSTRONG.  
• Select MILD then push the 1-Espresso button. 1 ESPRESSO.  
MILD.  
• While the J5 is grinding, turn the dial again. This time it will  
show the coffee volume. Select 2.0 OZ. The J5 will produce a  
2.0 oz mild espresso and will stop automatically. READY.  
The next time you push the 1 cup espresso button it will  
produce the programmed setting (STRONG 1.5 oz.)  
Please note: When you select a different strength you must  
push one of the coffee buttons within the next 3 seconds,  
otherwise the J5 reverts back to READY.  
11.3 USING PRE-GROUND COFFEE (Fig. 11)  
You can also use pre-ground coffee, bypassing the grinder. This  
comes in handy if someone requests decaf coffee or a decaf  
cappuccino. You can also use the pre-ground funnel for ground  
flavored coffee.  
IMPORTANT:  
Please note: When you push one of the double cup buttons and • Never fill the funnel with instant coffee.  
you change the volume, the display will always show the volume  
per cup, e.g. if you choose 7 oz. the Z5 will actually brew a total  
of 14 oz.  
• Do not fill the funnel with more than two scoops. The funnel is  
not a coffee storage container.  
• If coffee is ground too fine it might be processed very slowly or  
the J5 will interrupt the process altogether.

might be the preferred equipment.  
• If you always want the same amount of milk and milk froth in  
your cup or you make multiple cappuccinos the frothXpress is  
faster and more convenient to use.  
• Add one or two level scoops of pre-ground coffee into the  
funnel and close the lid. The display shows SELECT BUTTON.

milk right into your cup(s). After becoming familiar with this  
attachment you will be able to get exactly the amount of frothed  
or steamed milk you want in your cup (refer to the video).  
• Remove the red protective cap from the side of the frothXpress  
system and attach the milk hose (from the welcome pack) with  
the black connector into the opening of the frothXpress (Fig. 13).  
• Insert the other end into your milk carton or any container with  
cold milk (Fig. 14).  
Important: This system siphons milk and mixes it inside the  
frothXpress with hot steam. It is necessary that all parts are  
connected tightly, otherwise the siphoning process will not work.  
Frothing Position: Point the dial between 12 and 2 o’clock.  
Turning the dial towards the 2 o’clock position will reduce the  
amount of froth but will increase the temperature of the milk.  
Milk will be siphoned, heated and frothed. Fig. 13 shows the 12  
o'clock position.  
12. CAPPUCCINO AND LATTE  
Frothing milk for Cappuccino: Injecting hot steam into the milk  
to warm the milk and create a frothy layer of tiny bubbles.  
Steaming milk for Latte: Injecting hot steam to warm the milk  
without creating a frothy layer.  
The J5 is equipped with two different frothing/steaming systems: Steaming Position: Point the dial between the 4 and 6 o’clock  
a) The frothXpress system - mounted on the machine.  
b) The Dual Frother PLUS - located in the storage area (Fig. 1.3)  
Recommendation:  
• If you froth for only one or two cups and want 100% control  
over the frothing/steaming process, the Dual Frother PLUS  
position. Milk will be siphoned and heated with no froth. For  
hotter milk move the dial more towards the 4 o’clock position.  
Steam Only Position: When the dial points to the 3 o'clock  
position, the siphoning of the milk is blocked. Only steam will  
pass through the frothXpress. Fig. 12 shows that exact position.

button, the system will first display HEATING and then READY.  
• Place your cup underneath the frothXpress (Fig. 15).  
• Push the steam button (Fig. 3 ) HEATING. It will take a few  
seconds for the system to be ready for steam.  
• Make sure the dial of the frothXpress is in the range between  
12 and 2 o’clock.  
How much froth?  
Skim milk will produce more froth than regular milk.  
The frothXpress system will always create more froth than the  
Dual Frother system.  
• When the display shows READY push the steam button again.  
STEAM. The frothXpress starts siphoning the milk and delivers  
hot frothed milk into your cup. The factory setting for steam is  
20 seconds. After 20 seconds the frothing will stop. READY.  
• If you want two cappuccinos, move the first cup aside and  
place the next cup underneath the frothXpress and push the  
steam button again. The above process repeats itself.  
You can also prepare for a Latte now. Turn the frothXpress dial  
to a position between 4 and 6 o’clock, place the cup under-  
neath the frothXpress and push the steam button. Steamed  
milk without froth will be produced.  
• Now place your cup(s) under the coffee spouts and push the  
1-cup or 2-cup espresso button. The coffee will flow into your  
cups. Now you have two cappuccinos or one cappuccino and  
one latte.  
• Stir lightly so that the coffee and the milk form a nice brown  
color below the milk froth (see video). Enjoy!  
12.1.2 HOTTER MILK  
In order to get proper froth the milk cannot be too hot, otherwise  
no froth will be created with the siphoning system. For most  
users the milk temperature created with the dial at the 2 o’clock  
position will be hot enough. You can increase the milk tempera-  
ture as follows:  
• After the frothing stops, turn the frothXpress dial to the  
3 o’clock position, steam only (Fig. 12).  
• Raise the cup containing the frothed milk so that the chrome  
nozzle is immersed.  
• Push the steam button again. STEAM. Now steam will be  
injected into the milk.  
• After a few seconds push the steam button again to stop this  
process. Warning: the milk is now extremely hot and might  
burn you.  
12.1.3 MAKING HOT CHOCOLATE AND CAFE MOCHA  
The frothXpress is ideal to produce unlimited amounts of hot  
chocolate. Add chocolate syrup to taste to the cold milk and stir  
well. Then follow the steps under chapter 12.1.1.  
If you add one or two shots of espresso you have created a  
CAFÉ MOCHA.  
Please note:  
• After the steam output stops, the J5 will hold the STEAM  
READY function for approx. 40 seconds. This allows you to  
add more steamed /frothed milk to the cups, or increase the  
milk temperature (see below) or froth more milk.  
• Once you push any of the coffee buttons, the STEAM READY  
18.  
 
12.1.4 CLEANING THE FROTHXPRESS  
After frothing, a few drops of milk are still inside the frothXpress.  
for just one or two cups of latte or cappuccino.  
Remove the frothXpress, take the Dual Frother out of the storage  
compartment and attach to the steam nozzle (Fig. 18)  
Frothing Position: The cylinder of the frother is pushed down.  
Steaming Position: The cylinder is pushed up ( see Fig. 19).  
• Fill the desired amount of milk into a pitcher or in your cup.  
Make sure that the pitcher or the cup has at least twice the  
volume of the milk, e.g. if you steam or froth 5 oz. of milk use a  
10 to 12 oz. pitcher.  
• Always start with cold milk. Skim milk will produce the most  
froth and will let you taste more of the coffee. Milk with 1%  
and 2% fat will give you a bit less froth. Regular milk (3% fat)  
will produce even less froth. The Dual Frother with its new tip  
design will create a dense froth.  
12.1.5 QUICK RINSE  
If you don’t use the frothXpress within the next half hour there is  
a quick and easy way remove those milk deposits.  
• Place a cup underneath the frothXpress  
• Place a cup with some cold water next to the machine and  
insert the other end of the milk hose into this cup (Fig. 14). The  
frothXpress dial points at the 12 o’clock position. READY.  
• Push the Steam Button (Fig. 3). HEATING. When the display  
shows READY push the Steam button again STEAM. The system  
will push steam through the frothXpress.  
• Push the Steam button to stop.  
12.1.6 THOROUGH CLEANING / CAPPUCCINO CLEANER  
If you use the frothXpress extensively or in case you forgot to  
clean the frothXpress, it is possible that milk fat starts building  
up inside the frothXpress.  
The J5 comes with a bottle of milk fat dissolver (Cappuccino  
Cleaner). This is the fastest and easiest way to remove any milk  
residue from the frothXpress.  
• The steam button is set to 20 seconds of steaming.  
• Push the steam button (Fig. 3). Display shows HEATING.  
• When the display shows READY immerse the tip of the frother  
into the milk (Fig. 20) and push the steam button. With the  
cylinder pushed down, small frothing bubbles will build up on  
the surface. With the cylinder pushed up, steam will heat up  
the milk without creating froth. Both positions will create a  
distinctive sound.  
• Remove the frothXpress from the nozzle.  
Take the frothXpress apart (Fig. 17).  
IMPORTANT:  
• Place all parts including the hose in a cup with warm water  
and add one cap-full (15 ml or 1/2oz.) of the cappuccino liquid.  
• Let sit for ten minutes or overnight.  
• If the steam output stops, you can push the steam button  
again and continue.  
You can always stop the frothing action by pushing any of the  
beverage buttons.  
• Rinse all parts under fresh water and assemble.  
• When you are finished with frothing/steaming set the pitcher  
aside and prepare a shot or a double shot of espresso. Add  
the frothed/steam milk to taste.  
12.2 USING THE DUAL FROTHER PLUS  
The Dual Frother Plus is ideal if you want to froth or steam milk

Tips for frothing (Cappuccino):  
off) and let a bit of hot water run through the Steam Nozzle.  
Tip: If the steam nozzle is blocked by hardened milk, use a  
needle, toothpick or paper clip and loosen up the milk deposit.  
Then let some hot water pass through the Steam Nozzle.  
The tip of the frother should not touch the bottom of your pitcher.  
Start in the steaming position – cylinder "up" (Fig. 19) – for a few  
seconds. Then push the cylinder "down". Milk froth will build up.  
This way the froth on top of your milk is also warm. If the frothed  
milk is not warm enough, continue in the steaming position.  
Steaming and frothing directly in your cappuccino/latte cup:  
With practice, you can steam and froth directly in your  
cappuccino cup. First steam and froth the milk, then add your  
espresso shot.  
13. USING HOT WATER  
With the hot water button you can  
• pre-warm your coffee cups,  
• make tea,  
• add hot water to an espresso to create a Café Americano,  
• wet a paper towel to clean the surface and the drip tray.  
The factory setting of the hot water button is 5 oz. and tempera-  
12.2.1 CLEANING THE DUAL FROTHER PLUS

the groove of the frother tip must be free of milk deposits (Fig. 21).  
If these parts contain hardened milk particles, it will be impossible  
to froth milk properly.  
You can override the volume during operation as follows.  
• Place a cup underneath the frother. READY.  
• Push the hot water button. Display shows WATER and then  
briefly HOT then WATER again.  
Fast cleaning:  
READY. Place a cup underneath the frother and push the Hot  
Water button (Fig. 3). Let hot water run through the frother for  
about 3 seconds and then stop. This will flush out any small milk  
droplets.  
• While water is pumped through the frother turn the rotary dial  
to increase (up to 15 oz.) or decrease the volume.  
You can always stop the flow of hot water by pushing any  
beverage button or the button inside the rotary dial.  
Thorough cleaning of the Dual Frother parts:  
• Remove the Dual Frother from the Steam Nozzle (Fig. 18) and  
take apart (Fig. 21)  
Soak all three parts in warm water and add a half a cap of the  
cappuccino cleaner liquid. Let sit for 10 minutes or overnight.  
• Rinse with fresh water and assemble.  
14. WATER CARE  
Water is heated inside the machine. This leads to calcium  
deposits forming inside the machine. The J5 works with:  
• regular tap water • bottled water • distilled water.  
We recommend using regular tap water or bottled water. Distilled  
water has no minerals and does not improve the taste of coffee.  
Tap water has a varying degree of water hardness (chapter 16).  
Most bottled water has a low level of water hardness.  
12.2.2 CLEANING THE STEAM NOZZLE (Fig. 18)  
• Place a cup underneath the Steam Nozzle (the Dual Frother is

You have the following options to take care of the water.  
• Clearyl Water Filter Cartridge (chapter 15).  
Important: Never install the cartridge before or during  
"Preparing Machine For The First Time" (chapter 6).  
READY  
• Decalcifying System (chapter 18.3).  
1. Push and hold the Rotary Dial until the display shows RINSE.  
2. Turn the Dial clockwise until the display shows FILTER –.  
3. Push the Rotary dial. The display shows NO –.  
4. Turn the dial until YES appears and push the dial again. OK.  
5. The display shows alternating INSERT RINSE and the rinse  
button illuminates.  
Your machine is pre-set in the factory to automatically remind  
you to decalcify based on a water hardness of Level 2. You can  
change the water hardness setting to comply with the water you  
are using (chapter 16.1).  
Please note: The machine will automatically remind you when it  
is necessary to run certain water maintenance programs. It is  
important that you follow those instructions. Otherwise your  
machine may not function properly.  
6. Remove the Clearyl cartridge from its bag and rinse cartridge  
under water.  
7. Add the extension rod to the cartridge (Fig. 23).  
8. Remove the water tank, make sure it is empty.  
9. Pull up the cartridge holder and insert the cartridge with its  
tapered end down into the water container (Fig. 24, 25, 26).  
10. Make sure it fits securely inside the fins. Push down gently  
(Fig. 25).  
15. CLEARYL WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE  
The machine comes with one Clearyl Water Filter Cartridge.  
To reorder cartridges, see chapter 25.  
The Clearyl cartridge  
• transforms your tap water into pH-neutral water and reduces  
water hardness up to 75%,  
• cleans the water through an upward current principle (Fig. 22)  
just before the brewing cycle starts, ensuring freshly filtered  
water every time you make coffee,  
• removes (if present) up to 85% chlorine, up to 90% lead, up to  
95% copper and up to 67% aluminum,  
• contains only pure organic materials (ion exchangers and  
active carbon) with no chemical additives,  
• preserves fluorides and minerals,  
11. Close the cartridge holder. Make sure the holder snaps into  
place.  
12. Fill the water tank with fresh cold water and replace.  
13. Place a 20 oz. container under the steam nozzle (Fig. 18).  
14. Press the rinse button. FILTER RINSING.  
15. Approx. 16 oz of cold water is pushed through the filter and  
through the frother. The rinsing water might be slightly  
discolored. This is not harmful and does not affect the taste  
of your next coffee. The rinsing stops automatically.  
HEATING. READY.  
• eliminates decalcifying except when using extremely hard  
water (25 grains or higher), see chapter 16. In this case we  
recommended to decalcify the machine once or twice a year.  
Please note: As long as the filter is activated, the water  
hardness setting is automatically turned off.  
21.  
 
15.2 AUTOMATIC CLEARYL REPLACEMENT  
Eventually the filter needs to be replaced. Over time and  
depending on the amount of water, the filter will cease to work.  
The machine cannot monitor the time aspect. It monitors the  
water volume. After approx. 75 liters of water use (~2,500 oz.)  
the display shows alternating READY FILTER and the rinse  
button illuminates. It’s time to replace the filter.  
Important: If the filter is older than two months it needs to be  
replaced, regardless how much water has been processed.  
At that time the filter has lost its calcium suppressing abilities  
and calcium will build up inside the machine. Since the Water  
Hardness Selector is off, the machine will not remind you  
when to decalcify. This could clog and damage your machine.  
READY FILTER  
• Push the dial. The display shows CHANGE.  
• Continue as described in chapter 15.2, steps 2 to 5.  
15.4 DO NOT LET THE CLEARYL FILTER DRY OUT!  
If the filter is not immersed in water for a few days the granular  
inside will dry out and will block any water from passing through.  
• If you don’t use the machine for a few days, always leave  
some water in the water tank. This way the filter will not dry  
out. Once you start using the machine again, fill the water tank  
with fresh water and process approx. 2 oz. of water through  
the hot water spout. Now you have totally fresh water for your  
first cup of coffee.  
• If you don’t use the machine for a longer period of time, empty  
the water container and remove the CLEARYL filter. Fill a glass  
with at least 2 inches of water and immerse the filter. Place the  
glass in the refrigerator. Don’t lose the extension rod (Fig. 23).  
• When you start using the machine again, install the filter.  
1. Push the Rinse Button. CHANGE  
2. Remove the water tank.  
3. Remove the old filter and unclip the extension rod aside.  
IMPORTANT: Keep the extension rod (Fig. 23). The used filter  
cartridge is environmentally friendly and can be disposed with  
your regular household trash.  
4. Remove the new cartridge from its bag and rinse under  
running water.  
16. WATER HARDNESS MONITOR  
Your J5 is set to a water hardness of 10ºdH. If you have not  
activated the Clearyl Cartridge the J5 will remind you when it is  
time to perform a decalcifying cycle. The machine is set to  
medium hard water. If you have harder water you need to set it  
to a higher level. If you have softer water you can set it to a  
lower level. If you are not sure about the hardness of your water,  
ask your local water company for the "Water Hardness in  
Grains." The machine will show you the water hardness in the  
German hardness scale (which is a bit different from the  
American "Grain" scale (see chart below). You can also use the  
enclosed water hardness indicator strip to determine the water  
hardness:  
5. Now install as explained in chapter 15.1, steps 7 to 15.

tain the taste and aroma of your coffee beverages.  
• Start the day with fresh, cold water.  
• Don’t fill more beans into the bean container than you use in  
two or three days. Store the rest of your beans in a dry dark  
place. Oxygen, light, heat and moisture diminish the aroma of  
the coffee bean.  
19. EMPTYING SYSTEM BEFORE TRANSPORT  
If you transport the machine or if you send it to another place  
please follow these steps.  
• If you have not used your machine for a few days, brew one  
30.  
 
short coffee and discard. The next cup will taste a lot better.  
• Always pre-warm your cup with hot water (chapter 10).  
• Keep the coffee spouts as close as possible to the cups to  
maximize crema.  
20.3 CLEANING METAL CONTACTS / TRAY MISSING

Take a paper towel and wipe this screen.  
• Descaling the machine (chapter 18.3).  
20.2 CLEANING THE BEAN CONTAINER  
Coffee oils might build up inside the bean container. These oils  
might reduce the taste of your coffee. Too much oil might also  
hinder the beans from flowing freely into the grinder. Clean the  
bean container from time to time.  
• Replace the complete drawer (Fig. 1, parts 8, 9, 10, 11)  
Turn the machine on again with the On/Off button (Fig. 2).

32.  
 
D. THE DISPLAY READS "FILL WATER" BUT THERE IS  
ENOUGH WATER IN THE WATER TANK.  
Solution 4: Check the steam nozzle (chapter 12.2.2).  
If any parts are missing call Customer Service 1-800-220-5701.  
Reason: The low water” floatation device is missing.  
Solution: Within the water tank is a small compartment (like a  
F. GRINDER MAKES AN EXTREMELY LOUD NOISE;  
mouse trap). Inside is a small black floatation device. On top is a NO BEANS ARE GROUND  
small clear see-through plastic cover. This small plastic cover is  
missing and the floatation device is outside of the small com-  
partment. Check if you can find both pieces inside the water  
tank and put it back together. If you cannot find the pieces call  
1-800-220-5701. We will send the pieces FREE OF CHARGE.  
Reason: A stone or something else is blocking the burr grinder.  
Solution: See chapter 25.  
G. THE REMOVABLE DRAWER (Fig.1.11) DOES NOT PULL OUT  
Reason: The internal used coffee disposal chute did not retract.  
Solution:  
E. INSUFFICIENT FROTHED MILK PRODUCTION  
• If you had sufficient froth initially it is likely that one or more  
frother parts are not completely clean and that some hardened  
milk or milk fat prevents the frothing results you had before.  
• If you use different kind of milk, it is possible that some milk  
will produce less froth.  
• The frothXpress will always produce more frothing on top of  
the milk than the Dual Frother.  
• The Dual Frother can produce froth with more dense milk  
bubbles than the frothXpress.  
Turn off the machine (Fig. 2). Wait a minute. Turn machine on  
and wait until it stops making any noise.  
• Now try to pull out the drawer.  
• If this does not work, turn the machine off again and wait a  
minute.  
• Now pull the drawer out with some force. Make sure that the  
Used Coffee Container (Fig. 1.8) is removed.  
• Insert the drawer (without the used coffee container) into the  
machine. Turn the machine on. Wait until all noise has stopped.  
The disposable chute should retract. Remove the drawer,  
replace the used coffee container and insert it back into the  
machine. Check if the drawer comes out easily.  
Solution 1: Use the frothXpress (chapter 12.1) instead of the  
Dual Frother.  
Solution 2: Clean the frothXpress, especially the small venting  
tip (Fig. 17). Check if the flexible tip is free of any milk residue.  
When squeezing the flexible part is should open. Make sure all  
parts of the frothXpress are clean and assembled tightly. Check  
if any parts of the frothXpress are missing (Fig. 17).  
Solution 3: Take the Dual Frother apart and make sure that all  
grooves and holes are free of milk deposits (Fig. 21)
