Coffee Machine Water filter
Water is the most important part of coffee. Jura CLARIS filters purify and reduce hardness of water using the intelligent water system. The filter to be used will depend on the model and make of your machine.
Our Jura Automatic Machines use CLARIS Intelligent Filter . However, you may own an older model automatic coffee maker that predates the introduction of the Smart Filter . Your machine will most likely be using the CLARIS blue or white. Smart filters are RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) enabled, which allows the coffee machine monitor the filter continuously. The machine will automatically activate when the filter is inserted and prompt you to replace it.
By replacing your automatic coffee maker water filter correctly and consistently, you can protect your machine from limescale accumulation. This will prolong the time between descales.
This article will give you a complete rundown of the advantages to using filtered coffee machine water.
Automatic Cleaning Cycle
Most of Jura’s automatic espresso machines are equipped with a self-cleaning unit that requires no maintenance. The cleaning process can be started by pressing a single button. The Jura 2-Phase Cleaning Tablets are designed specifically for maintaining your Jura Coffee Machine and maintaining the highest standards of hygiene.
– Cleaning Phase I:
The formula is designed to remove coffee particles and fat from the sieve and brewing unit. The inside and outside of these components are thoroughly cleaned with water heated to 80 degrees Celsius.
– Phase II protection:
The special active ingredients protect the components from coffee residues and fats for a long time.
The result
The machine is hygienically cleaned and ready to produce the best coffee. When a cleaning cycle needs to be performed, the machine will alert you.
Milk Line Clean
Jura’s Milk Line Cleaner has been designed to remove residues and milk fat from areas such as the milk spout. To maintain the highest level of hygiene, and ensure high-quality production of milk, the milk line should be cleaned regularly. The instructions for all Jura machines are very easy to understand and follow.
Some Jura automatic coffee machines have a ‘Set & Forget” function. You only have to fill your container with the Jura milkline cleaner solution, start the cleaning process, and the machine will do the rest.
Decaling
Jura recommends using filters for their coffee machines. This is especially true for professional machines that are used frequently. If you do not want to use filters, then the Jura Descaler Tablets can be used. They are phosphate free and have been specially designed by Jura to remove the scale from your machine and to extend its service life.
The tablets are easy to use and will prevent the accumulation of limescale, which can slow down the healing process. This could cause the machine to consume more energy, or even fail. This can also cause an unpleasant taste to appear in the water, which will affect the quality of coffee that your machine produces.
General Coffee Machine Maintenance
To avoid mold growth inside your machine, it is essential to clean and empty the drip tray and grounds container when instructed or on a regular basis. Cleaning behind the drip tray will benefit the machine, as well as wiping the sensors. The sensors will stop working if the drip tray or grounds container is not present. A dry brush or cloth is the best way to remove any loose ground coffee from behind the trays.
Crema suggests that you treat your coffee machine as you would your automobile. It is important to have your machine serviced annually to make sure everything is working properly. However, it is you who will ensure that it continues to produce beautiful coffee for years to come.
