subject: Jura Impressa Z5 Espresso Machine: Get Your Research Done [print this page] Many people visit pricey coffee shops every day, eager to get their daily espressos, cappuccinos, or quality coffee beverages. If those same people owned a Jura Impressa Z5 espresso machine, they would be able to enjoy them in their own homes, and with only touching a button. Imagine how nice it would be to never have to to wait in line again, never having to swallow down coffee that came from a stale or burnt pot of coffee, and never having to drink sub-standard drip coffee again. How beautiful that would be!
The Jura Impressa Z5 is one of the top super automatic coffee centers out there today. If you are considering buying it, you already know that it comes with a steep price tag. This luxury machine comes with many selling features, but are there any NEGATIVE things of which you should be aware?
First let's take a look at some of the selling features that you'll like. There are eight preprogrammed drink buttons so that you may select and brew your drink with the touching of a button. The Jura Impressa Z5 coffee center is one of the quietest running espresso machines available on the market. There are 2 heating systems for swift drink preparation. The built in coffee grinder, which has six fine-ness settings, works like a charm, but you are able to at the same time brew a glass of decaf or other coffee by using the secondary grinds compartment. There is an automatic timer and shut-off feature, along with an LCD display. The coffee center is able to steam chilled milk perfectly and speedily. And not surprisingly, so much more.
And now the "negatives". If you are planning to invest in a top end coffee center, you should know what you are purchasing. First off, be aware that if you want the warranty to remain intact, then you will have to use the Capresso cleaning tablets and water filters - not a generic (less expensive) brand name. You'll also end up finding that you have to buy upper quality (and thus more expensive) coffee beans, as the grinder requires "less oily" beans. Many people unaware of this, and are surprised to discover that the cheaper or "regular" coffee beans do not work as well in the grinder. You also should be aware of possible health issues - you see, you almost no doubt will wind up drinking MORE coffee than you did before owning the Jura Impressa Z5. And of course, there also is that minor danger that you will turn into a coffee snob!
Weighing the pros and cons when you make a big purchase is important. All things considered, the pros do outweigh the cons in this case. However, you will have to decide for yourself if you want to join the ranks of those who own this luxurious machine. If you do, my guess is that you will never regret it.
