So I've had a manual machine the better part of the last decade. My Expobar Office Pulsar finally gave in after 8 years. On the market for a replacement when I came across the C5. Super-automatic has proven a good choice and I'm not sure what this machine could do that would make it better....

I had researched many super-automatics, and decided on the C5. Couldn't be happier with my decision! Espresso (ILLY Medium Roast) has the perfect crema and a smooth, non-bitter taste. I also added the Professional Frother Add-On and the Cool Control Milk container to enhance my coffee experience....

I am thinking of buying a Jura C5. I have heard that you should avoid using an oily bean. Seems like a dumb question, but how will I know. We normally use Rio Grande Roasters whole beans in our current maker. I am not sure if this would be considered "oily". Any tips would be appreciated!

How do you like this machine? I am having a problem with the right darkness of the coffee.

mjackson ♦ Carmela,
I am not sure what your question means if you are having trouble getting a dark enough coffee or if you are having trouble grinding a dark coffee bean. If you are not getting a strong enough coffee then up your dosage in the programming to get a stronger cup.Also make your grind finer. This will help. If you are having trouble with a darker oilier bean then it may be wise to try a lighter roasted bean that will give you a stronger taste. I would try the Lavazza Super Crema. It will give you a stronger taste without the dark roast problems you are experiencing.I hope this helps and let us know if you have any questions.
what is the most important feature for getting the hottest espresso is it the pump or other aspects

Michael Rosso ♦ Alcira...The pump provides the pressure to extract the espresso during the brewing process. Espresso is brewed between 8 to 9 bars of pressure. The hottest espresso is determined by how the engineers have designed the boiler and heating element to work together. Other factors include what type of brew group the machine uses and if it is heated. Also Pre-brewing and keeping the porta filter (in the case of a semi automatic espresso machine)hot by leaving it attached to the brew group when not in use. Thanks.
Dear Mark, I bought a Delonghi magnifica from starbucks about three years ago, I'm thinking of buying a Jura c5 I notice the bar pressure of the Jura is 18, the delonghi is 15, does a higher bar pressure give you a better creama, I miss the Brooklyn cafes, I live in North Dakota now and they don't have a clue what real espresso is. Is there another machine in the same price range that has a higher than 18 bar pressure. Thanks for your time. Steven Gallo

Michael Rosso ♦ Steve...Higher pressure does not make better espresso. Espresso is best brewed at 8 bars of pressure. In fact if the pressure is too high it will alter the taste of the espresso.
I am looking for the specs on this machine. I would like to compare it to another one that I am considering. Is there a reason why there are no specs listed for this machine?
Thank you,

mjackson ♦ Sharon,
I am sorry there is not specifications on that machine. We try to update as often as possible. It is a very good machine and is similar to the ENA 3 by Jura but the C5 has a lit rotary dial for you coffee brewing selection. I hope this helps and let us know if you have any more questions.
Good Afternoon,
We are thinking of purchasing the Jura Impressa C5 for our company. Will this unit be sufficient for an office of 10 employees? Or do we need to get a higher model? If we need the upgraded model - are there lease options available?
Please advise.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

ToddS Will this machine work for an office wtih 10 employees? Well, it depends on what you expect out of it. If you expect to blast through 10 cappuccino's at break time then you will be disappointed. If it is going to get occasional use by 5 out of the 10 folks then not problem. Remember that this is home machine so you will have to empty the drip tray and used coffee container quite a few times. You may want to look at the Gaggia Titanium Office as it has a much larger used coffee container and drip tray. If everybody at the office is looking to turn the break room into a cafe then you may want to look at a "prosumer" machine like the Expobar that can brew and steam at the same time. With it you will need a good grinder and your capacity will increase but it will take a little more training.

A A Michele,
I am not familiar with those beans... However, if you can easily see oil on the beans, then they are not going to be good for your machine. If you look in a back of Starbucks Coffee, you will see what I mean about "clearly seeing oil".
