JURA Champions Design with Latest Launch JURA creates a world first in the home coffee category; cold brew coffee at the touch of a button.
J
URA has developed the pioneering cold brew process – cold water is pulsed slowly through the freshly ground coffee
under high pressure. The result is a completely new way of discovering coffee – refreshing, energising, and wonderfully balanced in aroma. As a masterpiece of Swiss engineering, the new Z10 doubles the range of coffee specialties. At the push of a button, it prepares the entire range of hot products, from intense espresso to hip flat white. In addition, with cold brew specialties, it opens up a whole parallel universe of coffee enjoyment for the first time. This is made possible by the Product Recognising Grinder (PRG), which recognises the selected specialty and adapts the grinding fineness exactly to it at lightning speed. The superlative premium fully automatic
machine can be controlled via a double-speed 4.3” touch screen and the Blue Crystal Rota- ry Switch. The specialty selection menu and artificial intelligence make operation particularly easy and intuitive. The technological quantum leap is reflected in the sculptural design. The convex-concave front section is the visible proof of the attention to detail and absolute manufac- turing precision. Its high quality makes the Z10 a statement of excellent taste. Wi-Fi connection is standard in the Z10, connect your smart phone to control your Z10 remotely and connect accessories such as the Cool Control. The Z10 is available in Diamond Black and Aluminium White and can be purchased directly from u
uk.jura.com from £2,145.
