JURA launches the world's smallest One-Touch cappuccino machine

A fresh concept in the world of coffee – downsized to simplicity

Anyone who appreciates expertly made speciality coffees, but has a kitchen where space is at a premium, will love the ENA Micro 9 One Touch from JURA. At the touch of a button, it prepares a whole range of speciality beverages from ristretto to latte macchiato, using fresh beans which are freshly ground and extracted every time. The machine settings can also be adjusted to suit personal taste. The new one-cup machine not only looks elegant in any kitchen, but also offers excellent quality for the price.

Coffee in all its exciting variations is growing in popularity like few other drinks - and not just here in Switzerland. It takes us through the day, makes the perfect end to a meal, and is the ideal drink for a cosy gathering of friends. Coffee has become part of a certain lifestyle, an expression of good taste. In addition to classic favourites like café crème, espresso and ristretto, a growing number of coffee lovers are discovering fashionable specialities with milk and milk foam, such as cappuccino and latte macchiato. And to enable people to enjoy their favourite beverage at home, even with limited space, JURA has developed the world's smallest automatic speciality coffee machine. Capable of preparing the full repertoire of speciality drinks at the touch of a button, it also features modern fine foam technology to finish each cup with a layer of fine milk foam. These qualities make the ENA Micro 9 the ideal choice for people buying their first automatic coffee machine, or looking to upgrade to a new model.

Efficient and sustainable Like all JURA machines, the new compact model uses fresh beans to prepare the most delicious coffee. This not only avoids waste, but also allows users to select the beans of their choice each time. JURA has always believed in the importance of environmental responsibility, which is why the new model features an energy-saving mode and Zero-Energy Switch. The ENA Micro 9 not only satisfies the requirements of energy class A but actually exceeds the European energy efficiency standards due to come into force in 2013.

Cutting-edge technology At 32 cm high, the ENA Micro 9 is an amazing 11% smaller than the ENA line, JURA's established compact series. And at a modest 23 cm wide, the front of the machine is only slightly larger than a sheet of A4 paper. The secret behind this feat of miniaturisation is the new, variable Micro brewing unit, which is specially designed to prepare a single cup. It extracts the best from every blend and roast for maximum flavour. JURA's new compact model also features easy-to-use preparation buttons, a height-adjustable coffee spout (55 mm - 138 mm) and a user-friendly display. As well as being easy to use, the machine is easy to care for, with a maintenance programme that runs at the touch of a button and TÜV-certified hygiene guarantee.

Eye-catching design The simple, elegant forms reflect JURA's unique and timeless style. The shape is set off by the trendy micro silver colour, transforming the ENA Micro 9 into an interior design object that is sure to be a talking point in every home.

GIGA 5 brings barista quality home

On 2 September 2011, Swiss coffee machine expert JURA will be presenting its latest product, the GIGA 5, at IFA in Berlin. Developed by the innovation leader in automatic speciality coffee machines, based in Niederbuchsiten, the GIGA 5 sets new standards of professionalism, perfection and precision. The new machine has features previously seen only in professional models. In short, the GIGA 5 brings barista quality home.

Emanuel Probst, CEO of JURA Elektroapparate AG, is enthusiastic about the company's new product: "The GIGA 5 heralds a new era. Aimed at the super premium segment, it is intended for home use yet combines the most professional technical features with unique design."

The epitome of quality – doubled

The GIGA 5 is packed full of technical innovations. With two ceramic disc grinders, two heating systems, two high-performance pumps, two flowmeters and two fluid systems, the new flagship in the JURA fleet can even serve two speciality coffees at once. What's more, the virtually noiseless grinders operate independently of each other, so you can add different types of coffee beans to each container to create your own personal blend. All it takes is one touch of a button.

For the classic caffè latte, which is enjoying a resurgence in popularity, the GIGA 5 has a feature previously seen only in coffee bars or restaurants. Thanks to some ingenious engineering, the coffee and milk flow into the cup simultaneously to create the ultimate caffè latte. The sophisticated yet intuitive operating system, with the "turn-and-press" Rotary Switch, makes it quick and easy to prepare other speciality coffees too.

The multi-award-winning manufacturer has also raised the bar when it comes to the design of the GIGA 5. High-quality materials are combined with precise craftsmanship to create a pure, minimalist design that focuses on clean, simple lines. One eye-catching feature is the Venti Ports, the striking ventilation slats which work together with the electronic fans to pump warm air out of the machine and let fresh air in, because the double systems produce both steam and heat. Harmoniously integrated into the top of the machine, they are reminiscent of a classic sports car.

The GIGA 5 will be available last quarter of 2011 in select Jura retailers in the Philippines

Nitrogen Flushed Packing: In Pursuit of the Perfect Cup of Coffee

Dear Friends,

I’m excited to announce that our unending passion for perfect cup of coffee has lead us to another advancement in our coffee packing technology. To ensure that the coffee we deliver to our clients is at it’s freshest; Conlins has built a nitrogen-flushing process into our production line.

Nitrogen is a non-reactive stable gas that will not produce any reactions to food products; it is food-friendly, has no flavor, color or other molecular content that would cause unwanted effects on the coffee. When used together with a one-way valve, the nitrogen molecules pushes the oxygen molecules out the packaging, because Nitrogen’s molecules have a larger diameter than oxygen, the coffee beans freshness and flavor are preserved for a longer duration of time.

Nitrogen renders the CO2 given off by the coffee inert thus significantly reducing the coffee’s aging process. Under normal humidity and temperature conditions, a sealed package that has been nitrogen-flushed will preserve coffee for up to 12 months or more.

Conlins Coffee World Inc, who has recently been accredited with ISO 2200, continues to bring continued innovations and advancement to bring you the freshest and the best coffee beans available.

Sincerely,

Michael Harris Conlin

President

Conlins Coffee World Inc.

Coffee Freshness- Why is nitrogen flushing important?

The rate of coffee staling will depend upon the amount of contact with oxygen. Conditions of heat and added moisture will accelerate staling. Moisture-resistant sealed packaging with a minimum of oxygen content is the key to coffee shelf life. Studies have found that In the presence of oxygen, coffee stales rapidly: whole-bean coffee within a few weeks; ground coffee; with its greater surface area, even more quickly.

  The air we breath is composed of 20% Oxygen so when coffee roasters seal their coffee with out nitrogen flushing bag of coffee will have still contain 20% Oxygen. By using a combination of a one-way-valve and Nitrogen flushing we can effectively expel the oxygen in our packaging to almost 99.8% oxygen free.
