Frother into the milk and push the Steam Button.

the hot steam warm up the milk for a few seconds.

11. BREWING COFFEE AND ESPRESSO
(

)

• Place one or two cups underneath Dual Coffee Spouts and

push the desired button.

The Impressa J5 will grind, tamp and then brew the coffee. It

uses a 2-step brewing process (Pre-Brew Aroma System).
First, it moistens the ground coffee (pre-brew phase), pauses
for a few seconds, and then starts the brewing process. The
display will show the name of the button you pushed, e.g.

and then the strength, e.g. 

and then 

again. The brewing process stops automatically

as soon as the programmed volume of coffee is produced. 
Very Important: After the brewing stops, the J5 will discard the
used coffee. Please do not pull out the drawer (Fig. 1.11)
during this time. It can seriously damage the machine. There
is no need to pull out the drawer unless you see the message

, see chapter 21.

When the display shows 

you can brew the next cup of

coffee.
Please note: You can always stop the brewing process by
pushing the Rotary Dial or any of the beverage buttons.
This will not affect the programmed values.

With the J5’s override feature you are always able to change
certain settings just before brewing without affecting the pre-set
values. This is a great feature if you desire a different kind of 
coffee which is not programmed. (For changing programmed
values see chapter 17.2).
• For the two single-cup coffee buttons you can override the 

strength and the coffee volume.

• For the two double-cup coffee buttons you can override the 

coffee volume (those two buttons will always brew in the 
XSTRONG setting).
