The automatic energy-saving mode, programmed switch-off time and patented Zero-Energy Switch ensure high energy efficiency. The environmentally friendly electronics uses 0 power during standby.

Pulse Extraction Process (P.E.P.) Brewing

The A1 employs Jura’s innovative Pulse Extraction Process brewing system. As opposed to a constant flow, water is instead pulsed through the grounds in short intervals that extract greater intensity and aroma while shortening the overall brew time. With P.E.P., espresso and ristretto can be prepared with greater clarity and flavor than ever before.

Aroma G3 Grinder

Jura's Aroma G3 grinder ensures quiet, even, and super fast grinding. The grinder can be adjusted to one of seven fineness settings to affect the overall extraction time, and features a refined burr set with cutting angles that have been perfected for more even grinding and higher efficiency. An integrated bypass doser allows for pre-ground coffee brewing, too.

Intelligent Pre-Brew Aroma System (I.P.B.A.S)

The Variable Brewing Unit lets you prepare your drinks with anywhere from 5-16 grams of coffee, and Jura’s Intelligent Pre-Brew Aroma System pre-infuses those grounds before brewing to ensure the best possible extraction. You can also make adjustments to the coffee temperature and volume for each individual drink.

Zero-Energy Switch

Catering to increasingly eco-conscious customers, the A1 has a patented Zero-Energy Switch, which completely disconnects it from the main power supply once it enters standby mode to ensure that it does not consume any energy. This feature will help you cut down on energy costs as well as minimize the machine’s impact on the environment.
