For professional Jura machines only
The intelligent water filter
Coffee is 98% water. This means that the quality of the water must be impeccable in order to achieve a perfect result. With CLARIS Smart, JURA is revolutionising water filtration. For the first time, an automatic coffee machine* communicates constantly with the filter using modern RFID (radio frequency identification) technology.
It detects the presence of a filter and automatically activates the corresponding mode. It continuously collects information on the use of the filter and indicates when it is exhausted. As a result, filter replacement has never been easier and CLARIS Smart can be used to its full potential.
Pure water for great tasting coffee
CLARIS Smart works according to the professional upflow principle and filters precisely the amount of water needed for the preparation. This ensures that the filter is used efficiently. There is no stagnant water left in the water tank that could quickly become contaminated with germs.
In addition to limescale, heavy metals and substances that impair the taste and smell of water, such as chlorine, are also removed. The healthy minerals are retained. The result: pure water for perfect coffee specialities, with optimum protection of the coffee machine against limescale.
Automatic filter detection
JURA uses modern RFID technology to enable the filter and the coffee machine to communicate. The machine automatically detects the presence of a filter with the Intelligent Water System (I.W.S.®). It then switches itself to filter mode and starts the rinse.
When the filter capacity is reached, the coffee machine indicates that the filter will soon need to be replaced. If this is not done, the machine activates the descaling mode. The machine will then request descaling after the corresponding duration of use. To do this, the filter must be removed. Thus, operating errors resulting from comprehension problems are a thing of the past.
Limescale: a source of breakdowns and a destroyer of taste
Limescale is deposited when the water is heated. It shrinks the diameter of the pipes, which lengthens heating times and increases electricity consumption, and can even lead to a complete breakdown of the machine. Limescale also affects the taste of coffee. In small quantities, it is an important taste enhancer. On the other hand, a high limescale content in the water gives it an unpleasant aftertaste and prevents the optimal development of the coffee's aroma, also due to temperature fluctuations.
