Top ranking twice over Double victory with Stiftung Warentest In the 12 / 2013 issue of the German consumer magazine ‘test’, two automatic speciality coffee machines from JURA – the IMPRESSA C50 and the ENA Micro 9 One Touch – emerged as victors in their respective classes. The newly tested IMPRESSA C50 / C55 took first place in the ‘Espresso automatics without cappuccino automatic’ category. Stiftung Warentest singled out its outstanding hygiene standards for special mention: ‘After 1500 brewing operations, it is still in remarkably good condition. The cleaning programme did its job perfectly,’ was the verdict. Like all JURA models, the automatic machine features a variable, maintenance-free brewing unit with built-in cleaning at the touch of a button. All of which guarantees perfect hygiene. TÜV Rheinland (Germany’s main technical inspection association) also confirmed this in its own independent test. The IMPRESSA C50 / C55 also performed well in the categories ‘handling’, ‘safety’ and ‘environmental features’, for which it receive a ‘good’ grading. The independent testers also gave the automatic machine good marks for ‘sensor technology’ and ‘technical inspection’. The ENA Micro 9 One Touch had already earned itself a first place among the automatic speciality coffee machines ‘with cappuccino automatic’ and defended its position in the overall review in issue 12 / 2013. The jury praised its fast, simple operation, its economic consumption and the outstanding quality of the coffee it produced. The slender profile of the smallest One Touch automatic from JURA impressed the jury as much as the fabulous coffee specialities. «
