The intelligent water filter

Coffee consists of 98 percent water. Accordingly, its perfect quality is essential for a flawless coffee result. With CLARIS Smart, JURA revolutionizes water filtration. For the first time, a fully automatic machine* communicates continuously with the filter thanks to modern RFID technology (RFID = Radio-frequency Identification). It detects whether a filter is installed and automatically activates the corresponding mode. It continuously collects information on filter usage and notifies when the capacity is exhausted. This not only makes filter replacement easier than ever, but CLARIS Smart can also fully develop its effectiveness.

Pure water for delicious coffee

CLARIS Smart operates according to the professional counterflow principle and always filters exactly the amount of water needed for preparation. This ensures efficient use of the filter. There is never any standing pre-filtered water left in the water tank that could quickly become contaminated. In addition to lime scale, heavy metals as well as substances that affect odor and taste, such as chlorine, are filtered out. The minerals important for health remain in the water. Result: pure water for perfect coffee specialties and at the same time optimal protection of the fully automatic machine against lime scale.

Automatic filter recognition

To enable dialogue between filter and fully automatic machine, JURA uses modern RFID technology. Every machine with the intelligent water system  (I.W.S.®) automatically detects when a filter is installed, switches itself to filter operation, and starts rinsing. When the filter performance is nearing its end, the fully automatic machine indicates the upcoming filter change. If this does not occur, the device activates the descaling mode. After appropriate use, the prompt for descaling appears. And this can only be carried out with the filter removed. Misoperation due to misunderstandings definitely belongs to the past.
