How to choose Jura cleaning and care products
A Jura automatic machine needs four kinds of care: cleaning tablets for the coffee side, descaling tablets (or a CLARIS filter instead), milk system cleaner if your machine froths milk, and replacement filters. Here is what each one does and which pack to buy.
Jura 3-phase cleaning tablets
JURA's 3-phase tablets work with the machine's cleaning programme. They remove coffee fats between the brewing unit and the coffee spout and coat the internal pipes to slow new build-up. They also contain complexing agents that protect against mineral deposits. The 6 pack suits a single home machine. The 25 pack is JURA's professional size, so it costs less per tablet for offices or heavy home use. Cafetto's J25 tablets are made for Jura and Krups automatics and come in jars of 60.
Jura descaling tablets
Limescale causes faults, slows heating so the machine uses more energy, and can affect flavour. JURA's 2-phase descaling tablets remove scale while protecting the machine. Choose the 9 pack for home use or the 36 pack for busier machines. If you use a CLARIS filter, JURA says you don't need to descale. Other descaler formats are in our descalers and decalcifiers range.
CLARIS water filters
A CLARIS cartridge sits in the water tank and filters water before it reaches the machine. That protects the machine and, according to JURA, removes the need to descale. CLARIS Smart+, Blue+ and White cartridges last 40 to 65 litres, depending on how hard your water is. Each cartridge only fits certain machines, so match the one already in your tank or check your manual:
- Smart+ (grey): single or 3 pack
- Blue+: single or 3 pack
- White: single
- CLARIS Pro: JURA's professional range, for office and workplace machines. The Pro Smart+ filters about 300 litres in soft water and about 80 litres in very hard water.
Jura milk system cleaner
Milk fat and protein build up in milk tubes quickly. JURA's mini tabs work with the machine's automatic milk cleaning programme and are portioned so each clean gets the right amount. The 90 g bottle covers 30 cleans and the 180 g covers 60. The 375 g refill covers 125 cleans and tops up your existing bottle. If you prefer a liquid, Cafetto's BLUE and Organic GREEN milk frother cleaners are mixed with warm water and run through the milk system.
Genuine Jura or Cafetto?
JURA formulates its tablets and cleaners for the programmes in its own machines and recommends original JURA maintenance products, so if your machine is under warranty, stay with genuine JURA products and follow the care steps in your manual. Cafetto makes compatible alternatives that often cost less, and they are a reasonable choice for an older machine out of warranty. If you're buying for a new machine, the Jura Care Kit gets you started in one purchase.
FAQs
Do I need to descale my Jura if I use a CLARIS filter?
No. JURA says a CLARIS filter cartridge removes the need to descale, because it filters the water in the tank before it reaches the heating system. The catch is that the cartridge must be replaced when it's spent. A CLARIS Smart+, Blue+ or White cartridge lasts 40 to 65 litres, depending on your water hardness. Without a filter, use Jura descaling tablets when your machine needs descaling.
What is the difference between Jura cleaning tablets and descaling tablets?
They clean different things. 3-phase cleaning tablets remove coffee oils and fats from the brewing path between the brewing unit and the spout, and coat the pipes to slow build-up. 2-phase descaling tablets remove limescale from the water side of the machine. Limescale can cause faults, slow heating and affect flavour. Most Jura owners need cleaning tablets. Descaling tablets are only needed if you don't use a CLARIS filter.
How long does a Jura CLARIS filter last?
It depends on your water hardness. JURA rates CLARIS Smart+, Blue+ and White cartridges for up to 65 litres in very soft water, falling to about 40 litres in very hard water. The professional CLARIS Pro Smart+ is rated for about 300 litres in soft water and about 80 litres in very hard water. Buying a 3 pack lowers the cost per cartridge.
Can I use Cafetto J25 tablets in a Jura coffee machine?
Cafetto says its J25 tablets are made for selected Jura and Krups fully automatic machines. They dissolve in the automatic cleaning cycle and remove coffee oils and residue. Use them in place of Jura's cleaning tablets and follow the steps in your machine's manual. JURA itself recommends original JURA maintenance products, which are formulated for its programmes.
How many cleans do you get from Jura milk system cleaner mini tabs?
JURA rates the 90 g bottle for 30 cleans and the 180 g bottle for 60. The 375 g refill bottle covers 125 cleans and is designed to refill the dispensing bottle you already have, which cuts packaging. The tabs work with your machine's automatic milk system cleaning programme to remove milk fats and proteins from the tubes.
How often should I clean my Jura coffee machine?
Follow your machine's prompts and manual, because the interval depends on the model and how much coffee you make. Run the cleaning programme with a 3-phase tablet when the machine asks for it. Clean the milk system regularly if you make milk drinks, since milk fat and protein build up in the tubes. Busy offices go through tablets much faster, so the 25 pack usually works out better value.
