With the number of "product" modes you will find on JURA's latest machines, it can get confusing as to what each one does. It was rather simple until the Z6 (not to be confused with the much earlier IMPRESSA Z6) was introduced in 2015 when JURA introduced the P.E.P. (Pulse Extraction Process) feature. JURA has added even more modes since then, especially on its higher-end models. To help you get the most out of your machine, I will explain what each mode does.
The P.E.P. feature on all JURA models since the Z6 means the machine has two extraction speeds, the normal speed and a slower "P.E.P." speed which JURA claims improves the flavor of shorter pulls. Which speed the machine uses depends on which mode is used. This list will cover all of the modes JURA has introduced across its lineup, so note that your model may not have all of these.
Later than this, JURA switched from having separate double product modes to having a "2x" button. If your model has a "2x" button, selecting it on a supported mode now runs two complete grind and extraction cycles instead of simply doubling the amount of water pulled. If your model has an "Extra Shot" option, it will be available on modes involving milk (except (Espresso) Macchiato and Cortado) and selecting it will run two grind and extraction cycles, each with half the programmed amount of water. If your model has a "Cold Brew" option, selecting it will flip an internal valve which bypasses the machine's heating system for extraction. Extraction will be slowed down to ensure flavor is maintained with unheated water. Note that the frother requires steam to function, so its heating cannot be bypassed and milk will still be hot.
Note that I am an English-speaking member, so if you speak a different language you may see a different name here to what actually appears on your machine in your language as this website auto-translates.
So here we go:
Coffee: Extracts with up to 240 ml of water in normal mode.
Ristretto, Espresso: Extracts with up to 80 ml of water in P.E.P. mode.
Espresso doppio: Runs two "Espresso" cycles. Programmed amount of water is total from both cycles combined.
Cappuccino: Froths milk into cup, then extracts espresso in normal mode. On models with a frother that electronically switches between milk and milk foam, only milk foam can be set.
Latte macchiato: Same as Cappuccino but allows an interval between steaming/frothing and extraction. Also, both milk and milk foam can be set on the models mentioned earlier.
(Espresso) Macchiato: Same as Cappuccino but espresso is extracted in P.E.P. mode.
Flat white: Extracts espresso in normal mode, then steams/froths milk into cup.
Cortado: Same as Flat white but espresso is extracted in P.E.P. mode and only milk foam can be set on models with an electronically-switching frother.
Caffè latte: On single boiler models, same as Flat white. On dual boiler models, milk will be steamed/frothed and espresso will be extracted simultaneously.
Americano/Lungo barista, Caffè barista, Lungo: On single boiler models, an internal valve will be flipped upon completion of extraction and a set amount of "bypass water" will flow directly into the cup, bypassing the coffee grounds. On dual boiler models, the secondary boiler normally used for steaming/frothing will be primed and the set amount of "bypass water" will be injected internally by the secondary boiler into the stream of espresso between the grounds and the spout during extraction, making the resulting diluted product flow from the spout.
Pot/Jug of coffee: Automatically runs up to five "Coffee" or "Americano" cycles ("strokes") depending on whether or not bypass water is set.
