Melbourne, 19 February 2012 – On 16 January 2012, Swiss coffee machine expert JURA presented its latest product, the GIGA 5, at the launch of its new Hospitality Centre in Melbourne. Developed by the innovation leader in automatic specialty coffee machines, based in Niederbuchsiten, the GIGA 5 sets new standards of professionalism, perfection and precision. The new machine has features previously seen only in professional models. In short, the GIGA 5 brings barista quality home.
George Liakatos, National Head of Sales of JURA Australia Espresso Pty Ltd, is enthusiastic about the company’s new product: "The GIGA 5 heralds a new era. Aimed at the super premium segment, it is intended for home use yet combines the most professional technical features with unique design."
The epitome of quality – doubled
The GIGA 5 is packed full of technical innovations. With two ceramic disc grinders, two heating systems, two high-performance pumps, two flow meters and two fluid systems, the new flagship in the JURA fleet can even serve two specialty coffees at once. What's more, the virtually noiseless
grinders operate independently of each other, so you can add different types of coffee beans to each container to create your own personal blend. All it takes is one touch of a button.
For the classic café latte, which is synonymous with Australian coffee drinkers, the GIGA 5 has a feature previously seen only in coffee bars or restaurants. Thanks to some ingenious engineering, the coffee and milk flow into the cup simultaneously to create the ultimate café latte. The sophisticated yet intuitive operating system, with the "turn-and-press" Rotary Switch, makes it quick and easy to prepare other specialty coffees too.
The multi-award-winning manufacturer has also raised the bar when it comes to the design of the GIGA 5. High-quality materials are combined with precise craftsmanship to create a pure, minimalist design that focuses on clean, simple lines. One eye-catching feature is the Venti Ports, the striking ventilation slats which work together with the electronic fans to pump warm air out of the machine and let fresh air in, because the double systems produce both steam and heat. Harmoniously integrated into the top of the machine, they are reminiscent of a classic sports car.
The GIGA 5 will be available from selected retailers throughout Australia from April. The recommended retail price is $5,950.
