The Jura Impressa Z7 is the first espresso maker in the Z series to feature a one-touch latte-macchiato button. It produces a variety of espresso-based beverages at the touch of one button, adjusts the coffee strength and amount of milk during brewing and is energy efficient, drawing no energy when turned off but plugged in. The butterfly-design coffee spout moves in and out, and up and down. capresso.com
