www.kitchenwarenews.com n GENERAL NEWS SEPTEMBER 2013 Jura Capresso Honored at 2013 ICON Honors for Innovative Product Design Jura Capresso was awarded an Honor for Innovative Product Design at the fourth annual ICON Honors due to the superior design of its Jura ENA Micro 9 One Touch. This is the second year in a row that ICON Honors has presented an award for a Jura product, and Jura stands out as the only brand that has received more than one award from this prestigious housewares competition. The ICON Honors award also recognized the company's Capresso brand achievements by citing the Capresso Coffee à la Carte™ Cup-to-Carafe® Coffee & Tea Maker for its innovative product design. The ICON Honors celebrates superior achievement, contribution and innovation across the home and gift industry landscape. The Jura Capresso products were chosen for their intuitive design and user-friendly features that make it easier and more convenient than ever to prepare specialty coffee drinks. The world's smallest one-touch automatic cappuccino machine, the Jura ENA Micro 9 One Touch is just 9" wide, 17.5" deep and 12.7" high, and offers the convenience of creating deliciously creamy cappuccinos, latte macchiato, crema coffee or espresso at the touch of one button, without moving the cup. It's the first model in the Jura Micro collection to feature Jura's unsurpassed fine foam technology, for luxurious preparation of milk foam with a fine, feather-like consistency. It features a newly developed micro brewing unit and a height adjustable dual spout that accommodates cups from 2" to almost 5½" tall. The Capresso Coffee à la Carte Cup-toCarafe Coffee & Tea Maker combines two of the most popular trends in coffee makers—single serve and carafe-style— and it even includes a separate tea filter to rapid brew tea as well. The innovative brewing system automatically adjusts to the amount of ground coffee in the filter, fully saturating it for the proper amount of time. Coffee strength can be adjusted by the amount of ground coffee placed in the filter, up to 12 tablespoons. When brewing single cups, 3 coffee concentration can actually be doubled for the strongest flavor possible. Operation is easy and intuitive, with completely customizable brewing and sizing options. Four preset illuminated brewing buttons for Small Cup, Large Cup, Carafe or Tea. The Jura ENA Micro 9 One Touch and the Capresso Coffee à la Carte Cup-to-Carafe Coffee & Tea Maker have won additional awards for design excellence. The ENA Micro 9 One Touch won the "Best of the Best–Silver" and "Best in Category– Countertop Cooking & Beverage Appliance" in the prestigious 2013 Housewares Design Awards, and the Capresso Coffee à la Carte was a finalist in the International Housewares Association Innovation Awards in the Kitchen Electrics category. The Jura ENA Micro 9 One Touch has an actual retail price of $1,399, and the Capresso Coffee à la Carte Cup-to-Carafe Coffee & Tea Maker has an actual retail price of $179.99. Both are available for immediate shipment. The ICON Honors are sponsored by the AmericasMart Atlanta, the Gift & Home Trade Association and Progressive Business Media.
