Wondering why your coffee is ending up in the grounds container instead of your cup? In the vast majority of cases, the culprit is a worn brewing unit piston seal. This red food-grade silicone seal (part no. 70196) is the correct replacement part for the Jura A series and ENA Micro brewing unit piston, and will restore a proper brew-cycle seal.
Important — verify your model: before ordering, confirm the exact model and version of your machine on the rating plate (usually on the underside of the machine or behind the water tank). This seal ring is only suitable for the fully automatic Jura coffee machines listed below, so confirm fitment to ensure the part fits correctly.
When does this part need replacing? (Fault symptoms)
This part typically fails when you observe one or more of the following symptoms:
- Coffee drains into the grounds container instead of flowing into the cup
- Coffee flows very slowly, drips, or does not flow at all
- The machine produces unusual hissing sounds due to pressure loss during brewing
- The ejected coffee puck is wet and crumbles apart rather than holding a firm shape
If you recognise even one of these symptoms, the seal is almost always faulty, damaged, or torn. A torn or hardened silicone ring stops sealing the piston, pressure escapes, and water bypasses the ground coffee — resulting in weak coffee and a wet puck.

This part is compatible with the following Jura coffee machines:
Jura Impressa A series
