This fully automatic espresso coffee center is completely pro-  
grammable and extremely user friendly. With two independent  
Thermoblock heating systems it can switch from brewing coffee

4. A WORD ABOUT "CREMA COFFEE"  
According to the majority of coffee experts, grinding, tamping  
and brewing under high pressure is the ideal extracting process  
for maximum flavor and aroma. Your Jura-Capresso automatic  
ing system - well known in commercial applications - was adapt- coffee center will always produce espresso and coffee with a  
ed and refined by Jura coffee specialists and is the trademark of  
each Jura-Capresso coffee center. This Intelligent Pre Brew  
Aroma System (I.P.B.A.S) ensures optimal coffee extraction and  
will finish every cup with a rich layer of "crema" - proof for per-  
fectly pressure brewed coffee. The built-in commercial conical  
thick, foamy layer called "crema." The crema traps the fine aro-  
matics and the light gaseous flavors that register on the palate.  
The high pressure and the short brewing time prevent the  
extraction of bitter oils and release less caffeine than any other  
brewing methods. You will always make the absolute freshest

and most aromatic cup of coffee. This is also the reason why  
many European restaurants and hotels will serve you freshly  
pressured brewed coffee only. Experiment with your new  
machine and prepare yourself the best and most enjoyable cup  
of coffee!  
4.3 COFFEE FACTS  
Caffeine is tasteless. A "strong" coffee or espresso is mostly  
the result of the amount of coffee in relation to the amount of  
water. The longer a bean is roasted, the less caffeine it has.  
Arabica and Robusta are two genetically different kinds of  
beans. "Arabica" beans have more flavor and a little less caffeine  
than "Robusta" beans which are mostly used in lower priced  
coffees and instant coffees.  
4.1 PRESSURE BREWING  
You can make any quantity of coffee from 12 oz. to 16 oz. Please  
note: in order to create the "crema" on top of your coffee, the  
machine brews coffee at slightly lower temperatures than a drip  
coffee maker. Since your coffee is delivered directly into your  
cup we recommend to enjoy it immediately.  
• Espresso is not a bean, it's the way the coffee is roasted and  
prepared. Typical US espresso roasts result in darker beans with  
an oily outside. European espresso roasts are medium brown  
with no or very little oils showing on the outside. Please note: If  
you use dark, oily beans, see chapter 8 for special handling.  
4.2 DIFFERENT COFFEE DRINKS  
Here are some guidelines for the most popular coffee drinks:  
1
Ristretto: 2 to I oz. of coffee.  
5. PLEASE, DON’T... (or you void your warranty protection):  
• Never fill instant coffee into the grinder or ground coffee funnel  
it can damage the functioning of the brewing chamber.  
• Never fill sugar coated coffee beans into the bean container.  
• Never fill frozen beans into the bean container. If you store  
beans in the freezer, let them thaw for 3 to 4 hours before  
filling them into the bean container.  
• Never fill anything other than coffee beans into the bean con-  
tainer (no chocolate, rice, nuts, spices, etc.  
• Never fill anything but fresh, cold clean water into the water  
container, except when decalcifying (chapter 17.2).  
Espresso: 1 to 2 oz. coffee.  
Double Shot: 3 to 4 oz. of coffee.  
Definitely add a bit of sugar to the above drinks.  
Crema Coffee: 5 oz. to 7 12 oz. of coffee  
Cappuccino: Espresso plus 3 to 4 oz. of hot frothed milk.  
Latte: Espresso plus 3 to 5 oz. of steamed milk with little or  
no froth.  
Café Mocha: add chocolate syrup to the milk before  
frothing/steaming.  
Experiment with the size of your milk based drinks. For stronger  
coffee taste add more coffee, for more milk taste use more  
frothed milk.  
• Never use mineral or carbonated water. You can use tap  
water, spring water, distilled water and reverse osmosis water.  
• Never repair or open the machine yourself. All repairs should  
be performed only by an authorized service center.

8. ADJUSTING THE GRINDER  
You can adjust the grinder to the roast of your coffee.  
We recommend the following:  
• Light roast: use a finer adjustment.  
Attention: You can only make coffee when the display reads  
COFFEE READY.  
• Dark roast: use a coarser adjustment.  
• Open the cover of the bean container (Fig.5).  
To adjust grinding turn the selector switch to the desired  
position (Fig.9).  
CUP ILLUMINATION  
The cup illumination adds a dramatic touch to brewing coffee.  
Providing the machine is plugged in, you can activate the cup  
illumination for 3 minutes by pressing any button.  
You have the following possibilities:  
• The smaller the dots, the finer the grinding.  
• The bigger the dots, the coarser the grinding.  
IMPORTANT: The grinding grade can only be adjusted while  
the grinder is actually grinding.  
ATTENTION: Oily beans tend to stick together. Stir beans just  
before grinding to ensure a proper flow of beans into the burrs.  
7a. ADDING COFFEE BEANS  
• Lift up cover of the bean container (Fig. 5) and remove aroma  
protection lid (Fig. 6).  
• Clean out any dirt or foreign objects from the bean container.  
• Fill the bean container with coffee beans (Fig.7), replace the  
aroma protection lid (Fig.6), and close the cover.  
9. RINSING THE MACHINE  
The machine will automatically complete a rinse cycle when it is  
turned off (or when the machine turns off automatically). When  
the machine is cold and you turn the machine on it will warm up.  
PLEASE WAIT  
7b. FIRST TIME GRINDING/BREWING  
• Move the coffee spout up (Fig.8b).  
• Put a large cup underneath the coffee spout.  
• Make sure there is water in the tank.  
• Push the SPECIAL COFFEE button (Fig.2,C).  
• The machine will start grinding. Then it will pre-brew, pause,  
and continue brewing. It will brew approx. 8 oz. of coffee.  
During the first brewing cycle the coffee will be extremely  
weak since some of the ground coffee stays in the connector  
channel between the grinder and the brewing chamber. Your  
next cup of coffee will be fine.  
RINSE UNIT  
• Place an empty cup under the coffee-spout (Fig. 8b) and  
press the RINSE button.  
You can always rinse at any time. Just press the RINSE button.

be heard.  
10. ADJUSTING FOR WATER HARDNESS  
The water is heated inside the machine. With use, this leads to  
calcium deposits forming inside the machine. The display will  
remind you when it is time to perform a decalcifying cycle. The  
machine is set to level 2 (medium hard water). If you have  
harder water you need to set it to a higher level. If you have  
softer water you can set it to level 1. If you are not sure about  
the hardness of your water, ask your local water company for  
the "Water Hardness in Grains."  
• Press the N button. The display will show COFFEE READY.  
In level – – the water hardness monitor is turned off.  
IMPORTANT: Turning the monitor off requires you to use the  
Claris filter cartridge or distilled water.  
HARDNESS LEVEL 1: grains 2-9  
HARDNESS LEVEL 2: grains 10-19  
HARDNESS LEVEL 3: grains 20-29  
HARDNESS LEVEL 4: grains 30+  
11. CLARIS WATER CARTRIDGE  
The machine comes with one free Claris water cartridge. The  
Claris water cartridge is specially made for use with the  
Impressa machines. The Claris cartridge:  
You can also use the enclosed water hardness indicator strip to  
determine the water hardness:  
• Reduces the water hardness up to 75%.  
• Removes (if present) up to 85% chlorine, up to 90% lead, up  
to 95% copper and up to 67% aluminum.  
• Cleans the water through an upward current principle (See  
Fig. 10) just before the brewing cycle starts, ensuring freshly  
filtered water every time you make coffee.  
• Eliminates decalcifying. When using the Claris water cartridge,  
you never need to decalcify your machine.  
• Insert the stick for one second into the water you want to  
use. Shake off any access water and wait for one minute.  
• If all five fields of the test stick turn reddish, set the hardness  
level to 4. If four fields turn reddish, set the hardness level to  
3. If three or less fields turn reddish, leave the level in  
position 2.

• If you froth for only one or two cups at a time and want 100%  
control over the frothing/steaming process, the Dual Frother-  
PLUS might be the preferred equipment. Use with the  
PERMANENT STEAM button (Fig. 3,M).  
12a. USING GROUND COFFEE  
• Open cover (Fig. 1,19).  
• Press the GROUND COFFEE button (Fig. 3A; N).  
FILL POWDER.  
• Fill 1 or 2 level measuring scoops of ground coffee into the  
opening for ground coffee (Fig. 1,11).  
• If you always want the same amount of milk and milk froth in  
your cup or you make three, four, five or more cappuccinos in  
a row the frothXpress-PLUS is definitely faster and more  
convenient to use. Ideally use the STEAM PORTION button.  
Frothing (Cappuccino): Injecting hot steam into the milk to warm  
the milk and create a firm layer of tiny bubbles.  
Steaming (Latte): Injecting hot steam to warm the milk without a  
frothy layer.  
IMPORTANT: Never use instant coffee.  
• Now push one of the coffee buttons to brew your coffee.  
NOTE: If the GROUND COFFEE button (Fig. 3A,N) is pressed by  
mistake just press one of the cup buttons. The machine will run  
a rinse cycle and return to COFFEE READY.  
13. PROCESSING HOT WATER  
• Place a cup under the height-adjustable coffee spout

14a. USING THE DUAL FROTHER PLUS  
14b. CLEANING THE DUAL FROTHER PLUS  
The tip and sleeve of the frother are high precision parts (Fig. 14).  
Always keep those parts clean and free of any milk residue.  
Make sure that the two side holes, the grove and the hole on the  
bottom of the tip are always free of any milk deposits.  
• After finishing frothing, remove the Dual Frother Plus and  
immerse it in a cup with warm water. This is the easiest way to  
keep the milk from hardening. The frother is attached securely  
to the steam nozzle. Before pulling it down, turn it a few times  
to loosen it. Then turn and pull down at the same time. When  
replacing the frother turn and push it up to make a tight con-  
nection. This will prevent the frother from becoming loose  
when steam is passing through.  
Cleaning the steam nozzle: The Dual-Frother-PLUS is off (Fig. 4).  
• Place a cup underneath the steam nozzle and press the  
PERMANENT steam button. Steam will eject any milk  
droplets. Stop the process after one or two seconds.  
Tip: if the steam nozzle is blocked by hardened milk, use a needle  
and loosen up the milk deposit. Then let some steam pass  
through the steam nozzle.  
Frothing Position: The cylinder of the frother is pushed down.  
Steaming Position: The cylinder is pushed up ( see Fig. 14).  
• Fill at least 4 to 5 oz. of cold milk into a frothing pitcher. The  
pitcher should have at least a 10 to 12 oz. capacity. You can  
also use a larger pitcher (e.g. 20 oz.) and fill it with up to 13 oz.  
of milk. (Normally 3 to 5 oz. of milk is what you need for one  
cappuccino or one latte). Always start with cold milk. Skim  
milk will produce the most froth and will let you taste more of  
the coffee. Milk with 1% and 2% fat will give you a bit less froth.  
Regular milk (3% fat) will produce even less froth.  
The machine is ready to produce steam as long as both green  
lights in the steam buttons are illuminated (Fig. 3,K & M).  
• If they are off, just push either button. Both lights will start  
blinking for about 15 seconds and then will stay illuminated.  
• Immerse the frother into the milk so that the black tip and part  
of the cylinder are below the surface of the milk. The tip of the  
frother should not touch the bottom of the pitcher.  
• Now push the PERMANENT steam button. Hot steam will be  
injected into the milk. The display will read STEAM INTAKE.  
Tips for steaming: Leave the cylinder in the "up" position. Make  
sure that the milk does not start boiling. You can stop the  
steaming process at any time by pushing the PERMANENT  
steam button. To continue steaming, just push the button again.  
Tips for frothing: Start with the frother in the steaming position  
("up") for 10 to 20 seconds, depending how much milk you are  
working with. This way the milk is first heated. Then push down  
the cylinder. The sound will change and milk-froth will build up  
immediately. This way the froth on top of your milk is also warm.  
If the milk is not warm enough, continue in the steaming position.  
14c. USING THE FROTHXPRESS PLUS SYSTEM  
WITH MILK CONTAINER (standard with S9)  
The frothXpress system lets you produce hot steamed or frothed  
milk right into your cup. After playing a bit with this attachment  
you will be able to get exactly the amount of frothed or steamed  
milk you want in your cup (refer to the video).  
• Remove the Dual-Frother-PLUS.  
• Fill the milk container with cold milk.

• Assemble the milk container as shown in Fig. 15.  
dispensed for the programmed time and then it will stop auto-  
matically. During this time the display shows STEAM PORTION.  
The factory setting is for 14 seconds of steaming. You can pro-  
gram the steam portion button to froth from 3 to 250 seconds  
(see chapter 15.4).  
• Attach the frothXpress-PLUS system as shown in Fig. 15a.  
Important: This system siphons milk and mixes it inside the  
frothXpress with hot steam. It is necessary that all parts are con-  
nected tightly, otherwise the siphoning process will not work.  
Frothing Position: The dial points to the upper part of the face  
(frothing range). Start with the dial pointing to the "-" symbol (12  
o'clock). Milk will be siphoned, heated and frothed. For hotter  
milk, move the lever towards the "+" symbol (See Fig. 15).  
Steaming Position: The dial points to the lower part of the face  
(steaming range). Start with the dial pointing to the "-" symbol (6  
o'clock). Milk will be siphoned and heated with no froth. For hotter  
milk move the lever towards the "+" symbol.  
Hotter Milk  
• If you want your frothed milk hotter, move the dial to the  
middle position (3 o'clock).  
• Lift the cup so that the bottom of the frother is slightly  
immersed into the milk. Push the PERMANENT steam button.  
Hot steam will increase the milk temperature. Push the button  
again to stop.  
Steam Only Position: When the dial points to the steam symbol  
(3 o'clock), the siphoning is blocked. Only steam will pass  
through the frother Fig. 16.  
Steaming  
Setting the dial to the lower part of the face, will eliminate any  
froth build up. Milk will be siphoned and warmed. Otherwise it is  
the same procedure as explained above under "Frothing".  
Frothing  
• Place a cup underneath the frothXpress (see Fig. 15a). The  
machine is ready to produce steam as long as both green  
lights in the steam buttons are illuminated. If they are off, just  
push either button. Both lights will start blinking for about 15  
seconds and then will stay illuminated.  
• Make sure that the dial points to the 12 o'clock position.  
• Press the PERMANENT steam button. The display will read  
STEAM INTAKE and frothing will begin immediately.  
• When you have enough frothed milk push the button again.  
Frothing will stop.  
TIP: After filling your cup(s) with the desired amount of hot  
frothed milk you can immediately move it (them) underneath the  
coffee spouts and brew coffee.  
14d. USING THE FROTHXPRESS PLUS SYSTEM  
WITH FLEXIBLE HOSE (Fig. 17)  
The S9 comes equipped with a long flexible hose. This is useful  
if you have your regular milk in the milk container and you want  
to use another milk or chocolate milk.  
If you always use the same amount of frothed/steamed milk, you  
can use the STEAM PORTION button (Fig. 3,K). Steam will be  
• Insert the black connecting piece into the frothXpress system.

• Now froth or steam as described in chapter 14c.  
14e. HOT CHOCOLATE, CAFE MOCHA  
For hot chocolate fill the milk container with the desired amount  
of chocolate syrup, add cold milk and stir well. Then proceed as  
described under "Frothing". Adding a shot or two of espresso  
makes it a Café Mocha.  
14g. CLEANING THE MILK CONTAINER  
• Remove the lid of the milk container. (The milk container is  
dishwasher safe; upper rack.)  
• Clean the lid and the two metal hoses with warm water.  
• Assemble as shown in Fig. 15.  
15. PROGRAMMING  
14f. CLEANING THE FROTHXPRESS PLUS  
Remove the hose which connects the frothXpress Plus and  
the milk container.  
• Store the milk container in the refrigerator.  
• Remove the frothXpress from the steam nozzle.  
• Drop the hose and the frothXpress in a cup with warm water.  
This will prevent the milk from hardening.  
• Place a cup underneath the steam nozzle and push the  
PERMANENT steam button and let steam pass through for a  
second or two (see Fig. 4).  
Before leaving our factory, many of the functions are set to  
enable you to obtain coffee without any additional programming

the first consumer purchase and is limited to the United States  
of America. This warranty covers all defects in materials or  
workmanship (parts and labor) including UPS ground trans-  
portation for both ways, if necessary.  
This warranty does not cover:  
• Any machine not distributed by JURA-CAPRESSO within the  
United States.  
Please refer to chapter 8 "Adjusting the Grinder."  
Pre-warm cups  
You should warm cups in advance with hot water or steam.  
The smaller the quantity of coffee, the more important it is to  
warm your cups.  
Sugar and cream  
Warmth is lost by stirring the contents of the cup. Adding milk  
or cream from the refrigerator considerably lowers the  
temperature of the coffee.  
• Any machine not purchased from an Authorized Dealer.  
• Damage caused by accident, abuse, negligence, misuse,  
improper operation or failure to follow instructions contained  
in this manual.  
• Any service or alteration performed by an unauthorized person,  
company or association.  
• Damage caused by neglecting and omitting cleaning and  
decalcifying cycles.  
• Damage caused by use of instant coffee or any other ingredi-  
ents not allowed in this product.  
This warranty will be void if the Product Registration Card is  
not sent within two weeks after purchase date.

B. THE DISPLAY READS "FILL WATER" BUT THERE IS  
ENOUGH WATER IN THE WATER TANK.  
Reason: The low water floatation device (Fig.1,4) is missing.  
Solution: Within the water tank is a small compartment (like a  
mouse trap). Inside is a small black floatation device. On top is a  
small clear see-through plastic cover. This small plastic cover is  
missing and the floatation device is outside of the small com-  
partment. Check if you can find both pieces inside the water  
tank and put it back together. If you cannot find the pieces call  
1-800-220-5701. We will send the pieces to you FREE OF  
CHARGE.  
21. TROUBLESHOOTING  
A. NO COFFEE COMES OUT OF THE COFFEE SPOUT  
Reason: Beans in bean container are not feeding properly into  
the grinder because they are stuck together.  
C. INSUFFICIENT FROTHED MILK PRODUCTION  
Reason: Milk is initially not cold enough or your milk is not  
suited for thick frothing.  
Solution: Make sure milk is cold. Use a different type of milk.  
Skim milk will produce the thickest and longest lasting froth. Full  
fat milk will produce less thick froth.  
Reason: The components of the frother are not assembled  
properly, or the components are clogged with hardened milk, or  
one or more of the components is missing, or the steam nozzle  
is clogged.  
Solution: Stir beans before grinding and while grinding turn the  
grinding selector to the coarsest setting.  
When using very oily beans pour the beans onto a plate and let  
some of the sticky oils evaporate (this will not harm the aroma of  
the coffee).  
Reason: You used ground coffee in the ground coffee funnel.  
The ground coffee was too fine.  
Solution: Use ground coffee which is ground somewhat coarser.  
Reason: No water is transported through the system.  
Solution: Remove water container and make sure that the con-  
necting valve is free of any particles (like a coffee bean etc).  
Reason: The ground coffee funnel is clogged; the internal brew-  
ing chamber is clogged.  
Solution: Place a large cup underneath the coffee spout. Push  
the rinse button (Fig.2,F) a few times until the blocked coffee is  
removed. (Never fill more than 2 scoops of coffee in the ground  
coffee funnel; the funnel is not a storage area for ground coffee).  
Also, use a ground coffee which is ground somewhat coarser.  
Solution:  
a. Remove frother. Check that steam comes out of the steam  
nozzle. If not, use a needle and clear blockage from inside  
steam nozzle.  
b. Clean all other frother parts and assemble properly.  
See chapter 123.  
c. If any parts are missing call Customer Service:  
1-800-220-5701 or use the enclosed mail order form to order  
the missing part.

E. THE REMOVABLE DRAWER (Fig.1, 18) DOESN’T COME OUT  
Reason: The internal used coffee disposal chute did not retract.  
Solution: Turn off the machine. Wait a minute. Turn machine on  
and wait until it stops making any noise. Now try to pull out the  
drawer. If this does not work, turn the machine off. Now pull the  
drawer out with some force. You will feel some resistance. When  
the drawer is out you will see that the back wall of the used cof-  
fee container (Fig.1,16) is missing.  
Reach into the machine and retrieve the back wall (it is a small  
black flexible piece). Set the used coffee container aside and  
insert the drawer (without the used coffee container) into the  
machine. Turn the machine on. Wait until all noise has stopped.  
The disposable chute should retract. Remove the drawer,  
replace the used coffee container and insert it back into the  
machine. Check if the drawer comes out easily.
