3. WELCOME TO THE IMPRESSA S7, S8, S9
This fully automatic espresso coffee center is completely programmable and extremely user friendly. With two independent
Thermoblock heating systems it can switch from brewing coffee
to frothing milk without any up- or down-time. It can prepare 1
or 2 cups of excellent, professional quality espresso or coffee at
a time with just a push of a button. The two-step pressure brewing system - well known in commercial applications - was adapted 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 perfectly pressure brewed coffee. The built-in commercial conical
burr grinder grinds beans to the correct fineness. A separate
filler funnel lets you use pre-ground coffee. The second
Thermoblock generates unlimited steam instantly. With the Dual
Frother Plus you can steam and froth (for cappuccino) or just
steam milk (for lattes). The unique frothXpress Plus system (standard on the S9, optional on S7 and S8) siphons, heats, steams
and froths milk automatically. You can also program a specific
amount of frothed/steamed milk and the machine will always
deliver the correct volume. A separate hot water spout lets you
prepare a cup of tea or any other hot beverage in seconds. You
can program and fine tune your machine for different cup sizes,
coffee strengths, temperature, fineness of grind, automatic turnon and turn-off times, language and more. You can select from
different maintenance set-ups. The machine will automatically
remind you when to refill water, clean, change filter or decalcify.
A special section lets you check how many coffees you prepared
with the different coffee buttons. Finally, for peace of mind, there
is a complete set of "factory default setting" (See chapters 6 and
15.14).
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
coffee center will always produce espresso and coffee with a
thick, foamy layer called "crema." The crema traps the fine aromatics 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
9.
Page 10
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!
4.1 PRESSURE BREWING
You can make any quantity of coffee from
1
⁄2 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.
4.2 DIFFERENT COFFEE DRINKS
Here are some guidelines for the most popular coffee drinks:
• Ristretto:
1
⁄2 to I oz. of coffee.
• 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
1
⁄2 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.
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.
• 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.
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 container (no chocolate, rice, nuts, spices, etc.
• Never fill anything but fresh, cold clean water into the water
container, except when decalcifying (chapter 17.2).
• 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.
10.
Page 11
PLEASE, DO...
• Fill water tank with fresh, cold water only.
• Remove any foreign particles (small stones) from coffee beans.
• Let frozen beans thaw for 3 to 4 hours before pouring them
into the bean container.

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.
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.
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.
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.
• 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).
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.
9. RINSING THE MACHINE
The machine will automatically complete a rinse cycle when it is

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."
HARDNESS LEVEL 1: grains 2-9
HARDNESS LEVEL 2: grains 10-19
HARDNESS LEVEL 3: grains 20-29
HARDNESS LEVEL 4: grains 30+
You can also use the enclosed water hardness indicator strip to
determine the water hardness:
• 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.
You can change the hardness settings as follows:
COFFEE READY
• Open cover for programming buttons (Fig.1,19) and press
and hold the P button (Fig.3A,P) until you hear a beep.
PRESS KEY / POWDER QUANTITY
• Press the + button several times until the display shows:

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.
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:
• 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.

• Turn the selector switch back to the coffee symbol (Fig. 3,L)
COFFEE READY.
To change the programmed amount of hot
water see chapter 15.5.
14. FROTHING AND STEAMING MILK
The Impressa S9, S8 and S7 can be operated with two different
frothing systems:
a) The Dual Frother-PLUS which is mounted on all machines.
b) The frothXpress-PLUS system which is included with the S9.
For the S7 and S8 order this system with the enclosed order
form or through our website: www.capresso.com.
Recommendation:
• If you froth for only one or two cups at a time and want 100%
control over the frothing/steaming process, the Dual FrotherPLUS might be the preferred equipment. Use with the
PERMANENT STEAM button (Fig. 3,M).
• 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.
15.
Page 16
14a. USING THE DUAL FROTHER PLUS
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.
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 connection. 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.
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.
16.
Page 17
• Assemble the milk container as shown in Fig. 15.
• 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 connected 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.
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.
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.
If you always use the same amount of frothed/steamed milk, you
can use the STEAM PORTION button (Fig. 3,K). Steam will be
dispensed for the programmed time and then it will stop automatically. During this time the display shows STEAM PORTION.
The factory setting is for 14 seconds of steaming. You can program the steam portion button to froth from 3 to 250 seconds
(see chapter 15.4).
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.
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".
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.
• Insert the black connecting piece into the frothXpress system.
Insert the other side of the flexible hose into a milk carton.
17.
Page 18
• 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.
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).
• Replace the frothXpress-PLUS system.
For a more thorough cleaning you can take the pieces apart.
When attaching the chrome sleeve to the black nipple, angle it
as shown above. Use a twisting back and forth motion and
gently push the two pieces together.
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.

Height adjustable coffee-spout
Adjust the height of the coffee-spout to the size of your cups.
26.
Page 27
Grinding
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.

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.
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 connecting valve is free of any particles (like a coffee bean etc).
Reason: The ground coffee funnel is clogged; the internal brewing 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.
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 compartment. 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.
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:
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.

D. GRINDER MAKES AN EXTREMELY LOUD NOISE;
NO BEANS ARE GROUND
Reason:
A stone or something else is blocking the burr grinder.
Solution: See chapter 16.5 and 16.6.
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 coffee 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.
