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
