IMPORTANT / BATTERY BACK-UP

The Impressa S9 One Touch has an internal battery back-up for
the clock functions. After plugging the S9 OT in for the first time,
turn the Main Power Switch in the back of the machine on (Fig. 1b;
the red indicator light in the ON/OFF button (Fig. 2,B) will illumi­nate). Leave the main power switch on for the first 24 hours to
insure that the internal battery back-up is fully charged.

1. PRODUCT WARRANTY REGISTRATION

Remove the Product Registration from the Welcome Pack, fill it
out and mail or fax it to us within two weeks or register your
product online through our website: www.capresso.com.
Important: This registration is part of your warranty (chapter 21).

you purchased the machine, it is not necessary to register again.

2. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE / DVD

Thank you for choosing this Jura-Capresso product.
Important: Do not try to set-up the Impressa S9 One Touch
without following the set-up steps in chapter 6 - 8. Or use the
Quick Reference Guide.

• Take time to study this instruction manual. It covers many

features of the S9 OT and provides helpful hints and
will enhance your enjoyment with coffee beverages.

• We highly recommend viewing the enclosed DVD.

3. WELCOME TO THE IMPRESSA S9 One Touch

This fully automatic coffee/espresso/cappuccino center is
completely programmable and extremely user friendly. The S9
OT prepares a cup of cappuccino or latte at a push of a button

without moving your cup, brews one or two cups of crema
coffee or espressos at a time, produces unlimited amounts of
hot frothed and hot steamed milk and delivers up to 15 oz. hot
water – all with a push of a button.
With its two independent stainless steel Thermoblock heating
systems it switches from brewing coffee to frothing milk without
any up- or down-time. 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 two step brewing system
ensures optimal coffee extraction and will finish every cup with a
rich layer of "crema" - proof for perfectly pressure brewed cof­fee. The adjustable, commercial conical burr grinder grinds
beans to the desired fineness (6 settings). Use pre-ground coffee
with the separate filler funnel. The second Thermoblock gener­ates unlimited steam instantly. Program a specific amount of
frothed/steamed milk and the S9 OT will always deliver your pre­ferred cup size. A separate hot water spout prepares a cup of tea
or any other hot beverage in seconds. With four pre-set coffee
buttons, four pre-set milk beverage buttons, a special A La Carte
button and the easy-to-use Rotary Dial you can prepare thousands
of different coffee beverages with the push of a button. Override
or re-program your favorite coffee drinks. Select from different
maintenance set-ups. The S9 OT automatically reminds you
when to refill water, clean, change filter or decalcify. The
"Information" section lets you know how many coffees you pre­pared with the different coffee buttons. The beautiful housing,
cup illumination and informative LED display make the S9 OT
the most versatile Super Automatic Coffee Center available today.
Enjoy your Impressa S9 One Touch!

11.

3a. BEAN-TO-CUP / “CREMA COFFEE" /

HIGH PRESSURE BREWING

According to the majority of coffee experts, grinding the beans
just before brewing, tamping and brewing under high pressure is
the ideal extracting process for maximum flavor and aroma. Your
S9 OT 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 method.You will always make the absolute
freshest and most aromatic cup of coffee. This is the reason why
many European restaurants and hotels serve only fresh pres­sured brewed coffee. Experiment with your S9 OT and prepare
the best and most enjoyable cup of coffee!

3b. DIFFERENT COFFEE DRINKS

Here are some guidelines for the most popular coffee drinks:

• Ristretto: 1/2 to 1 oz. of coffee. Sweeten to taste.

• Espresso: 1 to 2 oz. coffee. Sweeten to taste.

• Double Shot: 3 to 4 oz. of coffee. Sweeten to taste.

• Crema Coffee: 5 to 8 oz. of coffee.

• Cappuccino: 3 to 4 oz. of hot frothed milk plus espresso.

• Latte: 3 to 5 oz. steamed milk with little or no froth plus espresso.

• Latte Macchiato: 5 to 6 oz. of frothed/steamed milk produced

with pause*, plus one or two shots of espresso. *The pause
separates the milk froth and the milk and allows the espresso
to settle “in between” (chapter 10d).

• Café Mocha: Use chocolate milk then proceed as in making

cappuccino or latte.

Experiment with the size of your milk based drinks. For stronger
coffee taste add more coffee, for more milk taste add more
frothed/steamed milk.

3c. 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.
The shorter the brewing time the less caffeine in your cup.
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 surface. European espresso roasts are medium brown
with no or very little oils on the surface.

All Display Messages Are Shown in

4. PLEASE, DON’T... (or you void your warranty protection):

• Never pull out the drawer during the brewing process. Only
pull the drawer when the display instructs you or when the
display shows COFFEE READY.

• Never fill instant coffee into the bean container or ground coffee
funnel; it will damage the brewing chamber.

• Never fill sugar coated coffee beans into the bean container.

• Never fill frozen beans into the bean container. Do not keep
beans in the freezer. Store them in a dark, airtight container.

• Never fill anything other than coffee beans into the bean
container (no chocolate, rice, nuts, spices, etc.).

RED

12.

• Never fill anything but fresh, cold clean water into the water
container, except when decalcifying (chapter 17.1).

• Never use mineral or carbonated water. You can use tap
water, bottled 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.

• Do not place the machine on a surface which is sensitive to

hot or cold water and steam. Never place the machine on an
uneven surface.

PLEASE, DO...

• Fill water tank daily with fresh, cold water.

• Before filling the bean container, 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.

Important: If you pull out the drawer at any time you must empty
the used coffee container and the drawer. If you do not empty the
container, used coffee will overflow inside the machine and can
cause serious damage to the internal mechanism.

• DO NOT install the Clearyl water filter now (chapter 13a).

• Make sure the machine sits on an even, flat surface and the
drawer and used coffee container are inserted (Fig. 1).

• Plug-in machine.

6a. FILLING THE WATER TANK

Please note: Only use fresh, cold water. Never fill water tank
with carbonated water, milk or any other liquid.

• Remove the water tank, rinse and fill with fresh, cold water.

• Replace water tank and make sure that it engages securely.

6b. FILLING THE BEAN CONTAINER

Please note: To insure that the conical burr grinder will work for
a long time, do not use it with any kind of coated or flavored
beans (all coating and flavors contain sugar or sugar substances).
Such coating can damage the burrs. Using such beans voids the
warranty. Have your coffee store grind the sugar coated beans
and use as described in chapter 9e.
Flavored Coffee: If you like flavored coffees we recommend
adding flavors to your coffee after brewing. This way you can
use your regular coffee beans in the bean container. Adding the
flavors after brewing lets you control the flavor intensity much
better than with pre-flavored coffee. Your local coffee store
typically carries a variety of liquid flavors.

• Open the Cover Lid (Fig. 5).

• Remove the Aroma Protection Lid (Fig. 6).

• Make sure the bean container is empty and clean. Fill beans
into the bean container (Fig. 7).

Frozen Beans: Thaw 3 to 4 hours before adding to bean
container. This prevents moisture from seeping into the grinder.

14.

Oily Beans: Beans with an oily surface tend to stick together.
This may prevent a continuous flow of beans from the bean
container into the burrs. As a result the grinder does not grind
enough coffee and you might get weak or no coffee at all.
Stir the beans in the bean container just before grinding.
Alternatively, you can also pour the beans into an open bowl and
let them sit for about 5 hours. The oils will evaporate (this will
not change the taste of your coffee). Then fill the beans into the
bean grinder. Now beans will feed into the burrs more easily.

6c. TURNING THE MACHINE ON FOR THE FIRST TIME

• Make sure bean container and water tank are filled.

• Press the Main Power Switch in the back of the machine (Fig. 1b)
The On/Off button illuminates (Fig. 2.B).

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.

7. ADJUSTING THE GRINDER
IMPORTANT:

the grinder is actually grinding.
Adjust the grinder to the roast of your coffee.

• Light roast: use a finer adjustment (smaller dots).

• Dark roast: use a coarser adjustment (larger dots).

• Open the cover of the bean container (Fig. 5).

• To adjust fineness, turn the grinding wheel during grinding to
the desired position (Fig. 9).

ATTENTION: Oily beans tend to stick together. Stir beans just
before grinding to ensure a proper flow of beans into the burrs.
Please note: If coffee does not flow through the Dual Coffee
Spouts in a constant stream, turn the wheel to a coarser setting.

8. DAILY PREPARATION

Fill the water container every morning with fresh, cold water. This
will enhance the taste of your coffee.

• Make sure the Main Power Switch is on (Fig. 1b). In this case

the On/Off button is illuminated.

9b. BREWING COFFEE AND ESPRESSO

The machine has four pre-set coffee buttons, 1 ESPRESSO,

2 ESPRESSI, 1 COFFEE, 2 COFFEES (Fig. 2).

All buttons are pre-set for coffee strength, coffee volume and
temperature (chapter 5).

• Place one or two cups underneath the Dual Coffee Spouts
and push the desired button. The machine will grind, tamp

9c. OVERRIDING STRENGTH AND CUP SIZE DURING
BREWING

During brewing you can override the strength of the two one­cup buttons (Fig. 2, C, D) and the cup size of all four coffee
buttons. When using the two-cup buttons the S9 OT automati­cally selects the maximum strength. Overriding will not change
the factory setting (chapter 5).

Example:

• Open the cover for the Rotary Dial (Fig. 1.19).

• Push the 1-Cup Coffee Button (Fig. 2D).

• During grinding turn the Rotary Dial to change the strength to
e.g. XSTRONG (5 bean graphic). The display shows the
selected strength.

• When the coffee starts brewing, turn Rotary Dial until the display
shows, e.g.

If you use the same coffee button again and do not use the
Rotary Dial, the S9 OT will brew a cup according to the
programmed settings for this button.
Please note: When using one of the 2-Cup buttons you can
only change the cup size. The display shows the amount per
cup, e.g. 6.0 OZ; the S9 OT will brew a total of 12 ounces.

10. AUTO CAPPUCCINO SYSTEM

The S9 OT features the Auto Cappuccino System with two spouts
located behind each other (Fig. 15) The front spout produces
steam (steam nozzle). The rear spout produces high pressure
brewed coffee. Attached to the steam nozzle is the removable
frothXpress system. It siphons, steams and froths milk.
The S9 OT Cappuccino System prepares a variety of milk based
drinks without ever moving the cup: Cappuccino, Latte, Latte
Macchiato, Café Mocha, Hot Milk, Hot Chocolate.

10a. PREPARING THE THERMAL MILK CONTAINER

The S9 OT comes with a 20 oz. double walled vacuum stainless
steel container. This custom-made milk container can keep cold
milk cold for up to eight hours. There is no need to worry about
the milk getting warm during the day.
The milk container comes complete with: • lid and attached
stainless steel hose • two short flexible hoses • one long flexible
hose • spare black and transparent fittings (Fig. 14a, 14b).
The two short hoses have a connecting piece on each end.

• Unscrew the milk container lid. A stainless steel hose is
attached to the inside of the container. A small transparent
fitting holds the hose in place (a spare fitting is included).

. The machine will automatically stop

• Rinse the milk container with fresh water before first use and
fill with fresh cold milk. Close the lid.

• Insert one end of the short flexible hose into the lid opening.

• Remove the red cap from the side of the frothXpress and
insert the other end of the short flexible hose (Fig. 15).

You are ready to steam/froth milk.
Storing the milk container: always remove the outside flexible
hose and open the lid before storing the milk container in the
refrigerator.
Important: The milk container is not dish washer safe. Do not
immerse the milk container in any liquid.

Using the long flexible hose: To siphon milk directly from a milk
carton use the long flexible hose. Insert one of the black con­necting pieces in the straight-cut end of the hose and insert into
the frothXpress. Insert the other end with the V-cut into the milk
container (Fig. 17).

10b. THE FROTHXPRESS SYSTEM

This system produces unlimited amounts of hot steamed or
frothed milk right into your cup.
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
(12 to 2 o’clock). This section is used for Cappuccino and Latte
Macchiato. In the 12 o’clock position the frothXpress creates the
most milk froth. Turning the dial towards the 2 o’clock position
increases the milk temperature (Fig. 16).
Steaming Position: The dial points to the lower part of the face

18.

(6 to 4 o’clock). Milk will be steamed, not frothed. Turning the
dial towards the 4 o’clock position increases milk temperature.
Steam Only Position: When the dial points to the steam symbol
(3 o'clock), the siphoning is blocked. Only steam will pass
through the frotherXpress.

12. WATER CARE

The S9 OT works with: • tap water • bottled water • distilled
water. We recommend using tap water or bottled water. Distilled
water has no minerals and does not improve the taste of coffee.
Water that is heated inside the machine leads to calcium deposits.
Tap water has a varying degree of water hardness (chapter 12a).
Most bottled water has a low level of water hardness.
IMPORTANT: do not use carbonated water or any other liquid in
the water tank.
You have the following options to take care of the water.

• Decalcifying System (chapter 17.1).

• Clearyl Water Filter Cartridge (chapter 13a).
The machine is factory pre-set to automatically remind
you to decalcify.

12a. WATER HARDNESS MONITOR

Your S9 OT is set to a water hardness of 10ºdH and will auto­matically indicate when it is time to perform a decalcifying cycle.
You can change the water hardness setting from 1º to 30ºdH. If
you are not sure about the hardness of your water, ask your local
water company for the "Water Hardness in Grains." The machine
displays the water hardness in the German hardness scale which
is a bit different from the American "Grain" scale (see chart
below). You can also use the water hardness indicator strip
("Aquadur" in Welcome Pack) to determine the water hardness:

• Insert the strip for one second into the water you want to
use. Shake off any access water and wait for one minute.

21.

One or more sections of the indicator strip will turn reddish.

• Change the water hardness setting according to the table
below.

*Not Active: You can only use this setting for distilled water.
Level 5 and Level 6: If the tap water falls into these two cate­gories, decalcifying will be frequent. In this case bottled water is
recommended. Most bottled water has a low calcium level.
Please note: If your water has a high calcium content (level 5 or 6)
and you use the Clearyl Filter Cartridge we recommend to decalcify
the machine once or twice a year (chapter 17 and 17.1).

Please note: If you use Spring or Bottled Water with low calcium
levels you can set the hardness to 3ºdH, "extremely soft water".

12b. CHANGING THE WATER HARDNESS MONITOR

13. CLEARYL WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE

The machine comes with one Clearyl Water Filter Cartridge. The
Clearyl 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 (Fig. 10)
just before the brewing cycle starts, ensuring freshly filtered
water every time you make coffee.

• Lasts for 75 liters (~2,500 oz.) of water or up to two months.

• Eliminates decalcifying except when using very hard water
(25 grains or higher), see chapter 12. In this case we recom­mended to decalcify the machine once or twice a year.

• To reorder cartridges, see chapter 20.

indicator lights in the cappuccino and latte macchiato buttons
turn off. To use the steam function, push the cappuccino or latte
macchiato button. The lights will start blinking, indicating that
the thermoblock for steam is heating up. This will take between
5 and 30 seconds depending how much that thermoblock was
cooled down. Once the white indicator lights in those buttons
are illuminated, you can push them again to make cappuccino.

ECONOMY MODE 2 (SAVE LEVEL 2)

This setting will save more energy than economy mode 1.
Choose this setting if you prepare only a few coffees or cappuc­cinos in large intervals. It is much faster than turning the
machine on and off every time you want to make coffee.
Five minutes after last use the S9 OT will lower the temperature
and enter standby mode. When making coffee at a later time,
the S9 OT will first heat up for 5 and 30 seconds.

Height adjustable coffee-spout

Adjust the height of the coffee-spout to the size of your cups.

Grinding

Please refer to chapter 7 "Adjusting the Grinder."

Pre-warm cups

Pre-warm cups in advance with hot water (chapter 9a).

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.

ERROR 2 or ERROR 4 call customer

machine for a minute.

• Turn machine on again. If the error message comes up again,
try one more time.

• If the message persists, call customer service.

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
The ground coffee was too fine.
Solution: Use ground coffee which is ground somewhat coarser.
Reason:
Solution: Remove water container and make sure that the con­necting valve is free of any particles (like a coffee bean etc).
Reason:
ing chamber is clogged.
Solution: Place a large cup underneath the coffee spout. Push
the rinse button (Fig. 2E) 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.

No water is transported through the system.

The ground coffee funnel is clogged; the internal brew-

B. THE DISPLAY READS "FILL WATER TANK" BUT THERE IS
ENOUGH WATER IN THE WATER TANK.

Reason: The floatation device (Fig.1,4) is stuck or missing.
Solution: Clean the water container and make sure the floatation
device moves freely.
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

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:

one or more of the components are missing.

D. GRINDER MAKES AN EXTREMELY LOUD NOISE;
NO BEANS ARE GROUND

Reason: A stone or object is blocking the burr grinder.
Solution: See chapter 15.2.

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.
