® Jura-Capresso Impressa F9  Fully Automatic Coffee and Espresso Center

Model #13171

Looks and Luxury:
The IMPRESSA F9 is a state-of-the-art automatic coffee center with unique touch screen technology and easy to view two-line multi color LED display. A gentle touch of the illuminated control panel lets you select the cup of coffee you want. The coffee brewing illumination adds an extra touch of elegance. With its striking, heavy duty 3 mm thick chrome alloy front, a chrome plated die cast coffee spout and a stainless steel grid the F9 looks as good as it performs. It is the ideal coffee center for the hi-tech kitchen or the executive office.

Taste is as individual as you are. With the F9 you can brew five different cup sizes in two aroma and three strength settings. Just touch st@rt. The F9 does the rest: it grinds from 5 to 16 grams of coffee, and brews from 1 to 16 oz. of coffee. Choose between two temperature settings. For Cappuccinos and Lattes the Dual Frother Plus lets you steam and froth your milk exactly to your liking. You can even froth the milk right in your cappuccino cup and then add a shot of espresso without delay.


Features and Benefits
 

• First touch one of the three cup symbols (Big Cup, Coffee, Espresso), then touch one of the three bean symbols for mild, normal or strong. Touch and hold the st@rt symbol until the F9 begins grinding (the st@rt symbol has a one-second touch delay built in so that the machine doesn’t start accidentally if you wipe it clean!)
   
• There are two additional coffee buttons for a single and double size cup.
   
• All cup sizes are programmable from 1 oz. (30 ml) to 8 oz. (240 ml) with the double-cup button producing a maximum of 16 oz. of coffee at a time.
   
• Two step pre-infusion cycle moistens and conditions the ground coffee. Maximum flavor extraction with perfect crema topping.

How Things Work
Programming
The IMPRESSA F9 makes it easy to customize coffee settings to your liking. When the machine is on and the display reads SELECT PRODUCT, push and hold the P-button until the machine beeps and two red arrows appear in the display. This indicates that you are in programming mode. Touching one of the red arrows repeatedly brings you to the program you want to change or just to look up. Then touch start and change that particular setting using the red arrows. Touch start again to confirm your new setting. Push the P button to get out of programming mode and back to SELECT PRODUCT. Click the video clip Programming to watch an example.
 

Testimonials
This item is new for the United States. Therefore we do not have any testimonials from consumers at this time. However one of the most highly respected coffee experts "The Coffee Geek" wrote about it in his "first look" column in early May 2003. Here are some quotes from his report (for the full report go to www.coffeegeek.com):
"The Jura Capresso (Impressa F9) is an awesome looking espresso machine. It would fit into any modern office or kitchen and surprisingly, it does pretty high volume shots."
"The F9’s shot was head and shoulders above the commercial café stuff I sampled that morning."
"The shots are rich, creamy,… the crema was darker than I got with some of the other super autos in our stable."
"The wand is ingenious… does surprisingly good microfoam."
