1. PRODUCT REGISTRATION
optimal coffee extraction and will finish every cup with a rich
layer of "crema" – proof for perfectly pressure brewed coffee. By
touching one of three cup symbols and one of three bean sym-
bols you choose the cup size and the coffee strength you want.
Touch the ST@RT button and the F9 will grind and brew your
personal cup of coffee. The integrated solid steel conical burr
grinder grinds beans to the preferred fineness. A separate funnel
lets you use pre-ground coffee. All coffee, water and steam
functions are programmable to your own personal taste. Make
any size cup of coffee between 1 and 16 oz. The Dual Frother
Plus* lets you froth and steam milk for delicious cappuccinos
and lattes. The frother can be programmed to produce steam up
to 60 seconds. Need more steam? Just push the steam button
again for another 60 seconds of steam. The stainless steel lined
ThermoBlock prevents water from coming in contact with alu-
minum and allows you to brew coffee immediately after frothing
(no purging). The hot water function lets you prepare tea and
other beverages in seconds. All important functions such as
water level, bean container, used coffee container and water filter
are monitored automatically. You can even program the machine
to turn itself on and off. You can change the language and can
check how many cups of coffee you made. Please watch the
enclosed video and study this instruction manual before you use
the machine on a daily basis. You will get so much more out of

3. WELCOME TO THE IMPRESSA F9
This fully automatic coffee center is completely programmable
and extremely user friendly. The Impressa F9 is made of the
finest materials and features a unique sensor touch panel. The
chrome plated metal front with its heavy duty die-cast coffee
spout, the stainless steel grid and the elegant cup illumination
make it the center piece of any contemporary kitchen. The
Impressa F9 can prepare one or two cups of crema coffee at a
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 Pre-Brew Aroma-System (chapter 10) ensures
your IMPRESSA F9. Enjoy!
* If you prepare many cappuccinos or lattes at a time we recommend
the fast and precise frothXpress PLUS system (separately available).
This system replaces the Dual Frother Plus and lets you fill cup after
cup with the desired amount of hot milk and milk froth automatically.
about the frothXpress Plus system (Super Automatics, Impressa S9).

3a. A WORD ABOUT "CREMA COFFEE"
• Latte: Espresso plus 3 to 5 oz. of steamed milk with little or
no froth.
• Café Mocha: Make Espresso then 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.
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 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 the reason why many
European restaurants and hotels serve fresh pressured brewed
coffee only. Experiment with your new machine and prepare
yourself the best and most enjoyable cup of coffee!
3d. 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.
3b. PRESSURE BREWING
You can make any quantity of coffee from 1 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 (see chapter 21).
• 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 chapters 7 & 8 for
special handling.
3c. DIFFERENT COFFEE DRINKS
Here are some guidelines for the most popular coffee drinks:
1
• Ristretto: ⁄2 to 1 oz. of coffee.
• Espresso: 1 to 2 oz. coffee.
• Double Shot: 3 to 4 oz. of coffee.
Sweeten to taste for the above drinks.
• Crema Coffee: 5 to 71⁄2 oz. of coffee
• Cappuccino: Espresso plus 3 to 4 oz. of hot frothed milk.
4. 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

will pump hot water through the coffee spout and stop auto-
matically: SELECT PRODUCT. The display will illuminate the
cup and strength selection as shown below:
The container holds approx. 220 grams (8 oz.). Close the lid.
Frozen Beans: Let them thaw for 3 to 4 hours before adding
into the bean container. This will prevent moisture from seeping
into the grinder.
Sugar Coated Beans: DO NOT fill sugar coated beans into the
grinding chamber. The sugars will stick to the burrs and clog the
flow of ground coffee. Have your local coffee emporium grind
the sugar coated beans for you and use as described in chapter 11.
Using 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 in 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.
SELECT PRODUCT
In this setting the machine is ready to brew coffee.
• Open the bean container lid and fill with some beans (Fig. 6).
• Place an empty cup (at least 8 oz.) under the coffee spouts.
• Touch and hold your finger on the ST@RT symbol until the
machine starts grinding. Initially, the grinding chamber may not
fill properly with ground coffee. The machine will start brewing,
then interrupt and the display will show FILL BEANS.
• Touch and hold ST@RT again. This time the machine will grind
and brew and stop by itself. Discard this first cup of coffee.
Your next cup will be perfect (chapter 10a explains the use of
the sensor touch symbols).
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 lid of the bean container (Fig. 1.9).
• To adjust grinding turn the selector switch to the desired
position (Fig. 7).
The smaller the dots, the finer the grind. The bigger the dots, the
coarser the grind.
Please note: If coffee only comes out of one spout, move the
spout up and down a few times to clear the internal flow.
You are now ready to make coffee.
12.
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.
Option One: Touch Screen Controls (Fig. 5)
On the touch screen display you can choose from three cup
sizes and three strength settings, for total of 9 settings:
BIG CUP, COFFEE, ESPRESSO each in MILD, NORMAL or
STRONG.
• Touch the symbols and watch how the display changes.
• Once you have selected your preferred combination, just
touch and hold ST@RT until grinding begins.
Please see chapter 5 for the amount of coffee brewed for each
of the symbols. To change these cup sizes see chapter 18c.
Please note: You need to touch ST@RT for one second to
activate the grinding/brewing process. This delayed action
prevents the machine from making coffee if somebody
accidentally touches the ST@RT symbol.
9. DAILY PREPARATION
We recommend filling the water container every morning with
fresh, cold water. This will enhance the taste of your coffee.
• Push and hold the On/Off button until the display turns on.
After WWW.IMPRESSA-F-LINE.COM the display shows
HELLO YOUR MACHINE IS HEATING. After approx. two
minutes the display shows PRESS MAINT. and the red light in
the Rinse Button (Fig. 3b) will illuminate.
• Press the Rinse Button. Hot water will warm up all internal
parts and pump through the coffee spouts. The water will be
caught in the drawer underneath. The rinse cycle stops by
itself and the display reads: SELECT PRODUCT. The cup and
bean symbols illuminate. You are now ready to make coffee.
Option Two: 1-Cup and 2-Cup Buttons
In addition to the nine selections on the touch screen you can
also use the 1-Cup and 2-Cup button (Fig. 3c, 3d) to grind and
brew coffee.
Please see chapter 5 for the amount of coffee brewed for these
buttons. To change these cup sizes see chapter 18d.
Please note: The 2-Cup button will automatically brew twice as
much coffee (max. 16oz.) as the 1-Cup button.
10. GRINDING AND BREWING
The F9 uses a 2-step brewing process (Pre-Brew Aroma System).
This process first moistens the ground coffee (pre-brew phase),
stops for a few seconds and then starts the brewing process.
Please note: After the pre-brew phase you can stop the brewing
process at any time by simply pushing the 1-Cup button. This
will not affect your cup settings.
11. USING PRE-GROUND COFFEE
You can also use pre-ground coffee, bypassing the grinder. This
comes in handy if someone requests decaf, sugar coated or
flavored coffee.
• Push the Pre-Ground Coffee Button (Fig. 3f). The display shows:
FILL POWDER SELECT PRODUCT.
10a. SELECTING CUP SIZE AND STRENGTH
With the machine in the SELECT PRODUCT mode, you can
choose five cup settings and three different strength settings.
• Adjust the height of the coffee spout to your cup size (Fig. 14)
and place one or two cups underneath the coffee spouts.
• Open the lid for the ground coffee funnel (Fig. 1.8) and fill the
funnel with one or two scoops of ground coffee.
13.
Important: Do NOT fill this funnel with instant coffee and do not
use more than two level scoops of coffee.
• Touch one of the three cup symbols to select cup size and
then touch ST@RT. While brewing, the display shows
(for example) BIG CUP POWDER.
Steaming Position:
The metal cylinder is in the UP position (Fig. 18). In the steaming
position hot steam is injected into the milk (or any other liquid)
without creating a frothy layer on top.
Frothing Position:

Please note: If you push the scoop button accidentally, touch
ST@RT to clear. The F9 starts the brewing process, and stops
after a few seconds. The display will return to SELECT PRODUCT.
Please note: After use of sugar coated or flavored coffee
through the pre-ground coffee funnel you may experience some
flavor transfer when going back to your regular coffee. Push the

warm milk and a firm layer of tiny froth bubbles.
14. HEATING AND FROTHING MILK
• Fill a pitcher (10 to 12 oz. capacity) or a large cup with at
least 4 to 5 oz. of cold milk.
• Push the Steam Button (Fig. 4b). The Steam Button's red light
will start blinking and the display reads YOUR MACHINE IS
HEATING. After a few seconds the red light stays illuminated
and the display reads SELECT PRODUCT.
• Immerse the tip of the frother into the milk and push the
Steam Button again (Fig. 4b). Hot steam will be injected into
the milk. During this time the display shows STEAM PORTION.
• To stop the steam function, push the Steam Button again.
Please note: Steam output will automatically stop after 60 sec-
onds. If you need more steam just push the Steam Button again
and you will have another 60 seconds of steam. You can also
change the steam output to a shorter interval (chapter 18e).
12. USING HOT WATER
With the Hot Water Button (Fig. 4a) you can make a cup of tea, a
quick soup or add hot water to your coffee, making it less strong.
Caution: Always make sure that you have a container under-
neath the frother (Fig. 15) when using the hot water function,
otherwise hot water might splatter, causing severe injuries.
• Push the Hot Water Button WATER PORTION. Hot water will
flow immediately out of the frother.
• To stop the water flow, push the Hot Water Button again.
Please note: The hot water portion is set to approx. 5 oz.
It can be programmed from 1 to 16 oz. (chapter 18f).
Tips for frothing (Cappuccino):
Start in the steaming position (cylinder "up") for 10 to 20 sec-
onds. This way your milk will be warmed up first. Then push the
cylinder "down". Milk froth will build up. This way the froth on
top of your milk is also warm. If the frothed milk is not warm
enough, continue in the steaming position.
13. FROTHING, STEAMING AND HEATING
The steam function can be used to heat up any liquid and to
steam and froth milk.
14.

setting is automatically turned off.
Important: Never install the cartridge before or during the first
time preparation of the machine.
16b. REPLACING THE CLARIS CARTRIDGE
• Make sure the water tank is empty.
• Remove cartridge from its bag.
The filter is monitored automatically. After approx. 50 liters of
water (55 quarts), the filter loses its effect. The display will show:
REPLACE FILTER SELECT PRODUCT. You can still make
coffee, but we recommend replacing the filter within one week!
Attention: The filter should be changed every 2 months if you
use less than 50 liters of water. In this case, no message will
appear in the display.

17. ADJUSTING THE WATER HARDNESS
Important: If the Claris Cartridge is activated (see chapter 16a)
this chapter does not apply.
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 hard-
er 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+
• Touch ST@RT to confirm. The number stops blinking.
• Push the P button to return to SELECT PRODUCT
Important: If you choose the selection "–" the water hardness
monitor is turned off. In this case the machine will NOT remind
you when it is time to decalcify. Turning off the monitor requires
you to use distilled water only or the Claris Filter (chapter 16a).
If you use regular or bottled water the machine will build up cal-
cium. If calcium build-up inside the machine is not removed, it
can lead to a complete machine break down.

coffee, push the Steam Button (Fig. 4b) and wait until the light
stops blinking. Move the cylinder of the frother up for steaming
(Fig. 18). Now immerse the tip of the frother into your cup. Push
the Steam Button again and inject steam for about 10 to 20 sec-
onds. Your coffee will be extremely hot.

• Any machine NOT distributed by JURA-CAPRESSO within the
United States.
• Any machine not purchased from an Authorized Dealer.
• Damage caused by accident, abuse, negligence, misuse,
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

some of the sticky oils evaporate (this will not harm the aroma of
the coffee).
• Damage caused by neglecting and omitting maintenance,
cleaning and decalcifying cycles.
Reason: You used ground coffee in the ground coffee funnel.
The ground coffee was too fine.
• Damage caused by use of instant coffee or any other ingredients
not allowed in this product.
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. 3b) 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.
D. GRINDER MAKES AN EXTREMELY LOUD NOISE;
NO BEANS ARE GROUND
Reason: The low water floatation device (Fig.8.4) 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 locate both pieces and put it back
together. If you cannot find them, call 1-800-220-5701. We will
send the pieces to you FREE OF CHARGE.
Reason: A stone is blocking the burr grinder.
Solution: Call customer service: 1-800-220-5701.
E. THE DRAWER (Fig. 21) DOESN’T PULL OUT
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, try the above procedure again. If
you are still unable to remove the drawer call customer service:
1-800-220-5701.
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 15.
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.
