IMPORTANT / BATTERY BACK-UP  
The Impressa S9 One Touch has an internal battery back-up for  
without moving your cup, brews one or two cups of crema  
coffee or espressos at a time, produces unlimited amounts of  
the clock functions. After plugging the S9 OT in for the first time, hot frothed and hot steamed milk and delivers up to 15 oz. hot  
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 illumi-  
nate). Leave the main power switch on for the first 24 hours to  
insure that the internal battery back-up is fully charged.  
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 cof-  
fee. 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 gener-  
ates unlimited steam instantly. Program a specific amount of  
frothed/steamed milk and the S9 OT will always deliver your pre-  
ferred 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 pre-  
pared 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!

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  
11.  
 
3a. BEAN-TO-CUP / “CREMA COFFEE" /  
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.  
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 pres-  
sured brewed coffee. Experiment with your S9 OT and prepare  
the best and most enjoyable cup of coffee!  
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.  
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).  
All Display Messages Are Shown in RED  
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.).  
• Café Mocha: Use chocolate milk then proceed as in making  
cappuccino or latte.  
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.  
Coffee volume:  
• All 1-cup buttons can be programmed to brew between  
0.5 and 8 oz. of coffee.  
• The Hot Water Portion can be programmed to dispense up to  
15 oz. of hot 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.  
• All 2-cup buttons can be programmed to brew between  
0.5 and 8 oz. per cup, total of 16 oz. max.  
Tip: if you use a 12 oz. mug and program one of the 2-cup  
buttons to 5 oz. the S9 OT will brew a total of 10 oz. of coffee  
into your mug.  
Coffee strength (AROMA):  
PLEASE, DO...  
• All 1-cup buttons can be set to five different coffee strengths:  
XMILD, MILD, NORMAL, STRONG, XSTRONG.  
In XMILD the conical burrs grind for approx. 5 seconds, in  
XSTRONG, the grinding takes about 9 seconds.  
• When using the 2-cup buttons, the S9 OT will always grind in  
XSTRONG.  
• 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 Please note: The display indicates the five strength settings with  
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.

• 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.

seconds pause, 2 oz. coffee / NORMAL.  
• Latte Macchiato; one-touch button (Fig. 3.7) 14 seconds milk,  
15 seconds pause, 2 oz. coffee / STRONG.  
• Milk portion; Selector Dial (Fig. 3.5) 14 seconds milk,  
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.  
• Water Portion; Selector Dial, 5 oz.; XHIGH.  
Other Factory Settings:  
• 5-hour auto shut-off.  
• Water hardness setting: 10ºdH.  
• Filter: FILTER NO (Clearyl Water Care Cartridge: not installed)  
• Language: English.  
• Display: AM/PM and OZ.  
• Economy Mode (energy saving): Off  
• Time / Weekday: --.-- (not set)  
• Automatic On and Off times: not set  
• Cappuccino Rinsing: set to NOW; display shows

• 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).  
6. PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR THE FIRST TIME  
• Make sure all accessories, literature and any other items are  
removed from the bean container and the water tank.  
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.  
6d. 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.  
Alternatively, you can also pour the beans into an open bowl and 7. ADJUSTING THE GRINDER  
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.  
IMPORTANT: The grinding grade can only be adjusted while  
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).  
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) • To adjust fineness, turn the grinding wheel during grinding to

small amount of water. HEATING UP / PRESS RINSE.  
• Place cup underneath the dual coffee spout (Fig. 4) and press  
the Rinse button (Fig. 2.E). MACHINE RINSING. The machine  
will dispense a small amount of water. COFFEE READY.  
Please note: You can only make coffee when the display reads  
COFFEE READY.  
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

RINSING. The water will be caught in the drawer underneath.  
The rinse cycle stops by itself and the display reads: COFFEE  
READY. You are now ready to make coffee.  
*Note: S9 OT can be programmed to automatically start the  
rinsing cycle after HEATING UP is displayed (chapter 14.7).  
9. COFFEE PREPARATION  
9a. PRE-WARM CUPS  
In the morning pre-warm your cups with hot water through the  
Hot Water Spout. Cold cups reduce the coffee temperature by  
5ºF to 10ºF.  
Place a cup under the Hot Water Spout, turn the Selector Dial  
(Fig. 3.3) until the display shows HOT WATER and push the  
Selector Dial. The display shows TEMP. XHIGH and water will  
flow into your cup. Push the Selector Dial again to stop and  
discard the water. COFFEE READY.  
8a. TURNING THE MACHINE OFF / RINSING  
Before turning off the S9 OT, place containers under the Dual  
Coffee Spouts and Auto Cappuccino System (Fig. 4).  
When the S9 OT is turned off or turns itself off it will prompt for  
short cleaning cycles as follows:  
9b. BREWING COFFEE AND ESPRESSO  
Only the Dual Coffee spouts were used: The S9 OT displays  
MACHINE RINSING. For a few seconds hot water will be  
dispensed through the Dual Coffee Spouts and through the  
coffee spout of the Cappuccino section. The machine and the  
display turn off.  
The Auto Cappuccino Spouts and the Dual Coffee Spouts  
were used: The S9 OT first displays CLEAN CAPPUCCINO  
and the Rinse button illuminates. If the Rinse button is not  
pushed within the next ten seconds, the display shows SPOUT  
RIGHT / PRESS RINSE. Press the Rinse button. The S9 OT will  
dispense some hot water through the coffee spout of the  
Cappuccino section. It will then push some hot water through  
the Dual Coffee Spouts and turn off.  
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  
and then brew the coffee. It uses a 2-step brewing process  
(pre-brew phase), pauses for a few seconds, and then starts  
the brewing process. The display will show the name of the

9c. OVERRIDING STRENGTH AND CUP SIZE DURING  
BREWING  
During brewing you can override the strength of the two one-  
cup buttons (Fig. 2, C, D) and the cup size of all four coffee  
buttons. When using the two-cup buttons the S9 OT automati-  
cally 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. 7.0 OZ. The S9 OT will brew 7.0 oz of coffee.  
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.  
For re-programming see chapter 11 (cup sizes) and chapter 14.1  
for cup sizes, temperature and strength.  
9e. USING PRE-GROUND COFFEE  
You can also use pre-ground coffee, bypassing the grinder. This  
is convenient if someone requests decaf coffee or a decaf  
cappuccino or flavored coffee.  
Please note: Never fill the funnel with instant coffee. Do not fill  
the funnel with more than two scoops. The funnel is not a  
storage container. If coffee is ground too fine the brewing  
process may be stopped.  
COFFEE READY  
• Open cover (Fig. 1,19) and push the Ground Coffee button  
(Fig. 3A,O). FILL PRE-GROUND / COFFEE READY.  
• Fill 1 or 2 level measuring scoops of ground coffee into the  
opening for ground coffee (Fig. 1,11) and close the lid.  
• Now push one of the four coffee buttons to brew your coffee  
e.g. 1 COFFEE. The pre-ground coffee is tamped and brewed.  
ENJOY, then COFFEE READY.  
9d. THE A LA CARTE BUTTON  
The S9OT has a fifth coffee button (Fig. 3A,N). With this button  
you can change the coffee volume and the coffee strength just  
17.  
 
Please note: If the Ground Coffee button (Fig. 3A,O) is  
pressed by mistake just press one of the coffee buttons, NOT  
ENOUGH PRE-GROUND. The machine will automatically stop  
and return to COFFEE READY.  
Please note: After use of sugar coated or flavored coffee  
through the pre-ground coffee funnel you may experience some  
flavor transfer when switching back to your regular coffee.  
• 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.  
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.  
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 con-  
necting 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.  
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).  
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.  
Please note: You can always stop the beverage preparation by  
pushing any of the beverage buttons.

As with the coffee buttons you can override the pre-programmed  
volumes of the milk beverage buttons.  
Example: The factory setting for the Cappuccino button is normal  
strength (3 beans graphic), 14 seconds of milk frothing and 2 oz.  
of coffee. Prepare a one-time special cappuccino, extra strong  
(5 beans graphic), more milk froth (20 seconds) and 3 oz. of coffee.  
COFFEE READY  
Turn the frothXpress dial back to your preferred position.  
IMPORTANT: If you do not use the Cappuccino Rinsing cycle,  
milk droplets might harden inside the frothXpress, resulting in  
insufficient frothing performance.  
• Place your cappuccino cup under the Cappuccino system  
and open the cover for the Rotary Dial (Fig. 1.19).  
• Push the Cappuccino Button (Fig. 3.6). During grinding turn  
the Rotary Dial to change the strength until the display shows  
the 5 bean-graphic.  
10h. USING HOT WATER  
The hot water function lets you pre-warm cups, brew tea, make  
a quick cup of soup, or add hot water to your coffee or espresso  
to create a milder flavor.  
• When the frothing starts turn the rotary dial until the display  
shows 20 SEC.

display shows 3.0 OZ.  
10g. CAPPUCCINO RINSING  
In only a few seconds this rinsing program removes milk droplets  
inside the frothXpress.  
After preparing a beverage with milk (Cappuccino Button, Latte  
Macchiato Button, Milk, Milk Portion) the S9 OT display shows  
COFFEE READY.  
20.  
 
The temperature for this function can be set to LOW, NORMAL  
and XHIGH (chapter 14.1; example 3)  
The next time you push the Cappuccino button, the S9 OT will  
produce that amount of milk and coffee.  
You can override the WATER PORTION during the hot water  
release with the Rotary Dial.  
12. WATER CARE  
You can re-program the hot water portion (chapter 14.1).  
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.  
11. VISUAL PROGRAMMING OF BEVERAGE PORTIONS  
Chapters 14 and 14.1 explain how to re-program all parameters  
(volume, strength, temperature) for the beverage buttons.  
Re-programming the cup size for coffee and milk can also be  
done during beverage preparation as follows:  
• Push and hold the beverage button you want to re-program  
until display shows ENOUGH COFFEE? or ENOUGH MILK?  
This way you can make sure your (cappuccino) cup is  
completely filled with milk and coffee.  
Example:  
Visually re-programming the Cappuccino button (Fig 3.6).

13. CLEARYL WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE  
The machine comes with one Clearyl Water Filter Cartridge. The  
Clearyl cartridge  
• Reduces the water hardness up to 75%.  
*Not Active: You can only use this setting for distilled water.  
Level 5 and Level 6: If the tap water falls into these two cate-  
gories, 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).  
• 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 recom-  
mended to decalcify the machine once or twice a year.  
To reorder cartridges, see chapter 20.  
Please note: If you use Spring or Bottled Water with low calcium  
levels you can set the hardness to 3ºdH, "extremely soft water".

energy saving mode for steam.  
26.  
 
If the machine is primarily used for coffee this setting saves  
energy. The heating element for steam (milk frothing) will shut off  
after approx. 10 minutes after last use. At this time the white  
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 cappuc-  
cinos 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.

18. TIPS FOR BETTER COFFEE  
machine for a minute.  
Height adjustable coffee-spout  
Adjust the height of the coffee-spout to the size of your cups.  
Turn machine on again. If the error message comes up again,  
try one more time.  
Grinding  
• If the message persists, call customer service.  
Please refer to chapter 7 "Adjusting the Grinder."  
Pre-warm cups  
TROUBLESHOOTING:  
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 tempera-  
ture of the coffee.  
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.  
19. ERROR MESSAGES / TROUBLESHOOTING  
ERROR MESSAGES:  
The machine can display any of the following error messages:  
ERROR 1, ERROR 3, ERROR 5  
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. 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.  
Call our customer service hot line 1-800-220-5701.  
Your machine needs to be returned for service.  
ERROR 2, ERROR 4  
Your machine is too cold. The heating sensor does not react.  
Turn the machine off.  
• Keep the machine at normal room temperature (65º F or  
higher) for 2 hours .  
• Then turn it on again.  
If display still shows ERROR 2 or ERROR 4 call customer  
service.  
ERROR 6, ERROR 7, ERROR 8  
Turn machine off, turn the main power switch off and unplug  
35.  
 
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 com-  
partment. 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 FREE OF CHARGE.  
c. If any parts are missing call: 1-800-220-5701.  
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 cof-  
fee container (Fig.1,16) is missing.  
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 frothXpress are not assembled  
properly, or the components are clogged with hardened milk, or  
one or more of the components are 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.  
Solution:  
20. SUPPLIES  
a. Remove frothXpress. Check that steam comes out of the  
steam nozzle. Place a cup underneath the steam nozzle and  
use the milk function (chapter 10e). CAUTION: hot steam is  
dispensed from the steam nozzle.  
If no steam is released stop the milk function and use a  
needle to clear blockage inside the steam nozzle.  
b. Clean all frothXpress parts and assemble properly (chapter 15.5).
