PLEASE WAIT

RINSE UNIT Place a container under the coffee-spout (Fig. 8b) and press the RINSE button (Fig. 2,F). UNIT RINSING COFFEE READY Attention: You can only make coffee when the display reads COFFEE READY.

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 cover of the bean container (Fig.5). To adjust grinding turn the selector switch to the desired position (Fig.9). You have the following possibilities: The smaller the dots, the finer the grinding. The bigger the dots, the coarser the grinding. 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.

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.

7a. ADDING COFFEE BEANS

Lift up cover of the bean container (Fig. 5) and remove aroma protection lid (Fig. 6). Clean out any dirt or foreign objects from the bean container. Fill the bean container with coffee beans (Fig.7), replace the aroma protection lid (Fig.6), and close the cover.

9. RINSING THE MACHINE

The machine will automatically complete a rinse cycle when it is turned off (or when the machine turns off automatically). When the machine is cold and you turn the machine on it will warm up. PLEASE WAIT RINSE UNIT Place an empty cup under the coffee-spout (Fig. 8b) and press the RINSE button. You can always rinse at any time. Just press the RINSE button.
7b. FIRST TIME GRINDING/BREWING
Move the coffee spout up (Fig.8b). Put a large cup underneath the coffee spout. Make sure there is water in the tank. Push the SPECIAL COFFEE button (Fig.2,C). The machine will start grinding. Then it will pre-brew, pause, and continue brewing. It will brew approx. 8 oz. of coffee. During the first brewing cycle the coffee will be extremely weak since some of the ground coffee stays in the connector channel between the grinder and the brewing chamber. Your next cup of coffee will be fine.

10. ADJUSTING FOR WATER HARDNESS
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 harder 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+ You can also use the enclosed water hardness indicator strip to determine the water hardness: Insert the stick for one second into the water you want to use. Shake off any access water and wait for one minute. If all five fields of the test stick turn reddish, set the hardness level to 4. If four fields turn reddish, set the hardness level to 3. If three or less fields turn reddish, leave the level in position 2. You can change the hardness settings as follows: COFFEE READY Open cover for programming buttons (Fig.1,19) and press and hold the P button (Fig.3A,P) until you hear a beep. PRESS KEY / POWDER QUANTITY Press the + button several times until the display shows: HARDNESS LEVEL 2. Press the P button. You will hear one beep. 13.

The display will show COFFEE READY. In level the water hardness monitor is turned off. IMPORTANT: Turning the monitor off requires you to use the Claris filter cartridge or distilled water.
11. CLARIS WATER CARTRIDGE
The machine comes with one free Claris water cartridge. The Claris water cartridge is specially made for use with the Impressa machines. The Claris 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 (See Fig. 10) just before the brewing cycle starts, ensuring freshly filtered water every time you make coffee. Eliminates decalcifying. When using the Claris water cartridge, you never need to decalcify your machine. Is available through your retailer, the enclosed mail order form, or through www.capresso.com, or call 1-800-220-5701.
11a. INSTALLING THE CLARIS CARTRIDGE
Make sure the water tank is empty. Remove cartridge from its bag. Snap the Claris extension tube on top of the cartridge (Fig. 11). Open water container lid and pull up the holder for the Claris
cartridge (Fig.12). Insert the cartridge with its tapered end down and the extension piece up. Make sure it fits snugly over the white mesh piece inside the water container. Push down gently (Fig.13). Close the holder for the cartridge so that it engages in the water tank (Fig.12). Fill the water tank with fresh cold water and replace.

IMPORTANT: If you select "YES" for the Claris Cartridge the function WATER HARDNESS is suppressed and turned off.
11c. REPLACING THE CLARIS CARTRIDGE
The filter is monitored automatically. After approx. 50 liters (approx. 55 quarts) of water, the filter loses its effect. The display will show: REPLACE FILTER Attention: The filter should be changed every 2 months if you use less than 50 liters. In this case, no message will appear in the display. Remove the old cartridge, snap the extension tube onto the new cartridge and install. The old cartridge is environmentally friendly. Dispose with regular household trash. Fill water tank with fresh water. Open front cover and press the CLARIS button (Fig.3A,R). for a few seconds until you hear a beep. RINSE FILTER / PRESS STEAM Place a large container (approx. 1 liter or at least 22 oz.) under the steam nozzle and then press the PERMANENT steam button (Fig.3,M). PLEASE WAIT / FILTER RINSING Water will be dispersed into the container and will stop automatically. When the cycle stops the machine will display COFFEE READY.
11b. PROGRAMMING THE CLARIS CARTRIDGE

12. MAKING ESPRESSO AND CREMA COFFEE
To understand the principles of pressure brewing refer to chapters 4. through 4.3. 14.
Push the ON/OFF button to turn the machine on. PLEASE WAIT The machine is heating up. Then the display will read: RINSE UNIT Place an empty cup under the coffee-spout (Fig. 8b) and press the RINSE button (Fig. 2,F). UNIT RINSING COFFEE READY You are now ready to make coffee. Place 1 or 2 cups under the coffee-spout and press one of the cup buttons (Fig. 2; C,D,E,G,H). The pre-brew system moistens the coffee powder, briefly interrupts the flow and then starts the real brewing process. IMPORTANT: You can stop the flow of coffee at any time by pressing any of the coffee buttons. Adjust the coffee-spout (Fig. 8a,8b) to the size of your cups.

14b. CLEANING THE DUAL FROTHER PLUS
The tip and sleeve of the frother are high precision parts (Fig. 14). Always keep those parts clean and free of any milk residue. Make sure that the two side holes, the grove and the hole on the bottom of the tip are always free of any milk deposits. After finishing frothing, remove the Dual Frother Plus and immerse it in a cup with warm water. This is the easiest way to keep the milk from hardening. The frother is attached securely to the steam nozzle. Before pulling it down, turn it a few times to loosen it. Then turn and pull down at the same time. When replacing the frother turn and push it up to make a tight connection. This will prevent the frother from becoming loose when steam is passing through. Cleaning the steam nozzle: The Dual-Frother-PLUS is off (Fig. 4). Place a cup underneath the steam nozzle and press the PERMANENT steam button. Steam will eject any milk droplets. Stop the process after one or two seconds. Tip: if the steam nozzle is blocked by hardened milk, use a needle and loosen up the milk deposit. Then let some steam pass through the steam nozzle.
14c. USING THE FROTHXPRESS PLUS SYSTEM WITH MILK CONTAINER (standard with S9)
The frothXpress system lets you produce hot steamed or frothed milk right into your cup. After playing a bit with this attachment you will be able to get exactly the amount of frothed or steamed milk you want in your cup (refer to the video). Remove the Dual-Frother-PLUS. Fill the milk container with cold milk. 16.
Assemble the milk container as shown in Fig. 15. Attach the frothXpress-PLUS system as shown in Fig. 15a. 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 (frothing range). Start with the dial pointing to the "-" symbol (12 o'clock). Milk will be siphoned, heated and frothed. For hotter milk, move the lever towards the "+" symbol (See Fig. 15). Steaming Position: The dial points to the lower part of the face (steaming range). Start with the dial pointing to the "-" symbol (6 o'clock). Milk will be siphoned and heated with no froth. For hotter milk move the lever towards the "+" symbol. Steam Only Position: When the dial points to the steam symbol (3 o'clock), the siphoning is blocked. Only steam will pass through the frother Fig. 16. Frothing Place a cup underneath the frothXpress (see Fig. 15a). The machine is ready to produce steam as long as both green lights in the steam buttons are illuminated. If they are off, just push either button. Both lights will start blinking for about 15 seconds and then will stay illuminated. Make sure that the dial points to the 12 o'clock position. Press the PERMANENT steam button. The display will read STEAM INTAKE and frothing will begin immediately. When you have enough frothed milk push the button again. Frothing will stop. If you always use the same amount of frothed/steamed milk, you can use the STEAM PORTION button (Fig. 3,K). Steam will be 17.

dispensed for the programmed time and then it will stop automatically. During this time the display shows STEAM PORTION. The factory setting is for 14 seconds of steaming. You can program the steam portion button to froth from 3 to 250 seconds (see chapter 15.4). Hotter Milk If you want your frothed milk hotter, move the dial to the middle position (3 o'clock). Lift the cup so that the bottom of the frother is slightly immersed into the milk. Push the PERMANENT steam button. Hot steam will increase the milk temperature. Push the button again to stop. Steaming Setting the dial to the lower part of the face, will eliminate any froth build up. Milk will be siphoned and warmed. Otherwise it is the same procedure as explained above under "Frothing". TIP: After filling your cup(s) with the desired amount of hot frothed milk you can immediately move it (them) underneath the coffee spouts and brew coffee.
14d. USING THE FROTHXPRESS PLUS SYSTEM WITH FLEXIBLE HOSE (Fig. 17)
The S9 comes equipped with a long flexible hose. This is useful if you have your regular milk in the milk container and you want to use another milk or chocolate milk. Insert the black connecting piece into the frothXpress system. Insert the other side of the flexible hose into a milk carton.
Now froth or steam as described in chapter 14c.
14g. CLEANING THE MILK CONTAINER
Remove the lid of the milk container. (The milk container is dishwasher safe; upper rack.) Clean the lid and the two metal hoses with warm water. Assemble as shown in Fig. 15.
14e. HOT CHOCOLATE, CAFE MOCHA
For hot chocolate fill the milk container with the desired amount of chocolate syrup, add cold milk and stir well. Then proceed as described under "Frothing". Adding a shot or two of espresso makes it a Caf Mocha.
15. PROGRAMMING 14f. CLEANING THE FROTHXPRESS PLUS Remove the hose which connects the frothXpress Plus and
the milk container. Store the milk container in the refrigerator. Remove the frothXpress from the steam nozzle. Drop the hose and the frothXpress in a cup with warm water. This will prevent the milk from hardening. Place a cup underneath the steam nozzle and push the PERMANENT steam button and let steam pass through for a second or two (see Fig. 4). Replace the frothXpress-PLUS system. Before leaving our factory, many of the functions are set to enable you to obtain coffee without any additional programming (see chapter 6 Factory Settings). You can change a variety of parameters to produce coffee to your personal taste. The programming buttons (Fig. 3A) are located behind the cover for programming (Fig.1,19). The following functions can be programmed: s Amount of coffee (POWDER QUANTITY) s Coffee temperature s Cup size (WATER QUANTITY) s Steam portion s Amount of hot water (TEA PORTION) s Claris filter cartridge s Water hardness s Economy mode s Clock/time s Auto turn-on s Auto shut-off s Supplies and cup counter (information only) s Languages

18. TIPS FOR PERFECT COFFEE
Height adjustable coffee-spout Adjust the height of the coffee-spout to the size of your cups. 26.
Grinding Please refer to chapter 8 "Adjusting the Grinder." Pre-warm cups You should warm cups in advance with hot water or steam. The smaller the quantity of coffee, the more important it is to warm your cups. 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.

21. 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: You used ground coffee in the ground coffee funnel. The ground coffee was too fine. 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 connecting valve is free of any particles (like a coffee bean etc). Reason: The ground coffee funnel is clogged; the internal brewing chamber is clogged. Solution: Place a large cup underneath the coffee spout. Push the rinse button (Fig.2,F) 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. Reason: The low water floatation device (Fig.1,4) 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 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 to you FREE OF CHARGE. 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 123. 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. 28.
D. GRINDER MAKES AN EXTREMELY LOUD NOISE; NO BEANS ARE GROUND Reason: A stone or something else is blocking the burr grinder. Solution: See chapter 16.5 and 16.6. E. THE REMOVABLE DRAWER (Fig.1, 18) DOESNT 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.

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). Caf 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 RED 4. PLEASE, DONT. (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.). 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. 5. FACTORY SETTINGS / OPTIONS The IMPRESSA S9 One Touch can be set up in many different ways. Beverages, on/off settings, temperature, rinse cycles, water treatment, energy savings modes and display information can be programmed to your personal preferences.

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.

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 oclock). This section is used for Cappuccino and Latte Macchiato. In the 12 oclock position the frothXpress creates the most milk froth. Turning the dial towards the 2 oclock position increases the milk temperature (Fig. 16). Steaming Position: The dial points to the lower part of the face 18.
(6 to 4 oclock). Milk will be steamed, not frothed. Turning the dial towards the 4 oclock 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. 10c. PREPARING ONE-TOUCH CAPPUCCINO, CAF MOCHA AND LATTE COFFEE READY. The frothXpress dial points to area between 12 and 2 oclock The milk container is connected. Place your cappuccino cup underneath the Cappuccino system and push the cappuccino button (Fig. 3.6). The S9 OT starts grinding, the display shows CAPPUCCINO and the coffee strength (bean graphic). It then siphons, heats and froths milk for 14 seconds and adds 2 oz. of high-pressure brewed coffee (Factory Settings, chapter 5). The display shows ENJOY then COFFEE READY. Tip: If you use a glass cup you can see how much froth is created and how the coffee sits beneath the layer of milk froth. Slightly stir to distribute the coffee evenly into the hot milk. CAF MOCHA: use chocolate milk or add chocolate syrup to your cold milk and stir then proceed as explained before. LATTE: turn the frothXpress dial between the 4 and 6 oclock position and repeat above steps. Milk is steamed without froth. Please note: You can always add an additional shot of espresso by placing your cup under the Dual Coffee Spouts (Fig. 4) and pushing the 1-Cup Espresso button. You can also add additional hot milk (chapter 10e).

Please note: You can always stop the beverage preparation by pushing any of the beverage buttons. 10d. PREPARING ONE-TOUCH LATTE MACCHIATO This beverage is very popular in Europe. It is normally served in glasses, approx. 4 to 5 inches tall and 2 inches in diameter. COFFEE READY. The frothXpress dial points to the 12 to 2 oclock position. Place your latte macchiato glass underneath the Cappuccino system and push the Latte Macchiato button (Fig. 3.7). The S9 OT starts grinding, the display shows LATTE MAC. and the coffee strength. It then siphons, heats and froths milk for 14 seconds and pauses. The display shows PAUSE (factory setting is 15 seconds). During this time the milk separates from the milk froth. After the pause 2 oz. of high-pressure brewed coffee are automatically added. LATTE MAC. Then ENJOY. The coffee settles between the froth and the milk giving the beverage the typical multi-layered, Latte Macchiato look. COFFEE READY. 10e. PREPARING HOT MILK / HOT CHOCOLATE The Cappuccino System can produce hot milk or hot chocolate without brewing coffee. COFFEE READY. Connect the milk container to the frothXpress system or use the long flexible hose inserted into any milk carton. Place your cup underneath the Cappuccino system. Turn the Selector Dial (Fig. 3.3) until the display shows MILK or MILK PORTION ("MILK" siphons milk until you stop the action by pushing the Selector Dial button again. 19.
"MILK PORTION" siphons milk for a programmed time and stops automatically). Push the button inside the Selector Dial. The display shows MILK or MILK PORTION. During this time hot steamed / frothed milk is created and delivered into your cup. COFFEE READY. 10f. OVERRIDING THE CAPPUCCINO SETTINGS 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 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. When the frothing starts turn the rotary dial until the display shows 20 SEC. When the coffee brewing starts turn the Rotary Dial until the display shows 3.0 OZ. 10g. CAPPUCCINO RINSING In only a few seconds this rinsing program removes milk droplets inside the frothXpress.
