Jura Capresso Impressa F8 Espresso Machine

Features and Benefits:

• Touch the 1-cup button once, twice or three times for mild, regular or strong coffee. When the F8 starts grinding, the display shows the last cup size used in oz. At this time the left rotary dial illuminates. Just turn the dial and change the cup size from 1 oz. to 8 oz. It can't get any more convenient.
• Push the 2-cup button and the F8 will always produce twice as much coffee as shown in the display. So, if the cup size is set to 7 oz. the F8 will brew a total of 14 oz. With the height adjustable coffee spout any size cup will fit easily underneath.
• Two step pre-infusion cycle moistens and conditions the ground coffee. Maximum flavor extraction with perfect crema topping.
• The Impressa F8 grinds from 5 to a maximum of 16 grams of coffee from mild to extra strong.
• Choose from two temperature settings. Some like it hot, some don't.
• The Impressa F8 froths and steams milk in a pitcher or right in your cup. Then without any delay, it grinds the beans tamps and brews your coffee in less than 50 seconds...or vice versa! No more work, no more guessing, no more messy clean-up.
• 64 oz. removable water container. Good for 40 espressos at a time.
• Integrated professional solid steel conical burr grinder for consistent and aroma-saving grinding. Six settings allow you to adjust the fineness for all kinds of beans - from light to dark roasts.
• 8 oz. bean container. Grind up to 30 portions of coffee before refilling.
• Frother can be used to release hot water for Cafe Americano or a cup of tea. The hot water function is also programmable from 1 to 16 oz.
• New CLEARYL Water Care System . Removes chlorine, lead, aluminum and copper for a better tasting coffee. A special organic additive removes almost all carbon and eliminates decalcifying altogether.
• Electronic CLEARYL cartridge change indicator makes sure that you always have the best water possible.
• Separate funnel for pre-ground coffee. Use for decaf or flavored coffees. The moment you lift the lid of the funnel, the F8 knows that you want to use pre-ground coffee. It actually asks you via the display to add ground coffee.
• 18-bar power pump with 1450 watt stainless steel lined ThermoBlock heating system. Fast continuous operation for use at home or in the office.

Dual Frother PLUS:

• Push the steam button. Within seconds, the ThermoBlock heating system reaches steaming temperature. Immerse the Dual Frother Plus into your milk pitcher or in your cup filled with milk. When the display reads STEAM READY turn the dial on the right side to the steam / hot water symbol. Hot steam is released immediately. Steam output is continuous. With the left rotary dial you can time the steam output from 3 to 120 seconds. Or you can just stop the steam output by turning the dial back to the cup symbol. Need more steam? As long as the display reads STEAM READY, you can steam away.
• The Dual Frother Plus is fast and easy to use. With two settings for latte (steaming milk) and cappuccino (steaming and frothing milk). Click on the video clip to see the frother in action.
• The frother function can be set from 3 to 120 seconds. This comes in handy when using the frothXpress Plus system (sold separately). For more information on this system watch the video clip entitled frothXpress Plus on this page.
