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

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.

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)

• 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

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
Fill the water container every morning with fresh, cold water. This
will enhance the taste of your coffee.

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
button you pushed, e.g. 1 ESPRESSO and the selected coffee
strength indicated by a bean graphic, e.g. 4 beans = strong.
Please note: when pushing any of the two-cup buttons, the
coffee strength is not displayed.
Please note: When the S9 OT turns off you may hear a slight
hissing noise.
Important: After the brewing stops the machine will discard the
used coffee grounds. Please do not try to pull out the drawer
(Fig.1,18) during this operation. It can seriously damage the
machine.There is no need to pull out the drawer until the display
shows the message EMPTY TRAY or EMPTY GROUNDS.
16.
Please note: You can always stop the brewing process by
before brewing. COFFEE READY.
pressing any of the coffee buttons.
• Push the A LA CARTE button (Fig. 3A.N). The display shows
A LA CARTE and the strengths indicated by the bean graphic
e.g. 2 beans (mild).
• Turn the Rotary Dial to choose any of five strength settings:
XMILD, MILD, NORMAL, STRONG, XSTRONG, indicated by
1 to 5 beans in the bean graphic.
• Then push the Rotary Dial. The machine starts grinding. Now
dial the coffee volume.
Please note: If you push the A LA CARTE button and do not
push the Rotary Dial within a few seconds, the display will
revert to COFFEE READY.
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.

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).

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".

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).
