F90/F9 specifications

The Jura Capresso F90/F9 is an automatic coffee machine that exemplifies cutting-edge technology and user-friendly design. It appeals to coffee enthusiasts looking for convenience without compromising on quality. This model stands out for its ability to deliver barista-style beverages right in the comfort of your home.

At the heart of the F90/F9 is its advanced brewing system, which features a professional-grade coffee brewing group. This unit can be easily removed for cleaning, ensuring the machine maintains optimal performance over time. The intelligent pre-brew aroma system expands the coffee grounds before brewing, releasing essential oils and enhancing flavor extraction for a richer cup every time.

Technology wise, Jura's patented Pulse Extraction Process (P.E.P.) is a game-changer. This process optimally extracts flavor by using short bursts of water with precise timing, enhancing the extraction of aromatic compounds. That allows the brewing time for espresso to be more versatile, accommodating various coffee styles and intensities.

The F90/F9 boasts an intuitive color display that guides users through the coffee-making process, complete with customizable settings, ensuring personal preferences are easily met. The machine is equipped with a built-in grinder, featuring multiple grind settings that allow for a tailored coffee experience based on bean type and desired strength.
