The Jura C9 One Touch features one of the most compact designs and user-friendly controls on the market today. As the name suggests, the Jura C9 makes cafe quality cappuccinos and lattes at the touch of a button.

The best thing about the design of the C9 is you do not even have to move the cup when making specialty drinks - the milk and espresso spouts are conveniently located right next to each other.

The C9 comes with a 14-ounce thermal stainless-steel milk container, which stays right next to the machine and keeps cold milk cold for up to eight hours. At the touch of a button the machine will steam and froth the milk; grind, tamp, and high-pressure brew coffee or espresso; then dispense automatically into the cup. It could not be easier.You may also be interested to know that this makes the process of making cappuccinos and lattes not only easier but also quicker than the traditional steam wand.

One thing you will need to do is spend some time familiarizing yourself with the machine in order to program your preferences. Among the options that you have to choose from are two temperature settings, three strength levels, and volume - from 1 to 16 ounces at a time. The Jura C9 has a number of impressive features. Among them is a high-quality conical burr grinder (no burnt coffee here) that has 6 fineness settings and their patented Clearyl water filter that conveniently eliminates the need for decalcification. Something to be aware of though is to avoid the use of dark oily coffee beans as these do have a tendency to clog up the machine.

Finally it should be noted that the Jura Impressa C9 is very energy efficient. The main power switch ensures that zero energy is pulled when the machine is off but still plugged in. In addition programmable energy-saving options allow the machine to draw less energy when in stand-by mode. In summary this is an attractive, space-saving one touch automatic coffee center that makes the process of brewing fine espresso almost effortless.
