Features and Benefits:

• Touch the 1-cup button once, twice or three times for mild, regular or strong coffee. When the E8 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.
• The 2-cup button always produces twice as much coffee. So, if the cup size is set to 7 oz. the E8 will brew a total of 14 oz. With the height adjustable coffee spout any cup size will fit easily underneath.
• Two step pre-infusion cycle moistens and conditions the ground coffee. Maximum flavor extraction with perfect crema topping.
• The Impressa E8 grinds from 5 to a maximum of 16 grams of coffee from mild to extra strong.
• The Impressa E8 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.

• frothXpress PLUS System (sold separately):
  • The frothXpress PLUS system helps you to prepare perfect cappuccinos and lattes cup after cup. It automatically siphons milk from the cold milk container, combines it with hot steam and delivers hot, frothed milk into your Cappuccino cups. Turn the dial of the frothXpress plus to the latte setting and the frothXpress plus will deliver hot steamed milk with very little or no froth for that delicious Latte.
  • Setting the steam output to a certain time lets you fill cup after cup with the exact same amount of hot steamed or frothed milk. The result: always the same taste and no more wasted milk!
  • Fill as many cups as you want then add your shot of espresso and serve identical lattes or cappuccinos.
    Temperature control! For that extra hot Cappuccino or Latte move the frothXpress Plus dial from the "-" settings towards the "+" settings to increase the temperature of the milk.
