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 with the DualFrother PLUS or with the automatic frothXpress system (both are standard; for more information see below) After steaming/frothing your milk, the F8 – without delay –grinds the beans and pressure-brews the espresso into your cup. No more work, no more guessing. * 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 to quickly pre-heat your cup or for that perfect Cafe Americano or to make a cup of tea in seconds. The hot water function is also programmable from 1 to 16 oz. * New CLEARYL Water Care System . Removes chlorine, lead, aluminum and copper from your tap water 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 F7 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.See less »
