Customer Reviews for Jura Impressa XS90 Automatic Coffee Center

Jura Impressa XS90 Automatic Coffee Center

A touch of a button is all it takes to make one of the seven individually programmable specialties that can be prepared with the IMPRESSA XS90. Use the Professional Cappuccino Frother to take the hard work out of making special favorites like Cappuccino or Latte Macchiato. The height of the coffee dispenser is infinitely adjustable, which means you can use virtually any size of cup of glass, and the machine has two separate integrated heating systems to facilitate seamless, instantaneous switching from hot water to steam production. The powder dispenser allows pre-ground coffee blend to give you even more possibilities. Features: Intelligent Pre Brew Aroma System (I.P.B.A.S.©): Gets the best out of every blend and roast of coffee. Coffee lovers and connoisseurs will therefore appreciate the Intelligent Pre Brew Aroma System (I.P.B.A.S.©).   Active bean monitoring: Puts an end to the empty coffee grinders and half-empty coffee cups once and for all because it tells you in good time when you need to refill the bean container.   Sound Design: The grinding sound typical of fully automatic machines is effectively suppressed to the level of background noise.   Energy Save Mode (E.S.M. ©): The machine’s energy-saving potential can be adjusted entirely to your habits and you can save up to 40 % of the energy normally required.   Rotary Switch: Simply by turning and pressing the switch, you can vary all the settings to suit your personal taste.   Connector System©: Enables the use of a Professional Cappuccino Frother, an Easy Cappuccino Frother as well as the 2-stage frothing nozzle and hot water nozzle.   Precision grinding machine: The optimum blend of small and large grains is guaranteed by the six-setting precision grinder, which is now even quieter thanks to the contribution of a team of acousticians. And an active bean level monitoring system ensures that the grinder will never run empty.   Ecological intelligence: Use the machine's energy saving mode (E.S.M.©) to suit the circumstances: this helps you save energy - and money - without having to give up genuine coffee specialties. And if you plan not to use the machine for a while, you can use the built-in mains switch to shut off the mains power supply completely.   Capacity: Ideal for situations where a daily capacity of 50 cups is required. Comes with a 1.57-gallon water tank, a container for up to 10 ounces of coffee beans and a grounds container for up to 40 portions.   Integrated rinsing and cleaning: Guarantees your machine a long and active life. Maintenance program display: The display dialogue system has clearly legible red symbols that indicate when one of the maintenance programs needs to be activated. The machine then takes you through the necessary operating and programming steps in a choice of seven languages. Less frequently used programming buttons are discreetly concealed behind a flap. 2-level height-adjustable coffee dispenser   Separate hot water and steam dispensers with separate heating systems   Cup illumination   Cup warming tray   Water filter display   Recognition of de-scaling Automatic filter change notification   Seven-language Display-Dialog system   Coffee à la carte   Auto-Cappuccino for milk froth   Auto-Cappuccino for warm milk   UL listed   Power: 1350 W   Cord length: 3.6 feet   Dimensions: 16.25" W x 16.25" D x 18.5" H; Weight: 33.5 lbs.   1 year limited warranty, or up to 6,000 cups of coffee, whichever comes first   Swiss made   For further product information please call Jura-Capresso at 1-800-767-3554.

Amazing Coffee!!

Pros: so simple and good!
Cons: none
Model Number: Jura Impressa XS90
"Based on this machine, we're getting a Jura for our second home. We cannot be without such good coffee! Honestly, as good as Starbucks, less expensive, and how can it be more convenient -- the drive, long lines, and hassle, unless of course you enjoy that. But what happens if you want a second, or third, or fourth cup? I would rather have good coffee, and control my own time."

Very nice machine

Model Number: XS90
"I have had an S9 and x90 in my office for 7 and 6 years, respectively. I have never had any maintenance issues with them, and they get pretty good use. I just bought and set up the XS90 (wanted to take home the S9). It has many improvements to my old (and superlative) units. It gives more control and is just "tighter". While it is certainly not cheap it is a very good buy(at Costco price) relative to to it's market."

Hard to figure out this Machine

Model Number: Jura-Capresso Impressa XS90
"I purchases this unit for home use and was looking forward to getting the machine because of the reviews! This machine arrived and from the start I had problems! I was so disappointed this machine did not come with instructional CD. The manual is just completely useless! The only way I was able to figure out this machine was to look on the internet and search this machine. Thank god for Youtube! After all this, my machine was defective right from the start! Customer sevice sent another unit and this new unit was a better model than you can buy from Costco, it is one touch system. No book for this replacement machine. I am disappointed, I really wanted this machine to work! I have returned both machines!!"

Saves $

Pros: european coffee right @ home, fresh!, no need to go to expensive coffee bistro anymore
Cons: expensive, mostly plastic, first machine did not work
"I have owned this product for 8 months. The first machine did not work. Jura sent me a new one which, to date, seems to be working well. This machine has saved us a lot of money in the long run as my husband and I no longer need to go to the very expensive famous coffee bistro for our morning coffees. Although it is an investment, if you drink a lot of specialty drinks, it is worth the money. I DO worry about the life of the machine as it is mostly made out of plastic and I would have expected a more durable machine for this price.
I mainly drink Cappucinos, and although they are tasty, I still have been unable to create the same froth that the barista makes. I am enjoying this machine and guests always comment that the coffee tastes fresh, superb and like a European cup of coffee. The biggest downfall is that you might end up drinking MORE coffee than you did before because it's so yummy and easy to make :)"

Too big

"I bought this machine looking for commercial quality. Unfortunately the dimensions listed are incorrect. Without the hopper attached the machine is 18.5 inches tall. We could not fit it under our counter."

Great for a Small Office

Pros: great tasting coffee, versatility, large water reservoir
Cons: rather large
Model Number: Impressa XS90
"I researched and purchased this unit for our 20-person office, and everyone is thrilled with it--from morning coffee, afternoon espressi or lattes, to cappucino breaks--all have become a treat for our hard-working staff and visiting international customers. (They are somewhat surprised this perk is available in our town, let alone our office!) Warming rack and hot water dispenser are both nice to have. Cleaning is easy and the machine is quite intuitive to program. Love it!"

Awesome!

Pros: the best coffee
Cons: a little large but worth it.
Model Number: Jura-Capresso Impressa XS90
"A little pricey - yes. A little on the large side - yes. The BEST coffee/espresso ever - YES!!! Easy to use - yes.
As is usual with Costco, the product was delivered promptly and in mint condition. If you love a really good cup of coffee, this is definitely the machine for you. No more daily road trips for a $4 latte."

Commercial results at home

Model Number: XS90
"After visiting relatives in Europe and seeing them use their DeLohnghi superautomatic, I decided it was was time to upgrade our Saeco semi automatic machine.
We use this for our home and it seemed a bit much, however, Costco's price made it a value. Reviews stated the Jura produced better steamed milk and foam than other brands.
I need to clarify that the dimensions listed include a removable bean hopper, so without it, this fits nicely under my kitchen counter. It really doesn't use much more space than my old machine. Also, my grinder and the mess that goes with it are off the counter.
The XS90's bean grinding is not too loud, so we can use this without fear of waking up the kids. It heats up quickly in the economy mode. I can make several drinks at a time without waiting for it to reheat. I can use the included frothing attachment and make hot lattes easily, although it may not be hot enough for some people.
The large capacity water pitcher, bean hopper and used ground basket mean I can go longer without refilling and emptying. The fact it rinses the parts inside, means I don't have to. This was another advantage over other brands.
It is nice having a clean counter without any coffee grinds and mess. I love being able to push a button and have a single or double shot of espresso. Very happy with this purchase."
