Jura Capresso Impressa E8 Espresso/Coffee Maker Questions & Answers
Why fill bean message shows on display when machine is full of beans?
Difficult to say without the machine in front of me. Normally you get this response if no beans fall into the grinder. Are your beans oily, sticking together and not falling in?
Normally freshly roasted beans esp dark roasts are a bit oily. If so then you can change roasts, brands or mix with another type.
You might try to adjust your grind per the manual. (turn knob inside the bin while the grinder is grinding) see #8 page 12.
If the beans are falling in and grinding and you still get this msg I would say you have a grinder problem.

Grind time is short, puck is wet and sloppy, espresso weak
Sounds like you might have more than one problem.
From page 12 of the manual... NOTE THE LAST LINE.
"8. ADJUSTING THE GRINDER
......
• Open the lid of the bean container.
• While the grinder is running turn the grind selector switch to
the desired position (Fig. 6).
-The smaller the dots, the finer the grind.
-The bigger the dots, the coarser the grind.
Important:
The grinding grade can only be adjusted while
the grinder is actually grinding."
Why empty grounds message stays
So did you empty the grounds?
Pull the plug and plug it back in.
There is an encoder disk that spins around to control the mechanical movements inside the unit. Some mechanical piece is not where it is supposed to be and the circuit board it waiting for a sensor to clear. Cycling the power will normally make all the mechanics reset to the start position and clears errors/jams etc.
Missing drawer light on but drawer is in place
Hi Jill our coffee machine is built in and not your brand but our problem related to a sensor at the back of our tray which had broken off we found it and glued it back on which worked for a little while in the end we replaced the tray and have had no further problems. Hope this help. Cheers Wayne
The flap will not go all the way up so the drawer can go all the way in
This one is easy. Remove the tray then unplug the machine. Wait a full five minutes then put then put the tray back In WITHOUT the box. Plug it back in. It will recycle and the flap will behave again. FYI make sure that each time you remove the grounds you find the screen behind and above the flap and clean it with a wet paper towel. It's the size of a nickle and gets clogged if you don't do this.
Filter change
this was absolutely the problem with my Jura Capressa E-8 machine. I followed instructions after changing the filter. I opened tap-machine stated that it was filling system- I closed tap when instruction. The open tap remained on because no water was filling system. I took the frother tip off and opened tap. Water filled system (container under frother). I closed tap without the frother tip. Machine Ready.... (I heated water in microwave for three minutes) I placed the frother tip in there and used a wooden skewer to ensure frother was clear of debris... Worked like a charm!
Drawer will not go back in for Jura Capresso impressa
For Jura F7 Series, "Tray Missing, can't put it back in". With a small flashlight, look in to the cavity which the tray and grounds container reside in. Along the right side above a slot to the end, you'll see a white micro switch. with a "Tooth Pick" simply press the switch inward (to the right) and hold till the machine cycles the Levcer / Flap up and out of the way.! Put your tray and grounds container back in and begin brewing!! -dh
