• There is a risk of burns if the lid of the coffee

maker is removed while the coffee is

brewing.

• Never pour cold water into the coffee maker

tank immediately after the brewing cycle.

recommended by Krups, only pour water

and the descaling solutions specified in the

manual into the espresso and coffee maker

water tanks.

• To disconnect, turn the switch to “OFF”,

then remove plug from wall socket.

• Do not use appliance for other than

intended use.

• Use extreme caution when dispensing hot

steam.

Espresso Coffee

For optimal results, choose special ground

espresso coffee, which is ideally compacted.

Due to the pressure created by your machine’s

15-bar pump, hot water passes through this

finely ground coffee for a shorter time. The

resulting liquid is rich, dark, and extremely

flavourful and intensely aromatic: the

concentrated essence of the coffee bean.

Espresso is not served in regular coffee cups,

but in small 35ml shots. The perfect espresso

shot is topped by beautiful, thick, golden

foam known as crema, a product of the

natural oils in the coffee bean, and the source

of its rich flavour and aroma.

It is important to note that your espresso

coffee must be both well roasted coffee and

correctly ground. If you cannot buy ground

espresso coffee, use a coffee grinder to grind

the beans. The coffee must not be ground too

fine. It must be slightly granulated, with a

consistency somewhat between flour and

sugar. Too fine a grind results in bitter, over-

extracted espresso and a risk of blocking the

grid of the brewing head and the filter; too

coarse and the espresso will be weak and

under-extracted.

In addition to the coffee you use, the other

three factors that determine perfect espresso

results are water, temperature and pressure.

Your Krups machine ensures all three are

precision-controlled by expertly designed

technology. What you must ensure is that the

water you use is freshly-drawn (so that it has

not had time to stagnate in the air), without

any chlorine odour and at a fairly cold

temperature.

We recommend that you filter your water

using a commercially available KRUPS

Claris - Aqua Filter System cartridge

(reference F088).

There are a number of misconceptions

surrounding espresso. The first is that espresso

should be bitter and burnt tasting. In fact, the

ideal espresso shot should be aromatic,

bittersweet (not bitter) and assertive, with a

lingering aftertaste.

The second myth is that drinking espresso will

keep you awake all night. Actually, despite its

strong flavour, espresso contains less caffeine

than regular coffee; typically 60-80 mg per

shot compared to 80-100 mg per cup of

regular coffee due to espresso's shorter

percolation time.

And finally, many people think that espresso

takes too long to prepare. The truth is, as the

name implies, an espresso is intended to be

served quickly, without elaborate preparation.

As you will discover, your Krups espresso

machine has been intuitively designed for easy

use and built for the long term.
