plate corresponds to that of your electricity
system.
It complies with the requirements of the EEC
Directive (89/336/EEC) and (72/23/EEC).
• Never put your espresso on a hot surface
(electric warming plate, for example) or close
to a flame. Place on a flat, stable heatresistant surface.
• Never remove the filter holder containing
the coffee grounds while water is being
passed through, since the appliance is under
pressure at this time.
• Never use the appliance if the drip plate and
the grid are not in position.

Espresso coffee
Espresso coffee is richer in aroma and stronger
than normal coffee. It is drunk from small preheated espresso cups. Hot water is passed
through the ground coffee to obtain this
delicious black coffee.
14
You can recognise an espresso by its
characteristic aroma and its typical crema. But
this requires high pressure and an excellent
fresh espresso coffee which has been well
roasted and correctly ground.
If you cannot buy espresso ground coffee, use
a coffee grinder to grind the beans.
So as to obtain a sufficient crema with a good
colour, it is normal that the flow rate of the
coffee is slower than with a filter coffee
machine.
To guarantee complete success for your
espresso, you must also use freshly-drawn
water (so that it has not had time to stagnate
in the air), without any chlorine odour and at
a fairly cold temperature.
The coffee must not be ground too fine. It
must be slightly granulated. If it is too fine,
you risk blocking the grid of the brewing
head and the filter. Only use Espresso ground
coffee. Do not use any other type of coffee
such as filter, cafetiere, instant etc.
Before first using your machine
Before using your appliance for the first time,
clean the water heating system, without
coffee in the filter holder, filling the water
tanks once or twice, as follows:
• Open the lid and lift out the water tank
using the handle (1). Fill with water (2).
• Replace the tank, positioning it firmly to
ensure that water can enter, and close the
lid (3).
• Press the Start/Stop switch (4) whereby the
blue operating control lamp blinks. Two
filters are kept in the tank lid.
• Place one of the filters in the filter holder
(5). Then put the filter holder on the
appliance’s brewing head.
• To ensure that the filter holder is in the
correct position, turn the handle so it points
to the left (6), place the filter holder flat
against the brewing head, then turn the
handle towards the right (7) as far as it can
go (may not be at right-angles).
• Place a container, as large as possible,
beneath the filter holder (8).
• As soon as the blue operating control lamp
glows continuously,
The appliance is ready to operate.
• Pressing the double coffee button
will now cause water to run through the
water circuit.
Repeat this process five times.
As an optional extra, there is a filter
cartridge available (N° art. F088 not
delivered with the appliance).

. WITH THE SPECIAL «ESE» FILTER
The E.S.E. system was designed for making
Italian-style espresso ristreto (squeezed). The
amount of coffee is 35 ml and the water
should take 20 seconds to run through.
(see Individual Programming to adjust volume)
«ESE», which stands for «Easy Serving
Espresso» , is a selected measure of coffee,
ground and pressed between two filter papers
making it ready for use. This system makes it
easy for you to prepare your espresso because
you avoid the measurement and tamping
down operations and it also makes it easier
for you to clean the appliance.
We do not intend, or recommend, that
the ESE servings are used for making a
long coffee.
We recommend that you take care, when
handling and storing the ESE servings, that
they do not become deformed.
For best results, we recommend that you preheat the accessories (filter holder, filter and
cups) without any coffee. Do this as described
in the Making an Espresso using Espresso
Ground Coffee section.
. Preparing an espresso:
• Fill the water tank (1) (2) (3) and start the
appliance (4).

Tear excess paper from the pod at the
perforated edge. Place the ESE pod with the
RED MARKING FACE DOWN (bend the paper
corners down).
•Take care to put all the paper inside the filter
to avoid any drips.
Placing the ESE pod correctly will create a
richer, thicker crema.

appliance (4).
• Put the filter for one or two cups into the
filter holder (5).
• Put one or two measures of ground coffee
into the filter with the measuring spoon and
tamp down using the measuring spoon (11)
(12) or a ESE pod in the ESE filter (18).
• Remove any ground coffee which is lying
around the filter (13).
• Replace the filter holder (6) (7).

Descaling
Maintenance
- Never wash your espresso machine
accessories in the dishwasher.
After use, the water tank must be emptied.
. Drip tray
This must be emptied after using the
appliance after taking off the grid (19). If
several espressos are being prepared one after
the other, the drip tray should be emptied
from time to time (about once every 7 - 8
espressos). The presence of water is normal
and does not signify a leak. If necessary, clean
the drip tray and its grid with water and a
little non-abrasive washing-up liquid, rinse
and dry. Replace it correctly (20).
. The brewing head, the filter and the
filter holder
These must be cleaned after each use. All you
need to do is wipe a damp cloth over the
brewing head of your appliance and to wash
the other accessories in water and a little nonabrasive washing-up liquid, rinse and dry.
If the brewing head is heavily clogged up,
unscrew the grid, clean it and refit it, pressing
down firmly (21).
When your espresso is not being used, do not
leave the filter holder on the appliance to
prevent wear on the gasket.
. The cup warming plate: remove this to
clean it with water and a little non-abrasive
washing-up liquid, rinse and dry.
. The auto cappuccino accessory
For more thorough cleaning the auto cappuccino accessory can be dismantled from the
appliance.
Clean it with water, a little non-abrasive
washing-up liquid and a small brush. Rinse
and dry it before refitting it.
• Descaling of your espresso should be done
fairly frequently with citric or tartaric acid.
• Due to the acid substance, we recommend
protecting your your worktop and sink unit
during the descaling process, especially if it
is made of marble or stone. Isolate your
espresso with a tea towel, a tablecloth or a
tray.
However, we would advise you to use the
Krups descaling accessory, reference F054,
which is available from Krups after-sales
service centres. This accessory includes, apart
from two descaling doses, a testing strip for
water hardness to assess the frequency of
descaling of your appliance in normal use.
Descaling depends on the hardness of the
water, but also on the use cycle. The
frequency of descaling indicated by the F054
accessory is thus given by way of indication
only.
- Then follow the following method:
• Unscrew the grid from the head of the
appliance and clean it (21).
• Dissolve a sachet of KRUPS descaling
accessory, reference F054, in half a litre of
lukewarm water and pour the whole
amount into the empty water tank.
• start the appliance (4).
• Place a container, as large as possible,
beneath the auto cappuccino accessory.
• As soon as the blue operating control lamp
glows continuously, the appliance is ready
• Pressing the hot water button
through 1/3 of the liquid.
• Then, pressing the hot water button
to stop.
• Move the container under the brewing
head.
• Run the second third of the liquid
