Dear customer,
Congratulations on purchasing your Espresso Automatic Series EA84XX. This machine
allows you to prepare a wide variety of drinks, including espressos, coffees or ristrettos,
totally automatically. You can also prepare milk drinks such as cappuccinos. It is designed
to allow you to enjoy restaurant quality coffee at home, whatever the time of day or day of
the week. You will appreciate both the quality of the coffee produced as well as the ease of
use. You can choose the volume, strength and temperature of your drinks.
The Compact Thermoblock System with integrated percolation chamber, 15 bar pump and
coffee granules that are freshly ground just before extraction, allows you to make ristrettos,
espressos and coffees that are hot right from the first cup with maximum flavour and
covered in a chamois coloured cream.
The hot water function also allows you to prepare teas and other drinks at an instant.
Espressos are traditionally served in small porcelain cups that widen at the top, releasing
all of the coffee’s aromas. To obtain an espresso with the perfect temperature and with a
small cream, we recommend heating the cups beforehand.
It will probably take several attempts before you find the coffee beans you prefer. By
changing the mixture and/or roasting process, you will soon achieve the ideal result.
Espressos are more aromatic than a classic filter coffee. Despite its more distinct taste,
which is very evident in the mouth and more persistent, an espresso contains less caffeine
than a filter coffee (approximately 60 to 80 mg per cup compared to 80 to 100 mg per cup);
this is due to shorter percolation time.
The quality of the water used is also a determining factor in terms of the quality of the drink
achieved. Ideally, use water straight from the tap (so that it has not had time to stagnate on
contact with the air); the water should also be free from any chloride odours and it should
be cold.
The ergonomic and comfortable colour touch screen will help you navigate through the
programmes. It will guide you through the stages, from preparing your drink to maintenance
operations.
We hope you enjoy using your Krups machine.

Here are some recommendations for making the most of your machine and producing
quality coffees:
• The quality of the water has a huge impact on the quality of the aromas. Limescale and
chlorine can alter the taste of your coffee. We recommend that you use the Claris Aqua
Filter System cartridge, or slightly mineralised water to preserve all the aromas of your
coffee.
• To prepare ristretto, espresso and coffee recipes, we recommend that you use pre-heated
(by running under hot water) tulip shaped porcelain cups, which are the correct size for
the size of drink you want. For your cappuccino, latte and hot milk recipes, we recommend
that you use thick glass cups for a delicious result.
• Roasted coffee beans can lose their flavour if they are not protected. We recommend that
you use the quantity of beans required for the next four to five days. The quality of coffee
beans varies and whether you like them or not is a matter of personal taste; however, we
recommend that you use arabica rather than robusta coffee beans. It will probably take
several attempts to find the coffee beans that you prefer.
Finally, we recommend that you do not use oily or caramelised beans, which can damage
the machine.
• The quality and fineness of the ground beans will affect the aromas and quality of the
cream. The finer the ground beans the creamier the cream. The grounding should be
adjusted to the drink desired: fine for ristretto and espresso and coarser for coffee.
• You can use pasteurised or UHT milk, skimmed, semi-skimmed or whole milk, straight
from the fridge (7°C). The use of special milks (microfiltered, unpasteurised, fermented,
enriched, etc.) can produce less satisfactory results, in particular in terms of the quality
of the froth and these are therefore not recommended.
This appliance is covered by a two year manufacturer's guarantee. Please refer to the
guarantee document for details on the guarantee terms and conditions in your country.
