Safety recommendations
• Please read these instructions carefully
before first using your espresso.The
appliance must only be connected to the
mains via an earthed plug. Check that the
voltage shown on the appliance’s indicator
plate corresponds to that of your electricity
supply. 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 tray and
the drip tray grid are not in position.
• Disconnect the electricity if there is any
problem while the coffee is brewing or prior
to cleaning your appliance.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on
the cord and never lay the cord across a
sharp edge or the corner of an item of
furniture.
• Do not allow the cord or your hands to
come into contact with the hot parts of the
appliance (cup warming plate, filter holder,
steam nozzle, cappuccino accessory).
• Never immerse the appliance in water.
• Keep away from children and do not allow
the cord to hang down.
• Follow the instructions given for descaling.
• Never start the machine if it is damaged or
not operating correctly or if the cord is in
poor condition.
• If the cord or any other specific part
becomes defective, these can only be
replaced by a Krups approved service centre.
You must never, under any circumstances,
open the appliance yourself, in order to
avoid any danger.

• Check that the filter holder is firmly in
position before starting the coffee and stop
the espresso function before releasing the
filter holder.
• Do not leave the appliance in the reach of
unsupervised children - young children and
severely handicapped persons must only use
the appliance under the supervision of a
responsible adult.
• This product has been designed for domestic
use only. Any commercial use, inappropriate
use or failure to comply with the instructions, the manufacturer accepts no
responsibility and the guarantee will not
apply.
• 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.
Let the appliance cool down before refilling
the tank.
• If you are unable to use the filter cartridges
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.
22
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, overextracted 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
maker has been intuitively designed for easy
use and built for the long term.
