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.
21
XP2070 anglais.P65 7/11/05, 12:3221
• 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.

Using the various functions of
your espresso maker
1. MAKING ESPRESSO
The appliance will pre-brew the coffee before
making each cup in order to bring out the full
flavour for a satisfying cup of coffee. The
pump will work for 3 seconds, stop for 3
seconds, then continue with the cycle until
the end of the process.
23
XP2070 anglais.P65 7/11/05, 12:3223
. WITH GROUND COFFEE
For best results, we recommend that you first
pre-heat the accessories (filter holder, filters
and cups) without putting in ground
coffee. To do this:
• Fill the water container with fresh, cold
water (1) (2) (3) and turn on the machine
(4).
• Put the filter holder and an empty filter in
place (6) (7), and place the espresso cups
underneath.
• As soon as the coffee selection buttons
begin to glow continuously, the machine is
ready to operate.
• Choose the 1 or 2 cup mode, by pressing
, or (9) (10) once or twice on the
espresso selection button (O). Take the prebrewing into account.
• The cups will fill with hot water. Once filled,
empty them.
After making your first espresso and the
machine is warmed, the espresso cups can
then be pre-heated on the cup warming plate.
. Preparing an espresso:
• Fill the water container (1) (2) (3) and turn
on the machine (4).
• Put the filter for one or two cups into the
filter holder (5).
• Place some ground coffee in the filter (1 or 2
measuring scoops), and then tamp it down
firmly; the coffee should reach the lip of the
filter (11) (12).
• Remove any ground coffee which is lying
around the filter (13).
• Replace the filter holder into the machine.
Turn the filter holder until it is firmly locked
into place (6) (7).
• Place one or two espresso cups beneath the
filter holder’s coffee outlets.
As soon as the coffee selection buttons begin
to glow continuously, the machine is ready to
operate.
Your machine is already preprogrammed for
the preparation of one or two cups of
espresso.
• Select the desired coffee quantity by
pressing the button (O) once
or
twice (9) (10). Take the pre-brewing into
account.
24
• When the programmed quantity is reached,
espresso stops running automatically (see
programming your machine).
• Remove the filter holder and the filter from
the machine and take out the coffee
grounds (14).
The filter can be refilled to make more
espressos.
Caution: if the water container is empty
and the pump is running, you will hear a
very distinct noise, which is louder than
the normal operating sound. If this
happens, press the start/stop switch (4).
Check the water container and refill as
needed.
Never let the machine run when the
water container is empty as this can
damage the pump.
.
USING THE SPECIAL “ E.S.E. “ 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.
“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 E.S.E. servings be used for making
more then one single serving or a “long
espresso”.
We recommend that you take care when
handling and storing the E.S.E. pre-portioned
pods so that they do not become deformed.
For best results, we recommend that you preheat the accessories (filter holder, filter basket
and cups) without any coffee. To do this, see
section entitled “Espresso Making” above.
. Preparing an espresso:
• Fill the water tank (1) (2) (3) and turn on the
machine (4).
Positioning the E.S.E. pod (18).
Tear excess paper from pod at perforated
edge. Place the E.S.E. pod with the RED
MARKING FACE DOWN (bend the paper
corners down) in the E.S.E. filter holder fitted
with its own filter.
XP2070 anglais.P65 7/11/05, 12:3224
• Take care to put all the paper inside the
filter or you may get some drips.
Placing the E.S.E. pod correctly will create a
richer, thicker crema.
Locking the handle tightly and properly will
also help avoid leakage from the filter holder
and ensure a better brewing cycle.
Place the filter holder inside the brewing head
and firmly turn the handle as far right as
possible (6) (7) (8).
As soon as the coffee selection buttons
commence to glow continuously, the machine
is ready to operate.
• Press the espresso selection button (O)
once (9). Take the pre-brewing into account.
• When the recommended quantity of coffee
has been reached the appliance will stop
automatically. You can stop your machine at
any time by pressing the coffee selection
button
(9) again.
• Remove the filter holder from the brewing
head and throw away the used coffee pod.
2. PROGRAMMING YOUR MACHINE:
Should you wish to alter the preprogrammed
quantity (50ml per cup, default setting) of
espresso filled into one or two cups, proceed
as follows:
• Fill the water container (1) (2) (3) and turn
on the machine (4).
• Put the filter for one or two cups into the
filter holder (5).
• Place some ground coffee in the filter (1 or 2
measuring scoops), and then tamp it down
firmly; the coffee should reach the lip of the
filter (11) (12) or a E.S.E. pod in the E.S.E.
filter (18).
• Remove any ground coffee which is lying
around the filter (13).
• Replace the filter holder (6) (7).
• Place one or two cups beneath the filter
holder’s coffee outlets.
As soon as the coffee selection buttons
begin to glow continuously, the machine is
ready to operate.

• When you reach the desired quantity of
coffee, stop the appliance by pressing the
espresso selection button (O) or (S2).
The quantity that just ran through into your
cup is now automatically programmed into
the machine.
3. STEAM FUNCTION
The thumping noise which occurs while steam
is being produced comes from the intermittent regulation of the pump and has no effect
on the proper working of the machine.
If you wish to make an espresso
immediately after using the steam
function, the appliance must first be allowed
to cool down in order to achieve the correct
temperature for preparing an espresso.
• As soon as you interrupt the steam cycle, the
appliance will cool down automatically by
launching an intermittent pump cycle for
40seconds. The cold water pumped through
will cool down the heating system. During
the cool down phase, the blue start/stop
operating control light blinks and the hot
water flows into the drip tray. When the
correct temperature is reached, the
appliance is ready.
Caution: during and after use, the metal
parts of the nozzle (E) and the cappuccino
accessory (F) are very hot.
. Using the Cappuccino accessory (F)
The cappuccino accessory makes it easy to
produce hot milk or frothy milk for making a
cappuccino, latte or hot chocolate, for
example.
It is preferable to use very cold, very fresh,
milk (kept in the refrigerator).
• Fill the water container with fresh, cold
water (1) (2) (3) and turn on the machine
(4).
• Put the cappuccino accessory in place on the
steam nozzle.
• Place a cup under the cappuccino accessory.
• Pour about 100 ml of cold milk into a

Recipes
Savour your espresso just as you like it: when
you want to relax or to round off a good
meal.
Here are a few recipes which you will be able
to create with your espresso maker.
. Original espresso
• Take one measuring spoonful of good
quality well roasted espresso coffee, and run
it directly into the pre-heated cup.
/
If you use good, finely ground coffee, the cup
will be crowned by a fine head of froth.
• Add sugar if desired and treat yourself.
Original espresso is drunk without milk but
plenty of sugar.
. Cappuccino
For a state of the art cappuccino, the ideal
quantities are as follows: 1/3 coffee, 1/3 hot
milk, 1/3 milk froth. The quantity of hot milk
+ froth obtained should be about double the
amount of coffee prepared.
• Use large cups which have been pre-heated.
• Fill them with coffee to the equivalent of
one cup of espresso and top up with milk
which has been frothed up using the
cappuccino accessory.
• Lastly, sprinkle with drinking chocolate
powder.
. Café crème
• Prepare a classic espresso in a large cup.
XP2070 anglais.P65 7/11/05, 12:3226
• Add a cloud of cream to make an espresso
with milk.
You can also replace the cream with hot milk.
. Caffe corretto *
• Prepare a cup of espresso in the normal way.
• Then slightly ‘correct’ the taste by adding
1/4 or 1/2 a glass of cognac.
You can also use anisette, grappa, Sambuco,
Kirsch or Cointreau for the same effect.
. Coffee Liqueur *
• Mix in an empty 0.75 litre bottle: 3 cups of
espresso, 250 g brown cane sugar, 1/2 litre
cognac or Kirsch.
• Leave the mixture to soak for at least 2
weeks.
You will then have a delicious liqueur,
especially for coffee lovers.
. Iced coffee à l’italienne
4 vanilla ice cubes, 2 cups of cold sugared
espresso, 1/8 litre milk, fresh cream, grated
chocolate.
• Mix the cold espresso with milk.
• Distribute the ice cubes among the glasses,
pour the coffee over them and decorate
with fresh cream and grated chocolate.
. Friesian coffee *
• Add a small glass of rum to a sugared cup of
espresso.
• Decorate with a good layer of fresh cream
and serve.
. Espresso flambé *
2 cups of espresso, 2 small glasses of cognac,
2 teaspoonfuls of brown sugar, fresh cream.
• Pour the cognac into heat-resistant glasses,
heat and flame.
• Add sugar, mix, pour the coffee and
decorate with fresh cream.
If you like, the espresso can also be diluted
with a little boiling water.
. Perfect espresso *
2 cups of espresso, 6 egg yolks, 200g sugar,
1/8 litre whipped fresh cream, 1 small glass of
orange liqueur.
• Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until it
forms a thick foamy mass.
• Add the cold espresso and orange liqueur.
• Then mix in the fresh whipped cream.
• Pour the mixture into cups or glasses.
• Put the cups into the freezer.
(*: The abuse of alcohol is dangerous to your
health).
Cleaning the machine
- Never wash your espresso maker accessories
in the dishwasher.
After use, the water tank must be emptied.
. Drip tray
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) (19). It is normal for there to
be water present; this does not indicate
that there is a leak, but that your
machine’s thermoblock is being purged. If
necessary, clean the drip tray and drip tray
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 with a damp cloth over the
brewing head of your machine 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 maker is not being
used, do not leave the filter holder on the
machine as it will cause unnecessary wear
of the gasket.
. The cup warming plate: remove this to
clean it with water and a little non-abrasive
dishwashing liquid, rinse and dry.
. The cappuccino accessory
For more thorough cleaning the auto cappuccino accessory can be dismantled from the
machine.
Clean it with water, a little non-abrasive
washing up liquid and a small brush. Rinse
and dry it.
Before putting it back in place, make sure that
the air inlet holes (on both sides of the little
metal tube) are not blocked by residues of
milk. Unblock them with a needle if necessary
(22).

Making coffee

stagnate in the air), that it does not smell of
chlorine and that it is at a fairly cold
temperature.
We recommend that you filter your water
using a Krups Duo Filter cartridge,
reference XS 1000.
• Follow the illustrations from 23 to 29.
• Use only cold water and a N° 4 filter paper
or a permanent filter.
• The coffee maker is fitted with a drip-stop
device, allowing you to serve coffee before
the water has finished running through.
Replace the jug quickly to avoid overflow.
• Do not exceed the maximum capacity of the
water tank as shown by the water level
indicator (e).

flavour selector (h) (according to model):
