WELCOME

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing this Krups Espresseria Automatic espresso
machine. We are confident you will enjoy the versatility of this machine as well as the
convenience. Should you have any questions, please contact one of our specially trained

ENGLISH
consumer service managers. They are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to
6:30 pm (EST) at 1-866-668-0325 for the US, and Monday through Friday from 8:30 am
to 4:30 pm (EST) at 1-800-418-3325 for Canada.

We strongly recommend that you register this product as quickly as possible to ensure
that the warranty program is validated. Please complete your respective countries enclo-
sed registration card or for the USA register online at www.krupsusa.com.

Enclosed in this box is the Krups VIP Exclusive Service Kit. Within this kit, we have
included everything you need to get started. Each kit contains 1 packet of descaling
powder, 2 cleaning tablets, water hardness testing strip, a full color instruction manual,
and 1 Claris water filter.

USING OILY BEANS

There are a variety of coffee and espresso beans available in the market today.
Some beans have a very dry roast while others can be quite oily. Oily beans may clump
together, which could disrupt the flow of coffee into the grinder. The lack of a continuous
flow of beans into the grinder can cause a weak or even no coffee at all. To ensure optimal

FRANÇAIS
results when using oily beans, simply stir the beans in the coffee hopper just prior to using
your machine.
If you freeze your beans (we do not recommend this type of storage, but rather keeping
your beans in an airtight container in a cool dark place), please ensure you allow at least 4
hours for them to thaw before adding to the coffee bean hopper. Allowing frozen beans to
properly thaw will prevent unnecessary moisture from entering into the grinder. Also, never
use flavoured or other sugar-coated beans as they will stick to the burrs and clog your
machine.
RECIPES

• Cappuccino
For a cappuccino, the ideal proportions are as follows:
1/3 steamed milk, 1/3 espresso, 1/3 milk froth.

• Caffe Latte
To make coffee with milk, also often called Latte Macchiato,
ESPAÑOL

the proportions are as follows: 3/5 steamed milk, 1/5 espresso, 1/5 milk froth.

For these milk-based preparations, it is best to use cold 1 or 2% milk

milk straight from the refrigerator (ideally between 42.8° F/6° C and 46.4° F/10° C).

LIMITS TO USE
This Espresseria Automatic machine must only be used to prepare espresso, coffee, and
froth milk. This product has been designed for household use only. Any commercial or pro-
fessional use, inappropriate use or failure to comply with the instructions will void the war-
ranty.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before turning on your Espresseria for the first time after you have set it up, please place a container under the coffee outlets
and the steam nozzle. When you turn the machine on, it will automatically commence an initial rinsing cycle from the coffee
outlets and the steam nozzle.

MEASURING WATER HARDNESS

Before using the machine for the first time or if you have noted a change in water hardness, it is advisable to adapt the
machine to the water hardness. To determine the water hardness, use the measuring stick delivered with your machine or get
in contact with your water authority.

CLARIS - AQUA FILTER SYSTEM CARTRIDGE F 088

To optimize the taste of your coffee and the lifetime of your machine, we recommend you to use the Claris - Aqua Filter
System cartridge enclosed with this machine. The filter system consists of an anti-scale substance and active carbon which
reduces the chlorine, impurities, lead, copper and pesticides that may be present in the water. The minerals and trace ele-
ments in the water, however, are preserved.

F088
By filtering the water with the
the Claris - Aqua Filter System
cartridge, you can reduce:
carbonate hardness up to75%,
chlorine up to 85%,
lead up to 90%,
copper up to 95%,
aluminium up to 67%.*
Mechanism which allows
you to set the date that
the cartridge was instal-
led and last changed for
reference in the future.
To install the water filter,
simply screw it into the
bottom of the water tank
using the spanner provi-
ded.
Place a receptacle under
the steam nozzle. Run
300 ml/10 oz of water by
pressing down on the
rinse button for at least
3 seconds.You can
repeat this operation if
you wish.

The Claris cartridge needs to be replaced approximately every 50 litres of water or a minimum every two
months.

the water tank is not in place or not correctly filled (under the “min.” level,), the “fill water tank” light will come on.
This machine will not operate when the water tank is empty.

NEVER PUT GROUND COFFEE IN THE COFFEE CONTAINER.

We do not recommend the use of oily or sugar coated or flavored espresso/coffee beans. These types of beans may
damage the machine.

Check that the coffee beans do not contain any foreign particles such as grit, as any damage caused by the
presence of foreign particles will void the warranty. Do not put water into the coffee bean container.
Remember to fit the drip tray to avoid waste water flowing onto the work surface and staining it or scalding you.
Be sure that the drip tray is properly installed to avoid overflow. Be sure you water tank is clean.

PREPARING ESPRESSO AND PRESSURE BREWED COFFEE

With a simple touch of a button, you can prepare 4 types of beverages: espresso, a strong espresso, coffee and long coffee.
Amount of water
Espresso 20 - 70 ml/0.7 - 2.4 oz

ENGLISH
Strong espresso 20 - 70 ml/0.7 - 2.4 oz
Coffee 80 - 120 ml/2.7 - 4.0 oz
Long coffee 120 - 220 ml/4.0 - 7.4 oz

YOUR MACHINE IS DESIGNED TO MAKE COFFEE AND ESPRESSO FROM COFFEE BEANS ONLY.
DO NOT USE OILY OR SUGAR COATED ESPRESSO / COFFEE BEANS.
When you first make coffee with the machine, or after a prolonged period of non-use, or a cleaning
or descaling procedure, a little steam and hot water will come out of the steam nozzle (priming).

Splashing or scalding may occur if the coffee outlets are set too high in relation to the size of the cups.

When the machine is plugged in, an inintializing cycle is processed. Press the “On/Off” button. The light will flash while the
machine heats up. When the light goes solid, your machine is ready.

Please note : The ground coffee is first moistened with a little hot water after the grinding stage. This is called
“pre-brewing” and it optimizes the brewing process by ensuring that the grounds are evenly wet.
A few moments later, the full brewing cycle begins. To get a stronger long coffee, we recommend to divide
by 2 the volume you wish and make run 2 cycles, e.g. 2 times 70 ml/2.4 oz to get a 140 ml/4 oz coffee.

DO NOT TAKE OFF THE WATER TANK BEFORE THE END OF THE CYCLE (i.e. 15 sec. after coffee stops flowing).

USING STEAM
Steam is used to froth milk (for cappuccino / latte) but can also be used to reheat other liquids. As you
need a higher temperature to produce steam than to make an espresso, the machine runs an additional
pre-heating phase for steam.
Press the button.
The light will flash while the machine heats up.
Once the pre-heating phase has been completed, the light will remain on continuously and you can start
producing steam by again pressing the button.
A little water will be produced first and then steam will start. Press the same button to stop steam generation.

Caution, steam cycle does not stop immediately.

FROTHING MILK
We recommend that you use pasteurised 1 or 2% milk. The milk should be quite cold, ideally between
42° F and 50° F (6 and 10° C). After having used the steam or hot water functions, the nozzle may be
hot, and we recommend that you wait for a few moments before handling it.
