USER MANUAL One Touch Cappuccino EA8808 KRUPS
CAUTION: the safety precautions are part of the appliance. Read them carefully before using your new appliance for the first time. Keep them in a place where you can find and refer to them later on.
Congratulations on purchasing your Espresso Automatic Series EA88. This appliance 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 new One Touch Cappuccino function allows you to make one or two cappuccinos or cafe lattes in no time at all to create drinks full of flavour.
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 appliance.
The Krups team
Here are some recommendations for making the most of your appliance 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 appliance.
- 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 grinding setting knob 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.

PREPARING DRINKS
Information on recipes
Depending on the recipe selected, your Espresso Automatic EA88 will automatically adjust the quantity of ground coffee.
Preparing the grinder
You can adjust the strength of your coffee by adjusting the size of the ground coffee beans. In general, the finer the coffee grounds, the stronger and creamier the coffee; however, this depends on the type of coffee used.
Adjust the size of the ground beans by turning the 'Coffee grinding setting' knob (N) on the bean tank. You are advised to do this during the grinding process and gradually. After three preparations, you will notice a very distinctive difference in taste.
The grinding setting is useful when you change coffee type or if you would like a stronger or weaker coffee. It is not recommended that you perform this setting systematically.
Preparing drinks: Espresso
This chapter explains how this appliance operates using the examples of the "Espresso" and "Americano" functions.
Preparing an espresso
Press the "Espresso" button.
If the appliance detects a lack of water when you request a recipe, it will ask you to fill the tank.
Place the cup(s) under the coffee spouts.
You can adjust the height of the coffee outlet depending on the size of your cup(s). Fig. 10.
Possible settings
The appliance lets you prepare one or two cups.
Selecting the strength: the more beans selected, the coarser the preparation. You can change the strength using the - and + buttons located to the left and right of the symbols. Press the "OK" button on the touch screen to launch the preparation.
The appliance grinds the beans, compacts the coffee grounds, and performs percolation.
It is possible to adjust the volume of coffee in preparation using the - and + buttons.
You can stop the preparation at any time by pressing "STOP". Caution: pressing stop causes an appliance resetting phase that can last up to 30 seconds. This is normal.
When a cycle is interrupted, the appliance does not stop immediately; the appliance will finish its cycle but the preparation will be cancelled.
Preparing an Americano
This drink was invented by the Americans, who, preferring filtered coffee, found the European espresso too intense. So, they began adding hot water to their espresso.
Select the "Americano" recipe on the screen. Place the cup(s) under the coffee nozzles.
You can change the height of the coffee nozzles to suit the size of your cup. Fig. 10.
You can change the quantity using the - and + buttons. Press the "OK" button on the touch screen to start the preparation.
You are still able to increase or decrease the amount of water for your drink during its preparation.
You can stop preparation at any time by pressing "STOP".
Warning: pressing stop begins the stop cycle which may last up to 30 seconds. This phase is normal.
! Caution! : Automatic rinsing of the coffee nozzle
Depending on the type of recipes prepared, the appliance may carry out an automatic rinsing operation when it is switched off.
The cycle lasts only a few seconds and will stop automatically.
Preparing other drinks:
THE "ONE TOUCH CAPPUCCINO" BLOCK
This "One Touch Cappuccino" block facilitates preparation of one or two cappuccinos or cafe lattes.
CAPPUCCINO/LATTE
- Preparing your appliance:
Connect the milk suction pipe on the left to the "One Touch Cappuccino" block. Place the other end in a container filled with milk (Fig. 11). You can prepare one or two cups with your appliance at the same time.
Position your cup or cups and set the button on the block to the desired position: cappuccino or latte (Fig. 12).
- Settings and making drinks
Press the "Cappuccino Latte" button (1 cup) or the "Cappuccino x 2" button (2 cups). All settings can be modified.
For each cappuccino, the machine will take into account the last recipe used.
Once the settings have been defined, press OK.
The steam is used to froth up the milk. As the production of steam requires a high temperature, the appliance has an additional pre-heating phase.
The following stages are automatically sequenced: frothing of the milk, grinding of the coffee and preparation of the coffee.
Your drink is ready for you to enjoy (Fig. 13).
FROTHED MILK
- Prepare your Appliance
Attach the milk suction pipe on the left-hand side of the "One Touch Cappuccino" block. Plunge the other end into a container filled with milk (Fig. 11).
Position the cup or cups and select cappuccino using the appliance's button. The steam is used to froth up the milk. As a higher temperature is required when producing steam than when making an espresso, the appliance will launch an additional pre-heating phase.
Select the Frothed Milk recipe on the screen. You can customise the frothing duration using the menu. You can change it using the + or - buttons, then press "OK". The latest frothing duration selection will be memorised for the next recipe.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Emptying the coffee grounds collector, coffee drawer and the drip tray
After a certain number of coffees, the machine will ask you to empty the coffee grounds collector and to clean the coffee drawer. Failure to perform these operations correctly can damage your appliance.
The drip tray collects the used water and the coffee grounds collector collects the used coffee grounds.
The coffee drawer allows you to remove any coffee grounds below the percolation chamber. If the message “Empty the two trays” is displayed, empty and clean the drip tray.
- Remove, empty and clean the coffee grounds collector. Fig. 14.
- Remove the coffee drawer.
Wait for at least 8 seconds, then first put the coffee drawer back in place and then the coffee grounds collector tray. Fig. 15.
The drip tray is equipped with a float indicating when it requires emptying.
The machine is programmed to ask for the drip tray to be emptied after a certain number of coffees, irrespective of the number of times you may have emptied the tray already.
Circuit rinsing
You can perform a rinse at any time by pressing Prog then maintenance. Depending on the types of recipes prepared, the appliance can perform an automatic rinse when switching off. It is also possible to set automatic rinsing on switch-on (see "Settings" section page 24).
Automatic clean programmes
Automatic clean programme for the coffee circuit
The appliance will tell you when a clean programme is required. This clean must take place every 360 preparations approximately.
To perform the clean programme, you will need a container with a capacity of at least 0.6 litre; this should be placed under the coffee outlets and you will need a KRUPS cleaning tablet.
Follow the instructions on-screen. It is also possible to launch cleaning via the maintenance menu.
Important: you do not have to perform the clean programme immediately when the appliance requests this; however, you should do this as soon as possible. If cleaning is delayed, an alert message will remain on the screen until the operation is performed.
The automatic clean programme includes two phases: a clean and a rinse cycle; the programme takes about 13 minutes.
Important: if you disconnect your appliance during cleaning or in the event of a power cut, the cleaning programme will resume the stage in progress during the incident. It will not be possible to delay this operation. It is mandatory due to water circuit rinse reasons. In this case, a new cleaning tablet may be required. Run the entire cleaning programme to eliminate all traces of cleaning product that may be harmful to health.
Do not place your hands under the coffee outlets during the cycle.
Cleaning the "one touch cappuccino" block
To carry out this cleaning programme, you will need two containers (minimum 600 ml) and some KRUPS cleaning liquid.
Turn the block button clockwise as far as it will go.
You can carry out the cleaning:
- By pressing the "Prog" button → "Maintenance" → "Block Cleaning". Follow the instructions on the screen.
Dismantling the "one touch cappuccino" block
In addition to rinsing, it is necessary to clean the block after each use.
To dismantle the block, follow these instructions:
1 - Remove the plastic connection pipe from the block (Fig. 16). 2 - Press the button located above the block, which detaches it and allows you to slide it down to unhook it (Fig. 17). 3 - Remove the settings button (Fig. 18). 4 - Remove the milk/water nozzle; the engraved arrow indicates the disassembly direction (Fig. 19). To ensure this part is cleaned thoroughly, you should also remove the lid (Fig. 20). 5 - Remove the black plastic casing from the shell (Fig. 21). Remove the metal part located above the black plastic casing (Fig. 22). To clean this part thoroughly, rinse the flexible area while pinching it (Fig. 23); leave it to soak in hot water and some washing up liquid, then rinse.
The block is now completely dismantled (Fig. 24).
Once the parts have been washed and dried, put them back into place, and fit the block back onto the machine (Fig. 25).
Automatic descale programme for the steam circuit
Caution: if your appliance is fitted with our Claris - Aqua Filter System cartridge, please remove this before descaling.
The appliance will tell you when the descale programme is required. The frequency at which this programme needs to be run depends on the quality of the water used and whether the Claris Aqua Filter System filter is used or not (the more limescale in the water, the more descaling is required).
Important: you do not have to perform the descale programme immediately when the appliance requests this; however, you should do this as soon as possible. If descaling is delayed, an alert message will remain on the screen until the operation is performed.
Follow the instructions on-screen. It is also possible to launch descaling via the maintenance menu.
To carry out this descaling programme, you will need a container that can hold at least 0.6 litre, which must be placed under the One Touch Cappuccino block, and a sachet of KRUPS descaling agent (40 g).
The automatic descale programme includes three phases: one descaling cycle and two rinse cycles. The programme lasts approximately 20 min.
Important: if there is a power cut or you disconnect your appliance, the cycle will relaunch the stage in progress when the incident occurred; this operation cannot be delayed. Make sure the entire cycle is completed to remove any traces of descaling product that may be hazardous to your health.
