USER MANUAL INTUITION KRUPS
Thank you for purchasing your KRUPS espresso machine with bean grinder. Designed and manufactured in France to give you "cafe" quality drinks with the greatest ease, your KRUPS machine makes Espresso, Ristretto, and Lungo, and you can also manually make milk froth to create other milk-based drinks: Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato, Café Latte, etc. KRUPS has developed intuitive warning lights to make life easier. They will guide you in the use of your machine and brighten up your coffee breaks.
Your KRUPS espresso machine is equipped with advanced technologies and an intuitive touchscreen interface; in order to obtain the best extraction possible with total ease, to reveal maximum aromas and flavours from the freshly ground coffee.
Because not all coffees are the same, you can customise your drinks:
- By changing the coffee beans (different origins or roasts), you can discover different flavours. You will probably need to taste several different types to find the coffee beans that suit your tastes.
- By varying the grinding fineness you can obtain coffee that is more or less full-bodied.
- By choosing your shot length and coffee strength, you'll always achieve the perfect cup.
We wish you a great coffee experience and hope that you are completely satisfied with your KRUPS machine.

Advice and Tips
- The quality of the water strongly influences the quality of the flavours. Limescale and chlorine can alter the taste of coffee. We recommend that you use the Claris Aqua Filter System cartridge, or bottled water with a dry residue content lower than 800 mg/L (look at the label on the bottle), in order to preserve the flavours of your coffee.
- When preparing drinks we recommend using preheated cups (by passing them under hot water), their size adapted to your desired quantity.
- The roasted coffee beans can lose their flavour if they are not protected. We advise you to use the amount of beans equivalent to your consumption over the coming 2-3 days and to choose 250g bags.
- The quality of the coffee beans is variable and tastes are subjective. Arabica will give you delicate, floral flavours, unlike Robusta, which is higher in caffeine, more bitter and full-bodied. It is common to mix the two types of coffee to get a more balanced coffee. Please do not hesitate to seek advice from your roaster.
- We do not recommend the use of oily and caramelised beans as these can damage the machine.
- The fineness of the ground beans influences the strength of the flavors and the quality of the crema. The more finely ground the beans, the smoother the crema. Grinding can also be adapted for the desired drink.
Read the instruction manual carefully before you use your appliance for the first time and keep it for future reference: improper use will release KRUPS from any liability. It is important to respect the safety information.

GETTING STARTED INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
Switching on and preparing the machine
Danger:
Connect the appliance to a grounded 230 V socket. Otherwise, you expose yourself to fatal injuries due to the presence of electricity!
Respect the safety information in the "Safety information" leaflet.
Priming the machine allows the water circuits to be filled, so that the machine can operate.
Preheating and automatic rinsing will take place.
For more information, refer to section 1 - 1ST USE, fig 1 to 14.
Once the machine is switched on, it automatically switches to a default drink selection.
You can make your first coffee!
GRINDER: ADJUSTING THE GRINDING FINENESS
You can adjust the strength of your coffee by adjusting the grinding fineness of the coffee beans.
Varying the fineness of the grinding enables you to adapt to the different types of bean: a highly roasted and rather oily bean will require a coarse grinding while a more lightly roasted bean will be drier and will require a finer grinding. The finer the grinding, the more powerful the flavour.
Turn the setting button located in the bean container (l), depending on your bean type and the strength of the desired flavour. This adjustment must be performed during grinding and notch by notch. After 3 preparations you will notice a very distinct difference in taste.
Adjusting the coffee output
For all drink types you can raise or lower the coffee outputs according to the size of your cup(s). Refer to section 2 - BEVERAGE SETTINGS, fig 7.

DRINKS MADE USING STEAM
The steam nozzle (G) foams the milk to make a Cappuccino or Café Latte. As the steam production requires a higher temperature than for making an espresso, the appliance provides an additional preheating phase for the steam.
For manual milk foaming, use pasteurised or UHT milk from the refrigerator (3-5°C). The use of special milks (micro filtered, raw, fermented, enriched) or plant milks (rice, oat or almond milk) can give results that are less satisfactory in terms of quality and quantity of froth. It is not possible to make 2 cups at the same time: the "x2" function is not available.
The steps for making this drink with steam can be found in section 5 - MAKE A MILK RECIPE, fig 1 to 11.
Please note:
There are 2 preheating times: one for the machine and one for the steam. The LED flashes to indicate that the machine has finished preheating. Press "START/STOP" again to start steam production. See section 5 - MAKE A MILK RECIPE, fig 8.
Caution: risk of burns.
Important:
Steam production stops automatically depending on the steam time selected previously. You can press "START/STOP" before the end of the cycle if the amount of milk froth is sufficient.
THE CYCLE DOES NOT STOP IMMEDIATELY.
If you do not press the "START/STOP" button, the machine returns to its initial position after 2 minutes.
- The Favourites program is available for the steam function.
Advice and Tips:
To make the milk froth, fill 1/3 of the cup with milk. Immerse the steam nozzle in the milk and hold it against the edge of the cup. Tilt the cup 45 degrees. This technique creates a milk whirlpool, which makes the optimal amount of foam. By following these tips, you will create a barista-quality milk froth ready to be used to make a milky drink.
CLEANING THE STEAM NOZZLE
Important:
In order to obtain identical froth each time, we recommend that you carefully clean the tube and its connector AFTER EACH USE. Do not wash the steam nozzle in the dishwasher. It is recommended to clean the steam nozzle when not used for a longer period (more than 2 days).
Danger:
After using the steam function, the nozzle may be hot, we advise you to wait a few moments before handling it.
- The steam nozzle can be removed for deep cleaning. Wash it with water and some non-abrasive washing up liquid with a brush. The steps for cleaning the steam nozzle can be found in section 6 - CLEAN YOUR STEAM NOZZLE, Fig 1 to 8.
- To remove any traces of milk from the steam nozzle, place a container under the nozzle and launch a hot water drink. Then, take a clean, damp microfibre cloth and wipe the nozzle.
- If steam does not come out, the nozzle may be clogged: unclog with the needle supplied. See section 6-CLEAN YOUR STEAM NOZZLE, Fig 4 and 5.
HOT WATER DRINKS
- Place the cup under the STEAM NOZZLE (G).
- You can adjust the volume of the drink according to your preference. However, it is not possible to make 2 cups at the same time: the "x2" function is not available.
- Press STOP. The machine preheats (the lights flash), then the hot water starts to flow.

STEAM PREPARATION
PROBLEMS AND REMEDIES
Dear Customer,
Thank you for purchasing the automatic coffee machine with built-in grinder from KRUPS. This device, designed and manufactured in France, allows you to prepare drinks that are not inferior in quality to professionally brewed coffee, but with much less effort. With the KRUPS device, you can enjoy espresso, ristretto, lungo, as well as obtain a milk froth for preparing milk-based drinks: cappuccino, latte macchiato, latte, etc.
To facilitate interaction with the device, KRUPS has developed intuitive light signals. They help you use the device, informing you about the status of coffee preparation.
The automatic coffee machine KRUPS was created using modern technologies and is equipped with an intuitive touch interface, thanks to which you can easily get drinks filled with the full range of flavors and aromas of freshly ground coffee beans.
Since coffee drinks are not alike, you can make your coffee individual:
- By using different types of coffee beans (different blends or roasting levels), you can discover different coffee flavors. You will probably not be able to choose coffee beans to your taste the first time.
- By changing the grinding level, you can get a more or less intense coffee.
- By choosing the height and strength of the coffee, you will find your ideal option.
We wish you many pleasant coffee moments and hope that the KRUPS device will give you unforgettable pleasure.
The KRUPS team
It is recommended to let it dry in the air after installation.
Rinsing the coffee circuit
The appliance requires regular maintenance, except for cleaning.
Place a container under the nozzle.
- Start the appliance and press the button.
CLEAN
Select the cleaning function.
Press the start cleaning button.
For hygienic reasons, it is recommended to rinse the coffee brewing system daily or in case it has not been used for a long time (more than 2 days).
This function can be performed automatically during appliance startup. For more details, see the section "Other Functions".
The program automatically cleans the entire appliance 3 times a year (approx. 13 minutes).
To preserve the best taste and aroma of coffee and for hygienic reasons, it is recommended to clean the coffee brewing system 3 times a year.
When to perform the procedure?
The appliance will indicate the need to run the descaling program. Descaling removes limescale and ensures proper operation and extends the service life of the appliance. This step is very important for proper operation and long service life of the appliance.
Limescale. When starting the appliance, the "Attention!" indicator and the indicator on the sensor line light up. See section 12 - DESCALING PROGRAM, fig. 1 - 30.
Important!
The appliance will notify you of the need to perform descaling. However, you can start the descaling cycle at any time by pressing the CLEAN button and selecting
Important recommendations
- The taste of coffee is strongly influenced by the quality of the finished drink. Scale and chlorine can change the taste of coffee. We recommend using cartridge filters Claris Aqua Filter System or water with mineralization of 800 mg/l (see label on the packaging) to preserve the true aroma of coffee. - To prepare the drink, we recommend using pre-heated cups (rinsed with hot water), the size of which corresponds to the selected quantity.
- Roasted coffee beans may lose their aroma if stored improperly. We recommend using the amount of beans that matches your consumption over the next 2-3 days, and prefer packaging of 250 g. - The quality of coffee beans varies and is assessed subjectively. Arabica has a subtle coffee aroma, unlike Robusta, which contains more caffeine and has a more bitter and intense taste. These varieties are often mixed to obtain a more balanced coffee. Please contact your coffee seller for advice.
- We do not recommend using oils and caramelized beans, which can damage the coffee machine.

To always obtain frothy milk, it is recommended to thoroughly rinse the milk tube and steam wand after each use of the milk-based beverage preparation program. Do not put the steam wand in the dishwasher. It is recommended to clean the steam wand opening if it has not been used for a long time (more than 2 days).
Before using the steam nozzle for the first time, it may need to be rinsed for a few minutes before touching it.
- The steam nozzle can be removed for thorough cleaning. Rinse it with a small amount of mild detergent using a brush. For detailed information on how to clean the steam nozzle, see section 6 - Cleaning the steam nozzle, pages 1-8.

COFFEE GRINDER: ADJUSTING THE GRINDING LEVEL
You can adjust the strength of your coffee by setting the grinding level of the coffee beans.
The grinding level options allow you to adapt to different types of coffee beans: dark roasted beans require a coarser grind, and conversely, lighter roasted beans are drier and require a finer grind. The finer the coffee is ground, the stronger the aroma.
Turn the adjustment knob, located on top of the coffee bean container (I), according to the coffee beans and the desired aroma intensity. This adjustment should be made gradually, step by step. Only after 3 preparations will you notice a difference in taste.
Adjusting the coffee spouts
For each cup, depending on the size of your cup(s), raise or lower the coffee spouts. Refer to Chapter 2 - ADJUSTING THE SPOUTS, Fig. 7.
Stopping the drink during preparation

DRINKS PREPARED WITH MILK
The milk frother (G) is used to froth milk for preparing, for example, cappuccino. Since the production of froth requires a higher temperature than that for preparing espresso, the device ensures a phase of additional preheating for the frother.
For frothing milk in the best way for preference, use pasteurized milk taken from the refrigerator (3 - 5°C) without prior treatment. The use of special milk (microfiltered, raw, fermented, organic) or milk of plant origin (soy, oat, almond milk) can lead to unsatisfactory results in terms of the quality and quantity of the froth.
It is not possible to prepare 2 cups at the same time: consequently the function "x2" is not available.
For more detailed information about the stages of preparing recipes with milk, see Chapter 5 - PREPARING MILK RECIPES, fig. 1 to 11.
Attention: To set the pre-steaming interval: press the machine button and the steam button. The light will flash to indicate that the machine is heating up. Press the START/STOP button to release the steam generator. See Chapter 5 - PREPARING THE MILK FROTH, fig. 8.
Warning: risk of burns.
Important:
The steam generator will stop automatically after the pre-selected time. You can press the START/STOP button before the end of the program if the amount of frothed milk is sufficient, and the steam generator will stop.
STOPPING THE PROGRAM IS NOT IMMEDIATE.
If you press the START/STOP button during the 2 minutes, the machine will return to the initial state.
- The pre-set delay is sufficient for the steam function.
Tips:
When preparing milk froth, fill the jug to 1/3 with milk. Place the steam nozzle into the milk and apply it to the surface of the milk. Tilt the jug at an angle of 45 degrees. This technique allows the milk to swirl and in this way you get optimal frothing. Follow these tips to get milk froth suitable for a barista and ready for use in preparing a milk-based drink.
CLEANING THE STEAM NOZZLE
Important:
To ensure consistent quality of the steam every time, we recommend that you carefully clean the nozzle and the tip after each use. Do not put the steam nozzle in the dishwasher. It is essential to clean the steam nozzle when it is not used for a longer period of time (more than 2 days).
Danger:
After using the steam function, the nozzle may be hot. We recommend that you wait a few minutes before handling it.
The steam nozzle is demonstrated so that it can be immersed in depth. Rinse with water and a small amount of unperfumed detergent using a brush. For details on cleaning the steam nozzle, see chapter - CLEANING THE STEAM NOZZLE, fig. 1 to 8. - To remove any remaining milk residue from the steam nozzle, place a container under the nozzle and run the hot water program. Then wipe the nozzle with a damp microfiber cloth. - If the nozzle does not work, it may be clogged: unscrew it with the provided tool. See chapter 6 - CLEANING THE STEAM NOZZLE, fig. 4 and 5.
