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. The KRUPS team
ENGLISH Dear Customer,
Possible volumes/times
Short espresso with body
A full-bodied espresso with pronounced aromas covered with a slightly bitter caramel-coloured crema.
Higher in caffeine but lighter on the palate.
Very popular in the morning.
– 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 250 g 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 flavours 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.
IMPORTANT PRODUCT INFORMATION 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.

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.
Your machine is equipped with intelligent technology to make daily life easier. The machine automatically detects and controls the levels of coffee beans, water and ground coffee.
When these containers must be filled or emptied, a warning light will notify you. If maintenance is required, the “warning” LED one or more of the three light bars will be lit:

DRINKS MADE USING STEAM The steam nozzle (G) foams the milk to made 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.
ENGLISH Starting a drink:
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°. 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.
