Thank you for purchasing your KRUPS espresso maker with bean grinder. Designed and manufactured in France to deliver a café-quality drink with the greatest ease of use, your machine KRUPS enables you to enjoy espresso, ristretto, lungo, cappuccino coffees at any time of day. Your espresso maker with bean grinder is equipped with advanced technologies and an intuitive interface; to obtain the best possible extraction with ease, to reveal a maximum amount of aromas and flavours from freshly ground coffee beans. For an optimal taste experience, be sure to use fresh tap water. For increased pleasure, you may use your KRUPS ARABICA LATTE machine to automatically make perfect cappuccinos with frothy foam at the touch of a button, thanks to its built-in milk pot. Since all coffees are not alike, you may personalise your drinks: - By changing the coffee beans (different mix or roast), you may discover different flavours. You will probably need several trials to find the coffee beans that match your taste. - By varying the fineness of the grind, you may obtain coffees that more or less full-flavoured. - By choosing your length, strength to obtain the perfect cup. - By saving your favourite coffees using the favourites key We wish you pleasant moments spent around coffee and we hope that your KRUPS machine will fully satisfy you. The KRUPS team
EN The quality of the water strongly influences the quality of the aromas. Limescale and chlorine can alter the taste of coffee. We recommend that you use the Claris Aqua Filter System cartridge, or water with low mineral content, in order to preserve all the aromas of your coffee.
When preparing drinks we recommend using preheated cups (by passing them under hot water) whose size is adapted to your desired quantity.
The roasted coffee beans can lose their aroma 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 fine, floral aromas 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 aromas 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.
Use pasteurised, UHT, skimmed, semi-skimmed or whole milk from the fridge (3-5°C) for best results.
The use of special milks: micro filtered, raw, fermented, enriched or plant milks such as rice, oat or almond milk can give results that are less satisfactory in terms of quality and quantity of froth.

USING YOUR APPLIANCE INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE Danger : Connect the appliance to an earthed 230 V mains socket. Failure to do so means that you run the risk of fatal injury due to electricity!
Respect the safety guidelines indicated in the “Safety guidelines” booklet.
Preparing the appliance
To prevent used water flows from dirtying your counter top or from potentially burning you, don't forget to insert the drip tray. (E) - Remove, fill the water reservoir and put it back in place. (1-2) - Remove the coffee bean reservoir lid, pour in the coffee beans and put the lid back on. (3)
- Switch the appliance on by plugging it in - Press the start/stop button (4) - The machine preheats, at the end of the cycle, the pictograms and press start flash. - Place a container (at least 600 ml) under the coffee and steam nozzles, then press the start/stop key (7). - The machine primes itself and rinses the hydraulic circuits (coffee and steam) for approximately 2 minutes. - At the end of the cycle, the coffee recipe menu is displayed (8).
Installing the cartridge in the appliance: Sold separately
We advise the use of a Claris Aqua Filter System filter cartridge to eliminate all traces of chlorine and limescale. Limits the formation of limescale and ensures your machine’s longevity. The use of this cartridge ensures a more flavourful coffee. To perform the installation, you will need: - 1 filter cartridge - 1 container (minimum 600 ml) Attention: to properly prime your filter cartridge, ensure that you have properly followed the installation procedure at each set-up. - Set the date by turning the grey ring located on the upper end of the cartridge (5). - Screw the cartridge into the water reservoir (6). - Press the settings and maintenance button - Using the navigation key - The pictograms
- Place the 600 ml container under the coffee outlets (7).
- Press the start key (7); the priming cycle starts. The installation of the filter cartridge is complete; the coffee recipe menu appears, and you may again use your machine (8).
Water hardness is a high concentration of minerals, specifically of calcium, which is responsible for the formation of limescale. To prevent the scaling of your machine, which may lead to the improper operation or alter the taste of your coffee, you must set your machine according to the hardness of your water (between 0 and 4). Prior to the 1st use and in order to set your machine, determine the hardness of your water by using a pH test stick: - Fill a glass of water - Immerse the stick - Wait 1 minute for the result It is also possible to contact your water company. You will find detailed information on the classes in the table below: Class 0 Very soft
Be sure to perform this operation at each time you use your machine in a place where the water hardness is different or if you notice a change in the hardness of your water.
BEFORE PREPARING DRINKS IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS Your machine offers pre-set drinks to obtain optimal results. You may nonetheless personalise your coffee and have an effect on the results in your cup.
Preparing the grinder: set the grind fineness (9)
You may adjust the strength of your coffee by setting the grind fineness of the coffee beans; the finer the setting of the coffee grinder, the more the coffee is strong and creamy. The type of coffee used may also influence the result obtained. We recommend a very fine setting for ristretto, fine for espresso and coarser for lungo. To set the level of grind fineness: - Turn the setting knob located in the bean reservoir. This setting must be performed during grinding and notch by notch. - After 3 preparations, you will notice a very distinct taste difference. The variation of grinding fineness allows: - To be able 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 (dark to light bean) Roasting: Light (Blonde)
- More or less aromas and power in the cup
Adjusting the coffee outlet (10)
For all drinks offered, you may lower and raise the coffee outlets depending on the size of your cup(s). Stopping a drink while preparation is under way You may stop the preparation at any time by pressing the start/stop key . When a cycle is interrupted, stoppage is not immediate. The machine will be inaccessible over a certain period.
You may use your appliance to simultaneously prepare two cups. The double cups function is only accessible for coffee recipes by choosing 2 cups when you enter the settings of your drinks.
