Thank you for having purchased this Krups Espresseria Automatic. We are sure you will enjoy both the quality of the coffee it makes and how easy it is to use. Whether you want a short, strong shot of a ristretto, a good espresso, a larger and milder lungo, or a creamy cappuccino, your automatic coffee / espresso machine has been designed so you can enjoy the same quality at home as at the bistro, whatever the time of day and right through the week. Thanks to its Thermoblock System, its 15 bar pump and because it uses real coffee beans that are ground just before the coffee is made, your Espresseria Automatic will give you a drink containing maximum aroma, with a fine creamy golden brown top produced by the natural oils contained in coffee beans. To obtain an espresso at just the right temperature and a nice compact creamy top, we advise you to pre-heat your cup. After a few trial runs you will find the type of mix and roast of the coffee beans that suits your taste. The quality of the water used is obviously another essential factor in the coffee you get. Make sure the water is fresh from the tap (contact with the air tends to make it stale), that it is free from chlorine odours and relatively cold. Espresso coffee is richer in aroma than a conventional filter coffee. Despite its stronger, longer-lasting taste, espresso in fact contains less caffeine than filter coffee.

BEFORE FIRST USE Preparing the appliance
Pull out and fill the water tank - Fig. 1 and 2.
Put it back in place by pressing firmly and close the lid again - Fig. 3. Open the coffee bean container lid. Add the coffee beans - Fig. 4. Close the coffee bean container lid again. Do not fill the water tank with hot water, milk or any other liquid. If you turn on the appliance when the water light will come on and making an espresso tank is not in place or not correctly filled (under the “min.” level,), the or a cup of coffee will be made impossible. NEVER PUT GROUND COFFEE IN THE COFFEE CONTAINER. It is recommended that you do not use oily, caramelised or flavoured coffee beans for this appliance. These kinds of beans may damage the appliance. 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 invalidate the guarantee. 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. Check that your water tank is clean.
Initialisation cycle - total duration: around 3 minutes
Turn on the appliance by pressing the button
- Fig. 5. The light is constant. Put a container with a minimum capacity of 0.6 litres underneath the two coffee outlets and steam nozzle. Press the - Fig. 6 button: the appliance starts the initialisation cycle for rinsing of the steam and coffee circuits. The light flashes. The cycle is finished when the light becomes constant. The appliance is now ready to use. It is preferable to rinse the 2 circuits out at least once after the appliance has not been used for several days. Each time you plug your appliance in, it will carry out an initialisation cycle.
Preparing the grinder
You can choose the strength of your coffee by setting the coffee bean grinding fineness. The finer the grinding setting, the stronger and creamier the coffee should be. Set the desired fineness for grinding by turning the ‘Grinding fineness setting’ knob.Turn to the left for finer grind. Turn to the right for coarser grind.
CHANGE THE SETTING DURING GRINDING. Never force the grinding fineness setting button.
YOUR APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED TO MAKE COFFEE FROM COFFEE BEANS ONLY.
When you first make coffee with the appliance or after a long period of absence or a cleaning or scale removal 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. Note: The amount of water needed to make an espresso is between 30 and 70 ml. The amount of water needed to make a coffee is between 80 and 220 ml.
Production of an espresso or coffee
Plug in your appliance.
Press the button . The light will flash during the pre-heating and initialisation cycle. The light becomes constant. Put a cup under the coffee outlets. You can lower or raise the coffee outlets to suit the size of your cups - Fig. 7. Select the key to get a strong espresso or the key to get a standard espresso - Fig. 8. You can change the volume of water at any time - Fig. 9. To stop coffee flowing into the cup, you can either again press one of the or , keys or turn the knob to the min. position. The ground coffee is moistened with a little hot water after the grinding stage. A few moments later, percolation as such starts. Beyond a certain amount of coffee in the cup, we recommend - in order to obtain a stronger coffee - to divide your preparation into two separate cycles. Example 2 x 70 ml cycles for a cup of 140 ml.
You can prepare 2 cups of coffee or espresso with your appliance.
Press the button the light flashes during the pre-heating of the appliance The light becomes constant. Place 2 cups under the coffee outlets. You can lower or raise the coffee outlets to suit the size of your cup - Fig. 10. Select the button or according to your choice, by quickly pressing the button twice. The light comes on with a double flash to inform you that you have requested two cups of coffee. The appliance will automatically sequence 2 complete coffee-making cycles. Make sure that you don’t remove the cups after the first cycle. If you press the into account.
button a second time (or the other way round), the second one isn’t taken
PREPARING STEAM Steam froths up the milk to make a cappuccino or a caffe latte, for example, and also heats up liquids. As you need a higher temperature to produce steam than to make an espresso, the appliance runs an additional pre-heating phase for steam.
Plug in your appliance. Press the button: the light flashes during the pre-heating of the appliance. The light becomes constant. Press the button - Fig. 11. The light flashes during the pre-heating. Once the pre-heating is finished, the light stays constant and you can start the steam production by pressing the button again. Press the button again to stop the cycle. The appliance goes back to its initial position if the steam control is not used after 2 mins. BE CAREFUL, BECAUSE THE CYCLE DOES NOT STOP IMMEDIATELY.
EN PREPARING ESPRESSO AND LONG COFFEES Frothing milk
We recommend that you use pasteurised or UHT milk that has been recently opened. Untreated milk does not give the best results. Pour the milk into your milk jug. Immerse the nozzle in the milk - Fig. 12. Initiate the steam function as explained in the paragraph above. Once your milk is frothy enough - Fig. 13 - again press the button to stop the cycle. To remove any milk traces from the steam nozzle, place a container under the nozzle and restart a preparation with steam (around 10 seconds). The steam nozzle can be removed for more intense cleaning. Wash it out with water and a little washing up liquid and a small non-abrasive brush. Rinse and dry it - Fig. 14. Before putting it back, ensure that the air inlet holes are not blocked by any milk residues. If necessary, unblock them using the needle supplied - Fig. 15. Do not wash the steam nozzle in a dishwasher. To interrupt the steam function, simply press any button. If the nozzle is obstructed, unblock it with the needle provided. Steam can be produced for a maximum of 2 minutes per cycle.
After the steam function has been used, the nozzle can be hot, and we recommend that you wait for a few moments before handling it.
Auto-cappuccino XS 6000 Set (sold separately)
This auto-cappuccino accessory enables you to make cappuccinos or lattes - Fig. 16. Connect the different parts to each other. Ensure that you do not pierce the pipe by keeping the button in the correct place.
After removing the lid, fill the jug with milk - Fig. 17 and place a cup or glass under the auto-cappuccino nozzle - Fig. 18. Select the cappuccino or latte position on the special nozzle - Fig. 19. Start the steam, as indicated in the chapter ‘Making drinks with steam’. Once you have made the milk froth, place your cup under the coffee outlets and start a coffee cycle - Fig. 20. To prevent the milk from drying on the auto-cappuccino accessory, ensure that you clean it thoroughly. You are advised to wash it immediately by running a steam cycle with the accessory jug filled with water in order to clean the inside of the nozzle. You can use the KRUPS liquid cleaner for this, available separately.
