Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of an Espresso Automatic EA815-EA816-EA817 Series. With your machine, you can make a wide range of drinks: espressos, coffees or ristrettos, completely automatically. You can also make milk-based drinks such as cappuccinos. It has been designed so that you can enjoy restaurant quality coffee at home, whatever the time of the day and every day of the week. You will appreciate its ease-of-use and the quality of your cup of coffee. You can set the amount, strength and temperature of your drinks.

Thanks to its Compact Thermoblock System with built-in percolation chamber, its 15 bar pump, and because it uses coffee beans which have been freshly ground just before making the coffee, your machine will give you hot ristrettos, espressos and coffees from the first cup with maximum aroma and a creamy golden-brown froth.

To give the drink maximum flavour, an espresso is traditionally served in a small, flared porcelain cup. For an optimum temperature espresso and a dense creamy froth, we recommend that you pre-heat your cup.

You will probably need to try several types of coffee before you find the one that suits you.

By experimenting with the blend and/or roast, you will eventually arrive at the ideal result.

Espresso coffee has a richer aroma than classic filter coffee. Despite its stronger taste which remains longer on the palate, an espresso contains less caffeine than filter coffee (around 60 to 80 mg per cup compared to 80 to 100 mg per cup) due to its shorter percolation period.

The quality of water used is another determining factor which affects the overall quality of the brewed coffee. You should ideally use water which is fresh from the tap (so that it hasn't had time to stagnate due to air contact), which is cold and which does not smell of chlorine.

The ergonomic, compact LCD display makes the machine easy to use. It will guide you through each step, from preparing your drink to servicing your machine.

We wish you many years of enjoyment with your Krups machine.

The Krups team

BEVERAGE PREPARATION

Appliance preparation

To prevent used water spillage from making your work surface dirty and to avoid burning yourself, don't forget to attach the drip tray. Remove and refill the water tank (1-2). ■ Refill the coffee bean container (3).

First use

Turn on the appliance by plugging it in, then pressing the on/off button (4). The machine pre-heats. At the end of the cycle, the symbols and start button start to flash. Put a 0.6L container underneath the two coffee and steam nozzles. Press the start/stop button (5). The machine starts and rinses the hydraulic circuits (coffee and steam) for around 2 minutes. At the end of the initialisation cycle, the coffee types menu appears. (6) ■ You are advised to rinse the circuit if you have not used your machine for several days (see the chapter on Maintaining Your Appliance).

Preparing the grinder

You can adjust the strength of your coffee by adjusting how finely the coffee beans are ground.

Generally, the finer the coffee is ground, the stronger and creamier the coffee will be, but this also depends on the type of coffee used.

Adjust the fineness of grinding by turning the coffee grounds fineness adjustment knob ⑥ which is located in the coffee bean container. It is advised that you do this during grinding, one notch at a time.

After 3 rounds, you will notice a pronounced difference in taste. To the left, the grounds are finer. To the right, the grounds are coarser. (7)

Claris F 088 - Aqua Filter System cartridge (Sold separately)

To optimise the taste of your drinks and the lifespan of your appliance, you are advised to only use a Claris - Aqua Filter System cartridge with your machine (see the chapter OTHER FUNCTIONS - Installing the filter).

Every time you place a Claris-Aqua Filter into the machine you must prime the filter before using the machine by activating the "install filter cartridge" program.

MAKING AN ESPRESSO AND A COFFEE

Note:

The amount of water for making an espresso is between 30 and 70 ml.

The amount of water for making a coffee is between 80 and 180 ml.

Starting preparation (with 1 or 2 cups)

Press the on-off button, and wait for the appliance to finish heating up. The coffee types menu is displayed. The function indicator is shown above the coffee types button (6). Place one or two cups under the coffee jets. You can lower or raise the coffee jets according to the size of your cup (8). Select the coffee strength (shown coffee beans displayed on the screen in brackets) with the + button to increase or the - button to decrease. (9). Press the navigation button to set the volume: select the volume of water displayed on the screen between brackets using the + or - buttons (10). - Press the navigation button to set the number of cups: select 1 or 2 cups, displayed on the screen between brackets using the + or - buttons.

To stop the flow into your cup, press the STOP button. ■ You can also adjust the temperature of your coffee (see the chapter OTHER functions - Settings).

Two cup function

The appliance will automatically carry out 2 full cycles of coffee preparation.

MAKING DRINKS USING STEAM

Steam is used to froth the milk, for example when preparing a cappuccino or caffe latte, and also to heat up liquids.

As a higher temperature is required when producing steam than when making an espresso, the appliance will launch an additional pre-heating phase.

Frothing milk

■ For best results, you are advised to use very fresh, very cold pasteurised or UHT milk, recently opened. Unpasteurised milk does not produce the best results. - Check that the steam nozzle is correctly positioned. Pour the milk into a milk jug which has a handle or into a cappuccino cup. Only fill it half way. ■ When the screen displays the drink selection menu, press the steam button (12). The function indicator is located above the steam button. Insert the steam nozzle into the milk.

A screen indicates that the appliance is heating up. Once the appliance has finished heating up, you can begin to make steam by pressing START , and following these steps (13):

Step 1: holding the milk jug in place, insert the steam nozzle approximately 2 cm into the milk and wait for it to start frothing.

Step 2: raise the container slightly (approximately 1 cm). Do not completely submerge the metal tube.

Step 3: gradually lower the container as the froth accumulates. (14)

■ When you have frothed the milk enough, press the STOP button to stop the cycle. Warning: the cycle does not stop immediately. To remove any milk traces from the steam nozzle, place a container under the nozzle and start the steam function again (approximately 10 seconds). The steam nozzle is removable in order to allow for deep cleaning. Wash it with water and a little non-abrasive detergent using a brush. Rinse and dry (15-16). Before replacing, make sure that the air holes are not clogged with milk residue. Unclog the holes with the needle supplied with your appliance if necessary (17). To stop the steam, press the STOP button

WARNING: THE CYCLE DOES NOT STOP IMMEDIATELY.

Steam can be produced for a maximum of 2 minutes per cycle.

Auto-cappuccino XS 6000 set (sold separately)

This auto-cappuccino accessory enables you to make cappuccinos or lattes (18). Connect the different parts to each other. Ensure that the pipe is not pierced by keeping the knob in the correct place. After removing the lid, fill the jug with milk (19) and place a cup or glass under the auto-cappuccino nozzle (20). Select cappuccino or latte on the special nozzle (21). Start steam, as indicated in the chapter "Making drinks with steam". Once you have made the milk froth, place your cup under the coffee jets and start a coffee cycle (22).

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. For this you can use the KRUPS liquid detergent available separately.

DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE

You can adjust the strength of your coffee by setting the fineness of the grind of the coffee beans. In general, the finer the grind of the coffee beans, the stronger the coffee. The quality of the drink obtained also depends on the type of coffee used.

To adjust the fineness of the grind, turn the grind fineness knob , located inside the coffee bean hopper. It is recommended to perform this adjustment during the coffee grinding process, gradually moving through the settings. By trying coffees with different grinds, you will clearly notice differences in taste. When turning clockwise, the grind becomes finer. When turning counterclockwise, it becomes coarser.

The amount of water for one coffee ranges from 80 to 180 ml.

PREPARATION AND USE OF STEAM

Steam is used to heat milk when preparing cappuccino or latte, as well as to preheat liquids. Since steam production requires a higher temperature than espresso preparation, the machine performs an additional preheating stage. Milk froth

For the best results, we recommend using fresh pasteurized milk or UHT milk that has undergone heat treatment. Using raw milk, you will not achieve the best result. After using the steam wand, the nozzle may be hot; we recommend you wait a few minutes before performing any manipulations with it. Make sure the nozzle is correctly installed. Pour the milk into the jug or cup with handle or into the milk container. Do not fill the jug/cup more than half full. When the machine displays the drink selection menu, press the steam wand button (12). The function indicator is located near the steam wand button. Lower the steam wand into the milk. A message about the appliance preheating appears on the screen. As soon as the preheating phase is finished, you can start the steam production process by pressing the START button, and then proceed to the following steps (13):

Step 1: Lower the steam wand into the milk approximately 2 cm deep. Wait for the beginning of froth formation.

Step 2: Slowly raise the container (approximately 1 cm). Do not fully immerse the metal tube in the milk.

Step 3: Gradually lower the container as the froth forms. (14)

When a sufficient amount of froth has formed, press the STOP button to stop the cycle. Attention, the cycle stop is not instantaneous. To remove milk residues from the steam wand, place a container under it and restart the preparation using steam (about 10 seconds). ■For deeper cleaning, the steam wand can be disassembled. Wash it in water with a small amount of mild dishwashing detergent. Then rinse and dry (15-16). Before installing the wand in place, make sure that the air intake holes are not clogged with milk residues. Clean them if necessary with the special needle included in the machine kit (17). And to stop the steam wand, press the STOP button

ATTENTION! THE CYCLE STOP IS NOT INSTANTANEOUS.

The maximum duration of steam production in one cycle is no more than 2 minutes. AUTOCAPPUCCINATORE XS 6000 (sold separately)

■The autocappuccinatore simplifies the preparation of cappuccino or latte (18). Connect its parts together. Make sure the tube is not kinked while maintaining a comfortable position of the knob. ■After removing the lid of the container, fill it with milk (19) and place the cup or glass under the autocappuccinatore (20). Select the cappuccino or latte position on the special nozzle (21). As shown in the chapter Preparation with steam. As soon as the milk froth appears, place the cup under the hot water outlet and start the coffee cycle (22).

To prevent milk from being forgotten on the automatic cappuccino maker, it must be thoroughly cleaned. It is recommended to rinse it immediately by starting a rinse cycle with a full tank of water to clean the milk spout inside. For these purposes, you can also use a liquid milk cleaner, such as KRUPS.
