ENGLISH Dear Customer,

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 ne creamy golden brown top produced by the

natural oils contained in coffee beans.

Drink your espresso from small porcelain cups rather than the usual coffee cup or mug.

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 nd 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

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 lter coffee. Despite its stronger,

longer-lasting taste, espresso in fact contains less caffeine than lter coffee (about 60 to 80

mg a cup as compared with 80 to 100 mg a cup). This is due to the shorter percolation time.

Due to the visibility of the containers and its automatic cleaning and scale removal programs,

your Espresseria Automatic is extremely easy to use.

The maximum amount of hot water per cycle is limited to 300 ml.

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.

While the screen displays the drink selection menu, press the “steam” key - Fig. 18. A

and a little non-abrasive washing up liquid. Rinse and dry it - Fig. 22-23. Before re-tting,

make certain that the air inlet holes are not clogged by milk residues. Clean out the holes

with a needle if necessary - Fig. 24.20

To interrupt the steam function, just press any key.

If the nozzle is blocked, clean it out with a ne needle.
