INFORMATION ON PREPARING AN ESPRESSO

To obtain an espresso which is rich in aromas and creamy, the quality of the water, the temperature, the variety of coffee, the roasting process, the fineness of the ground coffee, the dosage and the extraction pressure are all determining elements.

Water

Always use clean fresh water and change the water every day. Water with a low mineral content is preferred.

Temperature

For the first coffee or if multiple espressos are made during the day or if the machine is turned off between each espresso, it is recommended that you dispense the equivalent of 1 cup of hot water as if you were making a coffee but without using ground coffee. This helps preheat the group head, the filter holder, the filter and the cup, allowing the coffee to maintain the ideal temperature for longer once in the cup.

Coffee roasting

You can use any coffee variety for your espresso; the main thing is that it is fresh.

Coffee grinding

If the coffee is ground too finely, it will cause too much resistance to the hot water flow causing this to overheat and "burn" the coffee, thus lending it a distinct bitterness. Too much resistance will also cause the coffee to be dispensed drop by drop causing the foam not to form in the cup. If the coffee is ground too coarsely it will provide no resistance to the water flow. The infusion time is therefore too short resulting in coffee that is not very creamy and does not release enough aromas.

USING THE APPLIANCE

1. ESPRESSO PREPARATION

Espresso coffee is obtained by passing pressurized hot water through coffee grounds. The quality of the taste depends on several factors: the type of coffee, the fineness of the ground coffee, the quantity of ground coffee in the filter and the quality of the water...

The XP6025 espresso machine allows you to prepare a delicious espresso from ground coffee or a paper coffee pod.

It is recommended that you turn the machine on 10 to 15 minutes before making your espresso and pre-heat the cups on the cup warming plate. Your coffee will stay at the ideal temperature longer in a cup that has been preheated.

A. Espresso made from ground coffee

• Choose the 1 cup filter or the 2 cup filter depending on the quantity of coffee required and place in the filter holder. (fig.5).
  ■Fill the dosing spoon taking care to level it:

• 1-cup filter = 1 spoon of coffee (approximately 7 g )

• 2-cup filter = 2 spoons of coffee (approximately 14 g)

• Empty the contents of the spoon into the filter then gently shake to distribute the ground coffee uniformly.
  Press down the ground coffee using the coffee press. If the coffee seems too light, press the coffee more.
  If necessary, wipe the edge of the filter to remove any ground coffee that may be stuck and thus help the filter holder lock into the Group head.

B. Espresso made from paper pods

IMPORTANT

There are 2 types of paper pods:

• The "compact" pod = special espresso coffee packaged in a rigid pod (approx. 45 mm in diameter) composed of 7 g of compacted ground coffee.
• "Soft" pod = pod measuring in general 55 to 60 mm in diameter. Since this type of pod is not specifically designed for espresso machines, you will obtain a weaker espresso than with a "compact" pod.

Use the 1 cup filter and insert either a compact or a soft pod.

Important

Do not use the 2 cup filter with paper pods.

Since the shape of the paper pods can differ from one brand to another, take care to center the pod in the filter and push gently so that the sides fit.

IMPORTANT

If necessary, fold the sides of the paper pod inside the filter to prevent it from overhanging. This will ensure that coffee will not leak outside the filter holder and prevent any damage.

C. Espresso function

Preparing the machine

Check the water level in the tank and fill if necessary. (fig.1).
Check that the rotating control button is set to PENDING (●) and that the TEMPERATURE SELECTION button (h3) is at ESPRESSO/HOT WATER 0/0
- Switch the machine on by turning the START/STOP button (h5) to the (I) setting.
The TEMPERATURE light (h4) flashes.

IMPORTANT

While the TEMPERATURE light (h4) flashes, none of the machine's functions can be used.

Insert the filter holder into the group head by aligning the handle with the marking "INSERTION" and lock by moving the filter holder from left to right (fig.6).
■ Firmly lock the filter holder into place and make sure it is properly inserted by pushing it to the right as far as it will go.
Place 1 or 2 cups (as necessary) on the cup rest grill and check that it/they are correctly positioned under the filter holder's dispensing spout, using the cup positioning marks (fig.7).

Coffee preparation

Wait until the TEMPERATURE light (h4) stops flashing, therefore indicating that the appliance has reached the optimum temperature for making an espresso coffee. Your appliance is now ready for use.
- Push briefly espresso button or to the right to activate the ESPRESSO function. The pump operates briefly to pre-wet the ground coffee and then stops for a few seconds and starts again to dispense the coffee.

IMPORTANT

This pre-wetting process ensures even greater release of the aromas.
■When the volume of coffee has been reached, the appliance stops automatically.

IMPORTANT

By default, the volume of coffee for "1 cup" is 50 ml; for "2 cups" it is 100 ml.

Wait a few seconds until the surplus of water in the thermo block has been drained (until the "suction noise" has stopped).

NOTE

A little steam may be released from the water tank. This is completely normal.

Remove the cup(s) then unlock the filter holder by turning it from right to left until it can be released from the Group head.
Drink the espresso immediately, so that its aromas and thick cream can be enjoyed to the full.

Cleaning the filter and filter holder

• Empty the filter using a small spoon or carefully tapping it against a surface so that any waste can be collected.
  ■Remove the filter.

Important

The metal parts on the filter holder and filter are very hot.

■Rinse the filter and filter holder under hot water and dry.

D. Pre-programmed settings

The stainless steel XP6025 automatic espresso machine allows you to pre-program 2 volumes of espresso coffee very simply.

IMPORTANT

Two volumes of coffee can be programmed by default into your machine:

• Pre-program 1 (1 cup): 50ml approximately
• Pre-program 2 (2 cups): 100ml approximately

Programming 1 espresso cup

To pre-program the preparation of 1 espresso cup to your taste, follow the steps for preparing an espresso (See section "Espresso function" page 18).

Place the cup on the cup rest grill.
■ When the TEMPERATURE light (h4) stops flashing, briefly press the Pre-programmed 1 cup espresso button to the right and hold in this position. The espresso will begin to dispense.
■ When the desired volume of coffee is reached, release the button. The dispensing of coffee is stopped immediately and the personalized setting is stored in the memory.

Programming 2 cups of espresso

The steps are identical to those for programming 1 cup. Simply place 2 cups on the cup rest grill and activate the Pre-programmed 2 cup espresso button rather than the Pre-programmed 1 cup button

IMPORTANT

The maximum volume that can be programmed for 1 cup is 150ml ; for 2 cups it is 250ml approximately.

The programmed settings can be changed at any time by following the same procedure.

IMPORTANT

You can serve yourself from the espresso machine manually by interrupting the dispensing of coffee at any time. To do so, briefly activate the espresso button or the previously activated button.

2. HOT WATER FUNCTION

The production of hot water is ideal for preparing tea, infusions or pre-heating a container.

Check the water level in the tank. (fig.1).
■Make sure that the frothing nozzle is securely fitted to the adjustable spout.
Check that the rotating control button is set to PENDING (●) and that the TEMPERATURE SELECTION button (h3) is at ESPRESSO/HOT WATER 0/0
- Switch the machine on by turning the START/STOP (h5) button to the right to the (I) setting.
The TEMPERATURE light (h4) flashes.
Wait until the TEMPERATURE light (h4) stops flashing.
Place a cup or bowl under the adjustable spout and make sure it is correctly positioned.
Turn the control button to HOT WATER / (fig.3). The hot water flows through the spout.
■ When the required quantity of water is reached, turn the rotating control button to PENDING (●) to stop the flow of hot water (fig.4).
The pump stops immediately and the spout circuit is closed.

IMPORTANT

It is possible that some steam may be released from the water tank. This is completely normal.

■You can now use the water collected to prepare your hot drink.

3. STEAM FUNCTION

Steam production is ideal for making the milk froth used in milk drinks (cappuccino, latte machiatto, hot chocolate, etc.).

■Check the water level in the tank.
■Make sure that the frothing nozzle is securely fitted to the adjustable spout.
Check that the rotating control button is set to PENDING (●).
- Switch the machine on by turning the START/STOP (h5) button to the right to the (I) setting.
The TEMPERATURE light (h4) flashes.

IMPORTANT

If the rotating control button (d) is not at PENDING () , the TEMPERATURE light (h4) flashes quickly and heating does not occur.

■Turn the TEMPERATURE SELECTION button (h3) to STEAM.
Wait until the TEMPERATURE light (h4) stops flashing.
Place a container or empty cup under the spout.
- Open the spout circuit by turning the control button to STEAM / to release any remaining water that may be in the circuit (fig.3).
■Turn the control button back to the left to PENDING ( ) (fig.4).
Pour the milk into a container and plunge the frothing spout into the container without touching the bottom to prevent blocking the steam flow.

Advice

For a better result, use refrigerated milk, a cold stainless steel container and measure approximately 20 to 30ml of milk per drink.

Wait until the TEMPERATURE light (h4) stops flashing.
Turn the control button back to STEAM / (fig.3).

IMPORTANT

You will then hear an intermittent noise which is the pump jump starting. This is completely normal and necessary for the steam production. A little steam may be released from the water tank. This is completely normal.

IMPORTANT

To prevent blocking the flow of steam, the spout should not touch the bottom of the container.

As soon as the milk begins to move, slowly return the frothing nozzle back to the surface with a circular motion. Plunge the spout into the container once again this time with an increasing circular movement.
■Do this several times until the milk turns into a thick and creamy froth
■ When the required quantity of milk is reached, close the spout circuit by turning the control button to PENDING (●) (fig.4).

IMPORTANT

It is possible that some steam may be released from the water tank. This is completely normal.

■You can now remove the container from the spout.

Important

• Following the production of steam, the spout and its frothing nozzle are extremely hot. Be careful of the risk of accidental burns.
• It is strongly recommended that the spout and frothing nozzle is cleaned every time milky froth is made (See section "Cleaning and maintenance" page 20). This operation prevents any risk of spreading micro bacteria.

Important

To change to the ESPRESSO function after the production of steam, it is imperative that hot water is passed through the spout (See "Hot water function" page 16) to force the temperature of the thermo block to fall. The ESPRESSO function will remain blocked if this operation is not performed first.

4. DESCALING

Reminder: The guarantee does not cover faulty appliances on which descaling was not performed regularly.

Important

Regular descaling is recommended, on average every 2 months, (hard water with 3 to 4 espresso/day). For less frequent use (1 to 2 espresso/day), descaling should be performed every 3 months.

Descaling of the ESPRESSO circuit

This operation is performed with the filter holder removed.

Empty the water tank completely.
Pour 500~ml of water into the tank with a packet of Espresso anti-scale agent available in stores or 250~ml of white vinegar mixed with 250~ml of water.
Place a large container under the Group head
Turn the machine on, check that the control button is set to PENDING (●) and that the TEMPERATURE SELECTION button (h3) is at ESPRESSO/HOT WATER Wait until the TEMPERATURE light (h4) stops flashing.

a) Activate the pump using the Pre-programmed 1 cup espresso button or the Pre-programmed 2 cup button dispense approximately 50ml in the container then stop the pump by releasing the button used.

Important

By doing this, the personal setting for the volume of espresso linked to the button used is changed.

Remember to reset this when you make your next espresso.

b) Immediately turn the START/STOP (h5) button to "O" to switch off the machine (this must be done before the suction noise so draining is triggered).
c) Let the solution rest for approximately 10 minutes in the case of the anti-scale agent (and 20 minutes for the vinegar mixture) to let the liquid act in the heating unit and at the entrance to the Group head.

Repeat steps a) to c) twice.

Dscaling of the SPOUT circuit

The descending of the SPOUT circuit is very similar to that of the ESPRESSO circuit.

Place the container under the adjustable spout and position correctly.
Turn the machine on, check that the control button is set to PENDING (●) and that the TEMPERATURE SELECTION button (h3) is at ESPRESSO/HOT WATER 0/△
Wait until the TEMPERATURE light (h4) stops flashing.
Turn the rotating control button to the right to select the HOT WATER function / (fig.3).
■Let the antiscale agent flow through the spout for a maximum of 20 seconds.
■Stop the flow by turning the rotating control button to PENDING ( ) (fig.4).
■ Immediately switch off the machine by turning the START/STOP (h5) button to"O".
Let the solution rest for the same length of time as for the ESPRESSO circuit.
During this time, remove the remainder of the anti-scale agent contained in the tank and rinse thoroughly with fresh water.

Rinsing of circuits

■Fill the tank with fresh water up to the maximum water level.
■Turn the machine on and wait until the TEMPERATURE light (h4) stops flashing.
Get a large container to collect the water.
Start rinsing by circulating a full tank of fresh water as follows:

• 3/4 of the tank through the ESPRESSO circuit
• 1/4 of the tank through the SPOUT circuit

IMPORTANT

Once you have let the equivalent of a tank of fresh water circulate through the 2 circuits you can be sure that there is no anti-scale agent left in the tank nor any residue taste resulting from its use.

5. SAFETY AND VISUAL WARNINGS

The control buttons on the XP6025 include a general safety device that prevents confirmation of any operation if the correct temperature has not been reached:

• While the TEMPERATURE light (h4) flashes, none of the buttons (except START/STOP) can be used.

Important

The machine is also equipped with visual warnings advising of any misuse of your machine.

Scenario 1: detection of a fault in the water tank

In ESPRESSO or HOT WATER mode, when the TEMPERATURE light (h4) flashes quickly and the pump stops, your machine has detected that the water in the tank is at the minimum level and warns you that the tank is close to empty.

In this case:
1. Turn the rotating control button to the PENDING position (●) (if not already at this setting).
2. Switch the machine off by turning the START/STOP button (h5) to the (0) setting.
3. Empty the remaining water in the tank and re-fill then re-position correctly (fig.2).
4. Switch the machine on again by turning the START/STOP button (h5) to the (I) setting.
5. Wait until the TEMPERATURE light (h4) stops flashing.
6. Let the water run through the HOT WATER/STEAM spout (fig.3) for approximately 20 seconds (See section "Hot water function" page 16).

Note:

If the pump has not started completely, the TEMPERATURE light (h4) will flash again (quickly or normally).

In this case, switch the machine off again. Wait a few seconds then turn it on again and restart. It may be that you have to repeat these operations 2 or 3 times for the pump to be completely operational again.

Scenario 2: rotating selector incorrectly positioned

If the TEMPERATURE light (h4) flashes quickly when your turn your machine on, this means that the rotating control button (d) is not set to PENDING (●) and that the thermo block cannot be heated.

In this case, turn the control button to PENDING (●) (fig.4).

6.AUTOMATIC STANDBY

For safety and energy saving reasons, the XP6025 espresso machine is equipped with automatic standby:

■ Your machine will automatically switch to standby when it has not been used for more than 30 minutes. The TEMPERATURE light (h4) will remain lit but less bright. The main electricity supply to your machine (thermo block heating included) is interrupted.
To restart the machine, turn the START/STOP button to 0. Wait a few seconds and switch the machine back on by turning the START/STOP button to (I).

7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

To ensure that your KRUPS Espresso Machine works for many years, we advise you to perform regular maintenance.

Important

• Before any cleaning, disconnect the machine's power cord and ensure that the machine is cold.
• None of the machine's parts can be put in the dishwasher.

Regular cleaning of filters and filter holder

■After each use, clean the filter and the filter holder under warm water.
Regularly check that the sieves at the bottom of the filters are not blocked. If necessary, use a fine needle (not supplied) to unblock the holes. You can also wipe the upper surface of the sieves using a synthetic brush and run the filters under warm water to remove any dirt.

Clean the filters thoroughly

If you notice a problem dispensing coffee, it may be that the filter is blocked. In this case, clean thoroughly:

Using a cross recess unscrew the central screw.
Remove the stainless steel sieve.(fig.9).
Clean all the parts in warm water.
Hold to the light to check that there is no residue blocking the holes. If so, clean more thoroughly taking care to remove any particles using a synthetic brush or a fine needle.

Important

Ensure that the different parts are dry before assembling: place the sieve in the filter and tighten the screw.

Cleaning the Group head

The base of the group head must be cleaned regularly using a non-abrasive cloth soaked in water. This is to remove all remaining coffee grounds from the sieve and in the filter holder housing system.
Residual coffee grounds can also get blocked in the group head's peripheral cylinder. In this case, this can be removed using a small fine object which is not pointed or a toothpick.

IMPORTANT

You are advised to operate your machine regularly with the filter holder in place but without coffee, to remove any coffee remains.

Cleaning the adjustable spout and frothing nozzle

It is highly recommended that you clean the spout and frothing nozzle after each time you froth milk.

Important

Ensure that the spout and its nozzle have cooled down before performing any maintenance.

■ Remove the frothing nozzle from the spout by turning it fully then pull the part to release (fig.9).
Dip the frothing nozzle in very hot water to ensure that any milk residue is completely removed.

IMPORTANT

If any of the milk froth has dried up around the frothing nozzle, dip it in a container of water overnight to soften the residue.

Clean the outside of the plastic tube of the nozzle with hot water.
If necessary, unblock the internal steam duct by inserting the needle supplied (t) into the nozzle hole and running some hot water or steam through the plastic tube (See sections "Hot water function" page 15 or "Steam function" page 15).
■Ensure that all parts are completely dry.
We also recommend that you use this needle to unblock the holes in the filters and the small hole at the top of the detachable metal steam foam nozzle (fig 10).
- Carefully fit the special cappuccino nozzle by positioning the pins in the holes and rotating them anticlockwise until they lock into place (fig.11).

IMPORTANT

These operations are essential to prevent any risk of spreading micro bacteria.

Cleaning the water tank

■ Remove and clean the water tank every day. Rinse with clear water and re-position ensuring that it is correctly lodged in its housing.
If a layer of limescale should form on the tank walls, descale using a mixture of water and white vinegar. Leave to rest for 1 hour.
■Wipe with a non-abrasive sponge and rinse thoroughly.

Cleaning the cup rest grill

■ Remove the cup rest grill by moving it upwards. (fig.12).
■Wash with warm soapy water.
■Rinse and dry carefully.

Cleaning the water drip tray

Remove the water drip tray by sliding it forwards (fig.13).
Remove the cup rest grill (fig.12).
Clean under warm water and dry thoroughly.

IMPORTANT

The water level indicator can be removed and re-attached using the clips.

Clean the stainless steel cover using a non-abrasive slightly damp cloth. Dry.
■Re-assemble the tray.
■Reposition the cup rest grill.

Cleaning the appliance body, the cup warming plate

These parts of the appliance are cleaned using a non-abrasive and slightly wet cloth.

Important

Take care not to allow water on the control panel.

Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

Important

Do not pour an espresso into a cup that is cold. This will cause the temperature of the espresso to cool too quickly. It is recommended that you turn on your machine 10 to 15 minutes before making the espresso and rest the cups on the cup warming plate. It heats up quickly and reaches a temperature that is sufficiently high enough to heat the cups quickly and efficiently.

8. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Problems Probable causes Solutions
The appliance does not work.	The power supply has been cut off.	Check that there is current at the socket.
	The machine is not on.	Activate the START/STOP button and check that the temperature light is flashing.
The heating unit does not heat up.	The TEMPERATURE light flashes quickly as the rotating control button (d) is set to bluing heating.	Turn the rotating control button to PENDING (●).
	The machine is on automatic standby.	Exit standby mode by activating the START/STOP button.
Coffee, hot water or steam is not dispensed.	The water tank is empty (this is indicated by the rapid flashing of the TEMPERATURE light (h4).) Important: if it becomes empty during operation, the pump becomes very noisy. Stop the function immediately or switch the machine off.	Fill the water tank. See the “Draining the water circuit” paragraph to restart the pump.
	The water tank is not positioned correctly.	Remove the tank and reposition it correctly.
	The coffee is ground too finely.	Check your grind setting on your grinder and readjust it to a coarser grind.
	There is too much coffee in the filter.	Use the quantity indicated in the instructions.
	The filter is blocked.	Dip the filter in soapy water to clean it; gently scrub to remove superficial dirt. Use a fine needle to remove any dirt, limescale and rinse under clear water. If necessary, perform more thorough cleaning (See section “Clean the filters thoroughly” on page 20).
	The heating unit is still too hot following steam production.	It is imperative that you let the hot water flow through the spout to lower the temperature of the thermo block.
	The appliance has limescale.	Completely descale the appliance (See section “Dscaling” on page 17).
The coffee flows through the panels on the filter holder.	The filter holder is not securely attached to the Group head.	Tighten the filter holder to the Group head. Locking of the filter holder will get easier after the first uses.
	The edges of the paper pods overlap the filter.	Center the pod and fold the edges inside the filter.
	The joint for the Group head is worn.	Get a professional from an Approved Service Center to replace the joint.
Problems Probable causes Solutions
