Dear Customer,
Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of a Krups Espresseria Automatic. You will appreciate both the quality of the result in your cup and its superior ease-of-use.
Espresso or lungo, ristretto or cappuccino; your automatic coffee/espresso machine has been designed so that you can enjoy the same quality at home as in a bistro, whatever the time of the day and throughout the week. With its Compact Thermoblock System, 15 bar pump – and especially because it works exclusively with coffee freshly ground just before extraction – your Espresseria Automatic enables you to obtain a drink with maximum aroma, topped with a wonderful thick golden cream resulting from the natural oils in the coffee beans.
Espresso is not served in a traditional coffee cup, but rather in small porcelain cups.
For an espresso at just the right temperature and cream that sits perfectly poised, we recommend you preheat your cups.
Once you've tried a few times, you will learn how to mix and roast the coffee beans to match your taste. The quality of water used is of course decisive in making sure the result at the end is the best it can be.
Please ensure the water has been freshly poured from the tap (so that it doesn't become stagnant after coming into contact with oxygen), and that there is no smell of chlorine. Make sure too, of course, that it's sufficiently cold.
Espresso coffee is richer in aroma than classic filter coffee. Despite its stronger, longer lasting flavour, espresso actually contains less caffeine than filter coffee (around 60 to 80 mg per cup in comparison with 80 to 100 mg per cup of filter coffee).
This is because it takes less time to percolate. Thanks to an ingenious system whereby the milk container is integrated seamlessly into the machine, your Latt'Espress is the perfect solution for preparing sumptuous cappuccinos...
The simplicity of the controls, the visibility of all tanks and the automatic cleaning and descaling programmes mean your Latt'Espress Automatic is both efficient and easy to use.
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Measuring the water hardness
Before using the appliance for the first time, or if you notice a change in the hardness of your water, adjust the appliance to the hardness of the water used. To verify water hardness, use the stick supplied with your appliance or contact your local water authority. The appliance will prompt you to set the hardness of your water before you first use it.
| Degree of hardness | Class 0 Very soft | Class 1 Soft | Class 2 Medium hard | Class 3 Hard | Class 4 Very hard |
| °dH | <3° | >4° | >7° | >14° | >21° |
| °e | <3.75° | >5° | >8.75° | >17.5° | >26.25° |
| °f | <5.4° | >7.2° | >12.6° | >25.2° | >37.8° |
| Appliance setting | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
