Close-up of a white surface with black rectangular cutouts and a red horizontal bar, no visible text or symbolsDear customer,
Congratulations on purchasing your Espresso Automatic Series EA84XX. This machine allows you to prepare a wide variety of drinks, including espressos, coffees or ristrettos, totally automatically. You can also prepare milk drinks such as cappuccinos. It is designed to allow you to enjoy restaurant quality coffee at home, whatever the time of day or day of the week. You will appreciate both the quality of the coffee produced as well as the ease of use. You can choose the volume, strength and temperature of your drinks.
The Compact Thermoblock System with integrated percolation chamber, 15 bar pump and coffee granules that are freshly ground just before extraction, allows you to make ristrettos, espressos and coffees that are hot right from the first cup with maximum flavour and covered in a chamois coloured cream.
The hot water function also allows you to prepare teas and other drinks at an instant.
Espressos are traditionally served in small porcelain cups that widen at the top, releasing all of the coffee's aromas. To obtain an espresso with the perfect temperature and with a small cream, we recommend heating the cups beforehand.
It will probably take several attempts before you find the coffee beans you prefer. By changing the mixture and/or roasting process, you will soon achieve the ideal result.
Espressos are more aromatic than a classic filter coffee. Despite its more distinct taste, which is very evident in the mouth and more persistent, an espresso contains less caffeine than a filter coffee (approximately 60 to 80 mg per cup compared to 80 to 100 mg per cup); this is due to shorter percolation time.
The quality of the water used is also a determining factor in terms of the quality of the drink achieved. Ideally, use water straight from the tap (so that it has not had time to stagnate on contact with the air); the water should also be free from any chloride odours and it should be cold.
The ergonomic and comfortable colour touch screen will help you navigate through the programmes. It will guide you through the stages, from preparing your drink to maintenance operations.
We hope you enjoy using your Krups machine.
The Krups team

Five glassware items: a cup, a mug, a glass with liquid, and a tall glass (no text or symbols visible)Here are some recommendations for making the most of your machine and producing quality coffees:
- The quality of the water has a huge impact on the quality of the aromas. Limescale and chlorine can alter the taste of your coffee. We recommend that you use the Claris Aqua Filter System cartridge, or slightly mineralised water to preserve all the aromas of your coffee.
- To prepare ristretto, espresso and coffee recipes, we recommend that you use pre-heated (by running under hot water) tulip shaped porcelain cups, which are the correct size for the size of drink you want. For your cappuccino, latte and hot milk recipes, we recommend that you use thick glass cups for a delicious result.
- Roasted coffee beans can lose their flavour if they are not protected. We recommend that you use the quantity of beans required for the next four to five days. The quality of coffee beans varies and whether you like them or not is a matter of personal taste; however, we recommend that you use arabica rather than robusta coffee beans. It will probably take several attempts to find the coffee beans that you prefer.
Finally, we recommend that you do not use oily or caramelised beans, which can damage the machine. - The quality and fineness of the ground beans will affect the aromas and quality of the cream. The finer the ground beans the creamier the cream. The grounding should be adjusted to the drink desired: fine for ristretto and espresso and coarser for coffee.
- You can use pasteurised or UHT milk, skimmed, semi-skimmed or whole milk, straight from the fridge (7°C). The use of special milks (microfiltered, unpasteurised, fermented, enriched, etc.) can produce less satisfactory results, in particular in terms of the quality of the froth and these are therefore not recommended.

PREPARING DRINKS
Information on recipes
Depending on the recipe selected, your Espresso Automatic EA84XX will automatically adjust the quantity of ground coffee.
Preparing the grinder
You can adjust the strength of your coffee by adjusting the size of the ground coffee beans. In general, the finer the coffee grounds the stronger and creamier the coffee, however this depends on the type of coffee used.
Adjust the size of the ground beans by turning the ‘Coffee grinding setting’ button (L) on the bean tank. You are advised to do this during the grinding process and gradually. After three preparations, you will notice a very distinctive difference in taste.
The grinding setting is useful when you change coffee type or if you would like a stronger or weaker coffee. It is not recommended that you perform this setting systematically.
Preparing drinks coffee
This chapter explains how the machine operates using the example of the Espresso function.
Press the "Espresso" button.
If the machine detects a lack of water when you request a recipe, it will ask you to fill the tank. Place the cup(s) under the coffee spouts.
You can adjust the height of the coffee outlet depending on the size of your cup(s). Fig. 10.
Possible settings
The machine lets you prepare one or two cups.
Selecting the strength: the more beans selected the coarser the preparation. You can change the strength using the - and + buttons located to the left and right of the symbols. Press the "OK" button on the touch screen to launch the preparation.
Preparing an espresso
The machine grinds the beans, compacts the coffee grounds and performs percolation.
It is possible to adjust the volume of coffee in preparation using the - and + buttons.
You can stop the preparation at any time by pressing "STOP". Caution, pressing stop causes a machine resetting phase that can last up to 30 seconds. This is normal.
When a cycle is interrupted, the machine does not stop immediately, the machine will finish its cycle but the preparation will be cancelled.
! Caution! : Automatic rinsing of the coffee nozzle
Depending on the type of recipes prepared, the machine may carry out an automatic rinsing operation when it is switched off.
The cycle lasts only a few seconds and will stop automatically.
Preparing other drinks:
Important: we recommend that you use pasteurised or UHT milk, recently opened. Unpasteurised milk does not produce the best results.
Important: After using the steam functions, the spout can remain hot; we recommend that you wait a few moments before handling.
For drinks with frothy milk or hot water, the drip tray has been specially designed to allow you to fit a large cup under the steam nozzle or the super cappuccino accessory, once the magnetised box has been removed. The cup is ideally positioned to collect the frothy milk or the hot water produced by the nozzle or the super cappuccino accessory. Furthermore, you can use the box as storage for the super cappuccino accessory.
RECIPES MADE WITH MILK
Recipes made with the steam nozzle (depending on model): check before each preparation to make sure that it is locked properly by turning it completely to the right. Fig. 11.
The steam froths the milk. As steam production requires high temperatures, the appliance has an additional preheating phase.
When the screen displays the drink selection menu, press the "steam" button.
The screen indicates that the appliance is preheating and a message appears asking you to place a container under the steam spout. You can start the steam production by pressing the "OK" button.
MILK FROTH
Pour milk into your milk container. Only fill half way. Immerse the steam spout into the milk.
Fig. 12.
Press the steam button and follow the on-screen instructions.
To achieve a good result:
Stage 1: While holding the milk container, immerse the steam spout into the milk (about 2 cm) and wait for it to start frothing.
Stage 2: Raise the container slightly (about 1 cm). Never immerse the metal tube completely.
Stage 3: Lower the container gradually as the foam increases.
Press any button to stop the steam function. Caution, the cycle does not stop immediately.
When the spout is hot, handle using the plastic part only. Fig. 13.
To remove any trace of milk from the steam spout, place a container under the spout and press "hot water" for a few seconds.
The steam spout can be disassembled for thorough cleaning. Fig. 14.
Wash with water and a bit of non-abrasive washing up liquid using a brush. Rinse and dry. Fig. 15.
Before putting back into its place, make sure that the air holes are not blocked with milk residue. Unblock with the needle provided if necessary. Fig. 16.
SUPER CAPPUCCINO ACCESSORY (available depending on model)
Important: we recommend that you use pasteurised or UHT milk, recently opened. Unpasteurised milk does not produce the best results.
The super cappuccino accessory helps the preparation of a cappuccino or latte.
Preparing the appliance:
Connect the milk suction pipe to the super cappuccino accessory, on the unbevelled side. The inlet must not be twisted.
Fit the accessory on the steam outlet.
Enter the bevelled end of the suction pipe into a container filled with milk. Fig. 17.
Place a cup under the super cappuccino accessory.
Recipe stage 1:
Select the cappuccino ( ) or caffè latte ( ) position on the super cappuccino accessory.
Press "steam" to launch the pre-heating.
Possible settings
You can change the steam time using the - and + buttons located to the left and right of the symbols.
Press the "OK" button on the touch screen to launch the preparation.
Important: press any button to stop the steam function. Caution, the cycle does not stop immediately.
Recipe stage 2:
Place a cup under the coffee outlet and start a coffee/espresso cycle. Fig. 18. (See chapter: Preparing drinks using coffee beans).
Rinsing the accessory:
To ensure that the accessory functions correctly, rinse with water after each use. Your appliance will not ask you to do this. Carry out a steam cycle with a container filled with water in order to clean the accessory on the insideFig. 19.
To do this, you can also use the KRUPS liquid cleaner which is available as an accessory.
Maintenance and cleaning:
Remove the super cappuccino accessory and clean the parts using a small brush and, if appropriate, with a little washing-up liquidPay particular attention to cleaning the part circled in the photo. Fig. 20. The hole in the metal part should not be allowed to become blocked.
Hot water
Check that the super cappuccino accessory / steam nozzle is properly locked in place on its support.
When the screen displays the drink selection menu, press "HOT WATER". A message invites you to place a container under the steam spout and choose the volume.

Automatic clean programmes
Automatic clean programme for the coffee circuit
The machine will tell you when a clean programme is required. This clean must take place every 360 preparations approximately.
To perform the clean programme, you will need a container with a capacity of at least 0.6 l; this should be placed under the coffee outlets and a KRUPS cleaning tablet.
Follow the instructions on-screen. It is also possible to launch cleaning via the maintenance menu.
Important: you do not have to perform the clean programme immediately when the appliance requests this; however, you should do this as soon as possible. If cleaning is delayed, an alert message will remain on the screen until the operation is performed.
The automatic clean programme includes two phases: a clean and a rinse cycle; the programme takes about 13 minutes.
Important: if you disconnect your machine during cleaning or in the event of a power cut, the cleaning programme will resume the stage in progress during the incident. It will not be possible to delay this operation. It is mandatory due to water circuit rinse reasons. In this case, a new cleaning tablet may be required. Make sure the entire clean programme is completed to remove any traces of descaling product that may be hazardous to your health.
Do not place your hands under the coffee outlets during the cycle.
Automatic descale programme for the steam circuit
Caution: if your appliance is fitted with our Claris - Aqua Filter System cartridge, please remove this before descaling.
The machine will tell you when the descale programme is required. The frequency at which this programme needs to be run depends on the quality of the water used and whether the Claris Aqua Filter System filter is used or not (the more limescale in the water, the more descaling is required).
Important: you do not have to perform the descale programme immediately when the appliance requests this; however, you should do this as soon as possible. If descaling is delayed, an alert message will remain on the screen until the operation is performed.
Follow the instructions on-screen. It is also possible to launch descaling via the maintenance menu.
To carry out this descaling programme, you will need a container that can hold at least 0.6L, which must be placed under the steam nozzle and a sachet of KRUPS descaling agent (40 g).
The automatic descale programme includes three phases: one descaling cycle and two rinse cycles. The programme lasts approximately 20 min.
Important : if there is a power cut or you disconnect your machine, the cycle will relaunch the stage in progress when the incident occurred; this operation cannot be delayed. Make sure the entire cycle is completed to remove any traces of descaling product that may be hazardous to your health.
