Safety recommendations
• Do not leave the appliance in the reach of
unsupervised children - young children and
severely handicapped persons must only use
the appliance under the supervision of a
responsible adult.
• Please read these instructions carefully
before first using your espresso. The
appliance must only be connected to the
mains via an earthed plug. Check that the
voltage shown on the appliance’s indicator
plate corresponds to that of your electricity
system.
• This product has been designed for domestic
use only. Any commercial use, inappropriate
use or failure to comply with the instruc-
tions, the manufacturer accepts no
responsibility and the guarantee will not
apply.
It complies with the requirements of the EEC
Directive (89/336/EEC) and (72/23/EEC).
• Never put your espresso on a hot surface
(electric warming plate, for example) or close
to a flame. Place on a flat, stable heat-
resistant surface.
Espresso coffee
Espresso coffee is richer in aroma and stronger
than normal coffee. It is drunk from small pre-
heated espresso cups. Hot water is passed
through the ground coffee to obtain this
delicious black coffee.
• Never remove the filter holder containing
the coffee grounds while water is being
passed through, since the appliance is under
pressure at this time.

You can recognise an espresso by its
characteristic aroma and its typical crema. But
this requires high pressure and an excellent
fresh espresso coffee which has been well
roasted and correctly ground.
•As soon as the blue operating control lamp
glows continuously,
The appliance is ready to operate.
• Pressing the double coffee button
(10)
will now cause water to run through the
water circuit.
If you cannot buy espresso ground coffee, use
a coffee grinder to grind the beans.
Repeat this process five times.
So as to obtain a sufficient crema with a good
colour, it is normal that the flow rate of the
coffee is slower than with a filter coffee
machine.
As an optional extra, there is a filter
cartridge available (N° art. F088 not
delivered with the appliance).
To guarantee complete success for your
espresso, you must also use freshly-drawn
water (so that it has not had time to stagnate
in the air), without any chlorine odour and at
a fairly cold temperature.
Using the various functions of
your espresso machine
1. MAKING AN ESPRESSO
The coffee must not be ground too fine. It
must be slightly granulated. If it is too fine,
you risk blocking the grid of the brewing
head and the filter. Only use Espresso ground
coffee. Do not use any other type of coffee
such as filter, cafetiere, instant etc.
.WITH ESPRESSO GROUND COFFEE
For best results, we recommend that you first
pre-heat the accessories (filter holder, filter
and cups) without putting in ground
coffee. To do this :
•Fill the water tank (1) (2) (3) and start the
appliance (4).
Before first using your machine
•Put the filter holder in place (6) (7), and
place one or two cups underneath.
Before using your appliance for the first time,
clean the water heating system, without
coffee in the filter holder, filling the water
tanks once or twice, as follows:
•As soon as the control lamp on the coffee
buttons glows continuously, the appliance is
ready to operate.
•Open the lid and lift out the water tank
using the handle (1). Fill with water (2).
• Press the coffee keys or
(9) (10).
• The cups will be filled with hot water then
empty them.
•Replace the tank, positioning it firmly to
ensure that water can enter, and close the
lid (3).
Once the appliance is hot, the espresso cups
can then be pre-heated on the cup warming
plate.
• Press the Start/Stop switch (4) whereby the
blue operating control lamp blinks. Two
filters are kept in the tank lid.
. Preparing an espresso :
•Fill the water tank (1) (2) (3) and start the
appliance (4).
•Place one of the filters in the filter holder
(5). Then put the filter holder on the
appliance’s brewing head.
•Put the filter for one or two cups into the
filter holder (5).
•To ensure that the filter holder is in the
correct position, turn the handle so it points
to the left (6), place the filter holder flat
against the brewing head, then turn the
handle towards the right (7) as far as it can
go (may not be at right-angles).
•Put one or two measures of ground coffee
into the filter with the measuring spoon and
tamp down using the measuring spoon (11)
(12).
•Remove any ground coffee which is lying
around the filter (13).
•Place a container, as large as possible,
beneath the filter holder (8).
•Replace the filter holder (6) (7).
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
•Place one or two espresso cups beneath the
filter holder.
Tear excess paper from the pod at the
perforated edge. Place the ESE pod with the
RED MARKING FACE DOWN (bend the paper
corners down).
As soon as the control lamp on the coffee
buttons glows continuously, the appliance is
ready to operate.
•Take care to put all the paper inside the filter
to avoid any drips.
Your appliance is already preprogrammed for
the preparation of one or two cups of
espresso.
Placing the ESE pod correctly will create a
richer, thicker crema.
• Put the filter holder in place (6) (7) (8) by
pressing it firmly to the right.
•Pressing the coffee keys or
(9) (10).
•At the beginning, there is a pre brewing
time lasting 2 or 3 seconds.
As soon as the control lamp on the coffee
buttons glows continuously, the appliance is
ready to operate.
•When the programmed quantity is reached,
the espresso stops running automatically.
• Press the coffee key (9).
• Remove the filter holder and the filter from
the machine and take out the coffee
grounds (14).
• At the beginning, there is a pre-brewing
time lasting 2 or 3 seconds.
The filter can be refilled to make more
espressos.
• When the recommended quantity of coffee
has been reached (35ml), press the coffee
button (9) if suitable volume was not
preprogrammed.
. WITH THE SPECIAL «ESE» FILTER
The E.S.E. system was designed for making
Italian-style espresso ristreto (squeezed). The
amount of coffee is 35 ml and the water
should take 20 seconds to run through.
(see Individual Programming to adjust volume)
• Remove the filter holder from the brewing
head and throw away the used measure.
. Individual Programming:
Should you wish to alter the preprogrammed
quantity (50ml per cup, manufacturing
setting) of hot espresso filled into one or two
cups, proceed as follows:
«ESE», which stands for «Easy Serving
Espresso» , is a selected measure of coffee,
ground and pressed between two filter papers
making it ready for use. This system makes it
easy for you to prepare your espresso because
you avoid the measurement and tamping
down operations and it also makes it easier
for you to clean the appliance.
• Fill the water tank (1) (2) (3) and start the
appliance (4).
• Put the filter for one or two cups into the
filter holder (5).
• Put one or two measures of ground coffee
into the filter with the measuring spoon and
tamp down using the measuring spoon (11)
(12) or a ESE pod in the ESE filter (18).
We do not intend, or recommend, that
the ESE servings are used for making a
long coffee.
We recommend that you take care, when
handling and storing the ESE servings, that
they do not become deformed.
• Remove any ground coffee which is lying
around the filter (13).
• Replace the filter holder (6) (7).
For best results, we recommend that you pre-
heat the accessories (filter holder, filter and
cups) without any coffee. Do this as described
in the Making an Espresso using Espresso
Ground Coffee section.
• Place one or two cups beneath the filter
holder.
• As soon as the control lamp on the coffee
buttons glows continuously, the appliance is
ready to operate.

with a damp cloth.
For more thorough cleaning of the auto
cappuccino accessory, please refer to the
paragraph on maintenance.
Beware: during and after use of the machine,
the metallic parts of the auto cappuccino
accessory can become burning hot.
. Using the auto cappuccino accessory
. Hot chocolate
The auto cappuccino accessory makes it easy
to produce frothy milk for making a cappuc-
cino, a latte or a hot chocolate.
•Repeat the same procedure as below after
changing the milk with a chocolate beverage
you want to heat up.
•Fill the water tank (1) (2) (3) and start the
appliance (4).
• If your espresso machine is ready for steam -
for 5 min without use, the appliance
switches automatically to coffee stand by.
•Put the auto cappuccino accessory in place

• If your espresso machine runs short of
water, a sonor signal and all leds blinking
incite you to fill the water tank.
• Your espresso machine switches to stand by
mode after 30 mn for energy saving and
switches off after 1H 30 of none use.
Descaling
•Descaling of your espresso should be done
fairly frequently with citric or tartaric acid.
Maintenance
• Due to the acid substance, we recommend
protecting your your worktop and sink unit
during the descaling process, especially if it
is made of marble or stone. Isolate your
espresso with a tea towel, a tablecloth or a
tray.
- Never wash your espresso machine
accessories in the dishwasher.
After use, the water tank must be emptied.
. Drip tray
This must be emptied after using the
However, we would advise you to use the
Krups descaling accessory, reference F054,
which is available from Krups after-sales
service centres. This accessory includes, apart
from two descaling doses, a testing strip for
water hardness to assess the frequency of
descaling of your appliance in normal use.
Descaling depends on the hardness of the
water, but also on the use cycle. The
frequency of descaling indicated by the F054
accessory is thus given by way of indication

appliance after taking off the grid (19). If
several espressos are being prepared one after
the other, the drip tray should be emptied
from time to time (about once every 7 - 8
espressos). The presence of water is normal
and does not signify a leak. If necessary, clean
the drip tray and its grid with water and a
little non-abrasive washing-up liquid, rinse
and dry. Replace it correctly (20).
. The brewing head, the filter and the
filter holder
These must be cleaned after each use. All you
need to do is wipe a damp cloth over the
brewing head of your appliance and to wash
the other accessories in water and a little non-
abrasive washing-up liquid, rinse and dry.
- Then follow the following method:
•Unscrew the grid from the head of the
appliance and clean it (21).
•Dissolve a sachet of KRUPS descaling
accessory, reference F054, in half a litre of
lukewarm water and pour the whole
amount into the empty water tank.
If the brewing head is heavily clogged up,
unscrew the grid, clean it and refit it, pressing
down firmly (21).
• start the appliance (4).
When your espresso is not being used, do not
leave the filter holder on the appliance to
prevent wear on the gasket.

And there must be countless other possibilities
for «enriching» an espresso. Let your imagina-
tion run wild.
Recipes
. Coffee Liqueur *
• Mix in an empty 0.75 litre bottle: 3 cups of
espresso, 250 g brown cane sugar, 1/2 litre
cognac or Kirsch.
Savour your espresso just as you like it: when
you want to relax or to round off a good
meal.
• Leave the mixture to soak for at least 2
weeks.
Here are a few recipes which you will be able
to create with your espresso machine.
You will then have a delicious liqueur,
especially for coffee lovers.
. Original espresso
. Iced coffee à l’italienne
•Take one measuring spoonful of good
quality well roasted espresso coffee, and
filter it directly into the pre-heated cup.
4 vanilla ice cubes, 2 cups of cold sugared
espresso, 1/8 litre milk, fresh cream, grated
chocolate.
If you use good, finely ground espresso coffee,
the cup will be crowned by a fine head of
froth.
• Mix the cold espresso with milk.
• Distribute the ice cubes among the glasses,
pour the coffee over them and decorate
with fresh cream and grated chocolate.
•Add sugar if desired and treat yourself.
Original espresso is drunk without milk but
plenty of sugar.
. Friesian coffee *
• Add a small glass of rum to a sugared cup of
espresso.
. Cappuccino
For a state of the art cappuccino, the ideal
quantities are as follows: 1/3 coffee, 1/3 hot
milk, 1/3 frothy milk. The quantity of hot milk
+ froth obtained should be about double the
amount of coffee prepared.
• Decorate with a good layer of fresh cream
and serve.
. Espresso flambé*
2 cups of espresso, 2 small glasses of cognac,
2 teaspoonfuls of brown sugar, fresh cream.
•Use large cups which have been pre-heated.
•Fill them with coffee to the equivalent of one
cup of espresso and top up with milk which
has been frothed up using the auto cappuc-
cino accessory.
• Pour the cognac into heat-resistant glasses,
heat and flame.
• Add sugar, mix, pour the coffee and
decorate with fresh cream.
•Lastly, sprinkle with drinking chocolate
powder.
If you like, the espresso can also be diluted
with a little boiling water.
. Café crème
. Perfect espresso *
•Prepare a classic espresso in a large cup.
2 cups of espresso, 6 egg yolks, 200g sugar,
1/8 litre sugared fresh cream, 1 small glass of
orange liqueur.
•Add a cloud of cream to make an espresso
with milk.
• Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until it
forms a thick foamy mass.
You can also replace the cream with hot milk.
