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 appliances 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  
appliances 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).  
 
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.  
. Preparing an espresso:  
• Hold down either the one or two cups key

key  
(16) to stop.  
The tapping noise which occurs while steam is  
being produced comes from the intermittent  
operation of the pump and has no effect on  
the proper working of the appliance.  
Next, clean the auto cappuccino accessory  
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  
on the steam nozzle.  
If you wish to make an espresso immediately  
after steam, the appliance must first be  
allowed to cool down in order to achieve the  
correct temperature for preparing an espresso.  
• Place a cup under the auto cappuccino  
accessory.  
Pour about 100 ml of very fresh, very cold  
milk into a container. The milk and its  
container must be well chilled.  
Appliance automatically cools down when  
pressing the coffee button (one or two cups)  
- When cooling down, the blue operating  
control blinks and hot water flows into drip  
tray. When correct temperature is reached,  
appliance will run espresso cycle.  
• Insert the flexible tube into this container or  
directly into the milk carton (17).  
Please note the straight cut end of tube must  
fit inside auto cappuccino device and the  
irregular end dipped in milk.  
 
Please note the direction of fitting the flexible  
tube : engage the straight-cut end in the auto  
cappuccino Accessory.  
• 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  
only.  
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.  
• Place a container, as large as possible,  
beneath the auto cappuccino accessory.  
As soon as the blue operating control lamp  
glows continuously, the appliance is ready  
. The cup warming plate: remove this to  
clean it with water and a little non-abrasive

• Then slightly ‘correct’ the taste by adding  
1/4 or 1/2 a glass of cognac.  
0845 602 1454 - UK  
(01) 4751947 - Ireland  
You can also use anisette, grappa, Sambuco,  
Kirsch or Cointreau for the same effect.  
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.  
 
Add the cold espresso and orange liqueur.  
Then mix in the fresh whipped cream.  
Pour the mixture into cups or glasses.  
Put the cups into the freezer.
