1 Important information on the appliance and instructions

You will find in this manual all of the important information concerning the preparation,
use and maintenance of your automatic espresso/coffee maker. Important safety gui-
delines are also included.
Read these instructions carefully before using the appliance for the first time and keep
them: Krups may not be held responsible for any incorrect use.

1.1 Your Automatic Espresseria

Espresso or lungo, ristretto or cappuccino, your automatic espresso/coffee maker has
been designed to allow you to taste the same coffee at home as in a coffee bar at any
time of the day. With its Thermoblock System, 15 bar pump and using only freshly
ground coffee, your Automatic Espresseria will allow you to make a full flavoured drink,
topped with a deliciously thick, golden froth, a product that comes from the natural oil
of the coffee beans. Espresso coffee has a richer aroma than a normal, filter coffee. In
spite of its stronger taste, stronger initially and longer lasting, espresso coffee in fact
contains less caffeine than filter coffee (approximately 20 mg less per cup). This is due
to the shorter percolation.
With its simplicity of use, the visibility of its tank/holder and its automatic cleaning and
descaling programmes, your Automatic Espresseria will prove very easy to use.
