Helpful Tips - Krups Pump espresso Manual

Use of freshly roasted coffee is recommended. Contact your coffee roaster for advice. The
freshness of the coffee only lasts several weeks after roasting. Good packaging can improve
and prolong the flavour of the coffee. If you are unsure of the quality of the packaging,
choose a recently roasted coffee.
Coffee must always be ground just before it is prepared.
What coffee should you choose?
„ For an aromatic coffee
Choose pure Arabica coffees or those composed mostly of Arabica coffee.
Artisan roasted coffees are preferred as they lend a better complexity and delicateness to
the flavour. For a variety of flavours, try pure origin coffees.
„ For an intense coffee
Choose coffees blended with Robusta – not specifically 100% Arabica – or Italian-roasted
coffees or specific Italian-flavoured coffees.
„ Keep the ground coffee in the fridge as this will lock in the flavour for longer.
„ Do not fill your filter holder to the brim; use the measuring spoon (1 spoon for a 50 ml cup,
2 spoons for 2 x 50 ml cups). Clean off any excess coffee from around the filter holder.
