Krups EA816170R Instructions Manual page 24

Dear Customer,
Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of an Espresso Automatic EA815-EA816-EA817 Series.
With your machine, you can make a wide range of drinks: espressos, coffees or ristrettos, completely au-
tomatically. You can also make milk-based drinks such as cappuccinos. It has been designed so that you
can enjoy restaurant quality coffee at home, whatever the time of the day and every day of the week. You
will appreciate its ease-of-use and the quality of your cup of coffee. You can set the amount, strength and
temperature of your drinks.
Thanks to its Compact Thermoblock System with built-in percolation chamber, its 15 bar pump, and because
it uses coffee beans which have been freshly ground just before making the coffee, your machine will give
you hot ristrettos, espressos and coffees from the first cup with maximum aroma and a creamy golden-brown
froth.
To give the drink maximum flavour, an espresso is traditionally served in a small, flared porcelain cup. For an
optimum temperature espresso and a dense creamy froth, we recommend that you pre-heat your cup.
You will probably need to try several types of coffee before you find the one that suits you.
By experimenting with the blend and/or roast, you will eventually arrive at the ideal result.
Espresso coffee has a richer aroma than classic filter coffee. Despite its stronger taste which remains longer
on the palate, an espresso contains less caffeine than filter coffee (around 60 to 80 mg per cup compared
to 80 to 100 mg per cup) due to its shorter percolation period.
The quality of water used is another determining factor which affects the overall quality of the brewed coffee.
You should ideally use water which is fresh from the tap (so that it hasn't had time to stagnate due to air
contact), which is cold and which does not smell of chlorine.
The ergonomic, compact LCD display makes the machine easy to use. It will guide you through each step,
from preparing your drink to servicing your machine.
We wish you many years of enjoyment with your Krups machine.
The Krups team
