Espresso coffee Espresso coffee is richer in aroma and stronger than normal coffee. It is drunk from small preheated espresso cups. Hot water is passed through the ground coffee to obtain this delicious black coffee. 28/01/05, 13:56 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. If you cannot buy espresso ground coffee, use a coffee grinder to grind the beans. 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. 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. 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. Before first using your machine 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: • Open the lid and lift out the water tank using the handle (1). Fill with water (2). • Replace the tank, positioning it firmly to ensure that water can enter, and close the lid (3). • Press the Start/Stop switch (4) whereby the blue operating control lamp blinks. Two filters are kept in the tank lid. • Place one of the filters in the filter holder (5). Then put the filter holder on the appliance’s brewing head. • 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). • Place a container, as large as possible, beneath the filter holder (8). XP 4050_Europe.P65 15 • As soon as the blue operating control lamp glows continuously, The appliance is ready to operate. (10) • Pressing the double coffee button will now cause water to run through the water circuit. Repeat this process five times. As an optional extra, there is a filter cartridge available (N° art. F088 not delivered with the appliance). Using the various functions of your espresso machine 1. MAKING AN ESPRESSO .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). • Put the filter holder in place (6) (7), and place one or two cups underneath. • As soon as the control lamp on the coffee buttons glows continuously, the appliance is ready to operate.

(9) (10). • Pressing the coffee keys or • At the beginning, there is a pre brewing time lasting 2 or 3 seconds. • When the programmed quantity is reached, the espresso stops running automatically. • Remove the filter holder and the filter from the machine and take out the coffee grounds (14). The filter can be refilled to make more espressos. . 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) «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. 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. For best results, we recommend that you preheat the accessories (filter holder, filter and cups) without any coffee. Do this as described in the Making an Espresso using Espresso Ground Coffee section. . Preparing an espresso: • Fill the water tank (1) (2) (3) and start the appliance (4). • Place the ESE serving in the ESE filter (18).

As soon as the control lamp on the coffee buttons glows continuously, the appliance is ready to operate. • Press the coffee key (9). • At the beginning, there is a pre-brewing time lasting 2 or 3 seconds. • When the recommended quantity of coffee has been reached (35ml), press the coffee button (9) if suitable volume was not preprogrammed. • 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: • 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). • Remove any ground coffee which is lying around the filter (13). • Replace the filter holder (6) (7). • 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. • Hold down either the one or two cups key or (9) (10) (for at least 3 sec) , the two lamps (coffee key and operating control) blink. 28/01/05, 13:56 When the desired quantity of espresso has run through, you stop by pressing the coffee key or (9) (10).

STEAM FUNCTION 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. 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 The auto cappuccino accessory makes it easy to produce frothy milk for making a cappuccino, a latte or a hot chocolate. • Fill the water tank (1) (2) (3) and start the appliance (4). • Put the auto cappuccino accessory in place on the steam nozzle. • 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. • 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.

Maintenance - 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 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 nonabrasive washing-up liquid, rinse and dry.

Descaling • Descaling of your espresso should be done fairly frequently with citric or tartaric acid. • 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. 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. - 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. • start the appliance (4). • 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 • Pressing the hot water button (15), run through 1/3 of the liquid. • Then, pressing the hot water button (15) to stop. • Move the container under the brewing head. • Run the second third of the liquid immediately by pressing the coffee button (10) as many times as necessary. 28/01/05, 13:56 • Stop the appliance by pressing the start/stop switch (4) and wait for 10 - 15 minutes to allow the descaler to take effect. • Next, start the machine again (4) and allow the rest of the liquid to run through by (10) as pressing the coffee button many times as necessary. • Then rinse with two water tanks of fresh water, clean the brewing head and replace the grid on the head of the appliance (see paragraph on maintenance). • The guarantee does not include espresso machines which do not function, or do not function properly, because descaling has not been carried out.

Here are a few recipes which you will be able to create with your espresso machine. . Original espresso • Take one measuring spoonful of good quality well roasted espresso coffee, and filter it directly into the pre-heated cup. If you use good, finely ground espresso coffee, the cup will be crowned by a fine head of froth. • Add sugar if desired and treat yourself. Original espresso is drunk without milk but plenty of sugar. . 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. • 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 cappuccino accessory. • Lastly, sprinkle with drinking chocolate powder. . Café crème • Prepare a classic espresso in a large cup. • Add a cloud of cream to make an espresso with milk. You can also replace the cream with hot milk. XP 4050_Europe.P65 20 .

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. • Leave the mixture to soak for at least 2 weeks. You will then have a delicious liqueur, especially for coffee lovers. .
