Krups 872 guide

Preparing espresso or cappuccino is different than brewing regular drip coffee. One main difference is that water will come to a boil and will be forced through ground coffee. An Espresso machine works under pressure and needs special attention. Read all instructions, Cautions, Notes and Attentions.

We recommend that you get familiar with all the parts of your “Espresso Bravo Plus” before operating the machine:

Insert the filter basket in the filter holder, fit the filter holder into the filter rings, remove and replace the boiler cap. Switch the selector switch to the three different positions. Wash all loose parts in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly and dry.

A CAUTION - PRESSURE:

NEVER open boiler cap or remove the filter holder (c) while your “Espresso Bravo Plus” is turned “ON” or as long as there is pressure in the boiler container.

NEVER move or remove the filter holder while the “Espresso Bravo Plus” is in operation and under pressure.

Please follow the instructions listed below to see if the machine is still under pressure. Follow these safety precautions while your machine is in use and ten to fifteen minutes after last use.

1.Turn the selector switch to the “0” position.

2.Unplug machine.

3.Hold a pitcher with cold water underneath the steam nozzle and insert the nozzle into the pitcher.

4.Once the steam nozzle is immersed in the pitcher of water, turn the selector switch to the I @ ” position until steam no longer comes out.

5.Turn the selector switch back to the “0” position.

6.Now you can remove the boiler cap and filter holder.

In case there is water left in the boiler turn the machine upside down to empty the boiler.

Be careful, the water can still be hot.

Always use caution when operating the boiler cap and remove it slowly.

Espresso is a far richer and stronger brew than regular coffee. It should be deep, dark and delicious. Most people find that they enjoy it in small quantities because of its richness, and for that reason, espresso is usually served in small (2-2 l/2 oz) demitasse cups.

The mark of real espresso is its wonderful inviting fragrance and its rich flavor. Your “Espresso Bravo Plus” properly used, will always produce espresso that is deep, dark, and delicious. Just follow the instructions and use fresh, well roasted, pre-ground espresso or espresso beans you grind yourself.

1.Place your ‘Espresso Bravo Plus” near an electrical outlet, and plug in the machine. Make sure the selector switch (k) is in the OFF position “0”.

2.Place your filter basket (i) into the filter holder (cl (see figure 1).

The basket is marked on the inside indicating 2 cups or 4 cups.

3.Fill the filter basket with ground espresso coffee. Pack the coffee lightly and clear any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder. This will ensure a proper fit into the filter rings (see figure 2).

ATTENTION:

Do not pack coffee tightly.

Do not fill more coffee than indicated by the ~-CUP marking. This might cause clogging or overflow (see under section “Problems and Causes”).
