2. MAKING AN ESPRESSO

In order to release all the aromas of the coffee and ensure your complete satisfaction, this machine pre-infuses each coffee. The pump works 3 seconds, stops the following 3 seconds and then the cycle continues until the end of the preparation.

PREHEATING THE ACCESSORIES

￿For the best results, we recommend that you preheat the accessories (filter holder and cups) without ground coffee. To do so:

￿Fill the water tank and turn the machine on (fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4).

￿Put the filter holder in place, place the cups below.

￿As soon as the appliance reaches the required temperature, the light stops flashing.

￿Turn the switch to the “coffee” position (fig.8).

￿When the cups are filled with hot water, turn the switch to the "off" position (fig.9).

￿Remove the cups.

￿Unlock the filter holder: press “OPEN” while turning the filter holder to the left and remove it from the machine (fig. 10).

Note: When the appliance is hot, the espresso cups can be preheated on the cup warming plate.

WITH ESPRESSO GROUND COFFEE

￿Fill the water tank and turn the machine on (fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4). During the pre-heating phase, the indicator lamp will flash.

￿Using the measuring spoon, place the espresso ground coffee in the filter holder: one spoon (full to the brim) per cup (fig.5).

￿Remove the excess espresso ground coffee from the edge of the filter.The type of coffee you choose will determine the strength and taste of your espresso.

IMPORTANT:

Do not tamp the coffee down in the filter holder. The coffee is automatically tamped using the KTS “Krups Tamping System”.

￿Only use Espresso Ground Coffee. Do not use any other coffee such as instant coffee.

￿Insert the filter holder in the appliance by turning it to the right as far as it will go, up to the stop (fig.7).

￿Put one or two cups under the filter holder.

￿As soon as the appliance reaches the required temperature, the light stops flashing.

￿Turn the switch to the “coffee” position (fig.8).

￿When you have the desired amount of coffee, turn the switch to the "off" position (fig.9)

￿Unlock the filter holder: press “OPEN” while turning the filter holder to the left and remove it from the machine (fig. 10).

Remove the grounds using the ejection system by pressing the "EJECT" button located between the two coffee outlet nozzles (fig.11). Wash the filter under running water, pressing "EJECT" to eliminate the remnants of grounds.

The filter holder now can be filled again to prepare other espressos.

WITH AN “E.S.E." ESPRESSO POD

“ESE” for “Easy Serving Espresso" is a packaged pod (44 mm diameter) of 7g of selected coffee, ground and compacted between two paper filters, specially designed to make Italian style ristretto (small and strong) espressos.
