Advice And Tips - Krups EA870810 Intuition Mode D'emploi

Dear Customer,
Thank you for purchasing your KRUPS espresso machine with bean grinder. Designed
and manufactured in France to give you "cafe" quality drinks with the greatest ease, your
KRUPS machine makes Espresso, Ristretto, and Lungo, and you can also manually make
milk froth to create other milk-based drinks: Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato, Café Latte, etc.
KRUPS has developed intuitive warning lights to make life easier. They will guide you in the
use of your machine and brighten up your coffee breaks.
Your KRUPS espresso machine is equipped with advanced technologies and an intuitive
touchscreen interface; in order to obtain the best extraction possible with total ease, to
reveal maximum aromas and flavours from the freshly ground coffee.
Because not all coffees are the same, you can customise your drinks:
– By changing the coffee beans (different origins or roasts), you can discover different
flavours. You will probably need to taste several different types to find the coffee
beans that suit your tastes.
– By varying the grinding fineness you can obtain coffee that is more or less full-bodied.
– By choosing your shot length and coffee strength, you'll always achieve the perfect
cup.
We wish you a great coffee experience and hope that you are completely satisfied with your
KRUPS machine.

Advice and Tips

– The quality of the water strongly influences the quality of the flavours. Limescale and
chlorine can alter the taste of coffee. We recommend that you use the Claris Aqua
Filter System cartridge, or bottled water with a dry residue content lower than 800
mg/L (look at the label on the bottle), in order to preserve the flavours of your coffee.
– When preparing drinks we recommend using preheated cups (by passing them under
hot water), their size adapted to your desired quantity.
– The roasted coffee beans can lose their flavour if they are not protected. We advise
you to use the amount of beans equivalent to your consumption over the coming 2-3
days and to choose 250 g bags.
– The quality of the coffee beans is variable and tastes are subjective. Arabica will give
you delicate, floral flavours, unlike Robusta, which is higher in caffeine, more bitter
and full-bodied. It is common to mix the two types of coffee to get a more balanced
coffee. Please do not hesitate to seek advice from your roaster.
– We do not recommend the use of oily and caramelised beans as these can damage
the machine.
– The fineness of the ground beans influences the strength of the flavours and the
quality of the crema. The more finely ground the beans, the smoother the crema.
Grinding can also be adapted for the desired drink.
