1 Important information on the appliance and instructions

You will find in this manual all of the important information concerning the prepara-
tion, use and maintenance of your automatic espresso/coffee maker. Important sa-
fety guidelines are also included.
Read these instructions carefully before using the appliance for the first time and
keep them: Krups may not be held responsible for any incorrect use.

1.1 Your Automatic Espresseria

Espresso or lungo, ristretto or cappuccino, your automatic espresso/coffee
maker has been designed to allow you to taste the same coffee at home as in
a coffee bar at any time of the day. With its Thermoblock System, 15 bar
pump and using only freshly ground coffee, your Automatic Espresseria will
allow you to make a full flavoured drink, topped with a deliciously thick, golden
froth, a product that comes from the natural oil of the coffee beans. Espresso
coffee has a richer aroma than a normal, filter coffee. In spite of its stronger
taste, stronger initially and longer lasting, espresso coffee in fact contains less
caffeine than filter coffee (approximately 20 mg less per cup). This is due to
the shorter percolation.
With its simplicity of use, the visibility of its tank/holder and its automatic clea-
ning and descaling programmes, your Automatic Espresseria will prove very
easy to use.
