"E.S.E.", which stands for "Easy Serving
Espresso", is a selected measure of coffee,
ground and pressed between two filter
papers making a coffee pod which is ready

" e.s.e. "
filter
The E.S.E. system was designed for making
Italian-style "espresso ristretto" or "short
espresso".
We do not intend, or recommend, that
the E.S.E. servings be used for making
more then one single serving or a "long
espresso".
We recommend that you take care when
handling and storing the E.S.E. pre-por-
tioned pods so that they do not become
deformed.
For best results, we recommend that you
pre-heat the accessories (filter holder, filter
basket and cups) without any coffee. To do
this, see section entitled "Espresso Making"
above.
. Preparing an espresso:
• Fill the water tank (1) (2) (3) and turn on
the machine (4).
Setting the E.S.E. pod (18).
Tear excess paper from pod at perforated
edge. Place the E.S.E. pod with the RED
MARKING FACE DOWN (bend the paper
corners down) in the E.S.E. filter holder
fitted with its own filter.
• Take care to put all the paper inside the
filter or you may have some drips.
Placing the E.S.E. pod correctly will create a
richer, thicker crema.
Locking the handle tightly and properly will
also help avoid leakage from the filter holder
and ensure a better brewing cycle.
Place the filter holder inside the brewing
head and firmly turn the handle as far right
as possible (6) (7) (8).
As soon as the coffee selection buttons
commence to glow continuously, the
machine is ready to operate.
• Press the single serving coffee button
(9). Take the pre-brewing into account.
• When the recommended quantity of coffee
has been reached (35ml), press the coffee
button (9) again if suitable volume was
not preprogrammed.
• Remove the filter holder from the brewing
head and throw away the used coffee pod.
NOTE: All pods (such as those sold by
Starbucks  and Illy ) can be used in your
Krups XP 4050 as long as they are E.S.E.
standard pods.
