Your Krups espresso machine is equipped with a filter-holder that has three patented systems designed
to help you make the perfect espresso at home.
1. KRUPS Precise Tamp: gradual tamping of the espresso ground coffee as the filter-holder is turned
ensures that coffee is tamped precisely each time.
2. Coffee ejection system under the filter-holder for clean removal of the cake each time.
3. The filter-holder is compatible with all types of pods including E.S.E. and soft pods.
The filter-holder is also removable and can be frequently cleaned to maintain the filter-holder system in
perfect working order. For your safety, the filter-holder is equipped with a locking system when pressure
rises.

3. TIPS

To extract the fullest flavor from your beans, we recommend using whole coffee beans that have
been freshly ground each time espresso is prepared. Take care to make sure your coffee is ground
to the proper size for espresso. Too fine a grind will result in espresso that is over-extracted and
bitter. Too coarse a grind will result in espresso that is under-extracted and weak in flavor. The
perfect espresso grind will feel like fine grains that do not clump when pressed together.
Store your espresso grounds in an airtight container, and in a cool, dry place to retain the flavor.
