1.1 Information on espresso coffee

Dear Customer,
Thank you for having purchased this Krups Automatic. We are sure you will enjoy both the quality of the
coffee it makes and how easy it is to use.
Whether you want a short, strong shot of a ristretto, a good espresso, a larger and milder lungo, or a
creamy cappuccino, your automatic coffee / espresso machine has been designed so you can enjoy the
same quality at home as at the bistro, whatever the time of day and right through the week.
Thanks to its Thermoblock System, its 15 bar pump and because it uses real coffee beans that are
ground just before the coffee is made, your Krups Automatic will give you a drink containing maximum
aroma, with a fine creamy golden brown top produced by the natural oils contained in coffee beans.
Drink your espresso from small porcelain cups rather than the usual coffee cup or mug. To obtain an es-
presso at just the right temperature and a nice compact creamy top, we advise you to pre-heat your
cup.
After a few trial runs you will find the type of mix and roast of the coffee beans that suits your taste. The
quality of the water used is obviously another essential factor in the coffee you get. Make sure the water
is fresh from the tap (contact with the air tends to make it stale), that it is free from chlorine odours and
relatively cold.
Espresso coffee is richer in aroma than a conventional filter coffee. Despite its stronger, longer lasting
taste, espresso in fact contains less caffeine than filter coffee (about 60 to 80 mg a cup as compared with
80 to 100 mg a cup). This is due to the shorter percolation time.
Due to the visibility of the containers and its automatic cleaning and scale removal programs, your Es-
presseria Automatic is extremely easy to use.

1.2 Automatic espresso machines energy saver mode

Your automatic espresso machine has an energy saver mode.
The display panel dims when your appliance has not been used for a few minutes. The machine leaves
the energy-saving mode when you use the machine again. The display fully lights up again and your au-
tomatic machine is ready for use after pre-heating, if necessary.
