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 bigger 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 Espresseria 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 espresso 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 has come fresh out of the tap (contact with the air tends to make it stagnate), 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 Espresseria Automatic is extremely easy to use. Important: Safety instructions Read the instructions for use carefully before first using your appliance and keep them for reference: Incorrect use of the appliance will release KRUPS from any responsibility. Place on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. Connect the appliance only to an earthed mains socket. Check that the power supply voltage shown on the appliance's rating plate corresponds to that of your electrical installation. Make certain not to place the appliance on a hot surface such as a hot-plate or use it close to a bare flame. Immediately take the plug out of the socket if you notice any problem while coffee is being made. Do not pull the power supply cord to remove the plug. Do not let the power supply cord hang down from a table or work surface. Do not put your hand or the power supply cord on the hot parts of the appliance. Never soak the appliance, the power cord or the electric plug in water or any other liquid. Keep the appliance out of reach of children and do not let the power supply cord hang down. Do not use the appliance if the power supply cord or the appliance itself is damaged. For safety reasons, do not use the appliance if the power supply cord or plug are damaged. Only have the power supply cord replaced by an authorised KRUPS service centre. Always refer to the instructions when removing scale from the appliance. Protect the appliance against humidity and freezing. Do not use the appliance if it does not run correctly or if it has been damaged. In this case, have the appliance examined by a KRUPS authorized service centre (see list in KRUPS Service handbook). Apart from cleaning and scale removal in accordance with the appliance's user instructions, any intervention on the appliance must be performed by a certified KRUPS service centre.

To determine the water hardness, use the measuring stick delivered with the appliance or get in contact with your water board. The appliance will ask you for the hardness of your water on first use (see First use / Setting machine parameters section) Degree of hardness °f ° dH ° TH very soft <5,4° <3° <3,75° 0 soft >7,2° >4° >5° 1 moderately hard >12,6° >7° >8,75° 2 hard >25,2° >14° >17,5° 3 extremely hard > 37,8° > 21° > 26,25° 4 0 1 sec. Fill a glass with water and immerse a stick in it 1 2 3 4 After 1 minute the hardness measurement will appear (moderately hard water) CLARIS - AQUA FILTER SYSTEM F 088 CARTRIDGE (SOLD SEPARATELY) To get the best taste from your coffee and extend your appliance's service life, we advise you to use the Claris - Aqua Filter System cartridge sold as an accessory. It comprises a scale-removing substance and activated carbon that reduces chlorine, impurities, lead, copper, pesticides, etc. that are present in the water. Minerals and trace elements will then be preserved. F 088 Filter the water using the Claris - Aqua Filter System cartridge to reduce carbonate hardness by as much as 75 %* Chlorine ­ up to 85 %* Lead ­ up to 90 %* Copper ­ up to 95 %* Aluminium ­ up to 67 %* Mechanism to memorise the month the cartridge was fitted and when to replace it (after 2 months at most). Installing the cartridge in the machine. On first use, screw the filter cartridge into the bottom of the water tank. To fit the cartridge, also refer to the "First use" section.
