and turn the dial back to the "coffee" position. Repeat as necessary until the water tank is empty.
Once all the water has been drained from the water tank, remove and empty the container, press the
"open" button on the filter holder and turn the filter holder handle to the left to remove (fig.10).

5. MAKING AN ESPRESSO

In order to extract the maximum flavor from the beans, this machine pre-infuses each cup. The pump works
for 3 seconds, pauses for 3 seconds, and then continues until the cup is finished.
PREHEATING THE ACCESSORIES
For the best results, we recommend that you preheat the filter holder before espresso grounds are added,
and warm the cups.
Fill the water tank with fresh cold water and turn the machine on (fig 1-4).
Put the filter holder in place, place the cups below.
As soon as the required temperature is achieved, the light will stop flashing.
Turn the dial to the "coffee" position (fig.8).
When the cups are filled with hot water, turn the dial to the "off" position (fig.9).
Remove the cups, taking care to not spill the water.
Unlock the filter holder by pressing the "OPEN" button on the handle while turning the handle to the
left to release, and remove the filter holder from the machine (fig.10).
Note: Use the cup warming tray to warm espresso cups.
WITH GROUND COFFEE
The type of coffee you choose strongly influences the strength and flavor of your espresso.
Always use coffee beans 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. Grounds should not be kept for long periods of time as the flavor will be reduced over
time.
Do not use instant coffee, or coffee for drip coffee machines.
Fill the water tank to the maximum line with fresh cold water and turn the machine on (fig. 1-4). While
the machine is preheating, the light will flash. Using the measuring spoon, add 1 level spoon of
espresso grounds per cup of espresso (fig.5). Remove any excess espresso grounds from the edge
of the filter.
Important: Do not tamp the coffee down in the filter holder. The coffee is automatically
tamped to the optimum level by the Krups Precise Tamp (KPT) system.
Insert the filter holder and turn the handle to the right as far as it will go. You will hear a clicking sound
as the Krups Precise Tamp (KPT) system automatically adjusts the tamping level depending on the
amount of coffee grounds used. The handle will become progressively harder to turn as you approach
the optimum tamping level, do not force the handle past this point. Use the "one cup" and "two cup"
markings on the brewing head as a guideline of where to stop. Because the Krups Precise Tamp
automatically adjusts the tamping level, you may find that you do not always stop at the same point each
time. Never turn the handle past the far right edge of the "one cup"marking (fig.7).
Put one or two cups under the filter holder as desired (fig.8).
