1.2 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 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 Krups Automatic will give you a drink containing maxi-
mum 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 make.
And make sure the water used is fresh out of the tap (contact with the air tends to make it stagnate),
that it is free from chlorine odours and cold.
Espresso coffee is richer in aroma than a conventional filter coffee. Despite its stronger, longer-las-
ting taste, espresso in fact contains less caffeine than filter coffee (about 60 to 80 mg per cup as com-
pared with 80 to 100 mg per 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
Krups Automatic is extremely easy to use.
