Remove the filter holder and the filter from
the machine, and take out the coffee
grounds
(14)
. Use caution not to
accidentally discard the filter basket.
The filter basket can be refilled to make more
espressos.
Caution: if the water container is empty
and the pump is running, you will hear a
very distinct noise, which is louder than
the normal operating sound. If this
happens, turn the machine “off”. Check
the water container and refill as needed.
Never let the pump run when the water
container is empty as this can damage the
pump.
If you are preparing more than one cup of
espresso, disregard the orange thermostat
light. It simply indicates that the thermostat is
regulating the temperature.

THE
SPECIAL
“ E.S.E. “
FILTER
“ESE”, which stands for “
E
asy
S
erving
E
spresso”, is a selected measure of coffee,
ground and pressed between two filter papers
making a coffee pod which is ready to use (for
example “illy
pods). This system makes it
easy for you to prepare your espresso and to
clean the machine.
The E.S.E. system was designed for making
Italian-style “espresso ristretto” or “short
espresso”. The amount of coffee is about two
ounces and the water should take 20 seconds
to run through.
We do not intend, or recommend, that
the E.S.E. servings are used for making
more then one single serving or a “long
espresso”.
We recommend that you take care when
handling and storing the E.S.E. servings so
that they do not become deformed.
For best results, we recommend that you pre-
heat the accessories (filter holder, filter basket
and cups) without any coffee. To do this, see
section entitled “espresso function” above.
. Preparing an espresso:
• Fill the water tank
(1) (2) (3)
and start the
appliance
(4)
.
Place the serving of
“illy
in the ESE filter
holder fitted with its own filter. The wording
“illy
must be pointing towards the bottom.
Setting the ESE pod (18).
Tear excess paper from pod at perforated
edge. Place the ESE pod with the RED
MARKING FACE DOWN (bend the paper
corners down).
• Take care to put all the paper inside the filter
or you will have some drips.
Placing the ESE pod correctly will create a
richer, thicker crema.
LOCKING the handle TIGHTLY and PROPERLY
will avoid leakage from the filter holder and
ensure a better brewing cycle.
Place the filter holder inside the brewing head
and FIRMLY turn the handle as far RIGHT as
possible.
Once the appliance reaches the correct
temperature, the orange temperature control
light will go out.
•
Then turn the selector to the setting
(9)
.
•
At the beginning, there is a time of pre
brewing.
•
When the recommended quantity of coffee
has been reached (about two ounce) turn
the selector to the
O
position.
Remove the filter holder from the brewing
head and throw away the used coffee pod.
NOTE: Other pods (such as those sold by
Starbucks
)
can be used in your Krups XP
4000 as long as they are E.S.E. standard pods.

FUNCTION
FOR
PREPARING
CAPPUCCINO
AND
LATTE
The thumping noise which occurs while steam
is being produced comes from the
intermittent regulation of the pump and has
no effect on the proper working of the
appliance.
If you wish to make an espresso immediately
after using the steam function, the appliance
must first be allowed to cool down in order to
achieve the correct temperature for preparing
an espresso.
