1. DESCrIPTION
Your machine is equipped with a filter holder which boasts three exclusive systems:
- One for the gradual tamping of the espresso ground coffee as the filter holder is being positioned
(kTS “krups Tamping System”).
- Another is for ejecting the used grounds.
- The last is for using E.S.E. (Easy Serving Espresso) or soft pods.
It is also removable, and so can be frequently cleaned to be maintained in perfect working order. For your
safety, your filter holder is equipped with a locking system to keep it in place when the pressure rises.

3. TIPS
n
For an espresso with intense flavour, we recommend using freshly ground special espresso coffee
which is ideal for the delicacy of this type of coffee, along with cups with a capacity not exceeding
50 ml.
n keep the espresso ground coffee in the refrigerator, in an air-tight container as it retains its flavour
longer.
n
Do not fill your filter holder to the brim, but use the measuring spoon (1 tablespoon per cup).
n If you do not use the appliance for more than 5 days, rinse and drain the water tank.
n
Before removing the water tank to fill or empty it, always turn the appliance off.
English
n
Always place the unit on a flat, stable, heat-resistant work surface.
n
To obtain an espresso at exactly the right temperature, we recommend that you preheat your cups.
n To prolong the life of your appliance, we recommend you use a Claris Aqua Filter System F088
cartridge (accessory not included) and that you descale the appliance at regular intervals.
