Espresso is a style of coffee that comes from a unique process, not a particular type of coffee bean. Hot water, under pressure, is passed through tightly packed, finely ground coffee. The resulting liquid is rich, dark, and extremely flavorful: the concentrated essence of the coffee bean. Espresso is not served in regular coffee cups, but in small 1.5-oz «shots». The perfect espresso shot is topped by beautiful, thick, golden foam known as crema, a product of the natural oils in the coffee bean, and the source of its rich flavour and aroma. It is important to note that your espresso coffee must be both well roasted coffee and correctly ground. If you cannot buy ground espresso coffee, use a coffee grinder to grind the beans. The coffee must not be ground too fine. It must be slightly granulated, with a consistency somewhat between flour and sugar. Too fine a grind results in bitter, overextracted espresso and a risk of blocking the grid of the brewing head and the filter; too coarse and the espresso will be weak and under-extracted. In addition to the coffee you use, the other three factors that determine perfect espresso results are water, temperature and pressure. Your Krups machine ensures all three are precision-controlled by expertly designed technology. What you must ensure is that the water you use is freshly-drawn (so that it has not had time to stagnate in the air), without any chlorine odor and at a fairly cold temperature. There are a number of misconceptions surrounding espresso. The first is that espresso should be bitter and burnt tasting. In fact, the ideal espresso shot should be aromatic, bittersweet (not bitter) and assertive, with a lingering aftertaste. 8 The second myth is that drinking espresso will keep you awake all night. Actually, despite its strong flavour, espresso contains less caffeine than regular coffee; typically 60-80 mg per shot compared to 80-100 mg per cup of regular coffee due to espresso's longer, darker roasting. And finally, many people think that espresso takes too long to prepare. The truth is, as the name implies, an espresso is intended to be served quickly, without elaborate preparation. As you will discover, your Krups espresso machine has been intuitively designed for easy use and built for the long term.

Once filled, empty them. After making your first espresso and the machine is warmed, the espresso cups can then be pre-heated on the cup warming plate. . Preparing an espresso : · Fill the water container (1) (2) (3) and turn on the machine (4). · Put the filter basket for one or two cups into the filter holder (5). · Place some ground coffee in the filter basket (1 or 2 measuring scoops), and then tamp it down firmly; the coffee should reach the lip of the filter (11) (12). · Remove any ground coffee which is lying around the filter (13). · Replace the filter holder into the machine. Turn the filter holder until it is firmly locked into place (6) (7). · Place one or two espresso cups beneath the filter holder.

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, press the start/stop switch (4). Check the water container and refill as needed. Never let the machine run when the water container is empty as this can damage the pump. USING THE SPECIAL " E.S.E. " FILTER "E.S.E.", which stands for "Easy Serving Espresso", 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". We do not intend, or recommend, that the E.S.E. servings be 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. pre-portioned pods so that they do not become deformed. For best results, we recommend that you preheat the accessories (filter holder, filter basket and cups) without any coffee. To do this, see section entitled "Espresso Making" above. . Preparing an espresso: · Fill the water tank (1) (2) (3) and turn on the machine (4). Setting the E.S.E. pod (18). Tear excess paper from pod at perforated edge. Place the E.S.E. pod with the RED MARKING FACE DOWN (bend the paper 10 corners down) in the E.S.E. filter holder fitted with its own filter. · Take care to put all the paper inside the filter or you may have some drips. Placing the E.S.E. pod correctly will create a richer, thicker crema. Locking the handle tightly and properly will also help 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 (6) (7) (8). As soon as the coffee selection buttons commence to glow continuously, the machine is ready to operate. · Press the single serving coffee button (9). · When the recommended quantity of coffee has been reached (35ml), press the coffee button (9) again if suitable volume was not preprogrammed. · Remove the filter holder from the brewing head and throw away the used coffee pod. NOTE: All pods (such as those sold by Starbucks and Illy ) can be used in your Krups XP 4050 as long as they are E.S.E. standard pods. illy is a registered trademark of illy espresso of the americas, inc.
