Krups EA88 Serie Manual Del Usuario página 5

Dear customer,
Congratulations on purchasing your Espresso Automatic Series EA88. This appliance
allows you to prepare a wide variety of drinks, including espresso, coffees, ristretto, or
milk-based beverages, like cappuccino, whenever you want. It is designed to allow you to
enjoy restaurant quality coffee at home, whatever the time of day or day of the week. You
will appreciate both the quality of the coffee produced as well as the ease of use. You can
choose the volume, strength and temperature of your drinks at the touch of a button.
The Compact Thermoblock System with integrated percolation chamber, 15 bar pump and
coffee granules that are freshly ground just before extraction, allows you to make ristrettos,
espressos and coffees that are hot right from the first cup with maximum flavour and
beautifully rich creama.
The new One Touch Cappuccino function allows you to make one or two cappuccinos or
cafe lattes at the same time.
Espressos are traditionally served in small porcelain cups that widen at the top, releasing
all of the coffee's aromas. To obtain an espresso at the perfect temperature and with the
perfect amount of crema, we recommend heating the cups beforehand.
It will probably take several attempts before you find the coffee beans you prefer. By
changing the mixture and/or roasting process, you will soon achieve the ideal result.
Espressos are more aromatic than a classic filter coffee. Despite its more distinct taste,
which is very evident in the mouth and more persistent, an espresso contains less caffeine
than a filter coffee (approximately 60 to 80 mg per cup compared to 80 to 100 mg per cup);
this is due to shorter percolation time.
The quality of the water used is also a determining factor in terms of the quality of the drink
achieved. Ideally, use water straight from the tap (so that it did not have the time to stagnate
or stay in contact with the air); the water should also be free from any chloride odours and
it should be cold.
The ergonomic and comfortable colour touch screen will help you navigate through the
different programs. It will guide you through every stage, from preparing your drink to the
maintenance operations.
We hope you will enjoy using your KRUPS appliance.
