SERIE EA9000
WELCOME
Dear Customer,
Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of an Espresso Automatic Series EA9000. With
your machine, you can prepare a wide range of drinks; espressos, coffees or milk-based drinks,
entirely automatically. It is designed so that you can enjoy the same quality at home as in a
restaurant, whatever the time of the day and throughout the week. You will appreciate both the
quality of the result in your cup and its superior ease-of-use.
Thanks to its Compact Thermoblock System with built-in brewing chamber, its 15 bar pump, and
because it can use either coffee beans freshly ground just before the coffee is made or ground
coffee fed via a funnel, your machine will give you ristrettos, espressos and coffees hot from the
first cup with maximum aroma and a fine creamy golden-brown top.
With its exclusive and patented system for preparing milk-based drinks automatically, you can easily
make delicious cappuccinos and caffe lattes, without compromise: hot, with the "three layer effect"
and thick, creamy froth. Its automatic steam nozzle rinsing and cleaning programmes guarantee
hassle-free hygiene for long-lasting performance, cup after cup.
With the hot water function, you can prepare teas and other drinks instantaneously.
You can also personalise all of these drinks using the "Favourites" menu. You can set the volume,
proportions, intensity and temperature of your drinks.
The colour touch-screen makes navigation ergonomic and comfortable. It will guide you through
each step, from preparing your drink to servicing your machine.
We wish you many years of enjoyment with your Krups machine.

A FEW EXPERT TIPS
Here are a few tips for achieving the best results from your machine:
The quality of your water significantly influences the quality of the flavours. Limescale and
n
chlorine can alter the taste of your coffee. We recommend that you use the Claris Aqua
Filter System cartridge or low mineral-content water to preserve all of the flavours of your
coffee.
When preparing ristretto, espresso and coffee recipes, we recommend that you use
n
tulip-shaped porcelain cups, preheated beforehand (by running them under hot water, for
instance), and whose size is appropriate for the quantity you want to make. For your
cappuccino, caffe latte and hot milk recipes, we recommend that you use thick glass cups,
for an appealing, precise and gourmet presentation.
Roasted coffee beans can lose their flavour if they are not protected. We recommended
n
that you use the amount of beans required for your consumption for the next 4-5 days. As
the machine automatically detects when there are no beans, you can be certain that you
will always have sufficient beans for preparing your coffee drinks. Though the quality of coffee
beans is subjective and varied, we can nevertheless recommend that you use arabica rather
than robusta. After a few trials, you will learn how to mix and roast the coffee beans
according to your tastes. Lastly, please remember that oily and caramelised coffee beans
must be avoided, as they can damage your machine.
The quality and fineness of the grinding determine the strength of the flavours and the quality
n
of the crema. The finer the ground, the richer the crema. Moreover, it must be adapted to
the drink you want: fine for ristretto and espresso, coarser for coffee. For your comfort, the
machine carries out this operation automatically.
Thanks to the ground coffee funnel and spoon, you can choose to serve your drink
n
differently. You can vary the flavours and strengths of your coffee as you wish. Ground coffee
should ideally be stored in the refrigerator in a hermetically sealed bag.
You can use pasteurised or UHT, skimmed, semi-skimmed or whole milk, straight from the
n
refrigerator (7°C). Using special milks (microfiltered, raw, fermented, enriched, etc.) can
produce less satisfactory results especially regarding the quality of the froth. However, we
recommend that you use fresh, cold milk for pre-programmed recipes.
