Here are some recommendations to make the most of your appliance and produce
quality coffees:
„ The quality of the water has a huge impact on the quality of the aromas. Limescale and
chlorine can alter the taste of your coffee. We recommend that you use the Claris Aqua
Filter System cartridge, or slightly mineralized water to preserve all the aromas of your
coffee.
„ To prepare ristretto, espresso and coffee recipes, we recommend that you use pre-
heated tulip shaped porcelain cups. For your cappuccino, latte and hot milk recipes, we
recommend that you use thick glasses or porcelain cups for a delicious result.
„ Roasted coffee beans can lose their flavor if they are not protected. We recommend that
you fill the bean hopper of the machine with enough quantity for the next four to five
days. This will enable you to preserve longer the rest of your beans : KRUPS recommends
storing them in a dark and fresh place (avoid fridge and freezer), ideally in an air tight
container. The quality of coffee beans varies and whether you like them or not is a matter
of personal taste; however, we recommend that you use arabica rather than robusta
coffee beans. It will probably take several attempts to find the coffee beans that you
prefer.
Finally, we recommend that you do not use oily or caramelized beans, which can damage
the appliance.
„ The quality and fineness of the ground coffee will affect the aromas and quality of the
crema (the cream created on top of your coffee). The finer the grind the thicker the crema.
The grind size should be adjusted to the drink desired: fine for ristretto and espresso and
coarser for coffee.
„ You can use pasteurized milk, skim, semi-skim or whole milk, straight from the fridge
(44ºF). Other milks such as microfiltered milk, unpasteurized milk, soy milk, almond milk
will produce variable results with the same settings that for regular milk : the quality of the
froth will be different as the froth depends on the fat content of the milk.
