The type of coffee you choose strongly influences the strength and
flavor of your espresso. Always use coffee beans ground to the
proper size for espresso. Too fine a grind will result in espresso that
is over-extracted and bitter. Too coarse a grind will result in
espresso that is under-extracted and weak in flavor. The perfect
espresso grind will feel like fine grains that do not clump when
pressed together.
Store your espresso grounds in an airtight container, and in a cool,
dry place to retain the flavor. Grounds should not be kept for long
periods of time as the flavor will be reduced over time.
Do not use instant coffee, or coffee for drip coffee machines.
n Fill the water tank to the maximum line with fresh cold water and turn

Important:

the Krups Precise Tamp (KPT) system.
