Chère Cliente, cher Client,
Nous vous félicitons pour l’achat de votre Espresso Automatic Serie EA815-EA816-EA817. Votre machine
vous donne la possibilité de préparer des boissons très variées, des espressos, cafés ou ristrettos de façon
totalement automatique. Vous pouvez également préparer des boissons lactées comme le cappuccino. Elle a
été conçue pour vous permettre de savourer à la maison la même qualité qu’au restaurant, quel que soit le mo-
ment dans la journée ou dans la semaine où vous le préparerez. Vous en apprécierez aussi bien la qualité du ré-
sultat en tasse que la grande facilité d’utilisation. Vous pouvez agir sur le volume, l’intensité et la température de
vos boissons.
Grâce à son Compact Thermoblock System avec chambre de percolation intégrée, sa pompe 15 bars et
parce qu’elle travaille à partir de café en grains fraîchement moulus juste avant extraction, votre machine
vous permettra d’obtenir des ristrettos, espressos, et cafés chauds dès la première tasse avec un maximum
d’arômes et recouverts d’une crème couleur brun chamois.
Traditionnellement, et pour permettre à la boisson d’exprimer toute sa saveur, l’espresso est servi dans de
petites tasses en porcelaine évasées. Pour obtenir un espresso à une température optimale et une crème
bien compacte, nous vous conseillons de faire préchauffer vos tasses.
Il vous faudra probablement plusieurs essais pour trouver le café en grains qui vous siéra.
En changeant de mélange et/ou de torréfaction, vous parviendrez à obtenir le résultat idéal.
Le café espresso est plus riche en arôme qu’un café filtre classique. Malgré son goût plus prononcé, très
présent en bouche et plus persistant, l’espresso contient moins de caféine que le café filtre (environ 60 à
80 mg par tasse en comparaison avec 80 à 100 mg par tasse) en raison d’une durée de percolation
plus courte.
La qualité de l’eau utilisée est aussi un autre facteur déterminant quant à la qualité du résultat en tasse.
Idéalement, utilisez une eau tout juste sortie du robinet (afin qu’elle n’ait pas eu le temps de stagner au
contact de l’air), exempte d’odeur de chlore et froide.
L’afficheur LCD, ergonomique et confortable, facilitera votre navigation. Il vous guidera sur l’ensemble des
étapes, de la préparation de votre boisson aux opérations de maintenance.
Nous vous souhaitons beaucoup de plaisir avec votre machine Krups.
L’équipe Krups
