ea89 quattro force digital full auto espresso machine
User Manual
Dear Customer,
Before you began, please visit Safety
Instructions.
Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of your Espresso Automatic EA89
Series.
This new product offers more than 14 hot drinks: espresso, double espresso,
coffee, double coffee, ristretto, doppio, Americano, cappuccino, double
cappuccino, latte, double latte, frothy milk, green tea, black tea, and herbal
tea.
In addition to this very large choice, the machine offers many opportunities
for customizing drinks, for example, you can use a function that will increase
the intensity of your coffee if you appreciate more full-bodied preparations.
You can set the amount, strength, and temperature of your drinks.
The most frequently consumed drinks are accessible with one simple touch on
the main interface. As for the screen, it allows you to follow the progress of
your coffee and provides easy access to the different menus.
Most drinks can be prepared in batches of two, which saves time and is more
convivial.
Thanks to its KRUPS Quattro force technology, including a Compact Thermoblock
System with a built-in percolation chamber, its 15 bar pump, and because it
uses coffee beans that have been freshly ground just before making the coffee,
your machine will serve you hot ristrettos, espressos, and coffees from the
first cup with maximum aroma and a creamy golden-brown froth.
To give the drink maximum flavor, espresso is traditionally served in a small,
flared porcelain cup. For an optimum temperature espresso and a dense creamy
froth, we recommend that you pre-heat your cup.
You will probably need to try several types of coffee before you find the one
that suits you. By experimenting with the blend and/or roast, you will
eventually arrive at the ideal result.
Espresso coffee has a richer aroma than classic filter coffee. Despite its
stronger taste, which remains longer on the palate, espresso contains less
caffeine than filter coffee (around 60 to 80 mg per cup compared to 80 to 100
mg per cup) due to its shorter percolation period.
The quality of water used is another determining factor that affects the
overall quality of the brewed coffee. You should ideally use water that is
fresh from the tap (so that it has not had time to stagnate due to air
contact), which is cold and does not smell of chlorine.
The tactile, ergonomic, and comfortable buttons make it easy for you to
browse. You will be guided through each step, from preparing your drink to
servicing your machine.
We wish you many years of enjoyment with your Krups machine.
The Krups team
To get the most out of your machine and obtain good quality coffees, here is some advice:
- The quality of your water significantly influences the quality of the flavors. Limescale and 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 flavors of your coffee.
- When preparing exclusively coffee recipes, we recommend that you use tulip-shaped porcelain cups, preheated beforehand (by running them under hot water, for instance), and of a size appropriate to the quantity you want to make. For your milk-based preparations, we recommend that you use thick glass cups for an appetizing result.
- Roasted coffee beans can lose their flavor if they are not protected. We recommended that you use the number of beans required for your consumption for the next 4-5 days. Although the quality of coffee beans is subjective and varied, we do recommend that you use arabica rather than robusta.
- Lastly, please remember that oily and caramelized coffee beans must be avoided, as they can damage your machine.
- The quality and fineness of the grinding determine the strength of the flavors and the quality of the cream. The finer the beans are ground, the richer the cream. Indeed, grinding should be adapted to the drink desired: fine for ristretto and espresso, coarser for coffee.
- You can use pasteurized or UHT, skimmed, semi-skimmed, or whole milk, straight from the refrigerator (7°C). Using special milk (microfiltered, raw, fermented, enriched, etc.) or vegetable milk (rice, almond milk, etc.) can produce less satisfactory results especially when it comes to the quantity and quality of the froth.

BEFORE PREPARING DRINKS
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Depending on the drinks chosen, your Espresso Automatic EA89 will
automatically adjust the quantity of ground coffee.
Preparing the grinder
You can adjust the strength of your coffee by adjusting how finely the coffee
beans are ground. In general, the finer the coffee is ground, the stronger and
creamier the coffee will be. It may also vary according to the type of coffee
used.
We recommend a fine setting for espressos and a coarser setting for coffees.
Adjust the fineness of grinding by turning the coffee grounds fineness
adjustment knob (J) which is located in the coffee bean container. This
setting should be applied during grinding notch by notch. After 3 rounds, you
will notice a pronounced difference in taste.
Setting the fineness of grinding is useful when you change the type of coffee
or if you want to make coffee that is more or less strong. However, it is not
