   This was very helpful! We got our krup at a garage sale and it didn’t have a manual. Tamping down the grounds should definitely make our next one better

   thank you very much. i hadn’t used my old krups (purchased around 1990) for a long while and bought some very nice beans for it, borrowed a grinder- i hadn’t known i wasn’t tamping the grind enough, and was trying to get it to the right quantity in about 15 seconds- not enough. thanks for the lesson!

   I have the same espresso machine and have been disappointed by it…My shots are always bitter because I can’t pull a shot while the milk is finishing up. I bet yours was too after how long it sat there!!

   germans don’t say vapore, they would say “dampf”.

   A very good tutorial. The Krups is a decent machine for its price, it just proves that it is very important to have a good grinder, the machine is secondary.

   I am sorry, I am not a professional barista and I have not heard that term before, so I cannot answer your question.

   Yea, it was made in Switzerland, not Germany anyway

    thanks ross… and i agree 100% that the grinder is key. my burr grinder is entry level, and still works fine. (readers: do not try making espresso with only a blade grinder!) it was my budget that kept me from going to an even better grinder.

    I have this exact machine….haven’t used it for years and am curious to know what to do to properly clean/descale it. I’ve no idea where the manuals are
