Before First Use
• Operate the coffee machine for the first time
with 1 litre of water, without any grounds.
Making Coffee
The quality of the water that you use
determines the taste of your coffee. You must
ensure that the water is freshly drawn from
the tap (so that it has not had the time to
stagnate in the air), that it does not smell of
chlorine and that it is at a fairly cold
temperature.
We recommend that you filter your water
using a Krups Duo Filter cartridge,
reference XS 1000.
• Follow the illustrations from 23 to 28.
• Use only cold water and a N° 4 filter paper
or a permanent filter.
