Instructions for a Krups Coffee and Espresso Maker
The Krups Company manufactures a wide variety of small home appliances, including kettles, rice and egg cookers, waffle irons, toasters, blenders, espresso and coffee makers. Krups combination coffee and espresso makers feature a four-bar steam system for specialty coffee drinks, a steam nozzle for milk frothing, glass carafes for both espresso and coffee, 10-cup capacity coffee maker and a swing-out filter.
