Krups F203 User Manual

too strong you can adjust by using slightly less ground coffee.
If you prefer a much lighter taste it is best to brew at the recommended ratio and dilute the resulting
brew with a measure of hot water. This allows the best flavor to be extracted from the beans while
avoiding over-extraction of too small an amount of ground coffee.
THE WATER
The water is a critical factor in the taste of your brewed coffee. Filtered water is normally the best
choice to help avoid the minerals and chlorine that can be found in municipal water systems.
However, if your water tastes good then it should be good for your coffee.
THE GRIND
For espresso coffee:
The Krups Fast-touch (F203) is acceptable for grinding beans for boiler-type or steam espresso
machines. We do not recommend using the Fast-Touch to grind beans for use with pump espresso
machines. Pump espresso machines require a burr-type grinder such as the KRUPS GVX series or a
similar professional style espresso grinder.
Burr grinders will prevent the introduction of coffee dust which can impede the flow of water through
the espresso machine.
