Krups 988

reusch

Hi coffee friends, we were given a KRUPS 988 espresso machine in working order. Are encountering some problems though. Does anybody have that machine and time for a chat on the phone about maintanance and operation ? If yes, let me know your name and phone no and I will call you.

Does anybody have a instruction booklet we could photocopy ?

Hi Matin, have you tried contacting the manufacturer / distributor direct? they're usually pretty helpful.  having said that I would have to say that even if your machine were in full working order i think you would probably struggle to make a good coffee from it, as the krups machines to the best of my knowledge simply do not have enough 'omph' in them to get a decent extraction i reckon that you would be better off off loading this machine and investing in something a little more high-tech, including a decent grinder or failing that, even an entry level grinder such as the sunbeam em480 will enable you to grind fresh beans to order, which you could then run through a stovetop, drip filter, or use in a plunger, and any of these options would most likely generate a better result than using stale pre-ground beans through a krups machine prob not the news that you wanted to hear, but if you're going to invest time and presumably money in home coffee, i recommend you start a little higher up the food chain cheers, pat
