Your machine is equipped with a filter holder which boasts three exclusive systems:
- One for the gradual tamping of the espresso ground coffee as the filter holder is being positioned
(kTS "krups Tamping System").
- Another is for ejecting the used grounds.
- The last is for using E.S.E. (Easy Serving Espresso) or soft pods.
It is also removable, and so can be frequently cleaned to be maintained in perfect working order. For your
safety, your filter holder is equipped with a locking system to keep it in place when the pressure rises.

longer.
