The Nescafé Dolce Gusto Krups Genio S Plus KP340B10 coffee machine is renowned for its ability to prepare professional-quality beverages thanks to its 15-bar pressure and advanced temperature control.

Check temperature settings
Using the advanced temperature control
The KP340B10 offers a selection of four temperature settings. Make sure that the temperature is set correctly according to your preferences. To adjust the temperature:

Espresso Boost function
This function allows you to prepare an even more intense and concentrated espresso. If your drink is too cold, check that the Espresso Boost function is activated for optimal extraction.
Regular maintenance of the machine
Descaling the coffee maker
Scaling can affect heating performance. The KP340B10 is equipped with an automatic LED descaling alert that indicates when descaling is necessary. To descale:
- Follow the instructions in the user manual.
- Use a descaling solution recommended by the manufacturer.
- Rinse the machine thoroughly after the process.
Cleaning the water reservoir
The removable 0.8 L water reservoir should be cleaned regularly to prevent deposits that could affect heating. Remove the reservoir, wash it with warm soapy water, rinse it well, and let it dry before putting it back in place.
Check the power supply
Secure connection
Make sure the machine is properly plugged in and that the outlet is working. An unstable electrical connection can lead to heating issues.
Eco mode
