PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTION

The Die-Cast Programmable Espresso

Machine offers a convenient choice

between preset shot sizes (1oz or 2oz),

manual function (over-rides preset shot

size for one time only) or a programmable

function that reprograms the preset shot

sizes with the user’s preferred shot size.

ESPRESSO PRESSURE GAUGE

The espresso pressure gauge assists in

obtaining the most favorable extraction

pressure, guiding the user to create

their ideal espresso. This is achieved

by measuring the pressure at which the

water is being forced through the ground

espresso in the portaﬁ lter. The ideal

position of the gauge needle is anywhere

within the ESPRESSO RANGE. Refer

to the Extraction Guide (page 30)

for tips on how to achieve the most

favorable extraction.

NOTE:

While the Pressure Gauge is a great

guide to the quality of the extraction, the

best indicator is the look and taste of

the espresso.

HOT WATER WAND

The dedicated hot water wand is ideal

for making your favorite hot drinks.

For convenient use the wand has a

commercial style 360° ball joint.

COMMERCIAL STYLE STEAM WAND

The swivel-action steam wand, with

stainless steel frothing attachment, easily

adjusts to the perfect position for texturing

milk. The wand has a commercial style

360° ball joint.

"PRESSURIZED" DUAL WALL FILTERS

FOR BEGINNERS

Eliminates the guesswork for fast and easy

to make espresso.

The Die-Cast Programmable Espresso

Machine is supplied with two “Pressurized”

Dual Wall Filters - 1 x single shot and

1 x double shot. These ﬁ lters are designed

to intentionally slow the water ﬂ ow rate

during extraction, resulting in an espresso

that has been extracted at the correct

pressure, leading to a rich, golden crema.

These ﬁ lters are suited to both pre-ground

vacuum packed espresso as well as fresh

ground beans.

"NON-PRESSURIZED" SINGLE WALL

FILTERS FOR ASPIRING BARISTAS

Experiment with grind size, grind amount

and tamp.

The Die-Cast Programmable Espresso

Machine is supplied with two

“Non-Pressurized” Single Wall Filters -

1 x single shot and 1 x double shot.

These ﬁ lters provide no additional

slowing of the water ﬂ ow rate, hence

experimentation with the grind size, grind

amount and tamp force is required to

achieve favorable results.

These ﬁ lters are suited to both pre-ground

vacuum packed espresso as well as

fresh ground beans. A great espresso is

a balance of main ﬂ avor elements: acidity,

aroma, bitterness, body, nuttiness, and

sharpness. By using the Single Wall

Filters you are free to explore the world of

espresso by experimenting with grind size,

grind amount and tamp pressure to extract

a rich variety of ﬂ avors.

ELECTRONIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The electronic temperature control system

accurately maintains the optimal brewing

temperature of the water. This helps

ensure the user gets the best possible

extraction each time an espresso is made.

ENERGY SAVING FEATURES

The Breville Die-Cast Programmable

Espresso Machine will enter the ‘Power

Save Mode’ if not used for one hour, and

will automatically switch off if not used for

a further three hours. The ‘Power Save

Mode’ uses 45% less power than when

"NON-PRESSURIZED" SINGLE WALL

FILTERS FOR ASPIRING BARISTAS

Experiment with grind size, grind amount

and tamp.

The Die-Cast Programmable Espresso

Machine is supplied with two

“Non-Pressurized” Single Wall Filters -

1 x single shot and 1 x double shot.

These ﬁ lters provide no additional

slowing of the water ﬂ ow rate, hence

experimentation with the grind size,

grind amount and tamp force is required

to achieve favorable results.

These ﬁ lters are suited to both pre-ground

vacuum packed espresso as well as

freshly ground beans. A great espresso is

a balance of main ﬂ avor elements: acidity,

aroma, bitterness, body, nuttiness, and

sharpness. By using the Single Wall Filters

you are free to explore the world

of espresso by adjusting grind, grind

amount and tamp to extract a rich

variety of ﬂ avors.

STEP 1 - FILLING THE WATER TANK

• Ensure the Power is off and the Selector

Control, on the side of the machine, is

set to the “Stand By” position.

• Unplug the power cord from the

power outlet.

• Remove the portaﬁ lter if locked into the

group head and move the steam wand

to the side of the machine.

• Remove the water tank by sliding out

using the handle insert in the front of

the water tank.

• As the water tank is removed, a black

tube slides and extends out from the

water tank storage area. Do not touch

or try to remove this tube, it will

automatically slide back into position

when the water tank is re inserted.

• Fill the water tank with cold, tap water to

the maximum mark on the water window

and slide the water tank carefully back

into position in the machine.

• Ensure the Selector Control is in the

“Stand By” position and plug the power

cord into a 110/120V power outlet.

• Press the POWER button to ‘On’, the

POWER button surround will ﬂ ash while

the machine is heating. When the

correct temperature has been reached,

all the button surrounds on the control

panel will illuminate.

NOTE:

Check the water level before use and

replace the water daily. The water tank

should be reﬁ lled with fresh, cold tap

water before each use. Do not use mineral

or distilled water or any other liquid.

STEP 2 - PRE-WARMING THE CUPS

This will help maintain the espresso’s

optimal temperature when brewed into the

cups. The Cup Warming Plate will start to

warm as the machine heats.

Run hot water from the group head

without the portaﬁ lter inserted by holding

down the single shot button on the front,

right hand side of the machine, then place

the cups on the warming tray.

PERFECTING YOUR SKILLS - "NON-PRESSURIZED" SINGLE WALL FILTERS PERFECTING YOUR SKILLS - "NON-PRESSURIZED" SINGLE WALL FILTERS

STEP 3 - PREPARING THE SINGLE

WALL FILTER

• Place the single or double shot Single

Wall Filter into the portaﬁ lter. When

brewing into a larger mug, always use

the double shot ﬁ lter and only extract

2oz. If you require a larger serving,

add the hot water ﬁ rst and then extract

the espresso.

• Preheat the portaﬁ lter by placing

underneath the group head. Rinse with

hot water from the group head by

holding down the double shot button on

the front, right hand side of the machine.

Dry the portaﬁ lter thoroughly before use.

Unlike the Dual Wall Filters, the Single Wall

Filters have no markings on the underside

of the ﬁ lter

(refer to page 8).

STEP 4 - GRIND SIZE & AMOUNT

When selecting the grind size it should be

ﬁ ne but not too ﬁ ne or powdery. The grind

will effect the rate at which the water ﬂ ows

through the ground espresso in the ﬁ lter

and therefore the taste of the espresso.

If the grind is too ﬁ ne (looks like powder

and feels like ﬂ our when rubbed between

ﬁ ngers), the water will not ﬂ ow through

the ground espresso even when under

pressure. The resulting espresso will be

over extracted, too dark and bitter, with

a mottled and uneven crema on top.

If the grind is too coarse the water will ﬂ ow

through the ground espresso too quickly.

This will result in an under-extracted

espresso lacking in ﬂ avor and without the

thick crema on the top.

When grinding for a Single Wall Filter using

a ﬁ ner espresso grind, you will need to

increase the grind amount to ensure the

ﬁ lter is correctly ﬁ lled.

STEP 5 - TAMPING THE GROUND

ESPRESSO

• Distribute the ground espresso

coffee evenly in the ﬁ lter and press

down lightly with the tamping end of the

measuring spoon.

Refer to ‘Espresso Making Tips’, page 31

• Clean any excess ground espresso

coffee from the rim of the portaﬁ lter to

ensure a proper ﬁ t into the group head.

STEP 6 - PRIMING THE GROUP HEAD

• Before placing the portaﬁ lter into position,

it is recommended to run a short ﬂ ow of

water through the group head.

• Place a container or empty cup under

the group head.

• With the portaﬁ lter removed, prime

the group head by pressing and holding

down the single or double cup button

for approximately 5 seconds.

Refer to ‘Manual Espresso’, page 24.

A pumping noise will be heard during

this operation, and water will run through

the group head.

• Use 1 level measure of ground espresso

coffee for the 1 shot ﬁ lter and 2 level

measures for the 2 shot ﬁ lter.

Refer to ‘Espresso Making Tips’, page 31.

STEP 7 - INSERTING THE PORTAFILTER

Place the portaﬁ lter underneath the group

head so that the handle is aligned with

the insert graphic. Insert the portaﬁ lter

holder up into the group head and rotate

the handle to the right until resistance is

felt, this will be at an approximate 90°

angle to the machine.

STEP 8 - PREPARING FOR EXTRACTION

• Ensure all the button surrounds on the

control panel are illuminated, indicating

the machine has reached the correct

temperature for extraction, and is ready

for use.

• Ensure the drip tray and portaﬁ lter are

in place.

• Place one or two pre-warmed cups

beneath the portaﬁ lter outlet.

hold the ‘PROGRAM’ button, until the

machine beeps three times. Release

button. This indicates the machine has

returned to its original default settings.

NOTE:

Default settings: one cup pour is

approximately 1 oz. Two cups

is approximately 2 oz.

MANUAL ESPRESSO

The Manual function over-rides the preset

shot size for one time only. It does not

save the shot size like in programming

mode.

Press and hold the single

or

two cup

button. Release the button

once sufﬁ cient espresso has ﬂ owed into

the cup.

STEP 9 – EMPTYING THE

PORTAFILTER

Remove the portaﬁ lter from the group

head by rotating the portaﬁ lter to the left

until it releases.

To empty the used grounds, turn the

portaﬁ lter upside down in a bin and gently

knock out the grounds. Used grounds

should be thrown away with domestic

waste. Discarding of used grounds in a

sink can cause drains to become blocked.

With the ﬁ lter still in place, hold the

portaﬁ lter underneath the group head,

press and hold down the one cup

button to release hot water. Rinse the

portaﬁ lter until water runs clear.

Insert the portaﬁ lter back into the

group head to dry out and keep warm.

NOTE:

PRE-BREW FUNCTION

When a single or double coffee is

selected, the machine will pump water

momentarily, followed by a pause then

continues to pump the water through to

the ground coffee in the portaﬁ lter. The

ground coffee is moistened by a small

amount of water before full extraction

then expands resulting in greater

pressure build-up to extract all the oils

and full ﬂ avor from the ground coffee.

NOTE:

You may notice that the espresso

coffee in the ﬁ lter holder is still wet

after extraction. Due to the high water

pressure created by the dual-wall ﬁ lter,

a small amount of water will remain

with the grounds after extraction.

This is normal, this is how we get the

perfect créma.

WARNING: THE METAL PARTS OF THE

PORTAFILTER MAY STILL BE

VERY HOT.

THE ART OF TEXTURING MILK

The Die-Cast Programmable Espresso

Machine comes complete with a

Commercial Style Swivel Steam Wand

and Stainless Steel Frothing Attachment.

When using the frothing attachment on

the steam wand a large amount of froth is

easily created.

If less froth is required, remove the frothing

attachment from the steam wand and

steam the milk using the steam wand. To

remove the frothing attachment, ensure it

is cool then simply pull down and remove.

The frothing attachment can be stored in

the storage tray inside the machine if not

used regularly.

To reﬁ t the frothing attachment ensure it is

securely attached to the steam wand by

inserting it, from either opening, onto the

steam wand and pushing ﬁ rmly upwards

onto the rubber surround.

• Fill the stainless steel frothing jug

maximum ½ full with cold, fresh milk.

• Turn the Steam selector dial to the

‘Steam’ position. The red steam light

will start to ﬂ ash indicating that the

machine is heating to create steam.

• When the steam light stops ﬂ ashing it

is ready to use.

• Before inserting the wand into the milk,

pause the steam by returning the dial

back to the ‘STAND BY’ position. This

will avoid splashing the milk out of the

jug (this pause function lasts for 6

seconds before exiting steam mode).

• Insert the wand into the milk and return

the Steam dial back to ‘Steam’.

WARNING: MILK SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN OVER THE TOP OF THE FROTHING

ATTACHMENT, OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. TO AVOID

SPLATTERING OF HOT MILK, DO NOT LIFT THE END OF THE FROTHING ATTACHMENT

ABOVE THE SURFACE OF THE MILK WHILE FROTHING. ENSURE THE STEAM DIAL IS

IN THE ‘STAND BY’ POSITION BEFORE REMOVING THE FROTHING JUG.

There are two phases to texture milk:

Stretching the milk to aerate it and swirling

the milk to make it silky smooth and the

right temperature.

In practice these two operations should

blend into one.

NOTE:

The espresso machine features

a swivel steam wand assembly so the

position of the steam wand can be

changed to a comfortable angle.

THE ART OF TEXTURING MILK

STEP 1 - STRETCHING THE MILK

Hold the jug so the tip of the steam wand

is just below the surface of the milk and

with your free hand engage the steam.

Every so often lower the jug so the steam

wand just breaks the surface of the milk

and makes a ‘hissing’ sound.

Stretching the milk will increase the

volume, so lower the jug as the milk rises

to ensure the tip remains just above the

surface of the milk.

STEP 2 - SWIRLING THE MILK

After a short while you will have aerated

sufﬁ ciently. At this point, adjust the jug so

the steam wand is off-center and create a

spinning motion in the milk. Compensate

for the angle of the steam wand by slightly

tilting the jug away from you, or to one

side and at the same time lower the nozzle

further into the body of the milk.

Continue swirling until milk is at desired

temperature (between 130°F-150°F).

Without a thermometer you’ll know the

milk is ready when the jug base is ‘just

too hot’ to touch.

When you get the balance right the milk

should end up forming a ‘meringue-like’

consistency that has a glassy sheen to it.

Remove any excess air bubbles by gently

knocking the jug against a hard ﬂ at surface

and pour the milk down the inside of your

chosen cup or glass to make your desired

espresso variation.

Lastly, run the Steam function brieﬂ y to

remove any residual milk in the steam

wand tip. Then give the steam wand a

good wipe with a damp cloth.

NOTE:

After 5 minutes of continuous

steaming, the machine will automatically

disable the steam function. The steam

and hot water lights will ﬂ ash. When this

occurs return the selector control to the

‘Standby’ position.

NOTE:

Always ensure that the frothing

attachment has been ﬁ rmly pushed onto

the steam wand and connects with the

rubber surround. For best results use

cold fresh milk (low fat milk will froth

easier). Always clean the steam wand and

frothing attachment after every use.

Refer to ‘Care and Cleaning’, page 33.

NOTE:

For extracting more espresso

immediately after using the steam

function, this machine features an

auto-purge function. This ensures that

ground espresso will not be burnt by the

initial water ﬂ ow from the thermoblock

being too hot. Instead this water is

automatically released internally into

the drip tray ensuring that the internal

thermostat is at optimal temperature

for extracting espresso. Your espresso

will always be extracted at this optimal

temperature ensuring only the best

ﬂ avored espresso is achieved.

The espresso machine features a separate

hot water function that can be used for

making tea, hot chocolate and other warm

drinks. The hot water is dispensed from

the dedicated Hot Water Wand.

Place a jug or cup underneath the Hot

Water Wand to collect the hot water.

To use the hot water function, turn the

Selector Control to HOT WATER. The hot

water light will illuminate when selected.

To turn the hot water off, turn the Selector

Control to the ‘Standby’ position.

Limit the extraction of hot water to 67 oz

(2 liters) each use.

USING THE HOT WATER FUNCTION

The machine is not designed to make

large pots of coffee and tea. The more

hot water used at the one time, the cooler

it becomes.

NOTE:

After 2 minutes of continued hot

water use, the machine will automatically

disable the hot water function. The steam

and hot water lights will ﬂ ash. When

this occurs return the selector to the

‘Standby’ position.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Fresh Roasted Beans

Freshly ground, fresh roasted beans

are key to making espresso with

more flavor and body. Stale beans

and preground coffee significantly

affect the taste and crema of your

finished espresso.

Store Carefully

Store in a dark, cool and dry place.

Do not store in the fridge or freezer.

Vacuum seal if possible.

Buy in small batches to reduce the

storage time.

Crema

Crema is the caramel colored layer

that is on top of the espresso

following extraction.

Cup size will affect crema depth.

The smaller the cup diameter,

the thicker the crema.

Pre-Heat & Rinse

Pre-heating the cups and filter

before extraction ensures a

hot espresso.

Without ground espresso coffee in

the filter, lock the Portafilter into the

machine and run hot water through.

ESPRESSO MAKING TIPS

ESPRESSO MAKING TIPS

THE RIGHT MEASUREMENT

A single espresso is made with ¼ ounce or

7g of ground espresso. A level measure of

the tamp/spoon is the correct amount of

ground espresso for a single espresso and

2 level measures for a double espresso.

When grinding for a Single Wall Filter

using a ﬁ ner espresso grind, you will

need to increase the grind amount

to ensure the ﬁ lter is correctly ﬁ lled.

TAMPING CORRECTLY

Level the desired amount of coffee by

gently tapping the side of the portaﬁ lter

before pressing down ﬁ rmly with the

tamping end of the measuring spoon.

When packing for a double espresso it is

important only to tamp after the second

measure. Tamping between measures

will create a layer in the coffee that can

impede full extraction.

PURGE THE GROUP HEAD

Before inserting the portaﬁ lter, run some

water through the group head. It will

ensure that your machine has a last

minute ‘clean through’ and stabilizes the

temperature prior to extracting.

NOTE:

Make sure to wipe off any excess coffee

from the rim of the ﬁ lter to ensure a

proper seal is achieved under the

group head.

EXTRACTING YOUR ESPRESSO

The most common mistake in extracting is

to over extract from your ground espresso.

This results in a bitter beverage with visibly

bleached créma. Créma is the caramel

colored layer that ﬂ oats on top of the

espresso following extraction.

NOTE:

The taste of your espresso will, of

course, depend on personal preference

and on many other factors such as the

type of coffee bean used, the coarseness

or ﬁ neness of the grind and the tamping

pressure (pressed down). We recommend

experimenting by varying these factors

to achieve the espresso taste of your

preference.

WARMING YOUR CUP OR GLASS

A warm cup will help maintain the

espresso’s optimal temperature. Preheat

your cup by storing on the cup warming

tray or rinsing with hot water from the hot

water wand.

NOTE:

Always properly clean your machine after

each use.

WARMING THE PORTAFILTER

A cold portaﬁ lter can drop the extraction

temperature enough to signiﬁ cantly affect

the quality of your espresso. Always

ensure the portaﬁ lter is preheated by

running hot water through it before

preparing the espresso.

NOTE:

Always wipe the ﬁ lter and portaﬁ lter dry

before tamping with ground espresso as

moisture can encourage ‘drilling’ - this is

when water bypasses the ground

espresso coffee during extraction.

USING PRE-GROUND ESPRESSO

If using a pre-ground espresso, ensure

an espresso grind suitable for espresso/

cappuccino machines is purchased.

If grinding coffee beans, the grind should

be ﬁ ne but not too ﬁ ne or powdery. The

grind will effect the rate at which the

water ﬂ ows through the espresso coffee

in the ﬁ lter and therefore the taste of the

espresso.

If the grind is too ﬁ ne (looks like powder

and feels like ﬂ our when rubbed between

ﬁ ngers), the water will not ﬂ ow through

the coffee even when under pressure. The

resulting coffee will be over extracted, too

dark and bitter, with a mottled and uneven

créma on top.

If the grind is too coarse the water will ﬂ ow

through the ground espresso too quickly.

This will result in an under-extracted

espresso lacking in ﬂ avor and without the

thick créma on the top of the espresso.

abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which

can scratch the surface).

NOTE:

Do not clean any of the parts or

accessories in the dishwasher.

CARE AND CLEANING (continued)

DECALCIFYING

• After regular use, hard water can cause

mineral build up in and on many of the

inner functioning components, reducing

the brewing ﬂ ow, power of the machine,

and affecting the quality of the espresso.

• We advise decalcifying the machine on

a regular basis (every 2-3 months) using

a mixture of white vinegar and water.

Follow the instructions provided, or use

the following as a guide:

Diluted solution (for softer water)

• 1 part white vinegar

• 2 parts cold tap water

Concentrated solution (for harder water)

• 1 part white vinegar

• 1 part cold tap water

DECALCIFYING THE MACHINE

• Ensure the Selector Control is in the

‘Standby’ position, the power is off

and unplug the machine from the

power outlet.

• Remove the portaﬁ lter and frothing

attachment. Pour the mixture of white

vinegar and water into the water tank.

• Plug the machine into the power outlet

and switch on.

• Press the POWER button and turn

the Selector Control to the ‘Standby’

position.

• Place a large container under the group

head, steam wand and hot water wand.

• When the brewing temperature has

been reached all the button surrounds

on the Control Panel will illuminate.

Press and hold the single or double

cup button to commence manual pour.

• Release the button once half the mixture

of white vinegar and water has run

through the group head.

• Set the Selector Control to the ‘STEAM’

position and allow steam to run through

the Steam Wand for approximately 2

minutes. Return the Selector Control

back to the ‘Standby’ position.

• Set the Selector Control to the ‘HOT

WATER’ position and allow the

remaining liquid to run through the hot

water wand. When the liquid stops

ﬂ owing, set the Selector Control back to

‘Standby’ position.

• After decalcifying, remove the water tank

and rinse thoroughly then re-ﬁ ll with

fresh cold water. To rinse the machine,

repeat previous steps.
