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

"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 filters provide no additional slowing of the water flow rate, hence experimentation with the grind size, grind amount and tamp force is required to achieve favorable results.

These filters are suited to both pre-ground vacuum packed espresso as well as freshly ground beans. A great espresso is a balance of main flavor 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 flavors.

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 portafilter 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.

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 flash 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 refilled with fresh, cold tap water before each use. Do not use mineral or distilled water or any other liquid.

• 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

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 portafilter 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

STEP 3 - PREPARED THE SINGLE WALL FILTER

• Place the single or double shot Single Wall Filter into the portafilter. When brewing into a larger mug, always use the double shot filter and only extract 2oz. If you require a larger serving, add the hot water first and then extract the espresso.
• Preheat the portafilter 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 portafilter thoroughly before use.

Unlike the Dual Wall Filters, the Single Wall Filters have no markings on the underside of the filter (refer to page 8).

• Use 1 level measure of ground espresso coffee for the 1 shot filter and 2 level measures for the 2 shot filter.

Refer to 'Espresso Making Tips', page 31.

STEP 4 - GRIND SIZE & AMOUNT

When selecting the grind size it should be fine but not too fine or powdery. The grind will effect the rate at which the water flows through the ground espresso in the filter and therefore the taste of the espresso.

If the grind is too fine (looks like powder and feels like flour when rubbed between fingers), the water will not flow 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 flow through the ground espresso too quickly. This will result in an under-extracted espresso lacking in flavor and without the thick crema on the top.

When grinding for a Single Wall Filter using a finer espresso grind, you will need to increase the grind amount to ensure the filter is correctly filled.

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

STEP 5 - TAMPING THE GROUND ESPRESSO

• Distribute the ground espresso coffee evenly in the filter 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 portafilter to ensure a proper fit into the group head.

STEP 6 - PRIMING THE GROUP HEAD

• Before placing the portafilter into position, it is recommended to run a short flow of water through the group head.
• Place a container or empty cup under the group head.
• With the portafilter 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.

STEP 7 - INSERTING THE PORTAFILTER

Place the portafilter underneath the group head so that the handle is aligned with the insert graphic. Insert the portafilter 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.

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

STEP 8 - PREPARED 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 portafilter are in place.
• Place one or two pre-warmed cups beneath the portafilter outlet.

PRESET SHOT SIZE - ONE SHOT

Press the one cup button once. A preset extraction of approximately 1 oz of espresso will be delivered. A pumping noise will be heard in this operation. The machine will automatically stop once the preset pour has been delivered.

NOTE:

When using a single shot filter, for optimal flavor, you should only extract approximately 1 oz. When using a double shot filter, for optimal flavor, you should only extract approximately 2 oz.

NOTE:

The amount of espresso extracted in the cup will vary depending on the coarseness of your grind and grind amount.

PROGRAMMING YOUR BREVILLE DIE-CAST PROGRAMMABLE ESPRESSO MACHINE

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 sufficient espresso has flowed into the cup.

STEP 9 - EMPTYING THE PORTAFILTER

Remove the portafilter from the group head by rotating the portafilter to the left until it releases.

To empty the used grounds, turn the portafilter 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 filter still in place, hold the portafilter underneath the group head, press and hold down the one cup button to release hot water. Rinse the portafilter until water runs clear.

Insert the portafilter 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 portafilter. 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 flavor from the ground coffee.

NOTE:

You may notice that the espresso coffee in the filter holder is still wet after extraction. Due to the high water pressure created by the dual-wall filter, 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 refit the frothing attachment ensure it is securely attached to the steam wand by inserting it, from either opening, onto the steam wand and pushing firmly upwards onto the rubber surround.

• Fill the stainless steel frothing jug maximum 1 / 2 full with cold, fresh milk.
• Turn the Steam selector dial to the 'Steam' position. The red steam light will start to flash indicating that the machine is heating to create steam.
• When the steam light stops flashing 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'.

• To stop, return the steam dial to the 'STAND BY' position and remove the jug.

NOTE:

When the espresso machine creates steam, a pumping noise can be heard. This is the normal operation of the 15 Bar pump.

NOTE:

If steam starts coming from the steam wand before it is immersed in the milk, pause the steam by turning the Selector Control back to the 'Standby' position. This will avoid the steam pressure blowing milk out of the jug.

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 REMOVALING THE FROTHING JUG.

THE ART OF TEXTURING MILK

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.

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 sufficiently. 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^ - 150^ ). 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 flat 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 briefly 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 flash. When this occurs return the selector control to the 'Standby' position.

NOTE:

Always ensure that the frothing attachment has been firmly 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.

USING THE HOT WATER FUNCTION

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 flow 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 flavored espresso is achieved.

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 flash. When this occurs return the selector to the 'Standby' position.

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.

ESPRESSOMAKINGTIPS

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 andcrema 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.

WARMING THE PORTAFILTER

A cold portafilter can drop the extraction temperature enough to significantly affect the quality of your espresso. Always ensure the portafilter is preheated by running hot water through it before preparing the espresso.

NOTE:

Always wipe the filter and portafilter dry before tamping with ground espresso as moisture can encourage 'drilling' - this is when water bypasses the ground espresso coffee during extraction.

ESPRESSOMAKINGTIPS

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 fine but not too fine or powdery. The grind will effect the rate at which the water flows through the espresso coffee in the filter and therefore the taste of the espresso.

If the grind is too fine (looks like powder and feels like flour when rubbed between fingers), the water will not flow 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 flow through the ground espresso too quickly. This will result in an under-extracted espresso lacking in flavor and without the thick crème on the top of the espresso.

THE RIGHT MEASUREMENT

A single espresso is made with 14 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 finer espresso grind, you will need to increase the grind amount to ensure the filter is correctly filled.

TAMPING CORRECTLY

Level the desired amount of coffee by gently tapping the side of the portafilter before pressing down firmly 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 portafilter, 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 filter 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 floats 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 fineness of the grind and the tamping pressure (pressed down). We recommend experimenting by varying these factors to achieve the espresso taste of your preference.

NOTE:

Always properly clean your machine after each use.

Care and Cleaning

CARE AND CLEANING

CLEANING THE STEAM WAND AND FROTHING ATTACHMENT

• The steam wand and frothing attachment should always be cleaned after frothing milk
• Remove the frothing attachment and rinse in warm tap water. Ensure the two fine steam holes on either end of the frothing attachment are clear. Use the pin on the cleaning tool to unblock these holes.

• Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth, and then with the steam wand directed back into the drip tray, briefly set the Selector Control to the 'Steam' position. This will clear any remaining milk from inside the steam wand.

• Ensure the Selector Control is in the 'Standby' position. Press the POWER button, unplug from the power outlet and allow the machine to cool.

• If the Steam Wand remains blocked, use the pin on the cleaning tool to clear the opening.
• If the steam wand continues to be blocked, the tip of the steam wand can be removed by using the spanner in the middle of the cleaning tool.
• Soak the tip in hot water before using the pin on the cleaning tool to unblock. Replace the tip back onto the steam wand and secure with the cleaning tool.

CLEANING THE FILTERS, PORTAFILTER AND GROUP HEAD

• The stainless steel filters and portafilter should be rinsed under water directly after use to remove all coffee particles. Should the fine holes in the filters become blocked, the fine pin on the cleaning tool can be used to clear the holes.
• The group head interior should be wiped with a damp cloth to remove any ground espresso coffee particles.
• Periodically run water through the machine with the portafilter in place, but without any ground espresso coffee, to rinse out any residual espresso coffee particles.

CARE AND CLEANING

CLEANING THE OUTER HOUSING / CUP WARMING PLATE

• The outer housing and cup warming plate can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Then polish with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which can scratch the surface.

CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY

• The drip tray should be removed, emptied and cleaned at regular intervals, particularly when the drip tray full indicator is showing 'Empty Me!'.
• Remove the stainless steel grid and 'Empty Me!' indicator from the drip tray, wash with warm soapy water, using a non-abrasive washing liquid, rinse and dry thoroughly. The 'Empty Me!' indicator can be removed from the drip tray by inserting fingers into two holes in the corners and pulling upwards to release the side latches.

CLEANING THE STORAGE TRAY

• The storage tray can be removed after the drip tray is removed then cleaned with a soft, damp cloth (do not use 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 flow, 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 portafilter 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 flowing, set the Selector Control back to 'Standby' position.
• After decalcifying, remove the water tank and rinse thoroughly then re-fill with fresh cold water. To rinse the machine, repeat previous steps.

WARNING: DO NOT IMMERSE CORD, PLUG OR APPLIANCE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID. THE WATER TANK SHOULD NEVER BE REMOVED OR COMPLETELY EMPTIED DURING DECALCIFYING.

ESPRESSO VARIATIONS

ESPRESSO

Intense and aromatic, an espresso or short black as it's also known uses about 14 oz (7g) of ground espresso coffee. It is served in a small cup or glass to a level of approximately 2 oz (30 ml).

LONGBLACK

A long black is generally served as a standard espresso with hot water added to taste.

FLAT WHITE

A single dose of espresso in a cup topped with steamed milk, 13 coffee and 13 milk.

ESPRESSO VARIATIONS (continued)

CLASSIC CAFE LATTÉ

Traditionally the morning coffee of Italy and France, taken with pain au chocolate or sweet biscotti. This blend of 13 espresso to 12 milk is made with a single shot of espresso. Top with steamed milk, poured down the inside rim of the glass to give a creamy consistency and perfect layer of froth.

CAPPUCCINO

The real thing is served very light and luke warm with 13 espresso to 13 steamed milk and a generous final third of creamy froth. For added finesse, hold a piece of card over one half of the cappuccino before dusting with chocolate.

MACCHIATO

A shot of espresso served short in a 2 12 oz (70 ml) demitasse and stained with a dash of finely frothed milk.

ESPRESSO VARIATIONS (continued)

MOCHA FRAPPE (SERVES TWO)

Ready in minutes this impressive refresher will delight chocolate and coffee drinkers alike. Melt two heaped teaspoons of quality chocolate bits into a double shot of espresso. Add 12 cup cold milk and 9 ice cubes and process in blender on a low speed to a smooth, velvety consistency. Pour evenly into two glasses and serve immediately.

ESPRESSO AFFOGATO

Totally irresistible, this sweet temptation is simply a single scoop of premium vanilla bean ice cream, drenched in espresso and if desired, your favorite liqueur. To create a sense of occasion, serve ice cream in a martini glass with shots on the side.

CON PANNA

Meaning 'with cream' this heart warmer is a chic variation on old-fashioned Vienna Coffee. In a 2-4 oz (90-120ml) cup, dress a double shot of espresso with a dollop of fresh cream, whipped until glossy. Dust with cinnamon and serve immediately.
