IMPORTANT FIRST STEPS Before using your Breville® PrimaLatte™ you need to clean it then prime it following the steps below.

Remove any packaging, stickers or labels.

Remove the water tank then remove the red shipping plug from the bottom of the tank. Discard the plug (fig. A). The unit will not work unless you remove this plug. Wash the water tank, milk tank, filter holder, filters and measuring spoon in warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly. Fill the water tank with cold tap water (fig. B). Don’t exceed the MAX marking. Refit the tank. Fill the milk tank with cold tap water (fig. C). Don’t exceed the MAX marking. Refit the tank. The milk tank is a tight fit and you will have to hold the main unit in order to apply sufficent force to push it all the way in. The Cappuccino button and Latte button lights will only come on when the milk tank is correctly fitted. Fit any one of the filters into the filter holder, then fit and lock the filter holder to the brew head—see using the filter holder for more details. Place a large cup (approx. 250 – 300 ml) under the filter holder (fig. D). Plug your Breville® PrimaLatte™ in to a power socket and set the on/off switch to ON. The three button lights will flash slowly while the unit is heating up. Once they stop flashing and remain lit, press and hold the Espresso button for 3 seconds. Water will flow into the cup. Wait until the water stops flowing (the three buttons will light up). Empty the cup and replace it under the filter holder. Position the milk froth tube over the cup using the milk froth tube lever (Fig. E). Press and hold the Cappuccino button for 3 seconds. Wait until steam and water stop flowing from the froth tube (the three buttons will light up). Your Breville® PrimaLatte™ is now ready to use however, you will need to fill the milk tank with milk if you are going to make Cappuccino or Latte drinks or use the milk frother.

If you leave the unit on for 15 minutes without using it, it will go into sleep mode and the three button lights will go out. Press any button to reactivate it.

CUP SELECTION Select your cup according to the following chart: Drink Espresso Cappuccino

To use a smaller cup, like a demitasse cup, you need to extend the height adjustment tray (fig. F) and place the cup onto it.

COFFEE The coffee should be freshly ground and dark roasted—French or Italian roast is ideal for espresso. Preground coffee will retain its flavour for 7-8 days if stored in an airtight container and in a cool, dark place.

Coffee beans will retain their flavour for up to 4 weeks if stored in the same way. Never refrigerate or freeze coffee beans or ground coffee. Grinding coffee correctly is vital to making great espresso and takes practice. Use a quality grinder for best results. •

Correctly ground coffee has the consistency of table salt.

Too fine and the water won’t flow through the coffee correctly. Avoid grinding the beans to a powdery, flour-like consistency.

Too coarse and the water will flow through the coffee too fast giving a weak flavour and pale colour.

Water Tank: Fill the water tank with cold tap water only. You can fill the water tank using a jug or remove it and fill it under the tap. Never fill it above the MAX mark. Close the lid after filling and place the tank tightly back in its place.

Milk Tank: If you are making Cappuccino or Latte you will need to fill the milk tank. Pull the tank out of the unit (fig. G). The tank is a tight fit and may need a strong pull. Pour milk into the tank without exceeding the MAX mark. It’s best to add only as much milk as you think you’ll need. Always use chilled milk as this will create the best froth. Refit the tank pushing it firmly into place. The milk tank is a tight fit and you will have to hold the main unit in order to apply sufficent force to push it all the way in. The Cappuccino button and Latte button lights will only come on when the milk tank is correctly fitted. You can store unused milk directly in the milk tank by removing it and putting it in the refrigerator. Alternatively, dispose of any unused milk and clean the tank after use.

USING THE FILTER HOLDER Selecting and fitting a filter

Your Breville® PrimaLatte™ is supplied with three filters single shot, double shot and pod for Easy Serving

Espresso (ESE) pods. The double shot filter can be used for a double shot or for two single shots. The pod filter is designed to be used only with 45 mm pods. Fit the filter by lining up the dimple moulded on the edge of the filter with the slot in the filter holder (fig. H). Rotate the filter slightly to the left or right to stop the filter from falling out (fig. I). To remove the filter, rotate the filter to realign the dimple with the notch then lift the filter out.

Filling the filter holder

Make sure that the filter and filter holder are completely dry. Fill the filter with fresh ground coffee using the measuring scoop (fig. J). Use a single scoop for a single shot or two scoops for a double shot. Use the flat end of the scoop to tamp (compress) the coffee firmly and evenly (fig. K). The coffee should be approximately 3 mm below the rim of the filter when correctly tamped (fig. L). Clean any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder so that it will seal properly when the filter holder is fitted to the brewing head. If you are using ESE pods, place the pod into the pod filter holder. If the pod has a tab or flap, fold it inside the filter so it doesn’t stick out.

Fitting/removing the filter holder

Position the filter holder under the brewing head with the handle lined up with the unlocked symbol ( the unit (fig. M).

using your Breville® PrimaLatte™

Move the handle to the right as far as it will go until it lines up with the locked symbol ( ) on the unit. To remove the filter holder, move the handle to the left until it is lined up with the unlocked symbol ( ).

Emptying the filter holder

!!Caution: The filter holder will be HOT—take care when handling it!

To empty the used coffee from the filter holder, position the filter lock over the rim of the filter and hold it in place with your thumb (fig. N). This will hold the filter in place so you can invert and tap the filter holder to remove the used coffee.

Fit a filter to the filter holder (single shot, double shot or pod).

Add the ground coffee and tamp it down or, if using pods, place a pod into the pod filter. Fit the filter holder to the brewing head. Place a suitable cup under the brewing head. Use the height adjustment tray if necessary. Press the Espresso button. If you are making a single shot, press it once. The small cup icon ( ) will light. For a double shot, press the button twice. The large cup icon ( ) will light. Your espresso will be brewed and when the brewing cycle has finished, the three buttons will light up. You can stop the brewing process at any time by pressing any button.
