Assembly

BEFORE FIRST USE

Machine Preparation

Remove and discard all labels and packaging materials attached to your espresso machine. Ensure you have removed all parts and accessories before discarding the packaging. Remove the packaging and the plastics bags containing the water filter and water filter holder. Clean parts and accessories (water tank, portafilter, filter basket, jug) using warm water and a gentle dish washing liquid. Rinse well then dry thoroughly.

INSTALLING THE WATER FILTER

• Remove the water filter and water filter holder from the plastic bag.
• Soak the filter in cold water for 5 minutes.
• Wash the filter holder with cold water.

• Set the reminder for next month of replacement. We recommend to replace the filter after 3 months.

• Insert the filter into the two parts of the filter holder.
• To install the assembled filter holder into the water tank, align the base of the filter holder with the adapter inside the water tank. Push down to lock into place.

• Fill the water tank with cold water before sliding back into position at the back of the machine and locking into place.

NOTE

Replacing the water filter after three months or 10.6 USgal / 40L will reduce the need to descale the machine. Filter can be purchased at Breville webpage.

NOTE

DO NOT use highly filtered, demineralised or distilled water in this machine. This may affect the taste of the coffee.

Functions

FIRSTUSE

1. Press POWER button to turn the machine on.
2. Follow the instructions on screen to guide you through first use setup.
3. After completing setup, the machine will tell that it is ready to use.

< Your Barista Touch is now ready

Select the guide to find out more about your Barista Touch or exit to proceed to your drink selection

The machine is now in STANDBY mode.

1. Touch "Guide" and the machine will guide you step by step to make your first coffee. Touch the and go to the Drinks Menu or < to repeat the Setup. To repeat the Guide at any time, go to Settings Menu.

NOTE

If your water hardness is either 4 or 5 when tested, we strongly recommend you change to an alternate water source.

Filtered, bottled spring or mineral water will extend both the life of your built-in filter and descale intervals as well as superior taste. Please ensure to test the water hardness of the alternative water source you've chosen and input into the machine accordingly. Avoid using overly filtered water, like RO water unless some mineral content is being added back to the final water. Never use distilled water, or water with no or low mineral content as this will affect both the taste.

ATTACHING THE DRIP TRAY

• Place the drip tray grill on top of the drip tray.

• Machines with color, attach the drip tray protection guard cover on the drip tray.

• Slide the drip tray into the machine.

NOTE

Using the drip tray protection guard cover is optional. But note that using the drip tray protection guard can protect your drip tray from dents and scratches

GRINDING OPERATION

Insert bean hopper into position on-top of the machine. Turn dial to lock into place. Fill hopper with fresh beans.

NOTE

This machine is designed only for whole roasted coffee beans. Avoid grinding unroasted green and under-roasted coffee beans. These are dense and not brittle enough to run through a burr grinder. This will damage or break burr grinders and even pose a safety risk.

TIP

We recommend quality 100 % Arabica beans with a 'Roasted On' date stamped on the bag, not a 'Best Before' or 'Use By' date. Coffee beans are best consumed between 5- 20 days after the 'Roasted On' date. Stale coffee may pour too quickly from the portafilter spouts and taste bitter and watery.

DRINK SELECTION

To enter Drinks Menu screen, touch the Home icon. Swipe & select your drink. Touch the 'Help & Tip' icon i to see Barista Touch™ Guide.

NOTE

Please keep the touch screen dry and clean to ensure that the machine functions properly.

SETTING GRIND SIZE

Selecting Your Filter Basket

Choose and insert the Filter Basket into the Portafilter for the number of coffees or strength you are making. Use the Single Cup Filter Basket for making a single cup or a weaker tasting espresso. Use the Double Cup Filter Basket for making 2 cups or a stronger tasting espresso, usually for mugs or larger cups. See 'TIPS' for more detailed guide.

In the touchscreen, select the chosen filter basket by touching the toggle option under the 'Grind' button.

The grind size will affect the rate of water flow through the coffee in the filter basket and the flavor of the espresso. When setting the grind size, it should be fine but not too fine and powdery. When trying a new coffee, it may take 2 or 3 tries to identify the correct grind size for your coffee.

There are numbered settings on the touchscreen. The smaller the number, the finer the grind size. The larger the number, the coarser the grind size.

Automatic Dosing

• Ensure the hopper is locked into position and is filled with fresh coffee beans.
• Insert the required filter basket into the portafilter.
• Attach and twist the dosing funnel onto the portafilter.
• Insert the portafilter (with the dosing funnel) into the grinding cradle.

• Touch the 'Grind' button once, or push and release the portafilter to engage the grinding activation switch. Then allow fresh ground coffee to fill the portafilter.

• Grinding will automatically stop, however if you wish to stop grinding before the cycle has finished, push and release the portafilter.

NOTE

It is normal for the portafilter to appear overfilled with ground coffee.

Manual Dosing

• If you prefer to manually dose, with the portafilter inserted in the grinding cradle, push and hold the portafilter to engage the grinding activation switch. Continue holding until the desired amount of ground coffee has been dosed.
• To stop grinding, release the portafilter. This will release the grinding activation switch and stop the grinding function.

Tamping the Ground Coffee

• Once grinding is complete, carefully withdraw the portafilter from the grinding cradle.
• Tap the portafilter several times to collapse and distribute the coffee evenly in the filter basket.
  Tamp down firmly using approx. 22-33lbs (10-15kgs) of pressure. The amount of pressure is not as important as consistent pressure every time.
  After tamping, remove the dosing funnel from the portafilter.

NOTE

As a guide, the top edge of the cap on the tamper should be level with the top of the filter basket AFTER the coffee has been tamped.

Trimming the Dose

The Razor™ precision dose trimming tool allows you to trim the puck to the right level for a consistent extraction.

• Insert the RazorTM dose trimming tool into the filter basket until the shoulders of the tool rest on the rim of the basket. The blade of the dose trimming tool should penetrate the surface of the tamped coffee.
• Rotate the Razor™ dose trimming tool back and forth while holding the portafilter on an angle over a knock box to trim off excess coffee grinds. Your filter basket is now dosed with the correct amount of coffee.

• Wipe excess coffee from the rim of the filter basket to ensure a proper seal is achieved in the group head.

Purging the Group Head

Before placing the portafilter into the group head, run a short flow of water through the group head by touching the 'Brew' button. This will stabilize the temperature prior to extraction.

Inserting the Portafilter

NOTE

DO NOT insert the portafilter with the dosing funnel in the group-head.

Place the portafilter underneath the group head so that the handle is aligned with the INSERT position. Insert the portafilter into the group head and rotate the handle towards the center until resistance is felt.

ESPRESSO EXTRACTION

Align portafilter handle with the INSERT position on the group head. Lift to insert portafilter into the group head and rotate towards the LOCK TIGHT position until resistance is felt.

Touch the 'Brew' button on the display to start extraction. You can switch between single shot, double shot or Custom by touching the 'Single', 'Double' or Custom button. The duration times are preset, but can be customized.

MANUAL OVERRIDE

Press and hold the 'Brew' button (approx 2secs) to enter manual extraction mode. Touch the Brew button to start the extraction, touch the Brew button to stop the extraction.

NOTE

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

• Touching the 'Brew' button during a preset shot volume will immediately stop the extraction.

• For optimal flavor when using a 1 CUP filter basket, you should extract approx. 1oz/30ml . When using a 2 CUP filter basket, you should extract approx. 2oz/60ml .

TEXTURING MILK

Different brands and types of milk and milk alternatives will texture differently. You may need to adjust the froth level accordingly. Start with fresh cold milk. Fill milk jug to below the spout position. Lift steam wand and insert into milk jug. Lower steam wand, ensuring it is fully down. The milk jug should rest on the milk temperature sensor located on the drip tray and milk should cover the ring around steam wand tip. The toggle button under the 'Milk' button will show you whether you placed the milk jug correctly.

NOTE

Use the indicator on the screen for the correct milk jug position.

Under the 'Milk' button, temperature level and froth level are displayed. They are preset based on the drink you've chosen but you can customize by touching those options.

To start, touch the 'Milk' button. The screen will display the temperature of the milk as it heats. Milk texturing will stop automatically when the selected milk temperature is reached.

Lift steam wand to remove milk jug. Wipe the wand & tip with a clean damp cloth. Lower steam wand to the down position and the wand will automatically purge.

NOTE

Prior to texturing milk, it is recommended to momentarily purge the steam wand by first touching the 'Milk' button. Touching the button again will stop steam delivery.

MANUAL MILK TEXTURING

Auto milk texturing and auto shut-off are disabled during manual milk texturing mode. Lift the steam wand. Start frothing by touching the button. When frothing is done, touch the Milk button to stop.

Wipe the wand & tip with a clean damp cloth. Lower steam wand to the down position and the wand will automatically purge.

CAUTION: BURN HAZARD

Pressurized steam can still be released, even after machine has been switched off. Children must always be supervised.

NOTE

• When the machine creates steam, a pumping noise can be heard. This is the normal operation of the Italian pump.
  After 90 seconds of continuous steaming, the machine will automatically disable the steam function.
• Use exclusively the stainless steel milk jug included in the pack to froth milk. The use of container made of glass or plastic material to froth milk may lead to dangerous conditions.

AMERICANO

There are 3 preset Americano settings - Small (6oz / 180ml), Medium (8oz / 240ml), and Large (12oz / 360ml). Grind dose & tamp your portafilter & insert into the group head. Position your cup underneath the portafilter spouts & the hot water spout. The hot water is delivered first, and espresso will be extracted after that.

Tips

PRE-HEATING

Heating your cup or glass

A warm cup will help maintain the coffee's optimal temperature. Pre-heat your cup by rinsing with hot water from the hot water outlet and place on the cup warming tray.

Heating the portafilter and filter basket

A cold portafilter and filter basket can reduce the extraction temperature enough to significantly affect the quality of your espresso. Always ensure the portafilter and filter basket are pre-heated with hot water from the hot water outlet before initial use.

NOTE

Always wipe the portafilter and filter basket dry before dosing with ground coffee as moisture can encourage 'channeling' where waterbypasses the ground coffee during extraction.

SELECTING A FILTER BASKET

Single Wall Filter Baskets

Use Single Wall filter baskets if grinding fresh whole coffee beans.

Single Wall filter baskets allow you to experiment with grind, dose and tamp to create a more balanced espresso.

1CUP2CUP

Dual Wall Filter Baskets

Use Dual Wall filter baskets if using pre-ground coffee.

Dual Wall filter baskets regulate the pressure and help to optimize the extraction regardless of the grind, dose, tamp pressure or freshness.

1CUP2CUP

NOTE

• Regardless of whether you use Single Wall or Dual Wall filter baskets, use the 1 CUP basket when brewing a single cup and the 2 CUP basket when brewing two cups or a stronger single cup or mug.
• You will need to adjust the grind amount and size if switching from a single basket to a double basket, or vice versa.

The provided filter baskets are designed for:

1 CUP basket = approx. 8-11g.
2 CUP basket = approx. 16-19g.

NOTE

You may need to experiment with how much coffee is inserted into the filter basket or how long the grinder needs to run to achieve the correct dose. For example, when using a finer espresso grind with the Single Wall filter baskets, you may need to increase the grind amount to ensure the filter basket is correctly dosed.

THE GRIND

If grinding coffee beans, the grind size should be fine but not too fine. The grind size will affect the rate at which the water flows through the ground coffee in the filter basket and 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 espresso will be OVER EXTRACTED, dark in color and bitter in flavor.

If the grind is too coarse the water will flow through the ground coffee in the filter basket too quickly. The resulting espresso will be UNDER EXTRACTED and lacking in color and flavor.

EXTRACTING ESPRESSO

• Place pre-warmed cup(s) beneath the portafilter and touch the 'Brew' button for the desired volume.
• Due to pre-infusion time, the espresso will not start to flow immediately.

A great espresso is about achieving the perfect balance between sweetness, acidity and bitterness. The flavor of your coffee will depend on many factors, such as the type of coffee beans, degree of roast, freshness, coarseness or fineness of the grind, dose of ground coffee, and tamping pressure.

Experiment by adjusting these factors just one at a time to achieve the taste of your preference.

CORRECT EXTRACTION

• Flow starts after 8-12 secs
• Flow slow like warm honey
• Crema is golden brown with a fine mousse texture
• Espresso is dark brown

AFTER EXTRACTION
REMOVE USED GRINDS

Used grinds will form a coffee 'puck'. If the puck is wet, refer to the 'Under Extraction' section.

RINSE FILTER BASKET

Keep the filter basket clean to prevent blockages. Without ground coffee in the filter basket, lock the portafilter into the machine and run hot water through by pressing single or double cup.

UNDER EXTRACTION

• Flow starts after 1-7 secs
• Flow fast like water
• Crema is thin and pale
• Espresso is pale brown
  Tastes bitter/sharp, weak and watery

SOLUTIONS

Tamp using 22-33lb of pressure. The top edge of metal cap on the tamper should be level with the top of the filter basket AFTER tamping. Remove the dosing funnel from the portafilter then trim the puck to the right level using the Razor precision dose trimming tool.

OVER EXTRACTION

• Flow starts after 13 secs
• Flow drips or not at all
• Crema is dark and spotty
• Espresso is very dark brown
  Tastes bitter and burnt

SOLUTIONS

Tamp using 22-33lb of pressure. The top edge of metal cap on the tamper should be level with the top of the filter basket AFTER tamping. Remove the dosing funnel from the portafilter then trim the puck to the right level using the Razor precision dose trimming tool.

HINTS & TIPS

• Fresh, quality coffee beans will give you the best possible extraction.
  We recommend quality 100% Arabica beans with a 'Roasted On' date stamped on the bag, not a 'Best Before' or 'Use By' date.
• Coffee beans are best consumed between 5-20 days after the 'Roasted On' date. Ideally only grind directly before the extraction to maximize flavor.
• Buy coffee beans in small batches to reduce the storage time.
• Store coffee beans in a cool, dark and dry container. Vacuum seal if possible.

TEXTURING MILK

There are two phases to texturing milk. The first is stretching the milk to aerate it and the second is swirling the milk to make it silky smooth. These two operations should blend into one.

Always start with fresh cold milk.
- Fill milk jug to below the spout position. At a minimum, there should be enough milk to cover the ring around steam wand.
- To remove any condensed water from the system, ensure the steam wand is in the down position over the drip tray then touch the Milk button, allow steam to flow for a few seconds, then touch the Milk button to stop.
- When texturing milk automatically, ensure the steam wand is fully down.

HINTS & TIPS

For optimum milk texturing performance it is critical that the holes around the steam tip are clear. Even partially blocked holes may affect the ability of the steam wand to produce sufficient foam.

Always wipe the wand and tip with a damp cloth BEFORE returning the wand to the down position. Wiping the wand will remove the majority of milk and allow the automatic purge feature to more effectively remove any residual milk.

After texturing is complete

• Tap the jug on the counter-top to collapse any bubbles.
• Swirl the jug to polish and re-integrate the texture.
• Pour milk directly into the espresso.
• The key is to work quickly, before the milk begins to separate.

For manual texturing

• Lift the steam wand and insert the steam tip 0.4-0.8 inch / 1-2 cm below the surface of the milk close to the right hand side of the jug at the 3 o'clock position. Enter manual frothing mode & then start frothing by touching the 'Milk' button.
• Keep the tip just under the surface of the milk until the milk is spinning clockwise, producing a vortex (whirlpool effect).
• With the milk spinning, slowly lower the jug. This will bring the steam tip to the surface of the milk & start to introduce air into the milk. You may have to gently break the surface of the milk with the tip to get the milk spinning fast enough.
• Keep the tip at or slightly below the surface, continuing to maintain the vortex. Texture the milk until sufficient volume is obtained.
• Lift the handle of the jug to lower the tip beneath the surface, but keep the vortex of milk spinning. Use the touch screen to monitor the milk temperature. We recommend 130^ - 150^ / 55^ - 65^ .
• Touch the Milk button to stop steaming BEFORE lowering the jug and taking the tip out of the milk.

ADJUSTING CONICAL BURRS

Some types of coffee may require a wider grind range to achieve an ideal extraction or brew. A feature of your Barista Touch™ is the ability to extend this range with an adjustable upper burr. We recommend making only one adjustment at a time.

REPLACING THE WATER FILTER

Set current month

Soak Filter for 5 min

Assemble water filter parts

Ensure parts are connected

Install filter in tank

Install water tank

Replace filter after 90 days or after 40L

The provided water filter helps prevent scale build-up in and on many of the inner functioning components. Replacing the water filter after three months or 10.6 USgal / 40L will reduce the need to descale the machine.

The limitation of 10.6 USgal / 40L is based on water hardness level 4. If you are in level 2 area, you can increase this to 16 USgal / 60L.

NOTE

To purchase water filters visit Breville webpage.

CLEANING CYCLE

There will be a message prompt when a cleaning cycle is required. This is a back-flushing cycle and is separate from descending. Follow the instruction on the screen.

DESCALING

After regular use, hard water can cause mineral build up in and on many of the inner functioning components, reducing the brewing flow, brewing temperature, power of the machine, and taste of the espresso. Even if you used the provided water filter, we recommend you to descale if there is scale build-up in the water tank.

Go to 'Settings' and select 'Descale cycle'. Follow the instructions on the screen.

WARNING

Do not immerse power cord, power plug or appliance in water or any other liquid. The water tank should never be removed or completely emptied during descaling.

• Go to 'Settings' > 'Steam wand cleaning' and follow the guide on the screen.

CLEANING THE FILTER BASKETS AND PORTAFILTER

• The filter baskets and portafilter should be rinsed under hot water immediately after use to remove all residual coffee oils.
• If any of the holes in the filter basket become blocked, use the pin on the end of the provided cleaning tool to unblock the hole(s).
• If the hole(s) remain blocked, dissolve a cleaning tablet in hot water and soak filter basket and portafilter in solution for approx. 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.

• The group head interior and shower screen should be wiped with a damp cloth to remove any ground coffee particles.
  Periodically purge the machine. Place an empty filter basket and portafilter into the group head. Touch the 'Brew' button and run a short flow of water to rinse out any residual coffee.

CLEANING THE DRIP & STORAGE TRAY

• The drip tray should be removed, emptied, and cleaned at regular intervals, particularly when the drip tray full indicator is visibly floating.
• Remove the grid from the drip tray. Lift the coffee grind separator and dispose of any coffee grounds. The drip tray full indicator can also be removed from the drip tray by pulling upwards to release the side latches. Wash all parts in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• The storage tray (located behind the drip tray) can be removed and cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which can scratch the surface.

NOTE

All parts should be cleaned by hand using warm water and a gentle dish washing liquid. Do not use abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which can scratch the surface. Do not clean any of the parts or accessories in the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE OUTER HOUSING & CUP WARMING TRAY

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

STORING YOUR MACHINE

Before storing, press the POWER button to switch the machine off and remove the plug from the power outlet. Remove unused beans from the hopper, clean the grinder (see page 24), empty the water tank and the drip tray. Ensure the machine is cool, clean and dry. Insert all accessories into the storage tray. Store upright. Do not place anything on top.

WARNING

Do not immerse power cord, power plug or appliance in water or any other liquid.

REPLACING THE SILICONE SEAL

Over time, the silicone seal surrounding the shower screen will need to be replaced to ensure optimum brewing performance.

1. Press the POWER button to switch the machine off and unplug the cord from the power outlet.
2. Carefully remove the water tank and drip tray, taking particular care if they are full.
3. Using a skewer or similar, clean the center of the screw of any residual coffee.
4. Insert a flat head screwdriver into the center of the screw. Turn counter-clockwise to loosen the screw.

1. Once loosened, carefully remove and retain the screw and the stainless steel shower screen. Make note of the side of the shower screen that is downwards. This will make re-assembly easier. Wash the shower screen in warm soapy water, then dry thoroughly.

2. Remove the silicone seal with your fingers or a pair of long-nose pliers. Insert the new seal, flat side first, so the ribbed side is facing you.

1. Re-insert the shower screen, then the screw. With your fingers, turn the screw clockwise for 2-3 revolutions then insert flat head screwdriver to tighten until the screw is flush with the shower screen. Do not overtighten screw.
2. Re-insert the drip tray and water tank.

Contact Breville Consumer Support or visit the Breville webpage for replacement silicone seals or for advice.
