OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE PRODUCT

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 water tank located at the back of the machine by pulling down the water tank handle. Remove the plastic bag containing the water filter and water filter holder. Clean parts and accessories (water tank, portafilter, filter baskets, jug) using warm water and a gentle dish washing liquid. Rinse well then dry thoroughly.

TIP

To easily maneuver your machine, use the drop down swivel foot located under the drip tray. When turned to UNLOCK, the swivel foot drops down and lifts the machine upwards, making it easier to access the removable water tank or reposition the machine to another location.

INSTALLING THE WATER FILTER

• Remove the water filter and water filter holder from the plastic bag.
  Soak the filter in a cup of water for 5 minutes then rinse under cold running water.
• Wash the filter holder with cold water, taking specific care to rinse the stainless steel mesh.

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE PRODUCT

TRANSPORTING AND STORING

We recommend draining both boilers completely before transporting the machine or storing for an extended period of time. This procedure is also intended as an anti freeze measure in the event the machine is exposed to extreme cold temperatures.

CAUTION

Never open DESCALE ACCESS valves while machine is still hot. Always turn off the machine and allow to cool for at least 1 hour prior to starting descale process.

CAUTION

During descale process, water may flow through group head and the drip tray will fill with water.

Step 1 - Preparation

a) Ensure the machine is off and has cooled for at least 1 hour.
b) Empty water tank, remove water filter then replace and lock water tank back into position.
c) Ensure drip tray is empty and fully inserted into position.

Step 2 - Empty Boilers

a) Remove the grey silicone cover on the lower front panel marked DESCALCE ACCESS. Place a cloth over the drip tray to stop steam escaping.

b) Use a flat-head screwdriver to rotate the right screw counter-clockwise until the valve is fully open. As the valve opens, steam may be released.

CAUTION HOT WATER & STEAM

oPERAtInG yoUR BREvILLE PRodUCT

c) Next, repeat the process on the left screw. As the valve is opened, water may begin flowing into the drip tray.
d) Allow valves to remain open until no more water or steam escapes.
c) Close both valves by rotating screws clockwise until seated. Do not overtighten screws to avoid damaging the valves. Replace the grey silicone cover over the valves.

DESCALE ACCESS

f) Empty drip tray and reinsert into position. Use caution as the drip tray may be hot due to the water and steam from the boilers.

COFFEE MAKING TIPS & PREPARATION

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 expresso. 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 water by-passes the ground coffee during extraction.

SELECTING 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 and close 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 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.

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 expresso.

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 resultingpresso will be UNDER-EXTRACTED and lacking in color and flavor.

COFFEE MAKING TIPS & PREPARATION

DOSE AND TAMPING

Wipe filter basket with a dry cloth.
If using Single Wall filter baskets, grind just enough coffee to fill the filter basket. You may need to experiment with how long the grinder needs to run to achieve the correct dose.
- Tap the portafilter several times to distribute the coffee evenly in the filter basket.
Tamp down firmly (using approx. 30-40 lbs or 15-20 kg of pressure). The amount of pressure is not as important as consistent pressure every time.
As a guide to dose, the top edge of the metal 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 Razor" 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 Razer'to dose trimming tool back and forth while holding the portalfilter on an angle over a knock box to trim off excess coffee grinds. Your filter basket is now closed 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.

TIP

If the extraction is too fast, make the grind finer & repeat above steps. If the extraction is too slow, make the grind coarser and repeat above steps.

PURGING THE GROUP HEAD

Before placing the portal filter into the group head, run a short flow of water through the group head by pressing and holding the 1 CUP button. Allow water to flow for 5 seconds, then release the 1 CUP button to stop the flow of water. This will purge any ground coffee residue from the group head and stabilize the temperature prior to extraction.

CoffEE MAkInG tIPS & PREPARAtIon

InSERtInG thE PoRtAflLtER

Place the portafilter underneath the group head so the handle is aligned with the INSERT position. Insert the portafilter into the group head and rotate to the right until the handle is securely locked in place. Rotating past the center will not damage the silicone seal.

EXtRACtInG ESPRESSo

• Place pre-warmed cup(s) beneath the portal filter and press the MANUAL, 1 CUP or 2 CUP button.
  As a guide, the espresso will start to flow after 9-14 seconds (this includes pre-infusion time) and should be the consistency of dripping honey.
  If the espresso starts to flow before 9 seconds you have either under dosed the filter basket and/or the grind is too coarse. This is an UNDER-EXTRACTED shot.
  If the expresso starts to drip or flow after 14 seconds, then you have either over dosed the filter basket and/or the grind is too fine. This is an OVER-EXTRACTED shot.

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.

tEXtURInG MILk

Always start with fresh cold milk.
Fill the jug just below the "V" at the bottom of the spout.
Position the steam tip above the drip tray and lift the STEAM LEVER to purge the steam wand of any condensed water.
Insert the steam tip 14 - 3% (1-2cm) below the surface of the milk, close to the right hand side of the jug at the 3 o'clock position.
Move the STEAM LEVER to the OPEN position.
- 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. The milk is at the correct temperature (140 - 150°C for 60 - 65°C) when the jug is hot to touch.
- Move the STEAM LEVER to the CLOSED position BEFORE taking the tip out of the milk.
- Set the jug to one side. Wipe the wand & tip with a damp cloth. Position the steam tip above the drip tray and lift the steam lever to purge out any residual milk.
- Tap the jug on the bench 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.

CoffEE MAkInG tIPS & PREPARAtIon

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.
