Frequently Asked Questions - the Barista Express BES876 BREVILLE

How to adjust the grind size on the Barista Express BES876?
Turn the grind size adjustment dial located on the side of the machine. Number 16 is a good starting point. The smaller the number, the finer the grind. Adjust based on extraction: if espresso flows too fast, grind finer; too slow, grind coarser.
What to do if the coffee dose in the portafilter is insufficient after tamping?
If the dose level is below the middle bar, the machine enters 'A Bit More' mode: the dose button flashes. Press it to add a little more grind, then tamp again. The machine remembers the ideal dose for subsequent cycles.
How to clean the steam wand after each use?
Wipe the wand with a damp cloth, then briefly purge it by turning the dial to STEAM to remove milk residues inside. If holes are clogged, use the thin rod of the provided cleaning tool to unclog them.
Why doesn't the pressure gauge rise during extraction?
This generally indicates underdosing or too coarse a grind. Use fresh beans, adjust grind finer, or switch to dual wall baskets if coffee is pre-ground or old.
How to program the water volume for one cup or two cups?
Press and hold the 1 cup and 2 cup buttons for 3 seconds until they flash. Press the desired button to start the extraction, then press again to stop. The volume will be saved.
How often should I descale the machine?
The maintenance light stays on when descaling is needed. Use the provided Breville descaling powder. First remove the water filter, fill the tank with the solution, then follow the descaling cycle described in the manual.
How to use the Razor tool to adjust the dose?
After tamping, if the level is too high (overdosing), insert the Razor tool into the basket until it rests on the rim. Rotate it back and forth while tilting the portafilter over the knock box to remove excess coffee.
What to do if the grinder stops before grinding the desired amount?
This may be due to too fine a grind clogging the grinder. Clean the conical burrs using the provided brush and tool. You can also set a coarser grind before restarting.
Can I use pre-ground coffee with this machine?
Yes, use the dual wall filter baskets (included) which regulate pressure for optimal extraction with pre-ground coffee or beans roasted more than 30 days ago.
How to purge the grinder to get fresh coffee in the morning?
Press and hold the dose button to run the grinder empty for a few seconds. This removes leftover grounds from the previous day. In automatic mode, remove the portafilter after purging and discard the grounds.

NOTE

  • When making changes to the grind size, the new auto dosing time will be calculated after your next tamp and updated for the dose cycle following that.
  • For most bean varieties, the grinder will automatically switch off when the beans get too low to complete a dose.

BREVILLE the Barista Express BES876 - NOTE - 1

TIP

Changing the grind size affects the dose in the portafilter. A finer grind size may cause an under dose requiring 'A Bit More'. A coarser grind size may cause an over dose. To avoid an over dose, press and hold the 'Filter' button for 3 seconds, reducing the grind time by 3 seconds.

DOSING

  • Ensure the bean hopper is locked on the machine and filled with fresh coffee beans.
  • Insert the filter basket required, into the portafilter.

BREVILLE the Barista Express BES876 - DOSING - 5

NOTE

If the 'Dose' button is not illuminated, check that the portafilter is inserted securely in the cradle, the bean hopper is locked in position and the tamp lever is in the up-home position.

TAMPING

When the grind cycle is completed, the 'Tamp' light indicator blinks.

- Push the lever downwards to the end position until a beep sound plays. This will tamp the coffee grinds in the portafilter using a consistent amount of tamp force. Pushing the lever slowly and consistently will help to improve the puck appearance.

BEEP!

- Release the lever slowly upwards to the home position after tamping.

BREVILLE the Barista Express BES876 - TAMPING - 2

TIP

It is recommended to tamp twice to achieve a very polished coffee puck.

Below is a table of DOSE LEVEL indicator bars:

Ideal Severe Under Dose Under Dose (under middle bar) Over Dose (above middle bar) Severe Over Dose TAMP DOSE LEVEL TAMP DOSE LEVEL TAMP DOSE LEVEL TAMP DOSE LEVEL TAMP DOSE LEVEL

- The 😊 bar on the machine indicates ideal tamp level and the right amount of coffee grind is in the portafilter. This is the level that you are aiming for.

HOW TO CORRECT AN UNDER OR OVER DOSE?

An under or over dose can occur when fresh beans are added to the hopper; when coffee beans age; a different type of coffee bean is used or if a change is made to the grind size.

What to do when dose level is below the ideal middle bar?

- When tamp is below the ideal middle bar, the machine is switched to 'A Bit More' mode, the 'Dose' button light will flash.

DOSE

  • Press the 'Dose' button to add 'A Bit More' grinds to the portafilter, then complete a tamp for an updated dose level reading.
  • When ideal dose level is reached, the machine will automatically update the auto dose time for the next cycle.

What to do when dose level is above the ideal middle bar?

  • When tamp is above the ideal middle bar, remove the portafilter from the cradle.
  • Use the Razor Trimming Tool. (refer to Trimming the Dose section)
  • The machine will calculate how much to reduce the auto grind time and apply this for the next cycle.

DEDUCT TIME FROM AUTO DOSE

When an over dose is anticipated to occur before grinding, due to; changing to a coarser grind size, changing beans, or running out of beans on previous grind cycle; press and hold the 'Filter' button for 3 seconds.

DOSING MODES

Automatic Dosing

AUTO MANUAL MANUAL DOSE

This is the default dose function of the machine and the mode that will be most commonly used.

The amount of coffee grinds will automatically dose into the portafilter, and the machine will provide guidance on achieving the ideal amount through the Dose Level Gauge.

The machine will adjust the ideal dose on the next grind.

Under Dose (A Bit More)

After tamping the 'Dose' button will flash to indicate more grinds is needed into the portafilter. Press the 'Dose' button to add 'A Bit More' coffee grinds.

Dose Top-up

This feature is ideal when the portafilter already has coffee but needs more.

For example, in situations where:

  • Removing the portafilter during grinding and failing to re-insert within 5 seconds time out.
  • Removing the portafilter after a full grind cycle without tamping skimming off the top of the coffee pile.

The machine can top up from that amount already in the portafilter basket preventing coffee waste, starting a fresh grind cycle, or updating the auto grind time. To initiate the top up, the portafilter will need to be inserted into the cradle and tamped. If the tamp level displays an under dose, the 'Dose' button will

blink indicating a top up. Press the 'Dose' button to start the grind and it will dose the right amount to get the ideal level.

BREVILLE the Barista Express BES876 - Dose Top-up - 1

NOTE

  • This feature is only available on 'Auto' mode.
  • This feature may require 2 to 3 top up cycles to reach an ideal dose.
  • The set auto grind time will not be affected by this feature.
    • Machine will not start a top up with an over dose or ideal level. Remove the portafilter and trim the excess with the razor.

Over Dose (Trimming the Dose)

the Razor** Precision dose trimming tool

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

Insert the Razor ^™ into the coffee basket until the shoulders of the tool rest on the rim of the filter basket. The blade of the dosing tool should penetrate the surface of the tamped coffee.

Rotate the Razor ^™ dosing tool back and forth while holding the portafilter on an angle over the knock box to trim off excess coffee.

the Razor

Manual Dosing

AUTO MANUAL MANUAL DOSE

Press the 'Manual Dose' button to switch to manual dose mode. The light around the Manual Dose Dial and the Manual light will illuminate when in manual mode.

Select the dose amount by turning the dial clockwise for more or counterclockwise for less grind time.

Grinder Purge

It is recommended to purge the retained grinds left in the burrs or chute prior to making the first coffee of the day. Old grinds may affect the in-cup quality and coffee taste. Purging will ensure only fresh coffee makes it into your cup.

To purge, press and hold the 'Dose' button. The grind will start after 0.5 seconds, and it will stop once the 'Dose' button is released.

In auto mode, after doing a purge it is required to remove the portafilter, discard the grind from the basket and re-insert the portafilter into the grinding cradle to return the machine to its standby mode.

HOW TO MAKE COFFEE

Purging the Group Head

Before placing the portafilter into the group head, run a short flow of water through the group head by pressing the 1 CUP button. This will purge any ground coffee residue from the group head and stabilize the temperature prior to extraction.

BREVILLE the Barista Express BES876 - Purging the Group Head - 1

Inserting the Portafilter

Wipe excess coffee grinds from the rim of the filter basket to ensure a proper seal is achieved 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.

INSERT LOCK

Extracting Espresso

- Place pre-warmed cup(s) beneath the portafilter and press the 1 CUP or 2 CUP button for the required volume.

OR

- As a guide, the espresso will start to flow after 8-12 seconds (infusion time) and should be the consistency of dripping honey.

- If the espresso starts to flow before 7 seconds you have either under dosed the filter basket and/or the grind is too coarse. This is an UNDER-EXTRACTED shot.

- If the espresso starts to drip but doesn't flow after 12 seconds, then you have either over dose 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, and the dose of ground coffee.

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

TEXTURING MILK

Diagram of a coffee maker with a hand tool and directional arrow indicating rotation or adjustment, showing control panel and product movement.

There are two phases to texturing milk, stretching, and heating. These two operations should blend into one with the goal being silky smooth textured milk at the correct temperature.

  • Start with fresh cold milk of choice.
  • Fill the milk jug between the min and max level.
  • Position the steam tip over the drip tray and turn the dial from STANDBY to STEAM and wait until the steam is flowing strongly.
  • Turn the steam dial to the STANDBY position to pause the steam, then within 8 seconds, insert steam wand tip into milk jug and turn dial back to STEAM position.
  • Insert the steam tip 1-2cm below the surface of the milk close to the right-hand side of the jug at the 3 o'clock 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 and 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.
  • Lower the tip beneath the surface but keep the vortex of milk spinning. The milk is at the correct temperature 140 - 149^ (60-65°C) when the jug is hot to comfortably touch.
  • Move the steam dial to the STANDBY position before taking the tip out of the milk.
  • Set the jug to one side, turn dial to STEAM to purge out any residual milk from the steam wand and wipe steam wand with a damp cloth.
  • 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.
