Frequently Asked Questions - the Barista Touch Impress BES881 BREVILLE

How do I perform assisted tamping with the Impress system?

After grinding, lower the tamping lever all the way while applying constant and even pressure. The system applies a force of 10 kg with a 7° finishing rotation to create a perfect puck. Slowly raise the lever. The screen indicates whether the dose is low, ideal, or high.

What should I do if the espresso flows too quickly?

This indicates under-extraction: the grind is too coarse or the dose is insufficient. Adjust the grind size to a lower number (finer) or increase the dose via the grind setting. Use the Intelligent Infusion Setup function for automatic calibration.

How do I clean the steam wand after use?

Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth after each use. For a deep clean, go to Settings > Steam Wand Cleaning and follow the on-screen instructions. If the holes are clogged, use the stem of the provided cleaning tool or remove the tip with the built-in key and soak it in hot water.

When should I descale the machine?

Descale the machine when the screen shows a reminder message or about every 3 months, depending on water hardness. Use the supplied descaling powder. First remove the water filter from the tank, then follow the descaling cycle in the Settings menu.

How do I adjust the grind size?

Turn the dial on the side of the machine forward (finer) or backward (coarser). The screen displays a number: the smaller the number, the finer the grind. You can also slide the on-screen cursor. After adjustment, the machine automatically recalibrates the dose on the next cycle.

Can I use pre-ground coffee with this machine?

Yes, use the included dual wall filter baskets (1 cup or 2 cups). These baskets regulate pressure and are suitable for pre-ground coffee. Be sure to dose correctly: 8-11 g for 1 cup, 16-19 g for 2 cups.

What should I do if the screen indicates underdosing or overdosing?

In case of underdosing (bar below the median), tap the portafilter image to add a bit more grounds ('A Bit More'), then retamp. In case of overdosing (bar above), remove the portafilter and use The Razor™ tool to trim off excess tamped coffee. The machine will automatically adjust the grind time for the next cycle.

How do I customize and save a drink?

Select a drink, then tap the setting icon under the cup, portafilter, or jug to adjust volume, grind, or milk. Once satisfied, tap the disk icon at the top right to rename and save the drink (15 characters max). It will appear at the beginning of the carousel.

How do I replace the water filter?

Remove the water tank. Take out the old filter from its holder. Soak the new filter in cold water for 5 minutes. Insert it into the holder, set the date dial to +3 months, then snap the holder into the tank. Refill with cold water to the MAX line.

What should I do if the grinder is jammed?

If the grinder is jammed, perform advanced cleaning: empty the hopper, set the grind to the coarsest (25), then unlock and remove the upper burr. Use a 10 mm socket to loosen the nut, remove the lower burr and the impeller. Clear the chute with a brush or pipe cleaner. Reassemble in reverse order and set the grind to 16.

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 from the box before discarding the packaging.

Remove the water tank located at the back of the machine by pulling the water tank handle.

Clean parts and accessories (water tank, portafilter, filter baskets, jug) using warm water and a gentle dish washing liquid. Rinse well then dry thoroughly.

NOTE

Machines with color, drip tray protection guard is included. DO NOT DISCARD.

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.
• Rinse 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.

NOTE

Replacing the water filter every three months will reduce the need to descale the machine. Filters can be purchased at www.breville.com

NOTE

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

Functions

Filling the Water Tank

• Ensure the water filter is securely fitted inside the water tank.
• Use the handle at the top of the water tank to assist in lifting the water tank and away from the machine.

• Fill the water tank with cold potable tap water up to the MAX marking indicated on the side of the water tank.
• Replace the water tank back on the machine, pressing down to ensure that it is properly positioned and attached to the machine.

NOTE

If the water level in the water tank is below the minimum (MIN) marking, the expresso machine will not operate.

Attaching the Hopper

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

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 to 20 days after the 'Roasted On' date. Stale coffee may pour too quickly from the portafilter spouts and taste bitter and watery.

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.

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.

From this point, further adjust grind size and experiment to suit your style.

It is recommended using this feature whenever you change beans, or the too fast or too slow notifications are shown on screen.

Find the Intelligent Brew Setup in the Settings menu under Drinks Settings.

MANUAL GRIND PURGE

For best coffee results, if the machine has not been used for a while it is recommended to purge any stale beans that have been ground and left in the grinder chute.

To purge; tap and hold the grind button for 2 seconds, and run for around 5 seconds.

To stop; press the stop button. Grind purge will stop automatically after 30 seconds if stop button is not pressed.

ASSISTED TAMPING

• When grind cycle is completed, the machine is ready to tamp.

Push the lever downwards to the end position. 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.

• Release the lever slowly upwards to the home position after tamping.
• Repeat the tamping action as above twice.

NOTE

Screen will indicate if tamp or dose is low, ideal or high.

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 dose is below the ideal middle bar, the machine will indicate and calculate 'A Bit More'. Tap the portafilter image on screen to add a bit more and follow screen prompts and 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 dose 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.

OVER DOSE (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™ 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.

Inserting the Portafilter

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

• Select a display of brew options on the screen.

NOTE

The amount of espresso extracted in the cup will vary depending on your grind size and grind amount settings.
- Touching the coffee image during a preset shot volume will immediately stop the extraction.
- For optimal flavor when using a 1 cup filter basket, you should extract approx. 1.0 fl oz / 30 mL. When using a 2 cup filter basket, you should extract approx. 2.0 fl oz / 60 mL.

TEXTURING MILK

Different brands and milk alternatives will texture differently. For best texturing results it is recommended to use whole milk when using dairy milk and use barista type milks when using plant-based milks. Adjust the froth level accordingly. Start with cold milk. Fill milk jug to below the spout position. Lift the 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 tip of the steam wand should be submerged and ensure that milk covers the ring around the steam wand tip.

NOTE

Check the image on the screen for the correct milk jug position.

Under the milk jug image, tap the icon to adjust the milk temperature, the level of milk froth or change your milk option: Dairy, Almond, Oat or Soy.

To start, touch the 'Milk jug' image. The screen will display the temperature of the milk as it heats.

TIP

All milk-based drinks

  Texture milk first and queue coffee brewing

Milk texturing will stop automatically when the selected milk temperature is reached.

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

MANUAL MILK TEXTURING

Auto milk texturing and auto shut-off are disabled during manual milk texturing mode. Start with a cold milk. Fill milk jug to below the spout position. Lift the steam wand and slide the milk jug under the steam wand. Hold the milk jug at an angle.

Start frothing by tapping the milk jug image on screen. When frothing is done and the jug is hot to comfortably touch; tap the milk jug image on screen 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 pump.
• 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 overheating milk or dangerous conditions.

USING HOT WATER

The machine has a dedicated hot water spout. The HOT WATER function can be used to preheat cups or add hot water manually. To start and stop hot water, touch 'Hot Water' icon on the screen.

NOTE

Using the hot water spout and the steam wand is not possible when extracting espresso.

Run hot water before or after extracting.
espresso.

WARNING

Filled cup temperature is approximately 167^- 194^ (75^ - 90^) . Be careful in handling hot beverages.

TIP

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 spout 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 spout before initial use.

NOTE

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

FILTER BASKETS

This machine includes both single and dual wall, 1 cup and 2 cup filter baskets.

Use the 1 cup filter basket when brewing a single cup and the 2 cup filter baskets when brewing 2 cups or a stronger single cup or mug.

The provided filter baskets are designed for ground coffee:

1 cup filter basket = 8-11g

2 cup filter basket = 16-19g

Single Wall Filter Baskets

1CUP2CUP

Single Wall filter baskets should be used when grinding fresh whole coffee beans.

These allows you to experiment with grind and dose to create a more balanced espresso.

Dual Wall Filter Baskets

1CUP2CUP

Dual Wall filter baskets should be used when using pre-ground coffee and older beans that are past the 30 day roast date.

These regulate the pressure and help to optimize the extraction regardless of the grind, dose, or freshness.

THE GRIND

Adjusting the Grind Size

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.

To adjust the grind, rotate the grind dial to the back of the machine to go coarser, or rotate the dial towards the front of the machine to go finer or slide the dot on the screen to the left for a finer grind or to the right for a coarser grind. The smaller the value shown on screen, the finer the grind size. The larger the value shown on screen, the coarser the grind size.

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. The dose amount is calculated and stored automatically. Two to three extractions may be required to calibrate the extraction.

Extracting Espresso

• 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 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, and the dose of ground coffee.

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

CLEANING CYCLE

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

WARNING

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.

DESCALING

Even with the provided water filter, it is recommended to descale if there is scale buildup in the water tank.

Go to 'Settings' and select 'Descale cycle'.

Follow the instructions on the screen.

NOTE

• Ensure that the water filter is removed from the water tank before adding the descaling powder when descaling the machine.
  While the cleaning cycle is important for keeping the brew head clean from coffee oils; the descending cycle is essential to ensure that the machine is kept clean on the inside and free from mineral build-up.
• Do not use bottled water when descaling. Most bottled water may contain dissolved solids that can leave deposits inside the machine.

CLEANING THE STEAM WAND

The steam wand should always be cleaned after texturing milk. Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth.
- If any of the holes in the tip of the steam wand become blocked, it may reduce frothing performance.
- 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. Tap the brewing icon on the screen and run a short flow of water to rinse out any residual coffee.

CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY AND STORAGE TRAY

• The drip tray should be removed, emptied and cleaned at regular intervals, particularly when the drip tray is full.
• Remove the grill from the drip tray. Lift the coffee grind separator and dispose of any coffee grounds. The float 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 AND 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 OFF, and unplug. Remove unused beans from the hopper, clean the grinder, empty the water tank and the drip tray.
• Ensure the machine is cool, clean and dry. Insert all accessories into position or into the storage tray. Store upright. Do not place anything on top.

WARNING

To prevent damage, do not use alkaline cleaning agents when cleaning. Use a soft cloth and a mild detergent.

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 decalcifying.

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. Use a flat screw driver (not provided) to unscrew. Turn counterclockwise to loosen the screw.

1. Once loosened, carefully remove and retain the screw and stainless-steel shower screen. Make note of the side of the shower screen that is facing 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 dispersion plate, then the shower screen, then the screw. With your fingers, turn the screw clockwise for 2-3 revolutions and use a flat screw driver to tighten until the screw is flush with the shower screen.
2. Re-insert the drip tray and water tank.

NOTE

Contact Breville Customer Service or visit www.breville.com for replacement silicone seals or for advice.
