Assembly

BEFORE FIRST USE

Machine PreparationRemove 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 plastic bag 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.

TIP: To easily manoeuvre your machine, use the drop down swivel foot located under the drip tray. When turned to UNLOCK, the swivel foot drops down & 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 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.
  • DO NOT use highly filtered, demineralised or distilled water in this machine. This may affect the taste of the coffee.

Functions

FIRST USE

  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.The machine is now in STANDBY mode.
  4. 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 and the functioning of your machine.

GRINDING OPERATION

Insert bean hopper into position on-top of the machine. Turn dial to lock into place.Fill 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 5–20 days after the ‘Roasted On’ date. Stale coffee may pour too quickly from the portafilter spouts and taste bitter and watery.

TRANSPORTING AND STORING

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

ADJUSTING CONICAL BURRS

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

Tips

PRE-HEATING

Heating your cup or glassA 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 basketA 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 filter basket and portafilter dry before dosing with ground coffee as moisture can encourage ‘channeling’ where water by-passes the ground coffee during extraction.

THE GRIND

When grinding coffee beans for espresso, 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, lacking in color and flavor.

AUTOMATIC GRINDING, DOSING & TAMPING
  • Ensure hopper is filled with fresh coffee beans. Never put pre-ground coffee in the hopper.
  • After automatic grinding, dosing & tamping, wipe any excess coffee from the rim of the filter basket to ensure a proper seal in the group head is achieved.
  • To adjust tamping height, please use the allen key provided. Pull the tamping fan down from the grind outlet, and then loosen the fan coupling inside by rotating it counterclockwise. You can adjust the length of the coupling by loosening the fastener with the allen key and rotating the coupling to the desired length.
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. Allow water to flow for 5 seconds, then touch the ‘Brewing’ button again to stop the flow of water. This will purge any ground coffee residue from the group head and stabilize the water temperature prior to extraction.

EXTRACTING ESPRESSO
  • As a guide, the espresso will start to flow within 8-12 seconds (this includes pre-infusion time) and should be the consistency of warm dripping honey.
  • If the espresso starts to flow before 8 seconds, the grind is too coarse. This is an UNDER-EXTRACTED shot. Adjust the grind size slightly finer.
  • If the espresso starts to flow after 12 seconds, then the grind is too fine. This is an OVER-EXTRACTED shot. Adjust the grind size slightly coarser.

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

HINTS & TIPS

If machine runs continuously for 30 minutes, allow machine to cool for 3 minutes before each use.TEXTURING MILK

  • 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 steam wand seal.
  • 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 by pressing and holding the ‘Milk’ button (approx 2secs), and then start frothing by touching the 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 131°F-149°F / 55°C–65°C.
  • Touch the Milk button to stop steaming BEFORE lowering the jug and taking the tip out of the milk.

COFFEE BEAN 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.

Care & Cleaning

COLOR TOUCH SCREEN DISPLAYPlease keep the touch screen dry and clean to ensure that the machine functions properly.

REPLACING THE WATER FILTER

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.

To purchase water filters visit Breville webpage.

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

DESCALINGAfter 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.

CLEANING CONICAL BURRS

Regular cleaning helps the burrs achieve consistent grinding results which is especially important when grinding for espresso.

CLEANING THE STEAM WAND

IMPORTANT: After every use, thoroughly wipe the steam wand and tip with a damp cloth & purge immediately. Failure to clean the steam wand may affect the milk texturing performance.

  • If any of the holes in the tip of the steam wand become blocked, ensure the machine stopped steaming and unblock using the steam tip cleaning tool. Even partially blocked holes may affect the ability of the steam wand to produce sufficient foam volume.
  • If steam wand remains blocked, remove the tip and soak together with steam wand using the provided steam wand cleaning powder (instructions below). Screw tip back onto the steam wand after rinsing.
  • The steam wand can be left immersed in the milk jug filled with water when not in use to reduce the risk of blockages.

Steam Wand Cleaning Powder

  1. Add 1 packet into an empty milk jug.
  2. Add 1 cup (8oz/240ml) hot water into milk jug.
  3. Remove steam tip and place with steam wand into jug.
  4. Leave to soak for 20 minutes.
  5. Clean, rinse and replace steam tip. Place wand back into the jug and activate steam for 10 seconds.
  6. Allow to soak for 5 minutes.
  7. Activate steam several times to purge the steam wand, then rinse the wand thoroughly.
  8. Wipe the steam wand dry with a clean cloth.
  9. Discard solution & rinse jug thoroughly.

NOTE

If an alternative cleaning solution is used, please follow the instructions specified.Please ensure the cleaning solution is food safe and suitable for stainless steel and silicon products.Please ensure the steam wand tip is tightly fastened after cleaning to avoid temp sensing error.

CLEANING THE FILTER BASKET AND PORTAFILTER

  • The filter basket and portafilter should be rinsed under hot water after each coffee making session to remove all residual coffee oils.
  • If the holes in the filter basket become blocked, dissolve a cleaning tablet in hot water and soak filter basket and portafilter in solution for approx. 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.

CLEAR WATER BACKFLUSH

After each coffee making session we recommend doing a clear water backflush before you turn off the machine. Empty drip tray. Insert the cleaning disc into the filter basket then insert the portafilter into the group head. Touch the ‘Brew’ button and allow pressure to build for 20 seconds, then touch to stop & release pressure. Repeat this 5 times to purge any fine coffee grounds and residual coffee oils from the brew water paths.

CLEANING THE SHOWER SCREEN

  • The group head interior and shower screen should be wiped with a damp cloth to remove any ground coffee particles.
  • Periodically, run hot water through the group head with the filter basket and portafilter in place, but without ground coffee. This will remove any residual ground coffee particles from the shower screen.
  • If there seems to be stubborn build up on the shower screen, use the allen key to undo the screw in the middle of the shower screen, making note of which side faces into the group head.

CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY & STORAGE TRAY

  • The drip tray should be removed, emptied and cleaned after each use.
  • Remove grill from the drip tray. Wash the drip tray in warm soapy water.
  • The storage tray can be removed and cleaned with a soft, damp cloth (do not use abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which can scratch the surface).

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.
  • Do not clean any of the parts or accessories in the dishwasher.

DESCALE

  • Use this function to access the descale procedure when promoted on screen.
  • The machine will enter descale mode if you choose to descale from the pop-up message or if you choose ‘Settings’ > ‘Descale Cycle’. Follow the instruction on the touch screen.
  • Please ensure you allow approximately 60 minutes to complete the entire descale process and follow the step by step instructions. If you’ve just finished using your machine, please ensure to turn the machine off and allow to cool for at least 1 hour before starting your descale process.
