Operating your Breville Espresso / Cappuccino Machine
• Clean any excess coffee from the rim of the filter
holder to ensure a proper fit under the brew head.
Before using your Espresso /
Cappuccino Machine
Pre-heating the machine
Preparing the coffee
For optimal crema, it is recommended to carry out a
complete brewing operation with water but without
any coffee grinds before making your first coffee to
ensure that the machine has been preheated.
• Place the 1 or 2 cup filter into the filter holder and
fill with espresso coffee (use the smaller filter for
1 cup and the larger filter for 2 cups).
• Place the filter retainer clip in the release position,
by pulling the clip back towards your hand.
Wash the filter holder and the stainless filters in mild
detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly.
• Use 1 level measure of espresso coffee for the
1 cup filter and 2 level measures for the 2 cup
filter. It is important to use the correct amount
of coffee as the filter perforations have been
constructed for optimal pressure build up in
the machine.
Filling the water tank
• Make sure the selector control is in the
Standby position.
• Ensure the power switch and selector control are
set to the standby position.
• Plug the power cord into a 230/240V electrical
outlet, switch on and set the power switch to the
‘ON’ position.
• Turn off at the power outlet and unplug the
power cord.
• Lift up the water tank lid and remove the water
tank. Fill with cold water to the maximum mark
and replace in the machine, pressing down firmly
so that the water valve opens. Close the water
tank lid.
• As soon as the orange ‘Heating’ light turns off, set
the selector control to the
Espresso position
• Place the filter holder underneath the brew head
so that the handle is positioned to the left of
centre. Lift the filter holder until it contacts the
brew head and rotate to the right.
and run a small amount of water through the
brewing head for a few seconds without the filter
holder in place.
Pre-warming cups
For optimal coffee temperature, pre-warm
the espresso cups by placing them on the cup
warming plate.
• Distribute the coffee evenly and press it lightly
with the bottom of the measuring spoon (if there
is too much coffee, the flow of water can
become blocked).
The water tank should be filled with fresh cold
water before use.
Check water level before use and replace the
water daily.
Do not use mineral or distilled water.

Brewing coffee
The machine remains ready for brewing and
maintains a constant heating temperature as
long as the Power switch is left in the ‘On’
position. If the temperature should drop, the
orange control light will illuminate and the
heater will automatically heat up to the correct
brewing temperature.
Always ensure that the frothing attachment
has been firmly pushed onto the steam wand
For best results use fresh cold milk (lite milk
will froth easier).
• Make sure the selector control is in the
standby position.
• Gently move the frothing jug in a circular motion
around the froth enhancer.
• Plug the power cord into a 230/240V electrical
outlet, switch on and set the power switch to
the standby position.
• When the milk has begun to increase in volume,
immerse the froth enhancer deeper into the milk
to further heat the milk.
Always clean the steam wand and froth
enhancer after every use (refer to care
and cleaning).
• As soon as the orange ‘Heating’ light turns off, the
machine is heated up.
• Place your hand on the bottom of the stainless
frothing jug. When the jug becomes too hot to
touch, set the selector control to the standby
position to stop the steaming function before
removing the jug. This will ensure that you don’t
burn the milk.

Coffee making tips
Care and cleaning
Before cleaning, ensure the selector control is in the
‘OFF’ position. Switch off at the power outlet, then
unplug the power cord and allow the unit to cool.
Tips on making the perfect espresso
The grind
Cleaning the housing / cup warming tray
Don’t just rely on your coffee maker to do
all the work. Making a good cup of coffee
is an art.
• If using pre-ground coffee, ensure you purchase an
espresso grind for espresso/cappuccino machines.
• The outer housing can be cleaned with a soft,
damp cloth (do not use abrasive agents or cloths
which can scratch the surfaces).
• If grinding your own beans the coffee must be
ground fine, but not too fine. It can effect the taste
and the rate the water flows through it.
Cleaning the steam wand and
froth enhancer
Water flow
Cleaning the drip tray
• The steam wand and froth enhancer should always
be cleaned after frothing milk.
If you’re making an espresso, make sure the water
flows through the coffee filter at the correct rate. If
it’s too slow, the coffee will be over-extracted - too
dark and bitter, with a mottled and uneven crema on
top. If it flows too quickly, the coffee will be under-
extracted - the proper flavour won’t have had time to
develop. You can adjust the water flow by tamping
(pressing down) the coffee firmly or by changing the
grind of the coffee.
• The drip tray should be removed, emptied and
cleaned at regular intervals, particularly when the
water level indicator is exposed indicating the drip
tray is full.
• If the grind is too fine, the water will not flow
through the coffee even under pressure (this grind
looks like powder and feels like flour when rubbed
between fingers).
• Remove the froth enhancer and rinse under warm
tap water.
• Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth.
• Remove the grid, steam baffle and water level
indicator from the drip tray, wash all 4 parts with
water and non-abrasive washing liquid before
rinsing and drying.
• If the grind is too coarse, the water flows
through the coffee too fast, preventing a full
flavoured extraction.
• Briefly set the selector control to the
Steam
position to clear any remaining milk from the
steam wand.
• If the steam wand becomes blocked, wait for the
machine to cool before using a needle or paperclip
to unblock the opening.
Do not place any of the components in
the dishwasher.
The coffee
Pre-ground coffee will only retain its flavour for
1 week, provided it is stored in an air tight container,
in a cool, dark area. Whole coffee beans are
Note

and brewing head
recommended and should be ground just before use.
Coffee beans stored in an airtight container will keep
up to 1 month before they begin to lose their flavour.
Do not store in a refrigerator freezer.
• Directly after use, remove used coffee grounds and
rinse the stainless filters and filter holder under
running water. Should the fine holes in the filters
become blocked, then a normal dishwashing
brush should be used (do not use a brush with
metal bristles).
• The brewing head should be wiped with a damp
cloth to remove any old espresso grounds.
• It is advisable to periodically run water through the
unit with the filter in place but without any coffee
to clean out any old coffee grounds.
DO NOT IMMERSE ANY PART OF YOUR BREVILLE ESPRESSO/CAPPUCCINO MACHINE IN WATER
OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
