Operation
BREWING A CARAFE
Ensure the brew basket is clean and the drip
stop seal in the bottom of the basket is clean
and free of coffee particles.
1. Select the correct basket & filter for the
amount of coffee you’re making. When
brewing between 2 and 8 cups, we
recommend you use the Cone shaped filter
basket insert with paper filter (Cone paper
filter is not included). When brewing more
than 8 cups, use mesh basket filter or flat
bottom brew basket with large paper filter.

CAUTION
The carafe MUST be in place before you brew
with water level higher than ‘SINGLE CUP’
line. Otherwise the coffee basket will overflow.
NOTE
Always ensure your carafe is clean and empty
before brewing. Residual coffee will affect the
taste and liquid in the carafe will cause it to
overflow.
NOTE
Always ensure your carafe is EMPTY before
brewing to prevent overflow.
NOTE
This machine will brew all the water in the tank.
Ensure the tank does not contain an excess
amount of water.
4. For the very best tasting coffee, we
recommend using freshly roasted whole
bean coffee and grind with a burr grinder
directly before you brew. The grind should
be medium/coarse, never use coffee ground
for espresso as your coffee basket may
overflow.
5. Grind enough coffee beans for the volume
you’re making. For a full 1.8L carafe, we
recommend 99g of coffee, approximately
12 level Breville measuring scoops.
Roughly 1 scoop for every 150ml.
Refer coffee/water ratio chart on page 14.
6. Insert the correct filter paper, cone or flat
bottom, or mesh basket, into the brew
basket, then, add your ground coffee. Insert
the brew basket into the machine.
NOTE
Never use both mesh basket filter and paper
filter at the same time.

12
• Bloom Time: Coffee bloom occurs
when hot water hits the ground coffee.
This setting allows you to adjust how long
the bloom time lasts. We recommend
30-60 seconds. During this time
the brewing cycle pauses to allow
coffee to naturally bloom. See ‘TIPS’
for more about Bloom Time.
• Bloom Volume: You can adjust
the amount of water dispensed
before the blooming starts.
• Brewing Temp: You can adjust the
temperature of the brew water being
delivered to the ground coffee to suit
your favorite coffee. See “TIPS” for more
about setting brew water temperature.
• Flow Rate: You can adjust brewing time
to control contact time by adjusting the
water delivery speed. Choose between
Slow, Medium, and Fast (default).
• POUR OVER: If you are using the Pour
Over Adapter (accessory can be purchased
separately), this must be turned on.
• COLD BREW: Cold Brew coffee is brewed
differently to traditional coffee. It uses cold,
not hot water. Your brewer uses the “Full
Immersion” method of brewing cold brew
which steeps the water and coffee together
over an extended duration – typically
between 4 - 14 hours. This method creates an
intense smooth coffee with little bitterness.
Brew ratios are also different, and much
higher than normal. Breville recommends
a brew ratio 2-3 times higher than average,
approximately 3 Breville scoops to every
150ml of water.
• See ‘TIPS’ for step-by-step guide
of brewing Cold Brew.
• Brew time is adjustable.
8. Rotate the SELECT dial to the desired
mode. Press the START|CANCEL button.
The machine will display the progress:
• The machine will remind you to insert
either cup or carafe where applicable
• Heating: the heating system is being
pre-heated to the optimal temperature
• Blooming: the bloom phase of
preparation is in progress
• Brewing: brew water at the correct/
selected temperature is being
delivered to the ground coffee
9. When your coffee is ready, the machine will
beep 3 times. The machine will display the
“Time since brewed”.
NOTE
A small amount of water remains in the
tank after brewing. This is part of the normal
operation.
NOTE
Never fill the water tank once the coffee
machine has started a brewing cycle.
BREW MODES
• FAST: This mode is to deliver the fastest
brewed coffee. This coffee machine is one
of the fastest 12 cup (1.8L) brewers.
• GOLD (recommended): This mode meets the
SCA (Specialty Coffee Association)'s rigorous
technical requirements using the cone filter
basket.
• STRONG: This brewing mode delivers a
stronger tasting coffee.
• MY BREW: Allows you to customize every
brew setting.

13
NOTE
DO NOT fill the water tank more than
SINGLE CUP line or the volume of the cup
used to receive the coffee. It will overflow as
the machine brews until the water tank
becomes empty.
2. Place your empty cup underneath the
brew basket outlet.
3. We recommend using cone filter basket
insert for single cups. It ensures proper
contact between the brew water and the
ground coffee.
4. To change the basket type, rotate the
SELECT dial to Settings and press to enter
the Settings mode and select "Basket Type".
5. Rotate the dial to select “Cone”, and press
dial to select. “Cone” will be displayed on
the LCD.
6. Insert the Cone filter basket into the brew
basket. Use the alignment marks as a guide.
7. Place a cone shaped paper filter into the
cone filter basket.
8. Grind the correct amount of whole bean
coffee for the amount you are brewing.

Tips
WHOLE BEANS
• FRESH IS BEST! Freshly roasted, quality
coffee is key to making great tasting coffee.
Peak flavour potential is 5-20 days after roast.
Always look for a “Roasted On” date on the
bag. Avoid coffee with a “Best Before” or
“Use By” date as you never know when it
was roasted.
• Coffee flavour and strength are a personal
preference. Vary the type of coffee beans and
the amount of ground coffee to achieve your
preferred taste.
• Freshly ground beans are the key to
making coffee with more flavour and body.
Pre-ground coffee will have lost most of its
flavour and aromatics, so always grind right
before you brew for superior taste.
• Store coffee beans in a dark, cool and dry
place. Vacuum seal if possible.
• Buy coffee beans in small batches to reduce
the storage time and store no more than one
week’s supply at any time.
COFFEE/WATER RATIO
We recommend 1 level Breville scoop of coffee grounds per 150ml cup of water. Adjust the amount
according to your individual taste. The maximum capacity for pre-ground coffee is 12 level Breville
scoops. Exceeding this amount may cause the coffee basket to overflow.

PRE-GROUND COFFEE
• Pre-ground coffee is convenient, but will
never taste as good as coffee ground right
before you brew. We recommend investing in
a quality burr grinder so you can grind fresh
whole bean coffee right before you brew and
enjoy superior tasting coffee.
• The grind will affect the rate at which the
water flows through the coffee in the coffee
basket and therefore the taste of the coffee.
If the grind is too fine the water will not flow
through the coffee and may clog or overflow
the coffee basket. It may pass through the
mesh basket filter leaving sediment in the
cup or carafe. The resulting coffee will be
over extracted, too dark and bitter. If the
grind is too coarse the water will flow through
the coffee too quickly. This will result in an
under-extracted coffee lacking in flavour.
• Always use “drip filter grind” suitable for
use with a drip coffee machines. Never use
“Espresso grind” as the finer grind size may
cause the coffee basket to block and will be
over-extracted.

16
BLOOMING
• When coffee is roasted, CO2is trapped inside
the bean. Coffee grounds release this CO2
when hot water hits them, and this is called
“blooming”. Your Brewer can automatically
adjust bloom time by controlling the water
flow. Blooming can have an impact on the
aromas and flavours of the brewed cup. If the
coffee is overly bitter shorten bloom time,
and if it’s sour make it a little longer.
PRE-HEATING
• Pre-heat the carafe or cup for best results.
A pre-heated carafe or cup will help maintain
the coffee’s optimal temperature and keep
coffee hotter for longer. Fill with hot water for
about 30 seconds then discard the water.
WATER QUALITY
• Fresh, good-tasting water is essential for a
perfect cup. If the water contains excessive
sediment, or has an ‘off’ taste or odor, we
recommend using filtered water.
COLD BREW
Your Brewer will produce a maximum of
600ml of Cold Brew. Due to the long duration
(typically 4-14 hours) of the brewing process we
recommend setting the machine up overnight
so the Cold Brew will be ready in the morning.
1. Fill the tank with your desired volume of
water ensuring this is below the
COLD BREW line.
2. Remove the basket, and ensure both the
cone insert and mesh basket filter are
removed. Add a large paper filter and
then coffee at 2-3 times of regular ratio
(approximately 12 scoops for 600ml).
Reinsert the basket into the machine.
3. Remove the lid from the carafe and re-insert
– the lid must not be on the carafe during
the brewing process, alternatively, use
another vessel.
4. Navigate to the COLD BREW setting and
press START|CANCEL. The machine will
then begin brewing the water without the
heating element. Once this is complete a
countdown timer will display on the LCD
indicating when the Cold Brew is finished.
At this point the machine will automatically
dispense the Cold Brew into the waiting
carafe.
NOTE
Brew Time for Cold Brew can easily be
adjusted to your preference, anywhere between
5min – 24hrs.
NOTE
Do not add ice to the tank. Cold, chilled water
should be added.
NOTE
Ensure the carafe lid is removed for Cold Brew
mode.

DESCALING
After regular use, hard water can cause
mineral build up in internal components,
reducing the brewing flow, brewing temperature,
power of the machine, and taste of the coffee.
We recommend to descale regularly. When
LCD shows “DESCALE” (flashing), descaling
cycle is needed.
NOTE
It takes approximately 15 minutes to complete
descaling cycle.
1. Empty the tank. Prepare a descale solution in
accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
Pour this solution into the empty water tank.
2. Place the basket and the carafe into position
under the drip stop outlet (Ensure the carafe
is empty and the lid is securely locked).
3. Press SELECT button for 3 seconds to start
descaling cycle. LCD with show “dSL” for
1 second and then tell remaining time of
descaling cycle.
4. When the descaling process is finished, the
LCD screen will go back to the main menu.
To completely remove residual water in the
tank, invert the machine and brew with fresh
water twice. Discard the water from the carafe
and rinse thoroughly.
NOTE
We recommend to brew through again after
descaling to brew out the residue descale
solution.
NOTE
You cannot stop the descaling process mid cycle.
Force stop by unplugging the cord from the
power outlet.
FACTORY RESET
This is to reset the machine to the factory settings,
including water hardness setting. Hold the
START button, the SELECT button, and
AUTO START button altogether for 3 seconds.
When LCD shows “rES” (flashing), press
SELECT button to start. Then next prompt
asks “YES” or “no” to confirm. Rotate and press
SELECT dial/button.
Always turn the coffee machine off and remove
the plug from the power outlet before cleaning.
CLEANING THE OUTER HOUSING
The outer housing and LCD screen can be
cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Apply cleaner
to the cloth and not the LCD surface. Polish
with a soft, dry cloth. Cleaning and drying with
dry paper towels or abrasive cloths and cleaners
may scratch the surface.
CLEANING THE COFFEE BASKET AND
MESH BASKET FILTER
Remove the coffee basket. Discard any ground
coffee and filter paper. The coffee basket and
mesh basket filter can be rinsed under running
water. Ensure the fine holes of the mesh basket
filter are clear. For a deeper clean, wash the
coffee basket and mesh basket filter in warm,
soapy water with a soft bristled brush.
CAUTION
The coffee basket, mesh basket or paper filter
may still be very hot after brewing. Use caution
and allow to cool before removing.
CLEANING THE CARAFE
After each use, empty the carafe. Do not let
brewed coffee stand overnight as this can cause
the carafe to stain. Rinse the carafe and carafe
lid under warm running water. For a deeper
clean, we recommend regularly washing the
carafe in warm, soapy water using a soft bristled
brush. Do not use abrasive cleansers, pads or
cloths which can scratch the surface. Rinse and
dry thoroughly.
CLEANING THE SHOWERHEAD
Simply wipe down the showerhead area
periodically. However, if a more thorough clean
is required, the Showerhead can be removed by
unlocking the Showerhead Ring. Rotate clockwise
then remove the Showerhead for cleaning. Once
complete, reinstall the Showerhead.
