Programmable Function
This espresso machine offers a convenient
choice between the Manual Operation or the
intelligent Programmable Function that can be
personalised with the user’s favourite espresso
setting.
Espresso Pressure Gauge
The espresso pressure gauge assists in
obtaining the most favourable extraction
pressure, guiding the user to create their ideal
espresso. This is achieved by measuring the
pressure at which the water is being forced
through the ground coffee in the filter holder.
White Zone - Ideal Espresso
The gauge needle when positioned within the
recommended White Zone during pouring
indicates that the espresso will be produced at
the ideal pressure. The brewed espresso should
have a generous layer of fine textured and
evenly coloured golden crèma.
Green Zone - Under Extracted
The gauge needle when positioned within the
Green Zone during pouring indicates that the
espresso will be produced with insufficient
pressure resulting in an ‘under extracted’
espresso. This occurs when the water flow
through the ground coffee in the filter is too
fast. As a result the optimal flavour will not be
extracted and the coffee will be watery and lack
thick créma on the top. Possible other causes
for under extraction are: coffee grind is too
coarse and/or insufficient coffee in filter and/or
under tamping.
Red Zone - Over Extracted
The gauge needle when positioned within
the Red Zone during pouring will indicate
that the espresso will be produced with too
much pressure resulting in an ‘over extracted’
espresso. This occurs when the water flow
through the ground coffee in the filter is too
slow. As a result the coffee will be very dark
and bitter, with a mottled and uneven créma on
top. Possible other causes for over extraction
are: ground coffee is too fine and/or too much
ground coffee in filter and/or over tamping.
Hot Water Wand
The dedicated hot water wand is ideal for
making your favourite hot drinks. For convenient
use the wand has a commercial style 360° ball
joint.

FEATURES OF YOUR BREVILLE PROFESSIONAL 800 COLLECTION™ PROGRAMMABLE ESPRESSO MACHINE (continued)
Commercial Style Steam Wand
The swivel-action steam wand, with
stainless steel frothing attachment, easily
adjusts to the perfect position for texturing
milk. The wand has a commercial style
360° ball joint.
Advanced Dual Wall Créma System
Filters
Advanced Dual Wall Créma System Filters
(one and two cup) are supplied with the
Breville Professional 800 Collection™
Programmable Espresso Machine.
The Advanced Dual Wall Créma System
Filters are designed to intentionally
slow the water flow rate during brewing,
allowing you to easily pour your espresso
at the ideal pressure, for the perfect
créma.
The filters are suited to both pre-ground
vacuum packed coffee and freshly ground
coffee.
Electronic Temperature Control
The electronic temperature control system
accurately maintains the optimal brewing
temperature of the water. This helps
ensure the user gets the best possible
extraction each time an espresso is made.
Energy Saving Features
The Breville Professional 800 Collection™
Programmable Espresso Machine will
enter the ‘Power Save Mode’ if not used
for one hour, and will automatically switch
off if not used for a further three hours.
The ‘Power Save Mode’ uses 45% less
power than when the machine is in
‘Stand by’ Mode.
During ‘Power Save Mode’ only the
POWER button surround will be
illuminated. All other button and light
surrounds will not be illuminated.
To re-activate the machine during ‘Power
Save Mode’, simply press the program or
one-cup or two-cup buttons. The POWER
button surround will then illuminate and
flash while the machine quickly reheats to
operational temperature. When the correct
temperature has been reached, all the
button surrounds on the control panel
will illuminate.
To switch off the espresso machine whilst
it is in ‘Power Save Mode’, simply press
the POWER button once.
