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.

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE PROFESSIONAL 800 COLLECTION™ ESPRESSO MACHINE (continued)
STEP 3 - PREPARING THE COFFEE
•Place the 1 or 2 cup filter into the filter
holder (use the smaller filter for 1 cup
and the larger filter for 2 cups). When
brewing for a mug of coffee always use
the 2 cup filter and only extract 60ml.
If you require a larger coffee, add the hot
water first and then brew the coffee.
•Preheat the filter holder by placing
underneath the group head. Rinse with
hot water from the wand using the hot
water function or from the group
head and rinse with hot water using the
manual pour function. Dry the filter and
filter holder thoroughly before use.
•Use 1 level measure of ground 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 for each filter as the filter
perforations have been constructed
to utilise the pressure in the machine to
extract optimal flavour with each
brewing.
Refer to ‘The Coffee Making Tip’,
page 22.
NOTE: When using a 1 cup filter holder,
for optimal flavour, you should
only extract approximately 30ml.
When using a 2 cup filter holder,
for optimal flavour, you should
only extract approximately 60ml.
STEP 4 - TAMPING THE GROUND COFFEE
•Distribute the ground coffee evenly in
the filter and press down lightly with the
tamping end of the measuring spoon.
Refer to ‘Coffee Making Tips’, page 22
•Clean any excess ground coffee from
the rim of the filter holder to ensure a
proper fit into the group head.

HOW TO TEXTURE MILK FOR A CAPPUCCINO OR LATTÉ
The Breville Professional 800 Collection™
Programmable Espresso Machine comes
complete with a Commercial Style Swivel
Steam Wand and Stainless Steel Frothing
Attachment. When using the frothing
attachment on the steam wand a large
amount of froth is easily created.
If less texture is required, remove the
frothing attachment from the steam wand
and steam the milk using the steam
wand. To remove the frothing attachment,
ensure it is cool then simply pull down
and remove. The frothing attachment can
be stored in the storage tray inside the
machine if not used regularly.
To refit the frothing attachment ensure it is
securely attached to the steam wand by
inserting it, from either opening, onto the
steam wand and pushing firmly upwards
onto the rubber surround. Ensure the fine
steam holes on either end of the frothing
attachment are clean to achieve optimal
texturing.
•Press the POWER button to ‘On’.
•The first step in making a cappuccino
or latté is to make a short espresso.
Refer to ‘Operating your Espresso
Machine’, pages 14-16.
•Then fill the stainless steel frothing jug
1⁄3full with cold, fresh milk.
•Turn the Selector Control to the ‘Steam’
position. The white steam light will start
to flash indicating that the Thermoblock
Heating System is heating and preparing
to create steam.
•For improved results, purge the steam
wand of water before placing into the
milk.
NOTE: When the espresso machine
creates steam, a pumping noise
can be heard. This is the normal
operation of the 15 Bar pump.
•When the steam light stops flashing,
quickly insert the steam wand into the
jug of milk so that the froth attachment is
just immersed into the milk.
NOTE: If steam starts coming from the
steam wand before it is immersed
in the milk, pause the steam by
turning the Selector Control back
to the ‘Standby’ position. This will
avoid the steam pressure blowing
milk out of the jug.
BES820 IB V6.indd 19BES820 IB V6.indd 19 19/9/07 2:23:53 PM19/9/07 2:23:53 PM

20
• Hold the frothing jug at an angle so
that steam wand and/or the frothing
attachment sits just below the surface of
the heating milk and the steam will move
the milk around the inside of the jug in a
circular motion.
NOTE: The espresso machine features
a swivel steam wand assembly so
the position of the steam wand can
be changed to a comfortable angle.
HOW TO TEXTURE MILK FOR A CAPPUCCINO OR LATTÉ
• When the milk starts to increase in
volume, immerse the steam wand and/
or frothing attachment deeper into the
jug to heat the milk.
• Hold the jug at an angle with one hand
and place your other hand on the outer
base of the stainless frothing jug.
• When the base of the jug becomes too
hot to touch, set the Selector Control
to the ‘Standby’ position, stopping
the steaming function before
removing the jug. A pumping noise will
sound for a short time, do not be
alarmed as there will be a five second
delay prior to the machine carrying out
the Auto-purge function.
• Pour the steamed milk into each cup of
freshly brewed espresso coffee and
spoon in the frothing milk, in the
following ratios:
Cappuccino - 1⁄3espresso, 1⁄3steamed milk,
1⁄3frothed milk
Latté -
1⁄3espresso topped with steamed milk
and approximately 1cm frothed milk, traditionally
served in a glass.
NOTE: After 5 minutes of continuous
steaming, the machine will
automatically disable the steam
function. The steam and hot water
lights will flash. When this occurs
return the selector control to the
‘Standby’ position.
NOTE: Always ensure that the frothing
attachment has been firmly pushed
onto the steam wand and connects
with the rubber surround. For best
results use cold fresh milk (low
fat milk will froth easier). Always
clean the steam wand and frothing
attachment after every use. Refer
to ‘Care and Cleaning’, page 24.
NOTE: For brewing more coffee
immediately after using the steam
function, this machine features an
auto-purge function. This ensures
that ground coffee will not be burnt
by the initial water flow from the
thermoblock being too hot. Instead
this water is automatically released
internally into the drip tray ensuring
that the internal thermostat is at
optimal temperature for extracting
coffee. Your coffee will always
be extracted at this optimal
temperature ensuring only the best
flavoured coffee is achieved.
WARNING: MILK SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN OVER THE TOP OF THE FROTHING
ATTACHMENT, OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. TO AVOID
SPLATTERING OF HOT MILK, DO NOT LIFT THE END OF THE FROTHING ATTACHMENT
ABOVE THE SURFACE OF THE MILK WHILE FROTHING. ENSURE THE SELECTOR
CONTROL IS IN THE ‘STANDBY’ POSITION BEFORE REMOVING THE FROTHING JUG.
