ROUTINE CLEANING
Make sure your Breville Bijou Espresso
machine is unplugged and has cooled
completely before cleaning. We
recommend hand washing all parts to help
preserve their appearance. Do not immerse
the main body of the appliance, power cord
and plug in water or any other liquid.
Espresso
1. When you have completed your
espresso, remove the portalter ready
to discard the espresso grounds. Flip
the ‘lter retainer clip’ located in the
handle to hook over the edge of the
lter, holding it in place as you discard
espresso grounds. This helps keep
the lter secured and in place whilst
knocking out the ‘cake’ of espresso
grounds.
2. Remove the lter from the espresso
portalter by twisting the lter until the
bump is aligned with the notch. Wash
the lter and the espresso portalter
with water and mild liquid soap.
3. Place the lter back into the espresso
portalter and insert the espresso
portalter back into the Breville Bijou
Espresso machine. Follow the same
steps for brewing espresso, but with no
espresso in the lter. Discard the water
in the cup.
4. Remove the espresso portalter from
the unit and dry thoroughly.
NOTE: The espresso portalter is NOT
dishwasher safe.
