Before First Use
Remove any packaging material or
promotional stickers before using your
Breville Café Venezia™ for the first time.
Wipe the outer housing with a soft damp
cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse
the outer housing, power cord or plug in
water or any other liquid.
The water tank is located at the back of the
machine. Lift the hinged handle and pull up
to remove the water tank. Wash in warm,
soapy water using a non-abrasive
washing liquid. Rinse and dry thoroughly
NOTE:
All accessories should be washed in
warm soapy water prior to use.
Do not clean any parts or accessories in
the dishwasher.
Filling the Water Tank
Ensure the Selector Control is set to the
'STANDBY' position.
Lift the hinged handle and pull up to
remove the water tank. Fill with cold water
to the maximum mark and replace in the
machine.
Close the water tank lid.
NOTE:
The water tank has an integrated lid/carry
handle.
NOTE:
The water tank should be filled with fresh
cold water before use.
Check water level before use and replace
the water daily.
Priming and Pre-heating the Machine
Priming fills the internal tank with water
and cleanses the brewing system. This
process is recommended before first use,
however, it can be repeated prior to each
time you prepare an espresso to pre-heat
the machine.
Ensure the ‘Selector Control’ is in the
‘STANDBY’ position and plug the power
cord into a 120V power outlet.
Press the ‘POWER’ button ‘On’. The
‘POWER’ button surround will illuminate.
The red ‘HEATING’ light will illuminate and
turn off when the machine has reached the
correct temperature.
Place an empty cup or container under the
group head. As soon as the red ‘HEATING’
light turns off, set the ‘Selector Control’ to
the ‘ESPRESSO’ position and run a small
amount of water through the brewing head
for a few seconds without the filter holder
in place.
A pumping noise will be heard during this
operation, and water will run through the
group head. Your Café Venezia™ has now
been Primed/Pre-Heated and you may
proceed onto preparing an espresso.
Pre-heating the Filter Holder
Pre-heat the filter holder by placing
underneath the group head. Rinse with
hot water from the group head using the
‘ESPRESSO’ pour function. Dry the filter
and filter holder thoroughly before use.

Tamping the Ground Coffee
Distribute the ground coffee evenly in
the filter and press down firmly with the
tamping end of the measuring spoon and
ensure that it is level.
Clean any excess ground coffee from the
rim of the filter holder to ensure a proper fit
into the group head.
NOTE:
1 cup filter for single shot (1oz/30ml),
2 cup filter for double shot (2oz/60ml) or
two single shots.
OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE CAFÉ VENEZIA™ ESPRESSO MACHINE
Pre-warming Cups
The Cup Warming Tray will start to warm as
the machine heats.
Pre-warm the cups by placing them on
the Cup Warming Tray or by rinsing them
with hot water from the group head. This
will help maintain the coffee’s optimal
temperature when brewed into the cups.
Preparing the Coffee
Place the 1 or 2 cup filter basket into the
filter holder.
Use the smaller filter for 1 cup/1oz and the
larger filter for 2 cups/2oz or 2 singles at
the same time. When brewing for a mug of
coffee always use the 2 cup filter and only
extract 2 oz. If you require a larger coffee,
add the hot water first and then brew the
coffee.
Use 1 level measure of ground espresso
coffee for the 1 cup filter basket and 2 level
measures for the 2 cup filter basket. It is
important to use the correct amount of
coffee for each filter as the filter perforations
have been constructed to utilize the
pressure in the machine to extract optimal
flavor with each brewing.
NOTE:
When brewing for a mug of coffee, always
use the 2 cup filter. If you require a larger
coffee, add the hot water first and then
brew the coffee.
