Indicator and Grid in place, into the base of the
machine and in front of the Storage Tray.
STEP 3
Slide the Water Tank over the Drip Tray and
into the front opening of the machine and into
position above the Storage Tray. Ensure the
Water Tank aligns flush with the sides of
the machine.
Before first use: It is recommended to complete
a water brewing operation without ground
coffee before brewing your first espresso coffee
to ensure that all internal piping has been
preheated (follow Steps 1 and 4 in Operating
your Breville Die Cast Series Espresso Machine –
Pages 13 and 15).

Operating

STEP 1 – FILLING THE WATER TANK
• Ensure the Power On/Off button is ‘Off’ and
the Selector Control is set to the ‘•’
Standby position.
• Turn the machine off at the power outlet
and unplug the power cord.
•Remove the Filter Holder if locked into the
Brew Head and move the Steam Wand to the
side of the machine.
•Remove the Water Tank by pulling with
the handle insert in the front of the
Espresso Machine.
•When the Water Tank is removed, a black tube
slides and extends out from the Water Tank
storage area. Do not touch or try to remove
this tube, it will automatically slide back into
position when the Water Tank is reinserted.
•Fill the Water Tank with cold water to the
maximum mark on the Water Window and
slide the Water Tank carefully back into
position in the machine.
NOTE: Check the water level before use
and replace the water daily.
The water tank should be
refilled with fresh cold water

14 OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE DIE CAST SERIES ESPRESSO MACHINE
STEP 2 - 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).
•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 flavor with each brewing. (Refer to
The Grind on Page 21).
STEP 3 - TAMPING THE COFFEE
•Distribute the coffee evenly in the Filter and
press down lightly with the tamping end of
the measuring spoon (Refer to Coffee Making
Tips on Page 21).
•Clean any excess coffee from the rim of the
Filter holder to ensure a proper fit into the
Brew Head.
NOTE: THE FILTERS ARE HELD IN PLACE
FIRMLY TO ENSURE THAT THEY
DO NOT GET EMPTIED INTO THE
TRASH ALONG WITH COFFEE.
TIP: REMOVE THE FILTER USING THE
INDENTS IN THE SIDE OF THE
FILTER HOLDER, IF THIS PROVES
DIFFICULT THE 800ESXL COMES
WITH 2 FILTERS. USE THE EDGE
OF THE FREE FILTER AS A
LEVERAGE AID TO REMOVING
THE FILTER THAT IS FITTED.

15
OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE DIE CAST SERIES ESPRESSO MACHINE
STEP 4 – PRIMING THE BREW HEAD
•Before placing the Filter Holder into position,
it is recommended to run a short flow of
water through the Brew Head.
•Ensure the Selector Control is in the ‘Standby’
position and plug the power cord into a
110/120V power outlet and switch on. Press
the Power On/Off button to ‘On’ and the
button surround will illuminate. The Steam
button surround will also illuminate.
•The machine will make a pumping noise then
the Heating Light will illuminate red. When
the correct temperature has been reached the
light will cycle out.
•Place a container under the Brew Head.
•Prime the Brew Head by quickly turning the
Selector Control to the ‘Espresso’ position
until water flows then turn back to the
‘Standby’ position. A pumping noise will be
heard in this operation.
STEP 5 - PRE-WARMING THE CUPS
•The Cup Warming Plate will start to warm as
the machine heats.
•Pre-warm the espresso cups by placing on the
Cup Warming Plate. This will help maintain
the coffee’s optimal temperature when brewed
into the cups.
STEP 6 – INSERTING THE FILTER HOLDER
•Place the Filter Holder underneath the Brew
Head so that the handle is aligned with the
insert graphic. Insert the Filter Holder up into
the Brew Head and rotate the handle to the
right until resistance is felt, this will be at an
approximate 90° angle to the machine.
NOTE: The machine remains ready for
brewing and maintains a
constant heating temperature
while the Power On/off button is
in the ‘On’ position. If the
temperature lowers, the heating
light will illuminate and the
Thermoblock Heating System
will automatically reheat to the
correct brewing temperature

STEP 7 - BREWING THE COFFEE
•The red ‘Heating’ light cycles off when the
machine has reached the correct temperature
for brewing.
•Ensure the Drip Tray and Grid are in place.
•Place one or two pre-warmed cups beneath
the Filter Holder outlet.
•Set the Selector Control to the ‘Espresso’
position.
•After a few seconds, aromatic coffee will
begin to brew into the cups. A pumping noise
will be heard in this operation.
•When sufficient coffee has flowed into the
cups, set the Selector Control to the ‘Standby’
position. This will stop the flow of coffee.
•If the steam function is not required, leave
the Selector Control to the ‘Standby’ position,
unplug the power cord and allow the machine
to cool.
PRE-BREW FUNCTION
•When the Selector Control is set to the
‘Espresso’ position, the 15 bar pump pumps
water momentarily, followed by a pause, then
continues to pump the water through to the
ground coffee in the Filter Holder. This pre-
brew function is an advanced feature of the
800ESXL. The ground coffee is moistened by
a small amount of water before full extraction.
The ground coffee expands and when greater
pressure is built up, the brewed coffee is
extracted with its full flavor.
STEP 8 – EMPTYING THE FILTER HOLDER
•Remove the Filter Holder from the Brew Head
by turning the Filter Holder to the left until it
releases. Turn the Filter Holder upside down
to empty the used coffee (used coffee
grounds should be thrown away and not put
down the sink which may block drains).
Remove the Filter by using the indents on the
side of the Filter Holder. Rinse the Filter and
Filter Holder with water and allow to dry.
16 OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE DIE CAST SERIES ESPRESSO MACHINE

The Die Cast Series Espresso Machine comes
complete with a Commercial Swivel Steam Wand
and Stainless Steel Frothing Attachment. When
using the Frothing Attachment a large amount of
froth is easily created.
If less froth is required, remove the Frothing
Attachment 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 end opening, onto the
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 frothing.
•The first step in making a cappuccino or latté
is to make a short espresso. Refer to
“Operating your Breville Die Cast Series
Espresso Machine” on Page 12.
•Then fill the stainless steel frothing jug 1/3full
with cold fresh milk.
•Turn the Selector Control to the ‘Steam’
position and press the ‘Steam’ button.
(Refer to information on Steam and Hot
Water buttons on Page 19.) The ‘Heating’
light will start to flash indicating that the
Thermoblock Heating System is heating and
preparing to create steam.

HOW TO FROTH MILK FOR A CAPPUCCINO OR LATTÉ
HOW TO FROTH MILK FOR A CAPPUCCINO OR LATTÉ
CAUTION: THE METAL PARTS OF THE FILTER HOLDER MIGHT STILL BE VERY
HOT. COOL THESE PARTS IN COLD WATER.

•When the red ‘Heating’ light stops flashing,
quickly insert the Steam Wand into the jug of
milk so that the Froth Attachment is just
immersed into the milk.
•Hold the frothing jug at an angle so that 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.
•When the milk starts to increase in volume,
immerse the 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.
•Pour the steamed milk into each cup of
freshly brewed espresso coffee and spoon in
the frothed milk, in the following ratios:
Cappuccino - 1/3espresso, 1/3steamed milk,
1/3frothed milk
Latté - 1/3espresso topped with steamed milk
and about 1/4 inch (1cm) of frothed milk
(traditionally served in a glass)
18 HOW TO FROTH MILK FOR A CAPPUCCINO OR LATTÉ
NOTE: When the 800ESXL is creating
steam a pulsing noise can be
heard. This is the normal
operation of the 15 Bar pump.
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. A pumping noise
will sound for a short time. NOTE: The 800ESXL features a Swivel
Steam Wand assembly so
the position of the Steam
Wand can be changed to a
comfortable angle.

CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW MILK 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.
19
STEAM BUTTON/HOT WATER BUTTON
•The Steam button surround will automatically
illuminate when the machine is switched ‘On’
with the Power On/Off button.
•The machine will always automatically default
to the Steam button when the appliance is
first switched on.
•Both buttons cannot be operated at the same
time.
•To select steam: when the Steam button
surround is illuminated, just set the Selector
Control to ‘Steam’
•To select hot water: press the Hot Water
button and the surround will illuminate, then
just set the Selector Control to ‘Steam’.
•If the machine remains switched ‘On’, the last
button function used (Steam or Hot Water)
will stay illuminated.
AUTO PURGE FUNCTION
For brewing more coffee immediately after using
the steam function, the 800ESXL features an
auto-purge function. This ensures that ground
coffee will not be burnt by the initial water flow
from the thermoblock that could be 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 flavored coffee is achieved.
HOW TO FROTH MILK FOR A CAPPUCCINO OR LATTÉ
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 on Page 20.
