SHORT CORD
INSTRUCTIONS
Your Breville appliance
is fitted with a short power cord
to reduce personal injury or
property damage resulting
from pulling, tripping or
becoming entangled with a
longer cord. Longer detachable
power cords or extension cords
are available and may be used
if care is exercised. If
an extension cord is used,
(1) the marked electrical rating
of the cord set or extension cord
should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the
appliance,
(2) the cord should be arranged
so that it will not drape over the
counter-top or table where it
can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally and
(3) the extension cord must
include a 3-prong
grounding plug.
BREVILLE ASSIST™ PLUG
Your Breville appliance comes
with a unique Assist™ Plug,
conveniently designed with
a finger hole to ease removal
from the power outlet.
CSA DUTY CYCLE
MARKING
The Canadian Standards
Authority requires any
appliances capable of drawing
over 1500W to be marked with
a ‘duty cycle’ in minutes. For the
BES500, this ‘duty cycle’
represents the maximum time
for which the appliance will
draw over 1500W during any 2
hour period of use. It does not
indicate the appliance is unsafe
for continuous use
or is required to be switched off
at certain intervals during
normal use.

Once there is sufficient water, all buttons will be
illuminated and the machine can be used.
FILTER BASKETS
This machine includes dual wall 1 Cup and
2 Cup filter baskets.
1 CUP 2 CUP

10
Use the 1 cup filter basket when brewing
a single cup and the 2 cup filter baskets
when brewing 2 cups or a stronger single
cup or mug.
You will need to adjust the grind amount
and size if switching from a single basket
to a double basket, or vice versa.
The provided filter baskets are designed for:
1 Cup filter basket = 8-11g
2 Cup filter basket = 16-19g
NOTE
Use Razor™ dose trimming tool to precisely
control the dose of ground coffee AFTER
you tamp.
THE GRIND
When grinding coffee beans, the grind size
should be fine but not too fine. The grind size
will affect the rate at which the water flows
through the ground coffee in the filter basket
and the taste of the espresso.
If the grind is too fine (looks like powder
and feels like flour when rubbed between the
fingers), the water will not flow through the
coffee even when under pressure. The resulting
espresso will be OVER EXTRACTED, dark in
color and bitter in flavor.
If the grind is too course, the water will flow
through the ground coffee in the filter basket
too quickly. The resulting espresso will be
UNDER EXTRACTED and lacking in color
and flavor.
COFFEE DOSE AND TAMPING
• Insert the filter basket into the portafilter.
• Grind enough coffee to fill the filter basket.
• Tap the portafilter several times to collapse and
distribute the coffee evenly in the filter basket.
• Using the tamper, tamp down firmly (approx.
30-40 lbs (15-20kgs) of pressure). The
amount of pressure is not as important as the
consistent pressure every time.
• As a guide, the top edge of the cap on the
tamper should be level with the top of the
filter basket AFTER the coffee has been
tamped.
NOTE
We recommend quality 100% Arabica beans
with a ‘Roasted On’ date stamped on the bag,
not a ‘Best Before’ or ‘Use By’ date. Coffee beans
are best consumed between 5–20 days after the
‘Roasted On’ date. Stale coffee may pour too
quickly from the portafilter spouts and taste
bitter and watery.
TRIMMING THE DOSE
The Razor™ precision dose trimming tool
allows you to trim the puck to the right
level for a consistent extraction.
the Razor™
Precision dose trimming tool
• Insert the Razor™ tool into the coffee basket
until the shoulders of the tool rest on the rim of
the basket. The blade of the dosing tool should
penetrate the surface of the tamped coffee.
• Rotate the Razor™ dosing tool back and forth
while holding the portafilter on an angle
over the knock box to trim off excess coffee
grinds. Your coffee filter is now dosed with
the correct amount of coffee.
