Functions
TURNING OFF THE MACHINE
To turn the machine off, press the POWER
button. Alternatively, the machine has
auto-off, if it is not used for 30 minutes.
FILTER BASKETS
This machine includes 4 filter baskets;
2 x Single Wall and 2 x Dual Wall.
Single Wall filter baskets should be used when
grinding fresh whole coffee beans. They allow
you to experiment with grind, dose and tamp
to create a more balanced espresso.
1 CUP 2 CUP
Dual Wall filter baskets should be used when
using pre-ground coffee. They regulate the
pressure and help to optimize the extraction
regardless of the grind, dose and tamp pressure
or freshness.
1 CUP 2 CUP
Regardless of whether you use Single Wall
or Dual Wall filters baskets, use the 1 CUP
basket when brewing a single cup and the
2 CUP basket when brewing two cups or a
stronger single cup or mug.
You will need to adjust the grind amount and
size if switching from a single to a double
basket, or vice versa.
The provided filter baskets are designed for:
1 CUP basket = approx. 8-11g
2 CUP basket = approx. 16-19g
NOTE
You may need to experiment with how much
coffee is dosed into the filter basket or how
long the grinder needs to run to achieve
the correct dose. For example; when using
a finer espresso grind with the Single Wall
filter baskets, you may need to increase the
grind amount to ensure the filter basket is
correctly dosed.

13
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 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 coarse, 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.
SETTING THE GRIND SIZE
This machine has 30 grind settings to select
from, with the size selected displayed on the
LCD screen. The default grind size is 15.
When adjusting the grind size, a bar will
display on the LCD indicating a faster or
slower pour.

• Press and release the portafilter to
resume grinding.
NOTE
It is normal for the portafilter to appear
overfilled with ground coffee.
MANUAL DOSING
To manually dose the coffee, press and hold
the portafilter in the grinding cradle until the
desired amount of ground coffee has been
dosed. To stop grinding, release the portafilter.
The timer will count up, displaying
the grind time.

14
TAMPING THE GROUND COFFEE
• Remove the portafilter from the
grinding cradle.
• Tap the portafilter several timers to
collapse and distribute the coffee evenly
in the filter basket.
• Using the tamper, tamp down firmly (approx.
15-20kg 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 bags,
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 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.
• Insert the Razor™dose trimming tool into
the filter basket until the shoulders of the
tool rest on the rim of the basket. The blade
of the dose trimming tool should penetrate
the surface of the tamped coffee.
• Rotate the Razor™dose trimming tool back
and forth while holding the portafilter on
an angle over a knock box to trim off excess
coffee grinds. Your filter basket is now dosed
with the correct amount of coffee.
• Wipe excess coffee from the rim of the filter
basket to ensure a proper seal is achieved in
the group head.
PURGING THE GROUP HEAD
Before placing the portafilter into the group
head, run a short flow of water through the
group head by pressing the 1 CUP button.
This will stabilize the temperature prior to
extraction and preheat the portafilter for a
consistent shot temperature.
INSERTING THE PORTAFILTER
Place the portafilter underneath the group head
so that the handle is aligned with the INSERT
position. Insert the portafilter into the group
head and rotate the handle towards the centre
until firm resistance is felt.
LOCK TIGHT

15
EXTRACTING ESPRESSO
• As a guide the espresso will start to flow after 8–10 seconds (infusion time) and should be the
consistency of dripping honey.
• If the espresso starts to flow after less than 6 seconds, you have either under dosed the filter
basket and /or the grind is too coarse. This is an UNDER EXTRACTED shot.
• If the espresso starts to drip but doesn’t flow after 15 seconds, the grind is too fine. This is an
OVER EXTRACTED shot.
• Flow starts after 8-12 secs
• Flow slow like warm honey
• Crema is golden brown with a ne
mousse texture
• Espresso is dark brown
SOLUTIONS SOLUTIONS
Tamp using 15-20kgs
of pressure. The top
edge of metal cap on the
tamper should be level
with the top of the lter

Trim the puck to the
right level using the
Razor

milk is at the correct temperature (140-149°F
/ 60-65°C) when the jug is hot to touch.
• Once the desired temperature has been
achieved, turn the STEAM dial back to the
vertical position.
• Remove the steam wand from the milk jug.
• Wipe the steam wand with a clean, damp
cloth. Then return to lowered position over
the drip tray.
CAUTION: BURN HAZARD
Pressurized steam can still be released, even
after machine has been switched off.
Children must always be supervised.
NOTE
Ensure the STEAM dial is in the vertical
position before removing the steam wand from
the milk jug.

ADJUSTING CONICAL BURRS
Some types of coffee may require a wider grind range to achieve an ideal extraction or brew.
A feature of your Barista Pro™ is the ability to extend this range with an adjustable upper burr. We
recommend making only one adjustment at a time.

The water filter provided helps to prevent scale build up which over time can affect the
performance of your machine. Replacing the water filter every 2 months will reduce the need to
de-scale the machine.
If you live in a hard water area, we recommend changing the water filter more frequently.
• Remove the water filter from the plastic bag.
• Soak the filter in cold water for 5 minutes.
• Rinse the filter and mesh under cold running water.
• Set the reminder for the next month of replacement. We recommend replacing the filter
after 2 months.
• Insert the filter into the filter holder.
• Install the assembled filter holder in the water tank, ensuring it is locked into place.
• Fill the water tank with cold water before sliding back into position on the back of the machine
and locking into place.
NOTE
Replacement water filters can be purchased from the Breville website or by contacting Breville
Consumer Support.
