Assembly
BEFORE FIRST USE
Machine Preparation
Remove and discard all labels and packaging
materials attached to your espresso machine.
Ensure you have removed all parts and
accessories before discarding the packaging.
Remove the plastic bag containing the water
filter and water filter holder. Clean parts and
accessories (water tank, portafilter, filter basket,
jug) using warm water and a gentle dish
washing liquid. Rinse well then dry thoroughly.
TIP
To easily manoeuvre your machine, use the
drop down swivel foot located under the drip
tray. When turned to UNLOCK, the swivel
foot drops down & lifts the machine upwards,
making it easier to access the removable
water tank or reposition the machine to
another location.
INSTALLING THE WATER FILTER
• Remove the water filter and water filter holder
from the plastic bag.
• Soak the filter in cold water for 5 minutes.
• Wash the filter holder with cold water.
• Set the reminder for next month of
replacement. We recommend to replace the
filter after 3 months.
• Insert the filter into the two parts of the
filter holder.
• To install the assembled filter holder into the
water tank, align the base of the filter holder
with the adapter inside the water tank.
Push down to lock into place.
• Fill the water tank with cold water before
sliding back into position at the back of the
machine and locking into place.
NOTE
Replacing the water filter after three months or
10.6 USgal / 40L will reduce the need to descale
the machine. Filter can be purchased
at Breville webpage.
NOTE
DO NOT use highly filtered, demineralised or
distilled water in this machine. This may affect
the taste of the coffee.

NOTE
If your water hardness is either 4 or 5 when
tested, we strongly recommend you change to
an alternate water source.
Filtered, bottled spring or mineral water will
extend both the life of your built-in filter and
descale intervals as well as superior taste.
Please ensure to test the water hardness of the
alternative water source you've chosen and
input into the machine accordingly. Avoid
using overly filtered water, like RO water
unless some mineral content is being added
back to the final water. Never use distilled
water, or water with no or low mineral content
as this will affect both the taste and the
functioning of your machine.
GRINDING OPERATION
Insert bean hopper into position on-top of the
machine. Turn dial to lock into place.
Fill hopper with fresh beans.
TIP
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.

This procedure is also intended as an anti-freeze measure in the event the machine is exposed
to extreme cold temperatures.

17
Tips
PRE-HEATING
Heating your cup or glass
A warm cup will help maintain the coffee’s
optimal temperature. Pre-heat your cup by
rinsing with hot water from the hot water outlet
and place on the cup warming tray.
Heating the portafilter and filter basket
A cold portafilter and filter basket can
reduce the extraction temperature enough to
significantly affect the quality of your espresso.
Always ensure the portafilter and filter basket
are pre-heated with hot water from the hot
water outlet before initial use.
NOTE
Always wipe the filter basket and portafilter dry
before dosing with ground coffee as moisture
can encourage ‘channeling’ where water by-
passes the ground coffee during extraction.
THE GRIND
When grinding coffee beans for espresso, 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 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, lacking in
color and flavor.
AUTOMATIC GRINDING,
DOSING & TAMPING
• Ensure hopper is filled with fresh coffee beans.
Never put pre-ground coffee in the hopper.
• After automatic grinding, dosing & tamping,
wipe any excess coffee from the rim of the
filter basket to ensure a proper seal in the
group head is achieved.
• To adjust tamping height, please use the
allen key provided. Pull the tamping fan
down from the grind outlet, and then
loosen the fan coupling inside by rotating it
counterclockwise. You can adjust the length
of the coupling by loosening the fastener with
the allen key and rotating the coupling to the
desired length.
PURGING THE GROUP HEAD
Before placing the portafilter into the group
head, run a short flow of water through the
group head by touching the 'Brew' button.
Allow water to flow for 5 seconds, then touch
the 'Brewing' button again to stop the flow of
water. This will purge any ground coffee residue
from the group head and stabilize the water
temperature prior to extraction.
EXTRACTING ESPRESSO
• As a guide, the espresso will start to flow
within 8-12 seconds (this includes pre-infusion
time) and should be the consistency of warm
dripping honey.
• If the espresso starts to flow before
8 seconds, the grind is too coarse. This is an
UNDER-EXTRACTED shot. Adjust the grind
size slightly finer.
• If the espresso starts to flow after 12 seconds,
then the grind is too fine. This is an OVER-
EXTRACTED shot. Adjust the grind size
slightly coarser.

18
A great espresso is about achieving the
perfect balance between sweetness, acidity
and bitterness.
The flavor of your coffee will depend on many
factors, such as the type of coffee beans, degree
of roast, freshness, coarseness or fineness
of the grind.
Experiment by adjusting these factors just one
at a time to achieve the taste of your preference.

HINTS & TIPS
If machine runs continuously for 30
minutes, allow machine to cool for 3 minutes
before each use.
TEXTURING MILK
• Always start with fresh cold milk.
• Fill milk jug to below the spout position. At
a minimum, there should be enough milk to
cover the steam wand seal.
• To remove any condensed water from the
system, ensure the steam wand is in the down
position over the drip tray then touch the
Milk button, allow steam to flow for a few
seconds, then touch the Milk button to stop.
• When texturing milk automatically, ensure
the steam wand is fully down.
HINTS & TIPS
For optimum milk texturing performance it
is critical that the holes around the steam tip
are clear. Even partially blocked holes may
affect the ability of the steam wand to produce
sufficient foam.
Always wipe the wand and tip with a damp
cloth BEFORE returning the wand to the down
position. Wiping the wand will remove the
majority of milk and allow the automatic
purge feature to more effectively remove any
residual milk.
After texturing is complete
• Tap the jug on the counter-top to collapse
any bubbles.
• Swirl the jug to polish and re-integrate
the texture.
• Pour milk directly into the espresso.
• The key is to work quickly, before the milk
begins to separate.
For manual texturing
• Lift the steam wand and insert the steam tip
0.4-0.8 inch / 1-2 cm below the surface of the
milk close to the right hand side of the jug at
the 3 o’clock position. Enter manual frothing
mode by pressing and holding the 'Milk'
button (approx 2secs), and then start frothing
by touching the button.
• Keep the tip just under the surface of the
milk until the milk is spinning clockwise,
producing a vortex (whirlpool effect).
• With the milk spinning, slowly lower the jug.
This will bring the steam tip to the surface of
the milk & start to introduce air into the milk.
You may have to gently break the surface of
the milk with the tip to get the milk spinning
fast enough.
• Keep the tip at or slightly below the surface,
continuing to maintain the vortex. Texture
the milk until sufficient volume is obtained.
• Lift the handle of the jug to lower the tip
beneath the surface, but keep the vortex
of milk spinning. Use the touch screen
to monitor the milk temperature. We
recommend 131°F-149°F / 55°C–65°C.
• Touch the Milk button to stop steaming
BEFORE lowering the jug and taking the tip
out of the milk.

19
COFFEE BEAN HINTS & TIPS
• Fresh, quality coffee beans will give you the
best possible extraction.
• 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. Ideally
only grind directly before the extraction to
Maximize flavor.
• Buy coffee beans in small batches to reduce
the storage time.
• Store coffee beans in a cool, dark and dry
container. Vacuum seal if possible.

The provided water filter helps prevent scale build-up in and on many of the inner functioning
components. Replacing the water filter after three months or 10.6 USgal / 40L will reduce the need
to descale the machine.
The limitation of 10.6 USgal / 40L is based on water hardness level 4. If you are in level 2 area,
you can increase this to 16 USgal / 60L.
NOTE
To purchase water filters visit Breville webpage.
CLEANING CYCLE
There will be a message prompt when a cleaning cycle is required. This is a back-flushing cycle
and is separate from descaling. Follow the instruction on the screen.
DESCALING
After regular use, hard water can cause mineral build up in and on many of the inner functioning
components, reducing the brewing flow, brewing temperature, power of the machine, and taste of
the espresso. Even if you used the provided water filter, we recommend you to descale if there is
scale build-up in the water tank.
Go to 'Settings' and select 'Descale cycle'. Follow the instructions on the screen.
