Functions
GRINDER OVERVIEW
Your Dose Control™ Pro uses Precision Conical
Burrs and can grind whole bean coee suitable
for a range of brewing methods, from the finest
setting for Espresso to the coarsest setting for
Plunger.
The grind amount (dose) for all coee types is
controlled by an electronic timer. The dose for
each brew method can be adjusted by rotating
the GRIND TIME dial and changing the time
the grinder will run. You can grind directly
into a Portafilter, Container or Drip Coee
filter basket.
Within each brew method, Espresso,
Percolator, Drip or Plunger, there is a range of
grind size settings; the grind settings will dier
between each brew method. This is because
each method requires dierent grind sizes for
optimum extraction. Experiment with dierent
grind size settings until you achieve the brew
that best suits your taste.
Rotating the Bean Hopper will turn the Grind
Size Collar to adjust grind size.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove and safely discard all promotional
labels and packing materials attached to your
Breville® product. Wash hopper, and cradles in
warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Wipe
exterior of grinder with a soft damp cloth and
dry thoroughly. Place grinder on flat level
surface and plug power cord into 220-240V
outlet and switch Power 'ON'.
ASSEMBLING YOUR BREVILLE®
CONTROL DOSE™ PRO
Bean Hopper
Align tabs on the base of the bean hopper
and insert hopper into position. Holding the
hopper, press down firmly and turn the bean
hopper dial 45° to lock into position.
A "click" sound will be heard when the hopper
is properly locked in place.
Ensure the hopper and the Grind Size
Collar is aligned properly.
Fill with fresh coee beans and secure lid on
top of bean hopper.
NOTE
If the bean hopper has not been locked into
position, the GRIND TIME dial will not be il-
luminated. This is to disable grinder operation
for safety reasons.


The bean hopper can be removed by
holding the hopper and turning the Dial
anti-clockwise and lifting hopper to remove.
The locking system allows you to remove
and transfer beans in the hopper to a storage
container safely.
GRINDING FOR ESPRESSO COFFEE
Use single wall filter baskets when grinding
fresh coee beans. Use the finer 1–25 settings in
the ESPRESSO range.

Step 2:
Selecting Grind Amount
Select the desired amount of ground coee
required by turning the GRIND TIME dial.
As a guide, start with 5 secs for a single shot
filter basket or 9 secs for a double shot filter
basket. This will vary depending on the
individual size of your filter basket. Refer to
the Coee Chart as a guide. Rotate the GRIND
TIME dial to adjust the grind time until the
correct dose is achieved. Increasing the time
will increase the dose and decreasing the time
will decrease the dose.
Step 3:
Tamping the Ground Coee
After dosing the portafilter with freshly ground
coee, tamp down with between 15-20kg of
pressure. The amount of pressure is not as
important as consistent pressure every time.

Step :
Trimming the Dose
The adjustable Razor™ Dose Trimming Tool
allows you to trim the puck to the right level
for a consistent extraction.
Select the correct width blade of the Razor™
tomatch the diameter of your filter basket.
TheRazor™ has three blades of varying widths:
mm, mm and mm. The mm and
mm are already fitted within the Razor™
body. The mm is separate.
If you require the mm blade, turn the
adjustment dial past  until the mm blade
is fully extended and able to be pulled from
the body.

If you require the mm blade, turn the

isfully extended and able to be pulled from
the body.

NOTE
The Adjustable Dial may feel tight as you
continue to wind it towards the end of its travel.
Insert the mm blade into the body. Wind
the Adjustable Dial until the blade is retracted
past . Press the mm and mm blades at
the same time, towards the centre of the body
until a “click” sound can be heard.

After tamping the coee, insert the Razor™
into the filter basket until it rests on the rim of
the basket. The blade of the dosing tool should
penetrate the surface of the tamped coee.
If the blade does not penetrate the surface
of the tamped coee, your coee is under
dosed. Increase the amount of dosed coee
byadjusting the GRIND TIME dial.
Rotate the Razor™ back and forth while holding
the portafilter on an angle over the knock box
to trim o a little excess coee.
