Operating your Breville Espresso/Cappuccino Machine  
Before Using Your Espresso Machine  
Preparing the Coffee  
Wash the filter holder and the stainless filters in mild  
detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly.  
Place the 1 or 2 cup filter into the filter holder and  
fill with ground espresso coffee (use the smaller  
filter for 1 cup and the larger filter for 2 cups).  
It is recommended to complete a brewing operation  
with cold water but without ground coffee before  
making your first coffee to ensure that all internal  
piping has been preheated (see ‘Brewing Coffee’  
page 8).

Pre-brew function  
Cup warming plate  
Use the measuring/tamping spoon provided to  
measure 1 level measure of 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  
ground coffee for each filter as the filter  
perforations have been constructed to utilise the  
pressure build up in the machine to extract optimal  
flavour with each brewing.  
Removable 1.7 litre water tank

*Pre-brew function  
How to froth milk for a cappuccino or latte  
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 ‘STAND BY’ position. This will avoid the  
steam pressure blowing milk out of the jug.  
A pumping noise will sound for a short time.  
When the Selector Control is set to the ‘Espresso’/cup  
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 BarVista Espresso/Cappuccino Machine. 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 flavour.  
The Breville BarVista comes complete with a Froth  
Enhancer for easier frothing of milk. When less froth is  
required, remove the Froth Enhancer and steam the milk  
using the Steam Wand. To remove the Froth Enhancer,  
ensure it is cool then simply pull down and remove.  
Place the filter holder underneath the brew head so  
that the handle is positioned to the left of centre.  
Lift the filter holder until it contacts the brew head  
and rotate to the right, as per graphics on the filter  
holder outlet.  
The first step in making a cappuccino/latte is to make  
a short espresso (Follow steps on ‘Brewing Coffee’).  
Note  
Pre-warming cups  
Then:  
For optimal coffee temperature, pre-warm the espresso  
cups by placing them on the cup warming plate.

Fill the stainless steel frothing jug ⁄ full with  
cold milk.  
When sufficient coffee has flowed into the cups,  
turn the selector control to the ‘STAND BY’ position.  
This will stop the flow of coffee.  
When the milk has begun to increase in volume,  
immerse the froth enhancer deeper into the milk to  
further heat the milk.  
Turn the Selector Control to the ‘Steam’ position.  
The orange ‘heating’ light will start to flash  
indicating that the Thermoblock Heating System is  
heating and preparing to create steam.  
Brewing coffee  
Ensure the selector control is in the  
‘STAND BY’ position.  
If the steam function is not required, press the  
power ‘on/off’ button to the ‘OFF’ position, switch  
off at the power outlet, unplug the power cord and  
allow the machine to cool.  
Place your hand on the bottom of the stainless  
frothing jug.  
Plug the power cord into a 230/240V electrical  
outlet and switch on.  
When the BarVista Espresso/Cappuccino Machine  
is creating steam a pulsing noise can be heard.  
This is the normal operation of the 15 bar pump.  
When the jug becomes too hot to touch, turn the  
selector control to the ‘STAND BY’ position to stop  
the steaming function before removing the jug.  
Press the power ‘on/off’ button to the ‘ON’ position.  
The orange ‘heating’ light turns off when the  
machine has reached the correct temperature.  
Remove the filter holder from the brew head, turn  
the filter holder upside down to empty the used  
coffee (used coffee grounds should be thrown away  
with domestic waste and not down the sink which  
may block drains). Remove the filter and rinse the  
filter and filter holder with water and allow to dry.  
Pour the steamed milk to each cup of freshly  
brewed espresso coffee and spoon on the frothed  
milk in the following ratios:  
Note  
Ensure the drip tray is in place.  
Place one or two pre-heated cups beneath the filter  
holder outlet.  
As soon as the orange ‘heating’ light has switched  
off, quickly insert the steam wand into jug the of

Coffee making tips  
Making a good cup of coffee is an art that is simple  
to achieve. Here are some tips to help you make the  
perfect coffee.  
Auto Purge System  
The grind  
For brewing more coffee immediately after using the  
steam function, the BarVista Espresso/Cappuccino  
Machine features an auto-purge system. This ensures  
that the 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 flavoured  
coffee is achieved.  
If using a pre-ground coffee, ensure an espresso grind  
suitable for espresso/cappuccino machines is purchased.  
If grinding coffee beans, the grind should be fine but  
not too fine or powdery. The grind will affect the rate  
at which the water flows through the coffee in the  
Filter and therefore the taste of the coffee.  
To enjoy an optimum flavoured espresso coffee,  
do not extract more than approximately 30ml  
(using the 1 cup filter holder) or for a double  
espresso do not extract more than 60ml (using a  
2 cup filter holder).  
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 coffee will be over extracted, too dark  
and bitter, with a mottled and uneven crema on top.  
Note  
The coffee  
If the grind is too coarse the water will flow through  
the coffee too quickly. This will result  
in an under-extracted coffee lacking in flavour and  
without the thick crema on the top layer  
of coffee.  
Pre-ground coffee can be used and should be stored in  
an air-tight container, in a cool, dry area. Pre-ground  
coffee should not be kept for longer than 1 week as  
flavour will diminish. Do not refrigerate or freeze.  
Whole coffee beans, freshly ground just before use,  
are recommended. Coffee beans should be stored in  
an air-tight container, in a cool, dry area but should  
not be kept for longer than 1 month as flavour will  
diminish. Do not refrigerate or freeze.  
Tamping the coffee  
After measuring the ground coffee into the Filter it  
must be tamped (pressed down) using the flat end  
of the measuring spoon. The ground coffee should  
be tamped quite firmly.  
Water flow  
If the coffee is not tamped firmly enough, the water  
will flow through the water too quickly and the  
coffee will be under extracted. If the coffee is tamped  
too firmly, however, the water will flow through the  
coffee too slowly and the coffee will be over extracted.  
When brewing coffee, make sure the water flows  
through the Coffee Filter at the correct rate.  
If the water flow is too slow the coffee will be over  
extracted and will be very dark and bitter, with a  
mottled and uneven crema on top.  
The taste of your coffee will, of course, depend  
on personal preference and on many other  
factors such as the type of coffee bean used, the  
coarseness or fineness of the grind and the  
tamping pressure (pressed down). We recommend  
experimenting by varying these factors to  
achieve the coffee taste of your preference.  
If the water flow is too fast, the coffee will be under  
extracted – the optimal flavour will not develop,  
the coffee will be watery and lack the thick crema  
on the top.  
The water flow can be adjusted by varying the  
pressure that the coffee is tamped (pressed down) in  
the Filter or by changing the grind of the coffee.  
LIQUID SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN OVER THE TOP OF THE FROTH ENHANCER,  
OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT FUNCTION.  
TO AVOID SPLATTERING HOT MILK, DO NOT LIFT THE STEAM NOZZLE ABOVE THE SURFACE OF  
THE MILK WHILE FROTHING.  
Note  
ENSURE THE SELECTOR CONTROL IS IN THE ‘STAND BY’ POSITION BEFORE REMOVING THE  
FROTHING JUG.

Care and cleaning  
Cleaning the steam wand and  
Froth Enhancer  
The steam wand and Froth Enhancer should always  
be cleaned after frothing milk.  
Cleaning the filters, filter holder and  
brewing head  
Cleaning the drip tray  
Decalcifying the machine  
The drip tray should be removed, emptied and  
cleaned at regular intervals, particularly when the  
water level indicator is exposed indicating the drip  
tray is full.  
Ensure the selector control is in the ‘STAND BY’  
position and that the plug is disconnected from the  
power outlet.  
The stainless filters and filter holder should be  
rinsed under running water directly after use to  
remove all coffee particles. Should the fine holes in  
the filters become blocked, the fine pin on the  
Cleaning Tool can be used to clear the holes  
Remove the Froth Enhancer and rinse under warm  
tap water. Ensure the holes at either end of the  
Froth Enhancer are clear. Use the pin on the  
Cleaning Tool to unblock these holes.  
Remove the Filter Holder and Froth Enhancer. Pour  
the decalcifying solution into the water tank.  
Remove the grid and water level indicator from the  
drip tray and wash all three parts in warm water  
using a non-abrasive washing liquid. Rinse and dry  
thoroughly.  
Plug the machine into the power outlet and turn on.  
Press power ‘on/off’ button to the ‘ON’ position and  
turn the selector control to the ‘STAND BY’ position.  
Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth and  
briefly set the selector control to the ‘Steam’  
position to clear any remaining milk from the  
steam wand.  
Place a large container under both the Brew Head  
and the Steam Wand.  
Do not place any of the parts or accessories in  
the dishwasher.  
As soon as the brewing temperature is reached the  
orange ‘heating’ light will switch off. Turn the  
selector control to the ‘Espresso’/cup position and  
allow half the decalcifying solution run through the  
Brew Head.  
Ensure the Selector Control is in the ‘STAND BY’  
position. Press the ‘on/off’ button to OFF, switch off  
at the power outlet, unplug the power cord and  
allow the machine to cool.  
Note  
Decalcifying  
After regular use, hard water can cause mineral build  
up in and on many of the inner functioning  
components, reducing the brewing flow, power of the  
machine, and affecting the quality of coffee.  
If the steam wand becomes blocked, use the pin  
on the Cleaning Tool to clear the opening.  
The brewing head should be wiped with a damp  
cloth to remove any residual coffee grounds.  
Turn the selector control to the ‘Steam’ position and  
allow the remaining solution run through the Steam  
Wand. When the solution has stops flowing, turn  
the selector control back to the ‘STAND BY’ position.  
If the Steam Wand remains blocked, the tip of the  
Steam Wand can be removed by using the spanner  
in the middle of the Cleaning tool. Soak the tip in  
hot water before using the pin on the Cleaning Tool  
to unblock. Replace the tip back onto the Steam  
Wand and secure with the Cleaning Tool.  
It is advisable to periodically run water through the  
machine with the filter holder in place but without  
any coffee to clean out any residual coffee grounds.  
We advise decalcifying the machine on a regular  
basis (every 2-3 months) using a mixture of white  
vinegar and water. Use the following as a guide:  
After decalcifying, remove the Water Tank and rinse  
thoroughly then re-fill with fresh cold water. To  
rinse the machine, run half the water through the  
Brew Head and half through the Steam Wand.  
Cleaning the housing/cup warming tray  
Diluted solution (for softer water)  
1 part white vinegar  
The outer housing can be cleaned with a soft,  
damp cloth (do not use abrasive agents or cloths  
which can scratch the surfaces).  
The machine is ready for use.  
2 parts cold tap water  
Concentrated solution (for harder water)  
1 part white vinegar  
The stainless steel filters should not come in  
contact with any decalcifying agents.  
1 part cold tap water  
Do not use powdered decalcifying agents.  
Note  
DO NOT IMMERSE ANY PART OF YOUR BARVISTA ESPRESSO/CAPPUCCINO MACHINE IN WATER  
OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.  
THE WATER TANK SHOULD NEVER BE REMOVED OR COMPLETELY EMPTIED DURING DECALCIFYING.
