Operating your Breville Espresso / Cappuccino Machine  
Clean any excess coffee from the rim of the filter  
holder to ensure a proper fit under the brew head.  
Before using your Espresso /  
Cappuccino Machine  
Pre-heating the machine  
Preparing the coffee  
For optimal crema, it is recommended to carry out a  
complete brewing operation with water but without  
any coffee grinds before making your first coffee to  
ensure that the machine has been preheated.  
Place the 1 or 2 cup filter into the filter holder and  
fill with espresso coffee (use the smaller filter for  
1 cup and the larger filter for 2 cups).  
Place the filter retainer clip in the release position,  
by pulling the clip back towards your hand.  
Wash the filter holder and the stainless filters in mild  
detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly.  
Use 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 coffee as the filter perforations have been  
constructed for optimal pressure build up in  
the machine.  
Filling the water tank  
Make sure the selector control is in the  
Standby position.  
Ensure the power switch and selector control are  
set to the standby position.  
Plug the power cord into a 230/240V electrical  
outlet, switch on and set the power switch to the  
‘ON’ position.  
Turn off at the power outlet and unplug the  
power cord.  
Lift up the water tank lid and remove the water  
tank. Fill with cold water to the maximum mark  
and replace in the machine, pressing down firmly  
so that the water valve opens. Close the water  
tank lid.  
As soon as the orange ‘Heating’ light turns off, set  
the selector control to the  
Espresso position  
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.  
and run a small amount of water through the  
brewing head for a few seconds without the filter  
holder in place.  
Pre-warming cups  
For optimal coffee temperature, pre-warm  
the espresso cups by placing them on the cup  
warming plate.  
Distribute the coffee evenly and press it lightly  
with the bottom of the measuring spoon (if there  
is too much coffee, the flow of water can  
become blocked).  
The water tank should be filled with fresh cold  
water before use.  
Check water level before use and replace the  
water daily.  
Do not use mineral or distilled water.

Set the selector control to the  
Steam position.  
Brewing coffee  
The machine remains ready for brewing and  
maintains a constant heating temperature as  
long as the Power switch is left in the ‘On’  
position. If the temperature should drop, the  
orange control light will illuminate and the  
heater will automatically heat up to the correct  
brewing temperature.  
Always ensure that the frothing attachment  
has been firmly pushed onto the steam wand  
For best results use fresh cold milk (lite milk  
will froth easier).  
Make sure the selector control is in the  
standby position.  
Gently move the frothing jug in a circular motion  
around the froth enhancer.  
Plug the power cord into a 230/240V electrical  
outlet, switch on and set the power switch to  
the standby position.  
When the milk has begun to increase in volume,  
immerse the froth enhancer deeper into the milk  
to further heat the milk.  
Always clean the steam wand and froth  
enhancer after every use (refer to care  
and cleaning).  
As soon as the orange ‘Heating’ light turns off, the  
machine is heated up.  
Place your hand on the bottom of the stainless  
frothing jug. When the jug becomes too hot to  
touch, set the selector control to the standby  
position to stop the steaming function before  
removing the jug. This will ensure that you don’t  
burn the milk.  
If brewing more coffee straight after using  
the steam function, set the selector control to

As soon as the orange ‘Heating’ light turns off,  
plunge the steam wand into jug of milk so that the  
main head of the froth enhancer is immersed into  
the milk.  
If you do not need to use the steam function, set  
the power switch to the ‘Off’ position, unplug the

Add the steamed milk to each cup of freshly  
brewed espresso coffee and spoon on the frothed  
milk in the following ratios:  
Remove the filter holder from the brew head and  
using the filter retainer clip to secure the filter in  
the filter holder, 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).  
Rinse the filter and filter holder with water and  
allow to dry.

Coffee making tips

Before cleaning, ensure the selector control is in the

unplug the power cord and allow the unit to cool.  
Tips on making the perfect espresso  
The grind  
Cleaning the housing / cup warming tray  
Don’t just rely on your coffee maker to do  
all the work. Making a good cup of coffee  
is an art.  
If using pre-ground coffee, ensure you purchase an  
espresso grind for espresso/cappuccino machines.  
The outer housing can be cleaned with a soft,  
damp cloth (do not use abrasive agents or cloths  
which can scratch the surfaces).  
If grinding your own beans the coffee must be  
ground fine, but not too fine. It can effect the taste  
and the rate the water flows through it.  
Cleaning the steam wand and  
froth enhancer  
Water flow  
Cleaning the drip tray  
The steam wand and froth enhancer should always  
be cleaned after frothing milk.  
If you’re making an espresso, make sure the water  
flows through the coffee filter at the correct rate. If  
its too slow, the coffee will be over-extracted - too  
dark and bitter, with a mottled and uneven crema on  
top. If it flows too quickly, the coffee will be under-  
extracted - the proper flavour won’t have had time to  
develop. You can adjust the water flow by tamping  
(pressing down) the coffee firmly or by changing the  
grind of the coffee.  
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.  
If the grind is too fine, the water will not flow  
through the coffee even under pressure (this grind  
looks like powder and feels like flour when rubbed  
between fingers).  
Remove the froth enhancer and rinse under warm  
tap water.  
Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth.  
Remove the grid, steam baffle and water level  
indicator from the drip tray, wash all 4 parts with  
water and non-abrasive washing liquid before  
rinsing and drying.  
If the grind is too coarse, the water flows  
through the coffee too fast, preventing a full  
flavoured extraction.  
Briefly set the selector control to the  
Steam  
position to clear any remaining milk from the  
steam wand.  
If the steam wand becomes blocked, wait for the  
machine to cool before using a needle or paperclip  
to unblock the opening.  
Do not place any of the components in  
the dishwasher.  
The coffee  
Pre-ground coffee will only retain its flavour for  
1 week, provided it is stored in an air tight container,  
in a cool, dark area. Whole coffee beans are  
Note  
Cleaning the filters, filter holder  
and brewing head  
recommended and should be ground just before use.  
Coffee beans stored in an airtight container will keep  
up to 1 month before they begin to lose their flavour.  
Do not store in a refrigerator freezer.  
Directly after use, remove used coffee grounds and  
rinse the stainless filters and filter holder under  
running water. Should the fine holes in the filters  
become blocked, then a normal dishwashing  
brush should be used (do not use a brush with  
metal bristles).  
The brewing head should be wiped with a damp  
cloth to remove any old espresso grounds.  
It is advisable to periodically run water through the  
unit with the filter in place but without any coffee  
to clean out any old coffee grounds.  
DO NOT IMMERSE ANY PART OF YOUR BREVILLE ESPRESSO/CAPPUCCINO MACHINE IN WATER  
OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
