FEATURES OF YOUR BREVILLE PROFESSIONAL 800 COLLECTION™ PROGRAMMABLE ESPRESSO MACHINE
White Zone - Ideal Espresso
Programmable Function
Hot Water Wand
The gauge needle when positioned within the
recommended White Zone during pouring
indicates that the espresso will be produced at
the ideal pressure. The brewed espresso should
have a generous layer of fine textured and
evenly coloured golden crèma.
This espresso machine offers a convenient
choice between the Manual Operation or the
intelligent Programmable Function that can be
personalised with the user’s favourite espresso
setting.
The dedicated hot water wand is ideal for
making your favourite hot drinks. For convenient
use the wand has a commercial style 360° ball
joint.
Green Zone - Under Extracted
The gauge needle when positioned within the
Green Zone during pouring indicates that the
espresso will be produced with insufficient
pressure resulting in an ‘under extracted’
espresso. This occurs when the water flow
through the ground coffee in the filter is too
fast. As a result the optimal flavour will not be
extracted and the coffee will be watery and lack
thick créma on the top. Possible other causes
for under extraction are: coffee grind is too
coarse and/or insufficient coffee in filter and/or
under tamping.
Espresso Pressure Gauge
The espresso pressure gauge assists in
obtaining the most favourable extraction
pressure, guiding the user to create their ideal
espresso. This is achieved by measuring the
pressure at which the water is being forced
through the ground coffee in the filter holder.
Red Zone - Over Extracted
The gauge needle when positioned within
the Red Zone during pouring will indicate
that the espresso will be produced with too
much pressure resulting in an ‘over extracted’
espresso. This occurs when the water flow
through the ground coffee in the filter is too
slow. As a result the coffee will be very dark
and bitter, with a mottled and uneven créma on
top. Possible other causes for over extraction
are: ground coffee is too fine and/or too much
ground coffee in filter and/or over tamping.

FEATURES OF YOUR BREVILLE PROFESSIONAL 800 COLLECTION™ PROGRAMMABLE ESPRESSO MACHINE (continued)
Commercial Style Steam Wand
Advanced Dual Wall Créma System
Filters
The ‘Power Save Mode’ uses 45% less
power than when the machine is in
‘Stand by’ Mode.
The swivel-action steam wand, with
stainless steel frothing attachment, easily
adjusts to the perfect position for texturing
milk. The wand has a commercial style
360° ball joint.
Advanced Dual Wall Créma System Filters
(one and two cup) are supplied with the
Breville Professional 800 Collection™
Programmable Espresso Machine.
During ‘Power Save Mode’ only the
POWER button surround will be
illuminated. All other button and light
surrounds will not be illuminated.
The Advanced Dual Wall Créma System
Filters are designed to intentionally
slow the water flow rate during brewing,
allowing you to easily pour your espresso
at the ideal pressure, for the perfect
créma.
To re-activate the machine during ‘Power
Save Mode’, simply press the program or
one-cup or two-cup buttons. The POWER
button surround will then illuminate and
flash while the machine quickly reheats to
operational temperature. When the correct
temperature has been reached, all the
button surrounds on the control panel
will illuminate.
The filters are suited to both pre-ground
vacuum packed coffee and freshly ground
coffee.
Electronic Temperature Control
To switch off the espresso machine whilst
it is in ‘Power Save Mode’, simply press
the POWER button once.
The electronic temperature control system
accurately maintains the optimal brewing
temperature of the water. This helps
ensure the user gets the best possible
extraction each time an espresso is made.
Energy Saving Features
The Breville Professional 800 Collection™
Programmable Espresso Machine will
enter the ‘Power Save Mode’ if not used
for one hour, and will automatically switch
off if not used for a further three hours.

NOTE: 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 ‘Standby’ position. This will
avoid the steam pressure blowing
milk out of the jug.
If less texture is required, remove the

• Hold the jug at an angle with one hand
and place your other hand on the outer
base of the stainless frothing jug.
• When the base of the jug becomes too
hot to touch, set the Selector Control
to the ‘Standby’ position, stopping
the steaming function before
removing the jug. A pumping noise will
sound for a short time, do not be
alarmed as there will be a five second
delay prior to the machine carrying out
the Auto-purge function.
NOTE: Always ensure that the frothing
attachment has been firmly pushed
onto the steam wand and connects
with the rubber surround. For best
results use cold fresh milk (low
fat milk will froth easier). Always
clean the steam wand and frothing
attachment after every use. Refer
to ‘Care and Cleaning’, page 24.
• Hold the frothing jug at an angle so
that steam wand and/or the frothing
attachment sits just below the surface of
the heating milk and the steam will move
the milk around the inside of the jug in a
circular motion.
• Pour the steamed milk into each cup of
freshly brewed espresso coffee and

COFFEE MAKING TIPS
PURGE THE GROUP HEAD
WARMING YOUR CUP OR GLASS
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
créma on top.
Before inserting the filter holder, run
some water through the group head. It
will ensure that your machine has a last
minute ‘clean through’ and stabilises the
temperature prior to extracting.
A warm cup will help maintain the coffee’s
optimal temperature. Preheat your cup by
storing on the cup warming tray or rinsing
with hot water from the hot water wand.
WARMING THE FILTER HOLDER
A cold filter holder can drop the extraction
temperature enough to significantly affect
the quality of your coffee. Always ensure
the filter holder is preheated by running
hot water through it before tamping it with
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 créma on
the top layer of coffee.
NOTE: Make sure to wipe off any excess
coffee from the rim of the filter to
ensure a proper seal is achieved
under the group head.
BREWING YOUR ESPRESSO
THE RIGHT MEASUREMENT
The most common mistake in brewing is
to over extract from your ground coffee.
This results in a bitter beverage with visibly
bleached crèma. Crèma is the caramel
coloured layer that floats on top of the
coffee following extraction.
A single espresso is made with ¼ ounce or
7g of coffee. A level measure of the tamp/
spoon is the correct amount of coffee for a
single espresso and 2 level measures for a
double espresso. It is important to use the
correct filter for the amount of coffee.
NOTE: Always wipe the filter and filter
holder dry before tamping with
ground coffee as moisture can
encourage ‘drilling’ - this is when
water bypasses the ground coffee
during extraction.
TAMPING CORRECTLY
NOTE: The taste of your coffee will, of
course, depend on personal
THE GRIND
Level the desired amount of coffee by
gently tapping the side of the filter holder
before pressing down firmly with the
tamping end of the measuring spoon.
When packing for a double espresso it is
important only to tamp after the second
measure. Tamping between measures
will create a layer in the coffee that can
impede full extraction.
If using a pre-ground coffee, ensure an
espresso grind suitable for espresso/
cappuccino machines is purchased.
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 grinding coffee beans, the grind should
be fine but not too fine or powdery. The
grind will effect the rate at which the water
flows through the coffee in the filter and
therefore the taste of the coffee.
If the grind is too fine (looks like powder

CLEANING THE FILTERS, FILTER HOLDER
AND GROUP HEAD
• Ensure the Selector Control is in the
‘Standby’ position. Press the POWER
button to off, switch off at the power
outlet, unplug the power cord and allow
the machine to cool.
• The steam wand and frothing
attachment should always be cleaned
after frothing milk
• The stainless steel filters and filter holder
should be rinsed under 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.
• If the Steam Wand remains blocked, use
the pin on the cleaning tool to clear the
opening.
• Remove the frothing attachment and
rinse in warm tap water. Ensure the
two fine steam holes on either end of
the frothing attachment are clear. Use
the pin on the cleaning tool to unblock
these holes.
• If the steam wand continues to be
blocked, the tip of the steam wand can
be removed by using the spanner in the
middle of the cleaning tool.
• The group head interior should be wiped
with a damp cloth to remove any ground
coffee particles.
• Wipe the steam wand with a damp
cloth, and then with the steam wand
directed back into the drip tray, briefly
set the Selector Control to the ‘Steam’
position. This will clear any remaining
milk from inside the steam wand.
• Periodically run water through the
machine with the filter holder in place,
but without any ground coffee, to rinse
out any residual coffee particles.
• 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.
