ESPRESSO PRESSURE GAUGE
OvER ExTRACTEd ZONE
The gauge needle, when positioned in the
upper zone during extraction, indicates the
espresso has been extracted with too much
pressure. This occurs when the water flow
through the ground coffee is too slow and
results in an over extracted espresso that
is very dark and bitter with a mottled and
uneven crema.
•
Position the steam tip over the drip tray.
Turn the STEAM selector dial to the
steam position. The white steam light
will flash to indicate the machine is
heating to create steam.
When the steam light stops flashing the
steam wand is ready for use.
Before inserting the wand into the milk,
pause the steam by returning the dial
back to the STANDBy position. This will
avoid the milk splashing out of the jug
(this pause function lasts for approx
8 seconds before exiting steam mode).
Insert the wand into the milk and turn
the steam dial from Standby to the
Steam position to begin texturing.
Turn the STEAM/HOT WATER selector dial
to the hot water position. The white steam
light will flash to indicate the machine is
heating to create hot water.
When the steam light stops flashing, the hot
water is up to temperature.
IdEAL ESPRESSO ZONE
The gauge needle, when positioned in
the middle zone during extraction,
indicates the espresso will be extracted at
the ideal pressure.
•
•
To stop the flow of hot water, return the
steam dial back to the STANDBy position.
Causes for over extraction include the
grind being too fine and/or too much
ground coffee in filter basket.
AUTO PURGE
For extracting espresso immediately after
using the steam function, this machine
features an auto-purge function.
The auto purge function ensures the
ground coffee will not be burnt by the
initial water flow from the thermocoil being
too hot. The water is automatically released
internally into the drip tray ensuring that
the thermocoil is at optimal temperature
for extracting espresso.
•
•
To stop, return the STEAM dial to the
STANDBy position and remove the jug.
UNdER ExTRACTEd ZONE
The gauge needle, when positioned in the
lower zone during extraction, indicates
the espresso has been extracted with
insufficient pressure. This occurs when
the water flow through the ground coffee is
too fast and results in an under extracted
espresso that is watery and lacks crema
and flavour.
your espresso will always be extracted at
the optimal temperature ensuring only the
best flavours are extracted.
TExTURING MILK
The Breville Barista Express™ comes
complete with a commercial style 360˚
stainless steel steam wand.
Causes for under extraction include the grind
being too coarse and/or insufficient coffee in
filter basket and/or under tamping.
WARNING
Ensure the STEAM DIAL is in the
STANDBY position before removing
the steam wand from the frothing jug.
NOTE
When the espresso machine creates
steam, a pumping noise can be heard.
This is the normal operation of the
15 bar Italian pump.

THE GRINd
Heating the portafilter and filter basket
When grinding coffee beans, 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 when under pressure. The resulting
espresso will be OVER EXTRACTED, dark
in colour and bitter in flavour
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
colour and flavour.
A cold portafilter and filter basket can
reduce the extraction temperature enough
to significantly affect the quality of your
espresso. Ensure the portafilter and filter
basket are preheated with hot water before
initial use.
NOTE
Wipe the filter and filter holder dry
before dosing with ground coffee as
moisture can encourage ‘channeling’
where water by-passes the ground
coffee during extraction.

COFFEE MAKING TIPS & PREPARATION
PURGING THE GROUP HEAd TExTURING MILK
There are two phases to texturing milk,
stretching & heating. These two operations
should blend into one with the goal being
silky smooth textured milk at the correct
temperature.
•
Before placing the portafilter into the
group head, run a short flow of water
through the group head by pressing
the 1 CUP button. This will purge any
ground coffee residue from the group
head and stabilise the temperature prior
to extraction.
•
•
Wipe coffee basket with a dry cloth.
•
Insert the Razor™ dosing tool into the
coffee basket until the shoulders of the
tool rest on the rim of the basket. The
blade of the dosing tool should penetrate
the surface of the tamped coffee.
Using Single Wall filter baskets, grind
enough coffee to fill the coffee basket.
you may need to experiment with the
GRIND AMOUNT dial to achieve the
correct dose.
•
•
Always start with fresh cold milk.
•
Rotate the Razor™ dosing tool back and
forth while holding the portafilter on
an angle over the knock box to trim off
excess coffee grinds. your coffee filter
basket is now dosed with the correct
amount of coffee.
Fill the jug just below the 'V' at the
bottom of the spout.
•
•
Tap the portafilter several times to
collapse and distribute the coffee evenly
in the filter basket.
INSERTING THE PORTAFILTER
•
Position the steam tip over the drip tray
and turn the STEAM/HOT WATER dial
from STANDBy to steam and wait until
the steam is flowing strongly.
Place the portafilter underneath the group
head so that the handle is aligned with
the INSERT position. Insert the portafilter
into the group head and rotate the handle
towards the centre until resistance is felt.
Tamp down firmly (using approx.
15–20kgs of pressure). The amount
of pressure is not as important as
consistent pressure every time.
•
Turn the steam dial to the STANDBy
position to pause the steam, then within
8 seconds, insert steam wand tip into
milk and turn dial back to STEAM
position.
ExTRACTING ESPRESSO
•
Place pre-warmed cup(s) beneath the
portafilter and press the 1 CUP or
2 CUP button for the required volume.
As a guide, the espresso will start
to flow after 4–8 seconds (infusion
time) and should be the consistency
of dripping honey.
•
•
Insert the steam tip 1–2cm below
the surface of the milk close to the
right hand side of the jug at the
3 o’clock position.
•
Keep the tip just under the surface of the
milk until the milk is spinning clockwise,
producing a vortex (whirlpool effect).
•
Wipe excess coffee from the rim of the
filter basket to ensure a proper seal is
achieved in the group head.
•
•
If the espresso starts to flow after less
than 3 seconds you have either under

grind is too coarse. This is an

NOTE
If the espresso starts to drip but doesn’t
flow after 10 seconds, then you have
either over dosed the filter basket
and/or the grind is too fine. This is an
OVER-EXTRACTED shot.
If the extraction is too fast, make the
grind finer & repeat above steps.
If the extraction is too slow, make the
grind coarser and repeat above steps.
A great espresso is about achieving the
perfect balance between sweetness, acidity
and bitterness.
The flavour 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, dose of ground
coffee, and tamping pressure.

to purge out any residual milk from the
steam wand and wipe steam wand with
a damp cloth.
•
•
Tap the jug on the bench 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.
HINTS & TIPS
•
Always use freshly ground coffee
for a superior flavour and body.
•
Use freshly roasted coffee beans,
with a ‘roasted on’ date and use
within 2 weeks of ‘roasted on’ date.
•
•
Store coffee beans in a cool,
dark and dry container. Vacuum
sealed if possible.
Buy coffee beans in small batches
to reduce the storage time and store
no more than one weeks supply at
any time.
•
Grind beans immediately before
brewing as ground coffee quickly
loses its flavour and aroma.

The water filter provided helps to prevent
scale build up which over time can affect the
performance of your machine, potentially
causing blockages and heating, problems
Replacing the water filter every two months
will reduce the need to de-scale the machine.
If you live in a hard water area, we
recommend you change the water filter
more frequently.
