before extracting, use the Single Wall Filter
Baskets. If using Pre-ground coffee, use
the Dual Wall Filter Baskets. Insert the
correct Filter Basket into the portafilter.
Fill the Filter Basket with ground coffee,
tap down to collapse the coffee, then using
the integrated tamper, tamp down firmly
(approx. 15-20kg of pressure).

It’s important to apply consistent pressure
every time.

• As a guide to dose, the top edge of the

metal cap on the tamper should be level
with the top of the filter basket AFTER
the coffee has been tamped. This will
minimize under or over dosing the
coffee.

• Wipe excess coffee from the rim of the

TEXTURING MILK

The Duo Temp™ Pro is equipped with
a commercial style steam wand.

• Before inserting the steam wand into

the milk, it is recommended to purge
the steam wand.

• Set the Control Dial to ‘Steam’.

• The ‘Steam’ LED will illuminate.

• It may take a few moments before the

steam appears.

• Pause the steam by returning the dial

back to the ‘Standby’ position. This will
avoid the milk splashing out of the jug.

• The Steam will Pause for 8 secs.

• Insert the wand into the milk and set the

Control Dial to the ‘Steam’ position to
texture milk.

• To stop the steam set the Control Dial

to the ‘Standby’ position and remove
the 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.

HOT WATER

The machine features a separate Hot
Water function that dispenses hot water
from the steam wand.

To use the Hot Water function:

• Press the SELECT button and the

Hot Water LED will illuminate.

• Direct the spout outlet towards the

drip tray.

• Turn the Control Dial to ‘Steam’.

• To turn the hot water off, turn the

BES810BSS_USC_IB_C14.indd 17 3/07/2014 10:03 am

COFFEE MAKING TIPS & PREPARATION

PRE-HEATING

Heating your cup or glass

A warm cup will help maintain the coffee’s
optimal temperature. Preheat your cup by
rinsing with hot water and place on the cup
warming tray.

Heating the portafilter and filter basket

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. Wipe the filter and portafilter
dry before dosing with ground coffee as
moisture can encourage channeling
where water by-passes the ground coffee
during extraction.

Single Wall Filter Baskets

The Single Wall filters (1 & 2 CUP) are
designed to be used with freshly ground
coffee and allow you to experiment with
grind, dose, and tamp to create a more
balanced espresso.

Advanced Dual Wall Filter Baskets

The Dual Wall filters (1 & 2 CUP) are
designed to be used with pre-ground coffee
and regulate the pressure to help optimize
extraction and crema regardless of the
grind, dose or tamp pressure.

2 Cup1 Cup

The Dual Wall filters have DUAL WALL
stamped on the underside of the filter.

The Grind

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 color and bitter in flavor.

Coffee Dose and Tamping

grind enough coffee to fill the coffee
basket. You may need to experiment
with the amount of coffee to achieve
the correct dose.

• Tap the portafilter several times to

distribute the coffee evenly in the
filter basket.

COFFEE MAKING TIPS & PREPARATION

PURGING THE GROUP HEAD

Before placing the portafilter into the group
head, run a short flow of water through
the group head, turning the Control Dial
to the ‘Espresso’ position. This will purge
any ground coffee residue from the group
head and stabilize the temperature prior to
extraction.

INSERTING THE PORTAFILTER

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 center until resistance is felt.

EXTRACTING ESPRESSO

• Place pre-warmed cup(s) beneath the

group head and turn the Control Dial to
the ‘Espresso’ position until the required
volume is reached.

• As a guide, the espresso should start to

flow after 8-10 seconds (infusion time)
and should be the consistency of
pouring honey.

• If the espresso starts to flow before

6 seconds you have either under dosed
the filter basket and/or the grind is too
coarse. This is an UNDER EXTRACTED
shot.

• If the espresso starts to drip but doesn’t

flow after 15 seconds, you have either
over dosed the filter basket and/or
the grind is too fine. This is an
OVER EXTRACTED shot.

• A great espresso is about achieving

the perfect balance between sweetness,
acidity and bitterness.

• The flavor 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 and
dose of ground coffee.

• Experimenting by adjusting these

factors just one at a time can help to
achieve the taste of your preference.

TEXTURING MILK

There are two phases to texturing milk. The
first is stretching the milk to aerate it and the
second is swirling the milk to make it silky
smooth. These two operations should blend
into one.

• Always start with fresh cold milk.

• Fill the jug just below the V at the

bottom of the spout.

• Position the steam tip over the drip tray

and turn the Control Dial to ‘Steam’
position, purging any condensed water.

• Turn the Control Dial to ‘Standby’

position to pause the steam, insert
steam wand tip into milk and turn dial to
‘Steam’ position.

• Insert the steam tip 1-2cm below the

surface close to the right hand side of
the jug at the 3 o’clock position.

• Keep the tip just under the surface

until the milk is spinning clockwise,
producing a vortex (whirlpool effect).

20

BES810BSS_USC_IB_C14.indd 20 3/07/2014 10:03 am

COFFEE MAKING TIPS & PREPARATION

• With the milk spinning, slowly lower the

jug. This will bring the steam tip to the
surface of the milk and start to introduce
air into the milk. You may have to gently
break the surface of the milk with the tip
to get the milk spinning fast enough.

• Keep the tip at or slightly below the

surface, continuing to maintain the
vortex. Texture the milk until sufficient
volume is obtained.

• Lower the tip beneath the surface,

but keep the vortex of milk spinning.
The milk is at the correct temperature
140-150°F or 60-65°C when the jug is
hot to touch.

• Turn the Control Dial to the ‘Standby’

position before taking the tip out of
the milk.

• Set the jug to one side, turn steam on

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 integrate

the texture.

• Pour milk directly into the espresso.

• The key is to work quickly, before the

milk begins to separate.

BEAN FRESHNESS

Breville recommends quality 100% Arabica
beans with a ‘Roasted On’ date stamped on
the bag, not a ‘Best Before’ or ‘Use By’ date.

Coffee beans are best consumed between
5-20 days after the ‘Roasted On’ date.

Store coffee beans in an airtight container.
Vacuum seal if possible. Grind immediately
before brewing as ground coffee quickly
loses its flavor and aroma.
