PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTION

The Die-Cast Programmable Espresso Machine offers a convenient choice between preset shot sizes (1oz or 2oz), manual function (over-rides preset shot size for one time only) or a programmable function that reprograms the preset shot sizes with the user’s preferred shot size.

ESPRESSO PRESSURE GAUGE

The espresso pressure gauge assists in obtaining the most favorable 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 espresso in the portaﬁ lter. The ideal position of the gauge needle is anywhere within the ESPRESSO RANGE. Refer to the Extraction Guide (page 30) for tips on how to achieve the most favorable extraction.

NOTE: While the Pressure Gauge is a great guide to the quality of the extraction, the best indicator is the look and taste of the espresso.

HOT WATER WAND

The dedicated hot water wand is ideal for making your favorite hot drinks. For convenient use the wand has a commercial style 360° ball joint.

COMMERCIAL STYLE STEAM WAND

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.

"NON-PRESSURIZED" SINGLE WALL FILTERS FOR ASPIRING BARISTAS

Experiment with grind size, grind amount and tamp.

These ﬁ lters are suited to both pre-ground vacuum packed espresso as well as freshly ground beans. A great espresso is a balance of main ﬂ avor elements: acidity, aroma, bitterness, body, nuttiness, and sharpness. By using the Single Wall Filters you are free to explore the world of espresso by adjusting grind, grind amount and tamp to extract a rich variety of ﬂ avors.

STEP 1 - FILLING THE WATER TANK

• Ensure the Power is off and the Selector

Control, on the side of the machine, is set to the “Stand By” position.

• Unplug the power cord from the

power outlet.

• Remove the portaﬁ lter if locked into the

group head and move the steam wand to the side of the machine.

• Remove the water tank by sliding out

using the handle insert in the front of the water tank.

• As the water tank is removed, a black

tube slides and extends out from the water tank storage area. Do not touch or try to remove this tube, it will automatically slide back into position when the water tank is re inserted.

• Fill the water tank with cold, tap water to

the maximum mark on the water window

and slide the water tank carefully back into position in the machine.

• Ensure the Selector Control is in the

“Stand By” position and plug the power cord into a 110/120V power outlet.

• Press the POWER button to ‘On’, the

POWER button surround will ﬂ ash while the machine is heating. When the correct temperature has been reached, all the button surrounds on the control panel will illuminate.

NOTE: Check the water level before use and replace the water daily. The water tank should be reﬁ lled with fresh, cold tap water before each use. Do not use mineral or distilled water or any other liquid.

STEP 2 - PRE-WARMING THE CUPS

This will help maintain the espresso’s optimal temperature when brewed into the cups. The Cup Warming Plate will start to warm as the machine heats.

Run hot water from the group head without the portaﬁ lter inserted by holding down the single shot button on the front, right hand side of the machine, then place the cups on the warming tray.

PERFECTING YOUR SKILLS - "NON-PRESSURIZED" SINGLE WALL FILTERS PERFECTING YOUR SKILLS - "NON-PRESSURIZED" SINGLE WALL FILTERS

STEP 3 - PREPARING THE SINGLE WALL FILTER

• Place the single or double shot Single

Wall Filter into the portaﬁ lter. When brewing into a larger mug, always use the double shot ﬁ lter and only extract 2oz. If you require a larger serving, add the hot water ﬁ rst and then extract the espresso.

• Preheat the portaﬁ lter by placing

underneath the group head. Rinse with hot water from the group head by holding down the double shot button on the front, right hand side of the machine. Dry the portaﬁ lter thoroughly before use.

Unlike the Dual Wall Filters, the Single Wall Filters have no markings on the underside of the ﬁ lter

(refer to page 8).

STEP 4 - GRIND SIZE & AMOUNT

When selecting the grind size it should be ﬁ ne but not too ﬁ ne or powdery. The grind will effect the rate at which the water ﬂ ows through the ground espresso in the ﬁ lter and therefore the taste of the espresso.

If the grind is too ﬁ ne (looks like powder and feels like ﬂ our when rubbed between ﬁ ngers), the water will not ﬂ ow through the ground espresso even when under pressure. The resulting espresso will be over extracted, too dark and bitter, with a mottled and uneven crema on top.

If the grind is too coarse the water will ﬂ ow through the ground espresso too quickly. This will result in an under-extracted espresso lacking in ﬂ avor and without the thick crema on the top.

When grinding for a Single Wall Filter using a ﬁ ner espresso grind, you will need to increase the grind amount to ensure the ﬁ lter is correctly ﬁ lled.

STEP 5 - TAMPING THE GROUND ESPRESSO

• Distribute the ground espresso

coffee evenly in the ﬁ lter and press down lightly with the tamping end of the measuring spoon.

Refer to ‘Espresso Making Tips’, page 31

• Clean any excess ground espresso

coffee from the rim of the portaﬁ lter to ensure a proper ﬁ t into the group head.

STEP 6 - PRIMING THE GROUP HEAD

• Before placing the portaﬁ lter into position,

it is recommended to run a short ﬂ ow of water through the group head.

• Place a container or empty cup under

the group head.

• With the portaﬁ lter removed, prime

the group head by pressing and holding down the single or double cup button for approximately 5 seconds.

Refer to ‘Manual Espresso’, page 24.

A pumping noise will be heard during this operation, and water will run through the group head.

• Use 1 level measure of ground espresso

coffee for the 1 shot ﬁ lter and 2 level measures for the 2 shot ﬁ lter.

Refer to ‘Espresso Making Tips’, page 31.

STEP 7 - INSERTING THE PORTAFILTER

Place the portaﬁ lter underneath the group head so that the handle is aligned with the insert graphic. Insert the portaﬁ lter holder up into the group head and rotate the handle to the right until resistance is felt, this will be at an approximate 90° angle to the machine.

BES830XL_IB_Issue1,09.indd 20-21BES830XL_IB_Issue1,09.indd 20-21 4/1/10 11:02:42 AM4/1/10 11:02:42 AM

STEP 8 - PREPARING FOR EXTRACTION

• Ensure all the button surrounds on the

control panel are illuminated, indicating the machine has reached the correct temperature for extraction, and is ready for use.

• Ensure the drip tray and portaﬁ lter are

in place.

• Place one or two pre-warmed cups

beneath the portaﬁ lter outlet.

PRESET SHOT SIZE - ONE SHOT

Press the one cup button once. A preset extraction of approximately 1 oz of espresso will be delivered. A pumping noise will be heard in this operation. The machine will automatically stop once the preset pour has been delivered.

PRESET SHOT SIZE - DOUBLE SHOT

Press the two cup button once. A preset extraction of approximately 2oz of espresso will be delivered. A pumping noise will be heard in this operation. The machine will automatically stop once the preset pour has been delivered.

NOTE: The minimum pour for one cup

and

two cups

is set at ½ oz (15ml).

NOTE: Pressing the one cup

or two cup

buttons during a programmed

espresso will immediately stop the pour.

PROGRAMMING YOUR BREVILLE DIE-CAST PROGRAMMABLE ESPRESSO MACHINE

NOTE: The amount of espresso extracted in the cup will vary depending on the coarseness of your grind and grind amount.

NOTE: When using a single shot ﬁ lter, for optimal ﬂ avor, you should only extract approximately 1 oz. When using a double shot ﬁ lter, for optimal ﬂ avor, you should only extract approximately 2 oz.

BES830XL_IB_Issue1,09.indd 22-23BES830XL_IB_Issue1,09.indd 22-23 4/1/10 11:02:43 AM4/1/10 11:02:43 AM

• To stop, return the steam dial to the

‘STAND BY’ 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 pump.

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.

PROGRAMMING YOUR BREVILLE DIE-CAST PROGRAMMABLE ESPRESSO MACHINE

RESETTING DEFAULT VOLUMES

To reset the machine to the default one and two cup pour quantities, press and hold the ‘PROGRAM’ button, until the machine beeps three times. Release button. This indicates the machine has returned to its original default settings.

NOTE:

Default settings: one cup pour is approximately 1 oz. Two cups

is approximately 2 oz.

MANUAL ESPRESSO

The Manual function over-rides the preset shot size for one time only. It does not save the shot size like in programming mode.

Press and hold the single

two cup

button. Release the button once sufﬁ cient espresso has ﬂ owed into the cup.

STEP 9 – EMPTYING THE PORTAFILTER

Remove the portaﬁ lter from the group head by rotating the portaﬁ lter to the left until it releases.

To empty the used grounds, turn the portaﬁ lter upside down in a bin and gently knock out the grounds. Used grounds should be thrown away with domestic waste. Discarding of used grounds in a sink can cause drains to become blocked.

With the ﬁ lter still in place, hold the portaﬁ lter underneath the group head,

press and hold down the one cup button to release hot water. Rinse the portaﬁ lter until water runs clear.

Insert the portaﬁ lter back into the group head to dry out and keep warm.

NOTE: PRE-BREW FUNCTION When a single or double coffee is selected, the machine will pump water momentarily, followed by a pause then continues to pump the water through to the ground coffee in the portaﬁ lter. The ground coffee is moistened by a small amount of water before full extraction then expands resulting in greater pressure build-up to extract all the oils and full ﬂ avor from the ground coffee.

NOTE: You may notice that the espresso coffee in the ﬁ lter holder is still wet after extraction. Due to the high water pressure created by the dual-wall ﬁ lter, a small amount of water will remain with the grounds after extraction. This is normal, this is how we get the perfect créma.

WARNING: THE METAL PARTS OF THE

PORTAFILTER MAY STILL BE VERY HOT.

THE ART OF TEXTURING MILK

The Die-Cast Programmable Espresso Machine comes complete with a Commercial Style Swivel Steam Wand and Stainless Steel Frothing Attachment. When using the frothing attachment on the steam wand a large amount of froth is easily created.

If less froth is required, remove the frothing attachment from the steam wand and steam the milk using the steam wand. To remove the frothing attachment, ensure it is cool then simply pull down and remove. The frothing attachment can be stored in the storage tray inside the machine if not used regularly.

To reﬁ t the frothing attachment ensure it is securely attached to the steam wand by inserting it, from either opening, onto the steam wand and pushing ﬁ rmly upwards onto the rubber surround.

• Fill the stainless steel frothing jug

maximum ½ full with cold, fresh milk.

• Turn the Steam selector dial to the

‘Steam’ position. The red steam light will start to ﬂ ash indicating that the machine is heating to create steam.

• When the steam light stops ﬂ ashing it

is ready to use.

• Before inserting the wand into the milk,

pause the steam by returning the dial back to the ‘STAND BY’ position. This will avoid splashing the milk out of the jug (this pause function lasts for 6 seconds before exiting steam mode).

• Insert the wand into the milk and return

the Steam dial back to ‘Steam’.

WARNING: MILK SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN OVER THE TOP OF THE FROTHING

ATTACHMENT, OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. TO AVOID SPLATTERING OF HOT MILK, DO NOT LIFT THE END OF THE FROTHING ATTACHMENT ABOVE THE SURFACE OF THE MILK WHILE FROTHING. ENSURE THE STEAM DIAL IS IN THE ‘STAND BY’ POSITION BEFORE REMOVING THE FROTHING JUG.

There are two phases to texture milk: Stretching the milk to aerate it and swirling the milk to make it silky smooth and the right temperature.

In practice these two operations should blend into one.

NOTE: The espresso machine features a swivel steam wand assembly so the position of the steam wand can be changed to a comfortable angle.

THE ART OF TEXTURING MILK

STEP 1 - STRETCHING THE MILK

Hold the jug so the tip of the steam wand is just below the surface of the milk and with your free hand engage the steam. Every so often lower the jug so the steam wand just breaks the surface of the milk and makes a ‘hissing’ sound.

Stretching the milk will increase the volume, so lower the jug as the milk rises to ensure the tip remains just above the surface of the milk.

STEP 2 - SWIRLING THE MILK

After a short while you will have aerated sufﬁ ciently. At this point, adjust the jug so the steam wand is off-center and create a spinning motion in the milk. Compensate for the angle of the steam wand by slightly tilting the jug away from you, or to one side and at the same time lower the nozzle further into the body of the milk.

Continue swirling until milk is at desired temperature (between 130°F-150°F). Without a thermometer you’ll know the milk is ready when the jug base is ‘just too hot’ to touch.

When you get the balance right the milk should end up forming a ‘meringue-like’ consistency that has a glassy sheen to it. Remove any excess air bubbles by gently knocking the jug against a hard ﬂ at surface and pour the milk down the inside of your chosen cup or glass to make your desired espresso variation.

Lastly, run the Steam function brieﬂ y to remove any residual milk in the steam wand tip. Then give the steam wand a good wipe with a damp cloth.

NOTE: After 5 minutes of continuous steaming, the machine will automatically disable the steam function. The steam and hot water lights will ﬂ ash. When this occurs return the selector control to the ‘Standby’ position.

NOTE: Always ensure that the frothing attachment has been ﬁ rmly 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 33.

NOTE: For extracting more espresso immediately after using the steam function, this machine features an auto-purge function. This ensures that ground espresso will not be burnt by the initial water ﬂ ow from the thermoblock being too hot. Instead this water is automatically released internally into the drip tray ensuring that the internal thermostat is at optimal temperature for extracting espresso. Your espresso will always be extracted at this optimal temperature ensuring only the best ﬂ avored espresso is achieved.

The espresso machine features a separate hot water function that can be used for making tea, hot chocolate and other warm drinks. The hot water is dispensed from the dedicated Hot Water Wand.

Place a jug or cup underneath the Hot Water Wand to collect the hot water.

To use the hot water function, turn the Selector Control to HOT WATER. The hot water light will illuminate when selected.

To turn the hot water off, turn the Selector Control to the ‘Standby’ position.

Limit the extraction of hot water to 67 oz (2 liters) each use.

USING THE HOT WATER FUNCTION

The machine is not designed to make large pots of coffee and tea. The more hot water used at the one time, the cooler it becomes.

NOTE: After 2 minutes of continued hot water use, the machine will automatically disable the hot water function. The steam and hot water lights will ﬂ ash. When this occurs return the selector to the ‘Standby’ position.

Fresh Roasted Beans

Freshly ground, fresh roasted beans are key to making espresso with more flavor and body. Stale beans and preground coffee significantly affect the taste and crema of your finished espresso.

Store Carefully

Store in a dark, cool and dry place. Do not store in the fridge or freezer. Vacuum seal if possible.

Buy in small batches to reduce the storage time.

Crema

Crema is the caramel colored layer that is on top of the espresso following extraction.

Cup size will affect crema depth. The smaller the cup diameter, the thicker the crema.

Pre-Heat & Rinse

Pre-heating the cups and filter before extraction ensures a hot espresso.

Without ground espresso coffee in the filter, lock the Portafilter into the machine and run hot water through.
