BES860 Fresca Espresso Machina™
Programmable Espresso Machine with Grinder
INTRODUCING THE BREVILLE PROFESSIONAL 800 COLLECTION™ Fresca Espresso Machina™
The quality of freshly ground coffee used in espresso is one of the four most important factors in the preparation of coffee. This attribute is often referred as one of the ‘four hands’ in espresso preparation. The others are the grinder, the espresso machine and the barista.
While the degree and the selection of roast is a personal preference, correctly roasted and rested coffee beans produce espresso with much more taste, flavour and body than coffee that is pre-ground.
Pre-ground coffee deteriorates rapidly and over time produces thin flat coffee that has a light and small amount of crema.
Jason Chan
Melbourne Barista of the Year 2005
With this in mind the Breville Fresca Espresso Machina™ was developed with an integrated, dosing grinder. By dosing only the required amount of coffee, instantly after being ground, the Fresca Espresso Machina™ ensures
all grounds are fresh, for a richer, creamier espresso.

FEATURES OF YOUR BREVILLE PROFESSIONAL 800 COLLECTION™ Fresca Espresso Machina™
Integrated Conical Burr Grinder
The integrated conical burr grinder allows each espresso produced from the Fresca
Espresso Machina™ to be created using freshly ground beans - the key to achieving your ideal espresso.
The grinder has been specially designed to combine with the other key features of the Fresca Espresso Machina™.
Adjustable Grind Size
The GRIND SIZE selector allows the fineness/ coarseness of the coffee grind to be accurately adjusted for optimal espresso extraction.
The GRIND SIZE selector adjusts the grinding burrs to either move closer together for a finer grind or further apart for a coarser grind.
Refer to ‘A Lifetime of Experimentation’ on page 34.
Preset Grind Dosing – Single or Double cup dose
The preset grind dosing feature automatically dispenses the required amount of ground coffee for either a single or double dose. Accurately adjust the dose quantity to suit the fineness or coarseness of the grind.
The single or double grind doses can be easily increased or decreased by the user to suit personal preference.
Refer to ‘A Lifetime of Experimentation’ on page 34.
FEATURES OF YOUR BREVILLE PROFESSIONAL 800 COLLECTION™ Fresca Espresso Machina™ (continued)
Hands Free, Direct Grinding to Portafilter
The Fresca Espresso Machina™ features an integrated grinding cradle which fully supports the portafilter located below the integrated conical burr grinder. The ‘hands free’ grinding feature allows you to continue with other preparations while the portafilter is being evenly filled with the selected dose of freshly ground coffee.
An integrated micro switch allows the start and stop of the grind function with a simple push on the portafilter.
Place the portafilter into the cradle and simply push the portafilter toward the machine lightly to activate the grind function.
Tamper ‘On Board’
The ‘on board’ tamper assists the user to evenly and accurately tamp freshly ground coffee into the filter basket. The tamper is conveniently located ‘on board’ the machine and can be used both in the ‘on board’ position or whilst removed depending on your preference.

FEATURES OF YOUR BREVILLE PROFESSIONAL 800 COLLECTION™ Fresca Espresso Machina™ (continued)
Accurate Temperature Control
Breville digital technology provides accurate temperature control for a full flavoured espresso.
Dry Puck Feature
The ‘Dry Puck’ feature uses an electronic valve to remove excess water from the ground coffee in the filter basket. This takes place after espresso extraction, whilst the Portafilter is locked into the group head. This results in a desirable ‘dry coffee puck’ which can then be disposed of easily and cleanly.
Programmable Function
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.
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 portafilter.
Ideal Espresso Zone
The gauge needle, when positioned within the middle 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 crema.
FEATURES OF YOUR BREVILLE PROFESSIONAL 800 COLLECTION™ Fresca Espresso Machina™ (continued)
Under Extracted Zone
The gauge needle when positioned within the lower 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 crema 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.
Over Extracted Zone
The gauge needle when positioned within the upper 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 crema 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.
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.

FEATURES OF YOUR BREVILLE PROFESSIONAL 800 COLLECTION™ Fresca Espresso Machina™ (continued)
Advanced Dual Wall CrEma System Filters - ‘A minute to learn’
Advanced Dual Wall Crema System Filter Baskets (one and two cup) are supplied with the Breville Professional 800 Collection™ Fresca Espresso Machina™. The Advanced Dual Wall Crema System Filters are designed to intentionally slow the water flow rate during brewing, allowing you to easily extract your
espresso at the ideal pressure, for the enhanced crema. The filters are suited to both pre-ground vacuum packed coffee and freshly ground coffee on the DUAL WALL setting.
Single Wall Filters – ‘A lifetime of experimentation’
Single Wall Filters (one and two cup) are supplied with the Breville Professional 800 Collection™ Fresca Espresso Machina™.
The single wall filter baskets are designed to be used with freshly ground coffee only. These filters provide no additional slowing of the water flow rate, hence experimentation with the grind size and volume, along with the tamp force, is required to achieve the desired results.
Once the use of these filter baskets has been mastered, they offer a ‘A lifetime of experimentation’ with different grind size, dose amounts and tamping forces to create a variety of espresso styles.
Energy Saving Features
The Breville Professional 800 Collection™ Fresca Espresso Machina™ will enter the ‘Power Save Mode’ if not used for 30 minutes, and will automatically switch off if not used for a further two hours. The ‘Power Save Mode’ uses 50% less power than when the machine is in ‘Stand by’ Mode.
During ‘Power Save Mode’ only the POWER button surround will flash slowly. All other button light surrounds will not be illuminated.
To re-activate the machine during ‘Power Save Mode’ simply press any button except POWER. 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.
To switch off the espresso machine whilst it is in ‘Power Save Mode’, simply press the POWER button once.
