• Store filter cartridges in a dry place in the original packaging.
• Protect cartridges from heat and direct sunlight.
• Do not use damaged filter cartridges.
• Do not open filter cartridges.
• If you are absent for a prolonged period of time, empty the water tank and replace the cartridge.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
Your Breville appliance is fitted with a short power cord to reduce personal injury or property damage resulting from pulling, tripping or becoming entangled with a longer cord. Longer detachable power cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised. If an extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter-top or table where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally and (3) the extension cord must include a 3-prong grounding plug.

BEFORE FIRST USE
Machine Preparation
Remove and discard all labels and packaging materials attached to your espresso machine. Ensure you have removed all parts and accessories before discarding the packaging.
Remove the packaging and the plastics bags containing the water filter and water filter holder. Clean parts and accessories (water tank, portafilter, filter basket, jug) using warm water and a gentle dish washing liquid. Rinse well then dry thoroughly.
INSTALLING THE WATER FILTER
• Remove the water filter and water filter holder from the plastic bag.
• Soak the filter in cold water for 5 minutes.
• Wash the filter holder with cold water.
• Set the reminder for next month of replacement. We recommend to replace the filter after 3 months.
• Insert the filter into the two parts of the filter holder.
• To install the assembled filter holder into the water tank, align the base of the filter holder with the adapter inside the water tank. Push down to lock into place.
• Fill the water tank with cold water before sliding back into position at the back of the machine and locking into place.
NOTE
Replacing the water filter after three months or 10.6 USgal / 40L will reduce the need to descale the machine. Filter can be purchased at Breville webpage.
NOTE
DO NOT use highly filtered, demineralised or distilled water in this machine. This may affect the taste of the coffee.
FIRST USE
1. Press POWER button to turn the machine on.
2. Follow the instructions on screen to guide you through first use setup.

and go to the Drinks Menu or
NOTE
If your water hardness is either 4 or 5 when tested, we strongly recommend you change to an alternate water source.
Filtered, bottled spring or mineral water will extend both the life of your built-in filter and descale intervals as well as superior taste. Please ensure to test the water hardness of the alternative water source you've chosen and input into the machine accordingly. Avoid using overly filtered water, like RO water unless some mineral content is being added back to the final water. Never use distilled water, or water with no or low mineral content as this will affect both the taste.
GRINDING OPERATION
Insert bean hopper into position on-top of the machine. Turn dial to lock into place. Fill hopper with fresh beans.
TIP
We recommend 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. Stale coffee may pour too quickly from the portafilter spouts and taste bitter and watery.

Selecting Your Filter Basket
Choose and insert the Filter Basket into the Portafilter for the number of coffees or strength you are making. Use the Single Cup Filter Basket for making a single cup or a weaker tasting espresso. Use the Double Cup Filter Basket for making 2 cups or a stronger tasting espresso, usually for mugs or larger cups. See 'TIPS' for more detailed guide.
In the touchscreen, select the chosen filter basket by touching the toggle option under the 'Grind' button.
The grind size will affect the rate of water flow through the coffee in the filter basket and the flavor of the espresso. When setting the grind size, it should be fine but not too fine and powdery. When trying a new coffee, it may take 2 or 3 tries to identify the correct grind size for your coffee.
There are numbered settings on the touchscreen. The smaller the number, the finer the grind size. The larger the number, the coarser the grind size.
Automatic Dosing
• Ensure the hopper is locked into position and
is filled with fresh coffee beans.
• Ensure the filter basket is completely dry
before placing the portafilter into the grinding cradle.
• Touch the 'Grind' button once, or push and
release the portafilter to engage the grinding activation switch. Then allow fresh ground coffee to fill the portafilter.
• Grinding will automatically stop, however if
you wish to stop grinding before the cycle has finished, push and release the portafilter.
NOTE
It is normal for the portafilter to appear overfilled with ground coffee.
Manual Dosing
• If you prefer to manually dose, with the portafilter inserted in the grinding cradle, push and hold the portafilter to engage the grinding activation switch. Continue holding until the desired amount of ground coffee has been dosed.
• To stop grinding, release the portafilter. This will release the grinding activation switch and stop the grinding function.
Tamping the Ground Coffee
• Once grinding is complete, carefully withdraw the portafilter from the grinding cradle.
• Tap the portafilter several times to collapse and distribute the coffee evenly in the filter basket.
• Tamp down firmly using approx. 30–40lbs (15–20kgs) of pressure. The amount of pressure is not as important as 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.
Trimming the Dose
The Razor™ precision dose trimming tool allows you to trim the puck to the right level for a consistent extraction.

• For optimal flavor when using a 1 CUP filter basket, you should extract approx. 1oz / 30ml. When using a 2 CUP filter basket, you should extract approx. 2oz / 60ml.
TEXTURING MILK
Different brands and types of milk and milk alternatives will texture differently. You may need to adjust the froth level accordingly. Start with fresh cold milk. Fill milk jug to below the spout position. Lift steam wand and insert into milk jug. Lower steam wand, ensuring it is fully down. The milk jug should rest on the milk temperature sensor located on the drip tray and milk should cover the ring around steam wand tip. The toggle button under the 'Milk' button will show you whether you placed the milk jug correctly.

Tips
PRE-HEATING
Heating your cup or glass
A warm cup will help maintain the coffee’s optimal temperature. Pre-heat your cup by rinsing with hot water from the hot water outlet 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. Always ensure the portafilter and filter basket are pre-heated with hot water from the hot water outlet before initial use.
NOTE
Always wipe the portafilter and filter basket dry before dosing with ground coffee as moisture can encourage ‘channeling’ where waterby­passes the ground coffee during extraction.
SELECTING A FILTER BASKET
Single Wall Filter Baskets
Use Single Wall filter baskets if grinding fresh whole coffee beans.
Single Wall filter baskets allow you to experiment with grind, dose and tamp to create a more balanced espresso.
Dual Wall Filter Baskets
Use Dual Wall filter baskets if using pre-ground coffee.
Dual Wall filter baskets regulate the pressure and help to optimize the extraction regardless of the grind, dose, tamp pressure or freshness.
1 CUP 2 CUP
NOTE
• Regardless of whether you use Single Wall or Dual Wall filter baskets, use the 1 CUP basket when brewing a single cup and the 2 CUP basket when brewing two cups or a stronger single cup or mug.
• You will need to adjust the grind amount and size if switching from a single basket to a double basket, or vice versa.
The provided filter baskets are designed for: 1 CUP basket = approx. 8–10g. 2 CUP basket = approx. 15–18g.

NOTE
You may need to experiment with how much coffee is inserted into the filter basket or how long the grinder needs to run to achieve the correct dose. For example, when using a finer espresso grind with the Single Wall filter baskets, you may need to increase the grind amount to ensure the filter basket is correctly dosed.
THE GRIND
LOCK TIGHT

Grind

Grind
15s
If 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 even when under pressure. The resulting espresso will be OVER EXTRACTED, dark in color and bitter in flavor.
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 and lacking in color and flavor.
EXTRACTING ESPRESSO
• Place pre-warmed cup(s) beneath the portafilter and touch the 'Brew' button for the desired volume.
• Due to pre-infusion time, the espresso will not start to flow immediately.
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, dose of ground coffee, and tamping pressure.
Experiment by adjusting these factors just one at a time to achieve the taste of your preference.
