OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE Café roma espresso machine
Before Using your Espresso Machine
Wash the filter holder and the stainless steel filters in mild detergent and water.
Rinse thoroughly.
Filling The Water Tank
1.Ensure the Power switch is set to the ‘OFF’ position and the Selector Control is set to the ‘STAND BY’ position.
2.Ensure the appliance is unplugged from the power outlet.
3.Lift up the water tank lid and remove the water tank. Fill with cold water to the maximum mark and replace in the machine, pressing down firmly. Close the water tank lid.
NOTE:
The water tank should be filled with fresh cold water before use. Check water level before use and replace the water daily.
Do not use mineral or distilled water.
Pre-Heating the Machine
For optimal créma, it is recommended to carry out a complete brewing operation with water but without any espresso grinds before making your first espresso. This is to ensure that the machine.
1.Make sure the Selector Control is in the ‘STAND BY’ position.
2.Plug the power cord into a 120V electrical outlet. Set the power switch to the ‘ON’ position.
3.As soon as the orange ‘HEATING’ light turns off, set the Selector Control to the ‘ESPRESSO’ position and run a small amount of water through the brewing head for a few seconds without the filter holder in place.
Pre-Warming Cups
For optimal espresso temperature, pre-warm the espresso cups by placing them on the cup warming plate.
Tips on Making the Perfect Espresso
Don’t just rely on your espresso maker to do all the work. Making a good cup of espresso is an art.
Water Flow
If you’re making an espresso, make sure the water flows through the espresso filter at the correct rate. If it’s too slow, the espresso will be over-extracted - too dark and bitter, with a mottled and uneven créma on top. If it flows too quickly, the espresso will be under extracted - the proper flavor won’t have had time
to develop.
You can adjust the water flow by tamping (pressing down) the espresso grind firmly or by changing the grind of the espresso. See below for tips:
The Coffee Beans
It is recommended to grind the beans just before extraction. Ground espresso can keep its flavor, for a very long time if it is stored in an air tight container placed in a freezer.
The Grind
1.If using pre-ground espresso, ensure you purchase an espresso grind for espresso/cappuccino machines.
2.If grinding your own beans the coffee must be ground fine, but not too fine. It can affect the taste and the rate the water flows through it.

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE Café roma espresso machine
NOTE:
The perfect espresso grind feels like fine sand. When rubbed between your fingertips, it will slightly stain them while keeping its granular consistency.
3.If the grind is too fine, the water will not flow through the espresso even under pressure (this grind looks like
powder and feels like flour when rubbed between fingers).
4.If the grind is too coarse, water will pass through the grinds too quickly, resulting in espresso that is under-extracted and lacking flavor.
NOTE:
The perfect espresso grind will produce a layer of crema that floats on top of the espresso following extraction.
Preparing the Espresso
1.Place the 1 or 2 cup filter into the filter holder (use the smaller filter for 1 cup / 1oz and the larger filter for 2 cups / 2oz or 2 singles at the same time). When brewing for a mug of coffee always use the 2 cup filter and only extract 2 oz. If you require a larger coffee, add the hot water first and then brew the espresso.
2.Use 1 level measure of ground espresso coffee for the 1 cup filter and 2 level measures for the 2 cup filter. It is important to use the correct amount
of ground espresso for each filter as the filter perforations have been constructed to utilize the pressure in the machine to extract optimal flavor with each extraction.
3.Distribute the espresso grinds evenly and press it lightly with the bottom of the measuring spoon (if there is too much espresso grind, the flow of water can become blocked
4.Clean any excess espresso grinds from the rim of the filter holder to ensure a proper fit under the brew head.
5.Place the filter holder underneath the brew head so that the handle is
positioned to the left of center. Lift the filter holder until it contacts the brew head and slowly rotate to the right. This will lock it in place.

Brewing Espresso
1.Make sure the Selector Control is in the ‘STAND BY’ position.
2.Plug the power cord into a 120V electrical outlet. Set the power switch to the ‘ON’ position.
3.As soon as the orange ‘HEATING’ light turns off, the machine is heated up.
4.Make sure the drip tray is in place.
5.Place one or two pre-heated cups beneath the filter holder. When brewing into two cups at the same time, no more than 1oz should be extracted into either cup.
6.Set the selector control to the ‘ESPRESSO’ position.
7.After a few seconds, aromatic espresso will begin to run through.
8.When sufficient espresso has flowed into the cups, set the selector control to the ‘STAND BY’ position. This will stop the flow of espresso.
9.If you do not need to use the steam function, set the power switch to the ‘STAND BY’ position, unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool.
10.Remove the filter holder from the brew head and turn the filter holder upside down to empty the used espresso (used espresso grounds should be thrown away with domestic waste and not down the sink which may block drains). Rinse the filter and filter holder with water and allow to dry.
NOTE:
The machine remains ready for brewing and maintains a constant heating temperature as long as the Power switch is left in the ‘On’ position. If the temperature should drop, the orange control light
will illuminate and the heater will automatically heat up to the correct brewing temperature.
Preparing Espresso Pods
Your Café Roma can be used with most leading brands of espresso pods. To prepare the pod for brewing, place the pod in the pod filter and ensure that all of the pod’s surface area is fitted inside the filter. If the edges of the pod overflow the filter, you will need to trim them off until the pod is fully contained within the filter. Lock the filter holder in place and brew the espresso as per the instructions on page 10.
NOTE:
The underside of the Pod filter is marked 'POD' for easy identification.
NOTE:
The quality of the espresso and créma produced will be dependent on the type of pod used. Only
use the pod filter when using the espresso pods.

How to Froth Milk for a Cappuccino or Latte
The Breville Café Roma comes complete with a steam wand.
The first step in making a cappuccino or latté is to make a short espresso (see "Brewing Coffee"), then:
1.Fill the stainless steel frothing jug ½ full with cold milk.
2.When the orange 'HEATING' light has turned off, quickly insert the steam wand into the jug of the milk so that the tip of the Steam Wand is just immersed into the milk.
3.Set the Selector Control to the ‘STEAM’ position.
4.Hold the frothing jug at an angle so that the tip of the Steam Wand sits just below the surface of the heating milk.
The steam will move the milk around the inside of the jug in a circular motion.
5.When the milk has begun to increase in volume, immerse the Froth Enhancer deeper into the jug to further heat the milk.
6.The amount of froth desired may vary by individual. The stainless steel frothing jug will gradually become hot; be sure to hold the handle or use a towel to avoid a hot jug. When the base of the jug becomes too hot to touch, switch the Selector Control to the ‘OFF’ position to stop the steaming function before removing the jug. This will ensure that you don’t burn the milk.
7.Add the steamed milk to each cup of freshly brewed espresso coffee and spoon on the frothed milk in the following ratios:
Cappuccino - ½ espresso, ½ steamed milk, ½ frothed milk.
Latte - ½ espresso topped with steamed milk and approximately 4" (10cm) of frothed milk (traditionally served in a glass).
NOTE:
For best results use fresh cold milk (light milk will froth easier).
Always clean the steam wand after every use (refer to care and cleaning).
If brewing more coffee straight after using the steam function, set the selector control to the ‘espresso’ position to run a small amount of water through the brewing head for a few seconds without the filter holder in place. This will prepare the system for optimal brewing temperature.
THE METAL PARTS OF THE FILTER HOLDER MIGHT STILL BE VERY HOT. COOL DOWN THESE PARTS BY RUNNING UNDER COLD WATER.
TO AVOID SPLATTERING OF HOT MILK, DO NOT LIFT THE STEAM NOZZLE ABOVE THE SURFACE OF THE MILK WHILE FROTHING.
ENSURE THE SELECTOR CONTROL IS IN THE ‘STAND BY’ POSITION BEFORE REMOVING THE FROTHING JUG.
