Espresso Extraction; Manual Override; Purging The Group Head; Inserting The Portafilter - Breville Barista Touch BES880 Instruction Book

• Insert the Razor™ dose trimming tool into
the filter basket until the shoulders of the tool
rest on the rim of the basket. The blade of
the dose trimming tool should penetrate the
surface of the tamped coffee.
• Rotate the Razor™ dose trimming tool back
and forth while holding the portafilter on
an angle over a knock box to trim off excess
coffee grinds. Your filter basket is now dosed
with the correct amount of coffee.
• Wipe excess coffee from the rim of the filter
basket to ensure a proper seal is achieved in
the group head.

Purging the Group Head

Before placing the portafilter into the group
head, run a short flow of water through the
group head by touching the 'Brew' button.
This will 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.
