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 the water tank, portafilter, filter baskets, milk jug and drip tray using warm water and a gentle dish washing liquid. Rinse well, then dry thoroughly before reassembling.
NOTE
DO NOT use highly filtered, demineralized or distilled water in this machine. This may affect the taste of the coffee.
NOTE
For replacement water filters, visit the Breville webpage or contact Breville Consumer Support.
NOTE
Replace the water daily. The water tank should be filled with fresh, cold tap water before each use.
Insert the bean hopper into position on top of the machine.
Turn the dial to lock the hopper into place. Fill with fresh coffee beans.
A first use cycle must be completed before the initial use of the machine. The first use cycle rinses the machine and primes the heating system.
To turn the machine off, press the POWER button. Alternatively, the machine has auto-off, if it is not used for 30 minutes.
This machine includes 4 filter baskets; 2 x Single Wall and 2 x Dual Wall.
Single Wall filter baskets should be used when grinding fresh whole coffee beans. They allow you to experiment with grind, dose and tamp to create a more balanced espresso.
Dual Wall filter baskets should be used when using pre-ground coffee. They regulate the pressure and help to optimize the extraction regardless of the grind, dose and tamp pressure or freshness.
Regardless of whether you use Single Wall or Dual Wall filters 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 to a double basket, or vice versa.
The provided filter baskets are designed for:
NOTE
You may need to experiment with how much coffee is dosed 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.
When grinding coffee beans, the grind size should be fine, but not too fine. The grind size will affect the rate at which 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 the 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.
This machine has 30 grind settings to select from, with the size selected displayed on the LCD screen. The default grind size is 15.
When adjusting the grind size, a bar will display on the LCD indicating a faster or slower pour.
Use the GRIND SIZE selector on the left side of the machine to adjust the grind size.
NOTE
The default grind times are 9.5 seconds for a 1 cup filter and 13 seconds for a 2 cup filter.
NOTE
It is normal for the portafilter to appear overfilled with ground coffee.
To manually dose the coffee, press and hold the portafilter in the grinding cradle until the desired amount of ground coffee has been dosed. To stop grinding, release the portafilter. The timer will count up, displaying the grind time.
NOTE
As a guide, the top edge of the cap on the tamper should be level with the top of the filter basket AFTER the coffee has been tamped.
• After tamping, remove the dosing funnel from the portafilter.
NOTE
We recommend quality 100% Arabica beans with a 'Roasted On' date stamped on the bags, 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 and taste bitter and watery.
The Razor™ precision dose trimming tool allows you to trim the puck to the right level for a consistent extraction.
Before placing the portafilter into the group head, run a short flow of water through the group head by pressing the 1 CUP button. This will stabilize the temperature prior to extraction and preheat the portafilter for a consistent shot temperature.
NOTE
DO NOT insert the portafilter with the dosing funnel in the group-head.
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 centre until firm resistance is felt.
CORRECT EXTRACTION
AFTER EXTRACTION
REMOVE USED GRINDS
Used grinds will form a coffee 'puck'. If the puck is wet, refer to the 'Under Extraction' section.
RINSE FILTER BASKET
Keep the lter basket clean to prevent blockages. Without ground coffee in the lter basket, lock the porta lter into the machine and run hot water through.
UNDER EXTRACTION
SOLUTIONS
Tamp using 22-33lb of pressure. The top edge of metal cap on the tamper should be level with the top of the lter basket AFTER tamping. Remove the dosing funnel from the porta lter then trim the puck to the right level using the Razor ™ precision dose trimming tool.
OVER EXTRACTION
SOLUTIONS
Tamp using 22-33lb of pressure. The top edge of metal cap on the tamper should be level with the top of the lter basket AFTER tamping. Remove the dosing funnel from the porta lter then trim the puck to the right level using the Razor ™ precision dose trimming tool.
GRIND | GRIND DOSE | TAMP | |

The machine will automatically stop once the pre-set volume has been extracted.
Press and hold the 1 CUP or 2 CUP button for the desired pre-infusion time. Release the button to commence the extraction. Press the flashing button to stop the extraction.
The hot water function can be used to pre-heat cups or to add hot water manually. To activate the hot water, turn the STEAM dial to .
It is recommended to momentarily purge the steam wand prior to texturing milk.
Position the steam wand over the drip tray and turn the STEAM dial to the . The LCD will display STEAM when activated. Turn the STEAM dial back to a vertical position to stop steaming.
Different brands and types of milk and milk alternatives will texture differently.
Pressurized steam can still be released, even after machine has been switched off.
Children must always be supervised.
NOTE
Ensure the STEAM dial is in the vertical position before removing the steam wand from the milk jug.
NOTE
When the machine creates steam, a pumping noise can be heard. This is normal operation.
NOTE
Use only the supplied stainless steel milk jug to froth milk using this machine. The use of other containers may lead to dangerous conditions.
After texturing milk, it is recommended to purge the steam wand. With the steam wand positioned over the drip tray and turn the STEAM dial to the , and allow the machine to purge. Turn the STEAM dial back to a vertical position to stop steaming.
Some types of coffee may require a wider grind range to achieve an ideal extraction or brew. A feature of your Barista Pro™ is the ability to extend this range with an adjustable upper burr. We recommend making only one adjustment at a time.
To prevent damage to the appliance, do not use alkaline cleaning agents when cleaning, use a soft cloth and mild detergent.
The water filter provided helps to prevent scale build up which over time can affect the performance of your machine. Replacing the water filter every 2 months will reduce the need to de-scale the machine.
If you live in a hard water area, we recommend changing the water filter more frequently.
NOTE
Replacement water filters can be purchased from the Breville website or by contacting Breville Consumer Support.
The LCD will display a FLUSH alert when a cleaning cycle is required. The cleaning cycle is separate from descaling.
NOTE
Ensure that the water filter is removed from the water tank before adding the descaling powder when descaling the machine.
After regular use, hard water can cause mineral build up in and on many of the inner functioning components, reducing the brewing flow, brewing temperature, power of the machine, and the taste of the espresso. The LCD will display a DESCALE alert, when a descaling cycle is required.
This grinder cleaning cycle removes oil build-up on the burrs which can impede performance.
This step is only required if there is a blockage between the grinding burrs and the grinder outlet.
Care should be taken as the grinder burrs are extremely sharp.
NOTE
All parts should be cleaned by hand using warm water and a gentle dish washing liquid. Do not use abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which can scratch the surface. Do not clean any of the parts or accessories in the dishwasher.
Do not immerse the power cord, power plug or appliance in water or any other liquid.
Wipe the outer housing with a soft, damp cloth and then polish with a soft, dry cloth.
Before storing, press the POWER button to turn the machine off then remove the plug from the power outlet. Remove unused beans from the hopper, clean the grinder, empty the water tank and the drip tray. Ensure the machine is cool, clean and dry. Place accessories in the storage tray.
Store the machine upright and do not store anything on top.
If your machine displays on the LCD, contact Breville Consumer Support.
