FEATURES OF YOUR BREVILLE PROFESSIONAL 800 COLLECTION™ PROGRAMMABLE ESPRESSO MACHINE
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 fi lter holder.

White Zone - Ideal Espresso
The gauge needle when positioned within the
recommended White Zone during pouring
indicates that the espresso will be produced at
the ideal pressure. The brewed espresso should
have a generous layer of fi ne textured and
evenly coloured golden crèma.
Green Zone - Under Extracted
The gauge needle when positioned within the
Green Zone during pouring indicates that the
espresso will be produced with insuffi cient
pressure resulting in an 'under extracted'
espresso. This occurs when the water fl ow
through the ground coffee in the fi lter is too
fast. As a result the optimal fl avour will not be
extracted and the coffee will be watery and lack
thick créma on the top. Possible other causes
for under extraction are: coffee grind is too
coarse and/or insuffi cient coffee in fi lter and/or
under tamping.
Red Zone - Over Extracted
The gauge needle when positioned within
the Red 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 fl ow
through the ground coffee in the fi lter is too
slow. As a result the coffee will be very dark
and bitter, with a mottled and uneven créma on
top. Possible other causes for over extraction
are: ground coffee is too fi ne and/or too much
ground coffee in fi lter and/or over tamping.
Hot Water Wand
The dedicated hot water wand is ideal for
making your favourite hot drinks. For convenient
use the wand has a commercial style 360° ball
joint.
