FILLING THE TANKS
Water Tank: Fill the water tank with cold tap water only. You can fill the water tank using a jug or remove it
and fill it under the tap. Never fill it above the MAX mark. Close the lid after filling and place the tank tightly
back in its place.
Milk Tank: If you are making Cappuccino or Latte you will need to fill the milk tank. Pull the tank out of the
unit (fig. G). The tank is a tight fit and may need a strong pull. Pour milk into the tank without exceeding the
MAX mark. It's best to add only as much milk as you think you'll need. Always use chilled milk as this will
create the best froth.
Refit the tank pushing it firmly into place. The milk tank is a tight fit and you will have to hold the main unit in
order to apply sufficent force to push it all the way in. The Cappuccino button and Latte button lights will
only come on when the milk tank is correctly fitted.
You can store unused milk directly in the milk tank by removing it and putting it in the refrigerator.
Alternatively, dispose of any unused milk and clean the tank after use.
USING THE FILTER HOLDER
Selecting and fitting a filter
PrimaLatte™ is supplied with three filters single shot, double shot and pod for Easy Serving
Your Breville

Espresso (ESE) pods. The double shot filter can be used for a double shot or for two single shots. The pod
filter is designed to be used only with 45 mm pods.
Fit the filter by lining up the dimple moulded on the edge of the filter with the slot in the filter holder (fig. H).
Rotate the filter slightly to the left or right to stop the filter from falling out (fig. I).
To remove the filter, rotate the filter to realign the dimple with the notch then lift the filter out.
Filling the filter holder
Make sure that the filter and filter holder are completely dry. Fill the filter with fresh ground coffee using the
measuring scoop (fig. J). Use a single scoop for a single shot or two scoops for a double shot. Use the flat
end of the scoop to tamp (compress) the coffee firmly and evenly (fig. K). The coffee should be approximately
3 mm below the rim of the filter when correctly tamped (fig. L).
Clean any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder so that it will seal properly when the filter holder is
fitted to the brewing head.
If you are using ESE pods, place the pod into the pod filter holder. If the pod has a tab or flap, fold it inside
the filter so it doesn't stick out.
Fitting/removing the filter holder
Position the filter holder under the brewing head with the handle lined up with the unlocked symbol ( ) on
the unit (fig. M).
