OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE PRODUCT

BEFORE FIRST USE

Machine Preparation

Remove and discard all labeling and packaging materials attached to your espresso machine. Ensure you have removed all parts and accessories before discarding the packaging. Clean parts and accessories (water tank, portafilter, filter baskets and jug) using warm water and a gentle dish washing liquid and rinse well. Wipe the outer housing and drip tray with a soft damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the outer housing, power cord or power plug in water or any other liquid.

The water filter located inside the water tank will need to be removed before washing the water tank

Conditioning the Water Filter

• Remove filter from the plastic bag and soak in a cup of water for 5 minutes.
• Rinse filter under cold running water.
• Wash the stainless steel mesh in the plastic filter compartment with cold water. Insert the filter into the filter holder.
  
• Set the dial date 2 months ahead.
• To install filter into water tank, push down to lock into place.
• Slide the water tank into position and lock into place.

FIRST USE

Initial Start Up

• Fill tank with water
• Press POWER button
• A pumping sound will be heard. The machine will reach operating temperature and go into ‘Standby’ mode.

Flushing the Machine

It is recommended to complete a water flushing operation, without ground coffee, to ensure the machine has been conditioned. When the machine has reached ‘Standby’ mode, run the following 2 steps.

• Turn the Control Dial to the ‘Espresso’ position for 30 seconds.
• Turn the Control Dial to the

‘Steam’ position to activate steam for 20 seconds.

Repeat this cycle several times.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

• Ensure the water filter is securely fitted inside the tank.
• Fill the water tank with cold tap water to the maximum mark on the side of the tank and slide the water tank back into position at the back of the machine.
• Plug the power cord into power outlet.
• Press the POWER button. The POWER button surround will flash while the machine is heating. When the correct temperature has been reached, all the button surrounds on the control panel will illuminate.

COFFEE PREPARATION

Dose & Tamping the Ground Coffee

If using whole bean coffee ground directly before extracting, use the Single Wall Filter Baskets. If using Pre-ground coffee, use the Dual Wall Filter Baskets. Insert the correct Filter Basket into the portafilter. Fill the Filter Basket with ground coffee, tap down to collapse the coffee, then using the integrated tamper, tamp down firmly (approx. 15-20kg of pressure).

It’s important to apply consistent pressure every time.

• As a guide to dose, the top edge of the metal cap on the tamper should be level with the top of the filter basket AFTER the coffee has been tamped. This will minimize under or over dosing the coffee.
  
• Wipe excess coffee from the rim of the filter basket to ensure a proper seal in the group head is achieved.

TRIMMING THE DOSE

The Razor™ precision dose trimming tool allows you to trim the puck to the right level for a consistent extraction.

Refer to Coffee Making Tips & Preparation, page 17 for more details.

EXTRACTING ESPRESSO

Insert the Portafilter into the Group Head & lock into position. Turn the Control Dial to the ‘Espresso’ position. A pumping noise will be heard. After a few seconds, coffee will begin to brew into the cup.

When sufficient coffee has been extracted, turn the Control Dial to ‘Standby’. This will stop the flow of coffee. Breville recommends approx. 30 sec of extraction.

LOW PRESSURE PRE-INFUSION

The low pressure pre-infusion gradually increases water pressure to gently expand grinds for an even extraction before increasing to full pressure.

WARNING The metal parts of the portafilter will be very hot.

TEXTURING MILK

The Duo Temp™ Pro is equipped with a commercial style steam wand.

• Before inserting the steam wand into the milk, it is recommended to purge the steam wand.
• Set the Control Dial to ‘Steam’.
  
• The ‘Steam’ LED will illuminate.
• It may take a few moments before the steam appears.
• Pause the steam by returning the dial back to the ‘Standby’ position. This will avoid the milk splashing out of the jug.
• The Steam will Pause for 8 secs.
• Insert the wand into the milk and set the Control Dial to the ‘Steam’ position to texture milk.
• To stop the steam set the Control Dial to the ‘Standby’ position and remove the jug.

HOT WATER

The machine features a separate Hot Water function that dispenses hot water from the steam wand.

To use the Hot Water function:

• Press the SELECT button and the Hot Water LED will illuminate.
• Direct the spout outlet towards the drip tray.
• Turn the Control Dial to ‘Steam’.
• To turn the hot water off, turn the Control Dial to the ‘Standby’ position.

WARNING

Hot water may drip from the Steam Wand. Always direct spout outlet towards the drip tray.

AUTO PURGE

For extracting espresso immediately after using the steam function, this machine features an auto purge function.

The auto purge function ensures the ground coffee will not be burnt by the initial water flow from the thermocoil being too hot. Water is automatically released internally into the drip tray ensuring that the thermocoil is at optimal temperature for extracting espresso. Your espresso will always be extracted at the optimal temperature ensuring only the best flavors are extracted.

COFFEE MAKING TIPS & PREPARATION

PRE-HEATING

Heating your cup or glass

A warm cup will help maintain the coffee’s optimal temperature. Preheat your cup by rinsing with hot water and place on the cup warming tray.

Heating the portafilter and filter basket

A cold portafilter and filter basket can reduce the extraction temperature enough to significantly affect the quality of your espresso. Ensure the portafilter and filter basket are preheated with hot water before initial use. Wipe the filter and portafilter dry before dosing with ground coffee as moisture can encourage channeling where water by-passes the ground coffee during extraction.

Single Wall Filter Baskets

The Single Wall filters (1 & 2 CUP) are designed to be used with freshly ground coffee and allow you to experiment with grind, dose, and tamp to create a more balanced espresso.

The Single Wall filters have no markings on the underside of the filter.

Advanced Dual Wall Filter Baskets

The Dual Wall filters (1 & 2 CUP) are designed to be used with pre-ground coffee and regulate the pressure to help optimize extraction and crema regardless of the grind, dose or tamp pressure.

The Dual Wall filters have DUAL WALL stamped on the underside of the filter.

The Grind

When grinding coffee beans, the grind size should be fine but not too fine. The grind size will affect the rate at which the 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 fingers), the water will not flow through the coffee when under pressure. The resulting espresso will be OVER EXTRACTED, dark in color and bitter in flavor.

Coffee Dose and Tamping

• Wipe coffee basket with a dry cloth.
• If using Single Wall filter baskets, grind enough coffee to fill the coffee basket. You may need to experiment with the amount of coffee to achieve the correct dose.
• Tap the portafilter several times to distribute the coffee evenly in the filter basket.
• Tamp down firmly (using approx. 30-40lbs or 15-20kg of pressure). It’s important to apply consistent pressure every time.
• As a guide to dose, the top edge of the metal cap on the tamper should be level with the top of the filter basket AFTER the coffee has been tamped. This will minimize under or over dosing the coffee.
  
• Wipe excess coffee from the rim of the filter basket to ensure a proper seal in the group head is achieved.

TRIMMING THE DOSE

The Razor™ precision dose trimming tool allows you to trim the puck to the right level for a consistent extraction.

Dose the Portafilter with freshly ground coffee and tamp down with between 30-40lbs or 15-20kg of pressure.

Insert the Razor™ into the coffee basket until its shoulders rest on the rim of the filter basket. The blade of the dosing tool should penetrate the surface of the tamped coffee. Rotate the Razor™ dosing tool back and forth while holding the portafilter on an angle over the knock box to trim off excess coffee. Your coffee filter basket is now dosed with the correct amount of coffee.

EXTRACTION GUIDE

COFFEE MAKING TIPS & PREPARATION

PURGING THE GROUP HEAD

Before placing the portafilter into the group head, run a short flow of water through the group head, turning the Control Dial to the ‘Espresso’ position. This will purge any ground coffee residue from the group head and 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.

EXTRACTING ESPRESSO

• Place pre-warmed cup(s) beneath the group head and turn the Control Dial to the ‘Espresso’ position until the required volume is reached.
• As a guide, the espresso should start to flow after 8-10 seconds (infusion time) and should be the consistency of pouring honey.
• If the espresso starts to flow before 6 seconds you have either under dosed the filter basket and/or the grind is too coarse. This is an UNDER EXTRACTED shot.
• If the espresso starts to drip but doesn’t flow after 15 seconds, you have either over dosed the filter basket and/or the grind is too fine. This is an OVER EXTRACTED shot.
• A great espresso is about achieving the perfect balance between sweetness, acidity and bitterness.
• The flavor of your coffee will depend on many factors, such as the type of coffee beans, degree of roast, freshness, coarseness or fineness of the grind and dose of ground coffee.
• Experimenting by adjusting these factors just one at a time can help to achieve the taste of your preference.

TEXTURING MILK

There are two phases to texturing milk. The first is stretching the milk to aerate it and the second is swirling the milk to make it silky smooth. These two operations should blend into one.

• Always start with fresh cold milk.
• Fill the jug just below the V at the bottom of the spout.
• Position the steam tip over the drip tray and turn the Control Dial to ‘Steam’ position, purging any condensed water.
• Turn the Control Dial to ‘Standby’ position to pause the steam, insert steam wand tip into milk and turn dial to ‘Steam’ position.
• Insert the steam tip 1-2cm below the surface close to the right hand side of the jug at the 3 o’clock position.
• Keep the tip just under the surface until the milk is spinning clockwise, producing a vortex (whirlpool effect).
  
• With the milk spinning, slowly lower the jug. This will bring the steam tip to the surface of the milk and start to introduce air into the milk. You may have to gently break the surface of the milk with the tip to get the milk spinning fast enough.
• Keep the tip at or slightly below the surface, continuing to maintain the vortex. Texture the milk until sufficient volume is obtained.
• Lower the tip beneath the surface, but keep the vortex of milk spinning. The milk is at the correct temperature 140-150°F or 60-65°C when the jug is hot to touch.
• Turn the Control Dial to the ‘Standby’ position before taking the tip out of the milk.
• Set the jug to one side, turn steam on to purge out any residual milk from the steam wand and wipe steam wand with a damp cloth.
• Tap the jug on the bench to collapse any bubbles.
• Swirl the jug to polish and integrate the texture.
• Pour milk directly into the espresso.
• The key is to work quickly, before the milk begins to separate.

BEAN FRESHNESS

Breville recommends quality 100% Arabica beans with a ‘Roasted On’ date stamped on the bag, not a ‘Best Before’ or ‘Use By’ date.

Coffee beans are best consumed between 5-20 days after the ‘Roasted On’ date.

Store coffee beans in an airtight container. Vacuum seal if possible. Grind immediately before brewing as ground coffee quickly loses its flavor and aroma.

• To install, push down to lock into place. The water filter can be removed

from the water tank during operation if not required.

PORTAFILTER CLEANING

Periodically run water through the machine with the portafilter in place, but without any ground coffee, to rinse out any residual coffee particles.

MACHINE CLEANING

After regular use, residual grinds and oil build up in the machine can affect coffee extraction. We recommend performing a cleaning cycle every 2-3 months using the cleaning tablet provided.

To perform a cleaning cycle:

1. Insert the silicon disk into the portafilter.

2. Place the cleaning tablet on the silicon disk (position in the center).

3. Insert the portafilter into the group head and rotate to right to lock in position.

4. Ensure Power On/Off button is on.

5. Turn the dial to the ‘Espresso’ position for 20 seconds.

6. Turn the dial back to the ‘Standby’ position.

7. Repeat steps 5-6 three times or until the cleaning tablet is dissolved.

DECALCIFYING

After regular use, hard water can cause mineral build up in and on many of the internal components, reducing water flow, power of the machine, and affecting the quality of coffee.

We advise decalcifying the machine on a regular basis (every 2-3 months) using a mixture of white vinegar and water.

Use the following as a guide:

SOLUTION FOR DECALCIFYING

Diluted Solution (for softer water).

• 1 part white vinegar
• 2 parts cold tap water

Concentrated Solution (for harder water)

• 1 part white vinegar
• 1 part cold tap water

DECALCIFYING THE MACHINE

• Ensure the Control Dial is in the ‘Standby’ position, the POWER On/Off button is off and unplugged.
• Remove the filter holder and pour the mixture of white vinegar and water into the water tank.
• Plug the machine into the power outlet.
• Place a large container under both the Group Head and the Steam Wand.
• Set the Control Dial to the ‘Espresso’ position and let half the mixture of white vinegar and water run through the Group Head.
• Set the Control Dial to the ‘Steam’ position and allow the remaining liquid to run through the Steam Wand. When the liquid stops flowing, set the Control Dial back to the ‘Standby’ position.
• After decalcifying, remove the water tank and rinse thoroughly then re-fill with fresh cold water.
• To rinse the machine, run half the water through the Group Head and half through the Steam Wand.
• The machine is ready for use.

CLEANING THE STEAM WAND

1. Run steam to clear milk from wand after texturing
2. Wipe steam wand after each use
3. Clean hole with pin
4. Remove tip
5. Soak tip overnight then re-attach

CLEANING FILTER BASKETS

Should the fine holes in the filters become blocked follow the steps below:

1. Place the filter into the portafilter. Run water through the machine with the filter and portafilter in place, without any ground coffee.

2. The pin tool can be used to clear the filter basket holes.

3. For a thorough clean of the filters, dissolve a cleaning tablet in hot water and soak filters overnight.

CLEANING THE OUTER HOUSING / CUP WARMING PLATE

The outer housing and cup warming plate can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Then polish with a soft, dry cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which can scratch the surface.

CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY

The drip tray should be removed, emptied and cleaned at regular intervals.

Wash the drip tray with warm soapy water, using a non-abrasive washing liquid, rinse and dry thoroughly. The drip tray base and cover are dishwasher safe.
