3. Filter Baskets
• Single Wall Filter Baskets
These work with freshly ground coffee
grinds and are supplied with the Barista
Max.
Note: Pre-ground coffee grinds are too
coarse to use with Single Wall Filter
Baskets.
• Dual Wall Filter Baskets
These work best with pre-ground coffee
grinds, but can also be used for freshly
ground coffee grinds.
These are available for purchase from
Breville. Details are on the back page.
4. Grind Dosage & Tamp Force
For best results, the amount of coffee
grinds used should remain consistent.
The unit is pre-programmed so that for
every grind setting, when it reaches 1.0
approx 13g has been dispensed, and 2.0
19.5g. These are the perfect quantities for a
single (1.0) or double (2.0) shot. Even if the
grinder is adjusted the machine recalibrates
to give a consistent dose of grounds.
The Barista Max+ allows you to perfect
your espresso taste by adjusting the
grinding to allow less grounds: for example
you can grind less for a double shot (1.8)
or more (2.2), with the LED display once
you have the perfect espresso you can
ensure you get consistent dosage and
brewing results by always grinding to your
preferred dose.
Note: It is normal for the correct dose of
coffee grinds to appear overfilled in the
Filter Basket before tamping.
Tamp force is very difficult to gauge, the
consume could practise using some kitchen
scales to see what 10-15kg feels like.

and tamp with the same pressure.
When the coffee dispenses in 25-

• Increase the grind size to a coarser
setting, but keep dispensing to 2.0
and tamp with the same pressure.
When the coffee dispenses in 25-

a stronger coffee, Person B likes a
weaker coffee, both want a double
espresso
• Person A grinds to 2.2, Person B
