INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You have selected the
new and innovative Breville
®
One-Touch
CoffeeHouse. This unique appliance
has been designed to help you prepare
delicious espressos, cappuccinos
and lattes quickly, conveniently, and
automatically with the touch of a button.
ESPRESSO
A unique method of coffee brewing in
which hot water is forced through nely
ground coffee. Popular in Europe, it is a
far richer and more full-bodied brew than
regular drip coffee. Because of its richness,
espresso is usually served in 45 to 60 ml
(1.5 to 2 oz.) portions, in demitasse cups.
CAPPUCCINO
A drink made with about 1/3 espresso, 1/3
steamed milk, and 1/3 frothed milk.
LATTE
A drink made with about 1/4 espresso and
3/4 steamed milk.
Please read ALL of the instructions,
cautions, notes and warnings included in
this instruction manual carefully before you
begin to use this appliance. When this unit
is used, some parts and accessories get
hot and need to cool down. Proper care
and maintenance will ensure the long life
of the Breville
®
One-Touch CoffeeHouse
and its trouble-free operation. Save these
instructions and refer to them often for
cleaning and care tips.
Your Breville
®
One-Touch CoffeeHouse
can be used with ground coffee as
well as E.S.E. pods (45 mm), making
it exceptionally practical and versatile
to prepare single shots of espresso,
cappuccino and latte.

HOW TO SELECT THE RIGHT CUP
Please make sure to select your cup
according to the following chart:
NOTE: The total amount of the beverage
can vary depending on the type of milk and
level of froth used.
SELECTING THE RIGHT COFFEE
THE COFFEE
The coffee should be freshly ground
and dark roasted. You may want to
try a French or Italian roast ground for
espresso. Pre-ground coffee will only
retain its flavour for 7 – 8 days, provided
it is stored in an airtight container and
in a cool, dark area. Do not store in a
refrigerator or freezer. Whole beans are
recommended to be ground just before
use. Coffee beans stored in an airtight
container will preserve flavour for up to 4
weeks.
THE GRIND
This is a vital step in the espresso making
process if you are grinding your own
coffee. It may require practice. The coffee
must be of a ne grind.
The correct grind should look like table
salt.
If the grind is too ne, the water will not
ow through the coffee even under high
pressure. These grinds look like powder
and feel like our when rubbed between
ngers.
If the grind is too coarse, the water
ows through the coffee too fast,
preventing a full-avored extraction.
Be sure to use a quality grinder for
uniform consistency.
