Congratulations! You have selected the
new and innovative Breville® Prima Latte
Luxe. 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.
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 Prima Latte Luxe is used, some parts
and accessories get hot and need to cool
down. Proper care and maintenance will

Your Breville
®

pods (45 mm), making it exceptionally
practical and versatile to prepare single
shots of espresso, cappuccino and latte.
ESPRESSO
A unique method of coffee brewing in
which hot water is forced through nely
ground coffee. Espresso is far richer
and more full-bodied than regular drip
coffee. Because of its richness, espresso
is usually served in smaller portions, in
demitasse cups.
CAPPUCCINO
A drink made with espresso, steamed milk,
and frothed milk.
LATTE
A drink made with espresso and steamed
milk.

to the MAX level and slide the milk
reservoir back in its place. You should
feel the milk reservoir click in place.
3. Select one of the lters (single or
double espresso) and place it in the
portalter. Place the portalter in
the Prima Latte Luxe, ensuring it is
properly locked, and place a large
cup under it (at least 325mL / 11 .oz

YOUR PRESET BEVERAGES SIZES
NOTE: The total amount of the beverage
can vary depending on the type of milk
used.
SELECTING THE RIGHT COFFEE
THE COFFEE
The coffee should be freshly ground for
the best avour. Pre-ground coffee will
start to loose its oils and become much
drier, affecting its its avour in roughly
7 – 8 days. Store your coffee grinds in an
air tight container in a cool dark place. 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 can preserve avour 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.

and ll under a tap.
Fill the reservoir with
the desired amount
of water between the
MIN and MAX level
markings, then replace
the lid.
2. If you have removed
the reservoir from

a good idea to replace the lid before
replacing the reservoir back on the Prima

USING THE PORTAFILTER FOR
GROUND COFFEE AND E.S.E PODS
CHOOSING THE FILTER
Select the lter to be used as follows:
FOR A SINGLE SHOT or E.S.E. PODS –
use the lter for a single shot of espresso
if using ground coffee, or if using 45mm
E.S.E. (Easy Serving Espresso) pods.
FOR A DOUBLE SHOT OR TWO SINGLE
SHOTS – use the lter for a double shot
of espresso. By placing two small cups
underneath the portalter you may prepare
two single shots of espresso at once.
PLACING THE FILTER IN THE
PORTAFILTER
Firmly press the lter into the portalter.
POD
FILLING THE MILK RESERVOIR
1. If you plan to prepare a cappuccino or
latte, remove the milk reservoir from
the Prima Latte Luxe by gently pulling
the reservoir forwards (see gure 2),
then remove the milk frothing system by
pressing the release button at the side.
2. Pour the desired quantity of cold milk
you estimate you will need, making
sure it is below the “MAX” level on the
reservoir (see gure 3). Filling to the
“MIN” mark will allow one of any milk
beverage to be made.
3. Ret the milk frothing system by simply
pressing back in place until the release
button clicks to lock, then slide the milk
reservoir back onto the Prima Latte Luxe
ensuring it ts tightly. You should feel the

after making your beverage, this can be
stored in the fridge using the supplied
lid.
NOTE: You can use any type of milk you
prefer, i.e. dairy or non-dairy alternatives,
and still achieve great results, but for best
results with non-dairy milk we recommend
using specic barista variations.
CHOOSING THE FILTER
Your Prima Latte Luxe includes one
portalter for use with ground coffee and
E.S.E. pods.
VCF166_23EM1 (UK).indd 8-9VCF166_23EM1 (UK).indd 8-9 2023/1/19 10:392023/1/19 10:39

FOR E.S.E. (EASY SERVING
ESPRESSO) PODS
1. Simply place the pod in the single lter
for a single shot of espresso.
2. If there is any loose paper from the pod
sticking out from the lter, be sure to
fold it inside to ensure a good seal when
brewing.
PLACING THE PORTAFILTER
1. Position portalter underneath the group
head so that the handle is pointing to the
left, then push up gently so that the lugs
of the portalter t into the slots of the
group head.
2. Slowly turn the portalter to the right until
it stops, and the handle is facing directly
forwards.
3. To remove the portalter use the reverse
of the above procedure.
POD
FILLING WITH COFFEE
FOR GROUND COFFEE:
1. Coffee grounds come in a variety
of sizes so for best results it is
recommended to use ne espresso
grounds.
2. Using the supplied scoop makes it easy
to ll the lter with fresh grounds. Use
the small end of the scoop to ll a single
lter and the large end to ll a double
lter.
3. Fill the scoop with grounds and level off
4. With the lled scoop face up in one
hand, use the other hand to place the
portalter face down on the scoop and
over the grounds, taking care to locate
the raised rib of the scoop inside the
lter.
5. Next, whilst holding the scoop and
portalter rmly together, invert them
both so that the portalter is on the
bottom and place it on a at surface
(for example the kitchen worktop).
Then remove the scoop to reveal the
perfectly dosed quantity of grounds
in the portalter. Note: It is normal for
the correct dose of grounds to appear
overlled in the lter before tamping.
6. Lightly tap the portalter on the worktop
to slightly collapse the grounds before
tamping.
7. Using the tamp, push the coffee grounds
downwards until the top of the straight
section of the tamp is approximately
level with the top of the portalter to get
your espresso grounds compact and
level.
8. Clean any excess coffee from the rim to
ensure proper t under the group head
of the machine.
PLACING THE CUP(S)
1. If brewing only espresso it isn’t
necessary to attach the milk reservoir.
When the milk reservoir is not attached
the Prima Latte Luxe will only allow you
to select espresso buttons “ ”.
2. For any milk-based beverages adjust the
cup platform so that the rim of the cup is
close to the milk spout, by moving it to
whichever of the height adjustment slots
is most suitable. Note: the cup platform
is designed to only t the slot in the
correct orientation.
3. Keep the cup platform on top of the
removable drip tray if you are using a
larger cup to brew cappuccino or latte.
4. For tall cups and ‘To Go Cups’, it’s
possible to remove the drip tray
altogether and position the cup on the
base of the machine. When used in this
mode, be sure to empty the small red
drip tray after each use to prevent overll
(see image).
CAUTION: When brewing cappuccino or
latte, please make sure to use the frothing
tube lever to position the frothed milk
dispensing tube inside the rim of the cup.
