ESPRESSO PRESSURE GAUGE
IdEAL ESPRESSO ZONE
The gauge needle, when positioned in
the middle zone during extraction,
indicates the espresso will be extracted at
the ideal pressure.
UNdER ExTRACTEd ZONE
The gauge needle, when positioned in the
lower zone during extraction, indicates
the espresso has been extracted with
insufficient pressure. This occurs when
the water flow through the ground coffee is
too fast and results in an under extracted
espresso that is watery and lacks crema
and flavour.
Causes for under extraction include the grind
being too coarse and/or insufficient coffee in
filter basket and/or under tamping.
OvER ExTRACTEd ZONE
The gauge needle, when positioned in the
upper zone during extraction, indicates the
espresso has been extracted with too much
pressure. This occurs when the water flow
through the ground coffee is too slow and
results in an over extracted espresso that
is very dark and bitter with a mottled and
uneven crema.
Causes for over extraction include the
grind being too fine and/or too much
ground coffee in filter basket.

The Breville Barista Express™ comes

heating to create steam.
• When the steam light stops flashing the
steam wand is ready for use.
• Before inserting the wand into the milk,
pause the steam by returning the dial

steam, a pumping noise can be heard.
This is the normal operation of the
15 bar Italian pump.

steaming, the machine will
automatically disable the steam
function. The steam light will flash.
When this occurs return the steam
dial to the STANDBY position.
USING HOT WATER OUTLET
Turn the STEAM/HOT WATER selector dial
to the hot water position. The white steam
light will flash to indicate the machine is
heating to create hot water.
When the steam light stops flashing, the hot
water is up to temperature.
To stop the flow of hot water, return the
steam dial back to the STANDBy position.
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. The 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 flavours are extracted.
