Programmable Espresso Machine with Grinder
INTRODUCING THE BREVILLE PROFESSIONAL 800 COLLECTION Fresca Espresso Machina
The quality of freshly ground coffee used in espresso is one of the four most important factors in the preparation of coffee. This attribute is often referred as one of the four hands in espresso preparation. The others are the grinder, the espresso machine and the barista. While the degree and the selection of roast is a personal preference, correctly roasted and rested coffee beans produce espresso with much more taste, flavour and body than coffee that is pre-ground. Pre-ground coffee deteriorates rapidly and over time produces thin flat coffee that has a light and small amount of crema. Jason Chan Melbourne Barista of the Year 2005 With this in mind the Breville Fresca Espresso Machina was developed with an integrated, dosing grinder. By dosing only the required amount of coffee, instantly after being ground, the Fresca Espresso Machina ensures all grounds are fresh, for a richer, creamier espresso.

FEATURES OF YOUR BREVILLE PROFESSIONAL 800 COLLECTION Fresca Espresso Machina
Integrated Conical Burr Grinder The integrated conical burr grinder allows each espresso produced from the Fresca Espresso Machina to be created using freshly ground beans - the key to achieving your ideal espresso. The grinder has been specially designed to combine with the other key features of the Fresca Espresso Machina. Adjustable Grind Size The GRIND SIZE selector allows the fineness/ coarseness of the coffee grind to be accurately adjusted for optimal espresso extraction. The GRIND SIZE selector adjusts the grinding burrs to either move closer together for a finer grind or further apart for a coarser grind. Refer to A Lifetime of Experimentation on page 34. Preset Grind Dosing Single or Double cup dose The preset grind dosing feature automatically dispenses the required amount of ground coffee for either a single or double dose. Accurately adjust the dose quantity to suit the fineness or coarseness of the grind. The single or double grind doses can be easily increased or decreased by the user to suit personal preference. Refer to A Lifetime of Experimentation on page 34.

Under Extracted Zone The gauge needle when positioned within the lower zone during pouring indicates that the espresso will be produced with insufficient pressure resulting in an under extracted espresso. This occurs when the water flow through the ground coffee in the filter is too fast. As a result the optimal flavour will not be extracted and the coffee will be watery and lack thick crema on the top. Possible other causes for under extraction are: coffee grind is too coarse and/or insufficient coffee in filter and/or under tamping. Over Extracted Zone The gauge needle when positioned within the upper zone during pouring will indicate that the espresso will be produced with too much pressure resulting in an over extracted espresso. This occurs when the water flow through the ground coffee in the filter is too slow. As a result the coffee will be very dark and bitter, with a mottled and uneven crema on top. Possible other causes for over extraction are: ground coffee is too fine and/or too much ground coffee in filter and/or over tamping. Commercial Style Steam Wand The swivel-action steam wand with stainless steel frothing attachment, easily adjusts to the perfect position for texturing milk. The wand has a commercial style 360 ball joint.
Advanced Dual Wall CrEma System Filters - A minute to learn Advanced Dual Wall Crema System Filter Baskets (one and two cup) are supplied with the Breville Professional 800 Collection Fresca Espresso Machina. The Advanced Dual Wall Crema System Filters are designed to intentionally slow the water flow rate during brewing, allowing you to easily extract your espresso at the ideal pressure, for the enhanced crema. The filters are suited to both pre-ground vacuum packed coffee and freshly ground coffee on the DUAL WALL setting. Single Wall Filters A lifetime of experimentation Single Wall Filters (one and two cup) are supplied with the Breville Professional 800 Collection Fresca Espresso Machina. The single wall filter baskets are designed to be used with freshly ground coffee only. These filters provide no additional slowing of the water flow rate, hence experimentation with the grind size and volume, along with the tamp force, is required to achieve the desired results. Once the use of these filter baskets has been mastered, they offer a A lifetime of experimentation with different grind size, dose amounts and tamping forces to create a variety of espresso styles. Energy Saving Features The Breville Professional 800 Collection Fresca Espresso Machina will enter the Power Save Mode if not used for 30 minutes, and will automatically switch off if not used for a further two hours. The Power Save Mode uses 50% less power than when the machine is in Stand by Mode. During Power Save Mode only the POWER button surround will flash slowly. All other button light surrounds will not be illuminated. To re-activate the machine during Power Save Mode simply press any button except POWER. The POWER button surround will then illuminate and flash while the machine quickly reheats to operational temperature. When the correct temperature has been reached, all the button surrounds on the control panel will illuminate. To switch off the espresso machine whilst it is in Power Save Mode, simply press the POWER button once.

A LIFETIME OF EXPERIMENTATION (continued)
STEP 3 PREPARING THE SINGLE WALL FILTER BASKETS Place the one or two cup SINGLE WALL filter baskets into the portafilter (use the smaller filter for 1 cup and the larger filter for 2 cups). When brewing for a mug of coffee always use the 2 cup filter and only extract 60ml. If you require a larger coffee, add the hot water first and then extract the coffee. Preheat the portafilter by placing underneath the group head. Rinse with hot water from the group head using the manual pour function. Dry the portafilter thoroughly before use. Place the portafilter into the grinding cradle Fill the hopper with fresh coffee beans Press the DOSE button to select your desired grind dose (single or double) For a single or double grind dose - Push the portafilter in once to activate the grinding switch, then allow the portafilter to be filled with fresh ground coffee. For manual grind dosing Push and hold the micro switch down until the desired amount of ground coffee has been delivered. STEP 4 GRINDING THE COFFEE
NOTE: To stop the grinding function during a single or double dose, simply either press the grind micro switch again, or press the grind mode button. To stop the function during a manual grind function simply pull the portafilter. This will release the activation switch to stop the grind function.
STEP 4 SETTING THE RIGHT GRIND STEP 5 ADJUSTING THE DOSE
When setting the grind it should be fine but not too fine or powdery. The grind will effect the rate at which the water flows through the coffee in the filter and therefore the taste of the coffee. 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 even when under pressure. The resulting coffee will be over extracted, too dark and bitter, with a mottled and uneven crema on top.
If the grind is too coarse the water will flow through the coffee too quickly. This will result in an under-extracted coffee lacking in flavour and without the thick crema on the top layer of coffee.
When dosing for single wall filter baskets using a finer coffee grind, you will need to increase the dose to ensure the filter baskets are correctly filled. To increase the dose amount, turn the DOSE ADJUST dial beyond the DUAL WALL setting to obtain the correct amount of ground coffee.

NOTE: You may need to try this a few times slightly adjusting the DOSE ADJUST dial each time until you reach the correct amount.
STEP 6 - TAMPING THE GROUND COFFEE 2. Tamping Control: The tamper device is removable for hand tamping. a. Remove the tamper from the machine b. Once the grind function has been completed, remove the Portafilter from the grinding cradle and tap to collapse the grind. c. Use one hand to grip the tamper and the other hand to hold the Portafilter handle

Tamp Coffee to Line

For ease of use, the Breville Professional 800 Collection Fresca Espresso Machina provides two handy ways to tamper your coffee: 1. Tamper on Board: The tamper device is held in place, on the machine, allowing for convenient tamping. a. Once the grind function has been completed, remove the Portafilter from the grinding cradle and tap to collapse the grind. b. With the tamper fitted into place, lift the Portafilter towards the tamper base c. Push the portafilter upward firmly, applying even pressure to tamp the coffee d. Release the portafilter from the tamper, and clean any excess ground coffee from the rim of the portafilter to ensure a correct fit into the group head.
d. Apply even pressure down on the tamper and press firmly in order to level and pack the coffee grounds e. Lift the tamper from the portafilter, and clean any excess ground coffee from the rim of the portafilter to ensure a correct fit into the group head. Refer to Coffee Making Tips, page 43
STEP 6 - INSERTING THE PORTAFILTER STEP 7 EXTRACTING THE ESPRESSO Ensure all the button surrounds on the control panel are illuminated, indicating the machine has reached the correct temperature for brewing, and is ready for use. Ensure the drip tray and portafilter are in place. Place one or two pre-warmed cups beneath the portafilter outlet. Place the portafilter underneath the group head so that the handle is aligned with the insert graphic. Press the one cup button once. A preset dose of approximately 30mls will be delivered. A pumping noise will be heard in this operation. The machine will automatically stop once the preset pour has been delivered. PRE-PROGRAMMED DOSE ONE CUP

NOTE: When the espresso machine creates steam, a pumping noise can be heard. This is the normal operation of the 15 Bar pump.
NOTE: After 5 minutes of continuous steaming, the machine will automatically disable the steam function. The steam light will flash. When this occurs return the steam dial to the OFF position.
WARNING: Milk should not be allowed to run over the top of the frothing Attachment, otherwise it will not function properly. To avoid splattering of hot milk, do not lift the end of the frothing attachment above the surface of the milk while frothing. Ensure the STEAM DIAL IS IN THE OFF position before removing the frothing jug.
There are two phases to texture milk: Stretching the milk to aerate it and swirling the milk to make it silky smooth and the right temperature. In practice these two operations should blend into one. STEP 2 - SWIRLING THE MILK After a short while you will have aerated sufficiently. At this point, adjust the jug so the steam wand is off-centre and create a spinning motion in the milk. Compensate for the angle of the steam wand by slightly tilting the jug away from you, or to one side and at the same time lower the nozzle further into the body of the milk. Continue swirling until milk is at desired temperature [between 55 and 65 degrees]. Without a thermometer youll know the milk is ready when the jug base is just too hot to touch. When you get the balance right the milk should end up forming a meringue-like consistency that has a glassy sheen to it. Remove any excess air bubbles by gently knocking the jug against a hard flat surface and pour the milk down the inside of your chosen cup or glass to make your desired coffee. Lastly, dont forget to give your steam wand a good wipe down with a damp cloth.
NOTE: Always ensure that the frothing attachment has been firmly pushed onto the steam wand and connects with the rubber surround. For best results use cold fresh milk. Always clean the steam wand and frothing attachment after every use. Refer to Care and Cleaning, page 49
STEP 1 - STRETCHING THE MILK Hold the jug so the tip of the steam wand is just below the surface of the milk and with your free hand engage the steam. Every so often lower the jug so the steam wand just breaks the surface of the milk and makes a hissing sound. Stretching the milk will increase the volume, so lower the jug as the milk rises to ensure the tip remains just above the surface of the milk.

NOTE: For extracting more espresso immediately after using the steam function, this machine features an auto-purge function. This ensures the ground coffee will not be burnt by the initial water flow from the thermocoil being too hot. Instead this water is automatically released internally into the drip tray ensuring that the internal thermostat is at optimal temperature for extracting coffee. Your coffee will always be extracted at this optimal temperature ensuring only the best flavoured coffee is achieved.
NOTE: If stretching makes a loud screeching sound, the chances are you have lowered the wand into the milk too early.

COFFEE MAKING TIPS

WARMING YOUR CUP OR GLASS A warm cup will help maintain the coffees optimal temperature. Preheat your cup by holding down the one cup button and running hot water into the cups from the group head without the portafilter inserted and place the cups on the warming tray. WARMING THE FILTER HOLDER A cold filter holder can drop the extraction temperature enough to significantly affect the quality of your coffee. Always ensure the filter holder is preheated by running hot water through it before preparing the coffee. USING PRE-GROUND COFFEE If using a pre-ground coffee, ensure an espresso grind suitable for espresso/cappuccino machines is purchased. THE RIGHT MEASUREMENT It is important to use the correct filter for the amount of coffee. A single espresso is made with 13 ounce or 8g of coffee. A level measure of the tamp/spoon is the correct amount of coffee for a single espresso and 2 level measures for a double espresso. TAMPING CORRECTLY Level the desired amount of coffee by gently tapping the side of the filter holder before pressing down firmly with the tamper. When packing for a double espresso it is important only to tamp after the second measure. Tamping between measures will create a layer in the coffee that can impede full extraction. PURGE THE GROUP HEAD Before inserting the filter holder, run some water through the group head. It will ensure that your machine has a last minute clean through and stabilises the temperature prior to extracting. BREWING YOUR ESPRESSO The most common mistake in brewing is to over extract from your ground coffee. This results in a bitter beverage with visibly bleached crema. Crema is the caramel coloured layer that floats on top of the coffee following extraction.
