STEP 7 - BREWING THE COFFEE
• The red ‘Heating’ light cycles off when the

machine has reached the correct temperature
for brewing.

• Ensure the Drip Tray and Grid are in place. 

• Place one or two pre-warmed cups beneath

the Filter Holder outlet.

• Set the Selector Control to the ‘Espresso’

position.

• After a few seconds*, aromatic coffee will

begin to brew into the cups. A pumping noise
will be heard in this operation.

• When sufficient coffee has flowed into the

cups, set the Selector Control to the ‘Standby’
position. This will stop the flow of coffee.

• If the steam function is not required, leave

the Selector Control to the ‘Standby’ position,
unplug the power cord and allow the machine
to cool.

PRE-BREW FUNCTION
• When the Selector Control is set to the

‘Espresso’ position, the 15 bar pump pumps
water momentarily, followed by a pause, then
continues to pump the water through to the
ground coffee in the Filter Holder. The ground
coffee is moistened by a small amount of
water before full extraction and expands
resulting in greater pressure build-up to
extract all the oils and full flavour from the
ground coffee. The ground coffee expands and
when greater pressure is built up, the brewed
coffee is extracted with its full flavour.

STEP 8 – EMPTYING THE FILTER HOLDER
• Remove the Filter Holder from the Brew Head

by turning the Filter Holder to the left until it
releases. To empty the used coffee grounds,
turn the filter holder upside down in a bin
and gently tap out the coffee (used coffee
grounds should be thrown away with
domestic waste and not down the sink which
may block drains). Remove the Filter by using
using the indents on the side of the Filter
Holder. Rinse the Filter and Filter Holder with
water and allow to dry.

The 800 Class Espresso Machine comes
complete with a Commercial Swivel Steam Wand
and Stainless Steel Frothing Attachment. When
using the Frothing Attachment a large amount of
froth is easily created.

If less froth is required, remove the Frothing
Attachment and steam the milk using the Steam
Wand. To remove the Frothing Attachment,
ensure it is cool then simply pull down and
remove. The Frothing Attachment can be stored
in the Storage Tray inside the machine if not
used regularly.

To refit the Frothing Attachment ensure it is
securely attached to the Steam Wand by
inserting it, from either end opening, onto the
Wand and pushing firmly upwards onto the
rubber surround. Ensure the fine steam holes on
either end of the Frothing Attachment are clean
to achieve optimal frothing.

• Turn the power button ‘On’

• The first step in making a cappuccino or latté

is to make a short espresso. Refer to
“Operating your Breville 800 Class Espresso
Machine” on Page 12.

• Then fill the stainless steel frothing jug 

1/3 full

with cold fresh milk.

• Turn the Selector Control to the ‘Steam’

position. (Refer to information on Steam and
Hot Water buttons on Page 19.) The ‘Heating’
light will start to flash indicating that the
Thermoblock Heating System is heating and
preparing to create steam.
