Programmable Function
This espresso machine offers a convenient
choice between the Manual Operation or the
intelligent Programmable Function that can be
personalised with the user’s favourite espresso
setting.
Espresso Pressure Gauge
The espresso pressure gauge assists in
obtaining the most favourable extraction
pressure, guiding the user to create their ideal
espresso. This is achieved by measuring the
pressure at which the water is being forced
through the ground coffee in the fi lter holder.
White Zone - Ideal Espresso
The gauge needle when positioned within the
recommended White Zone during pouring
indicates that the espresso will be produced at
the ideal pressure. The brewed espresso should
have a generous layer of fi ne textured and
evenly coloured golden crèma.
Green Zone - Under Extracted
The gauge needle when positioned within the
Green Zone during pouring indicates that the
espresso will be produced with insuffi cient
pressure resulting in an ‘under extracted’
espresso. This occurs when the water fl ow
through the ground coffee in the fi lter is too
fast. As a result the optimal fl avour will not be
extracted and the coffee will be watery and lack
thick créma on the top. Possible other causes
for under extraction are: coffee grind is too
coarse and/or insuffi cient coffee in fi lter and/or
under tamping.
Red Zone - Over Extracted
The gauge needle when positioned within
the Red 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 fl ow
through the ground coffee in the fi lter is too
slow. As a result the coffee will be very dark
and bitter, with a mottled and uneven créma on
top. Possible other causes for over extraction
are: ground coffee is too fi ne and/or too much
ground coffee in fi lter and/or over tamping.
Hot Water Wand
The dedicated hot water wand is ideal for
making your favourite hot drinks. For convenient
use the wand has a commercial style 360° ball
joint.

FEATURES OF YOUR BREVILLE PROFESSIONAL 800 COLLECTION™ PROGRAMMABLE ESPRESSO MACHINE (continued)
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 Créma System
Filters
Advanced Dual Wall Créma System Filters
(one and two cup) are supplied with the
Breville Professional 800 Collection™
Programmable Espresso Machine.
The Advanced Dual Wall Créma System
Filters are designed to intentionally
slow the water fl ow rate during brewing,
allowing you to easily pour your espresso
at the ideal pressure, for the perfect
créma.
The fi lters are suited to both pre-ground
vacuum packed coffee and freshly ground
coffee.
Electronic Temperature Control
The electronic temperature control system
accurately maintains the optimal brewing
temperature of the water. This helps
ensure the user gets the best possible
extraction each time an espresso is made.
Energy Saving Features
The Breville Professional 800 Collection™
Programmable Espresso Machine will
enter the ‘Power Save Mode’ if not used
for one hour, and will automatically switch
off if not used for a further three hours.
The ‘Power Save Mode’ uses 45% less
power than when the machine is in
‘Stand by’ Mode.
During ‘Power Save Mode’ only the
POWER button surround will be
illuminated. All other button and light
surrounds will not be illuminated.
To re-activate the machine during ‘Power
Save Mode’, simply press the program or
one-cup or two-cup buttons. The POWER
button surround will then illuminate and
fl ash while the machine quickly reheats to
operational temperature. When the correct
temperature has been reached, all the

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE PROFESSIONAL 800 COLLECTION™ ESPRESSO MACHINE (continued)
STEP 3 - PREPARING THE COFFEE
• Place the 1 or 2 cup fi lter into the fi lter
holder (use the smaller fi lter for 1 cup
and the larger fi lter for 2 cups). When
brewing for a mug of coffee always use
the 2 cup fi lter and only extract 60ml.
If you require a larger coffee, add the hot
water fi rst and then brew the coffee.
• Preheat the fi lter holder by placing
underneath the group head. Rinse with
hot water from the wand using the hot
water function or from the group
head and rinse with hot water using the
manual pour function. Dry the fi lter and
fi lter holder thoroughly before use.
• Use 1 level measure of ground espresso
coffee for the 1 cup fi lter and 2 level
measures for the 2 cup fi lter. It is
important to use the correct amount
of coffee for each fi lter as the fi lter
perforations have been constructed
to utilise the pressure in the machine to
extract optimal fl avour with each
brewing.
Refer to ‘The Coffee Making Tip’,
page 22.
NOTE: When using a 1 cup fi lter holder,
for optimal fl avour, you should
only extract approximately 30ml.
When using a 2 cup fi lter holder,
for optimal fl avour, you should
only extract approximately 60ml.
STEP 4 - TAMPING THE GROUND COFFEE
• Distribute the ground coffee evenly in
the fi lter and press down lightly with the
tamping end of the measuring spoon.
Refer to ‘Coffee Making Tips’, page 22
• Clean any excess ground coffee from
the rim of the fi lter holder to ensure a
proper fi t into the group head.

HOW TO TEXTURE MILK FOR A CAPPUCCINO OR LATTÉ
The Breville Professional 800 Collection™
Programmable Espresso Machine comes
complete with a Commercial Style Swivel
Steam Wand and Stainless Steel Frothing
Attachment. When using the frothing
attachment on the steam wand a large
amount of froth is easily created.
If less texture is required, remove the
frothing attachment from the steam wand
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 refi t the frothing attachment ensure it is
securely attached to the steam wand by
inserting it, from either opening, onto the
steam wand and pushing fi rmly upwards
onto the rubber surround. Ensure the fi ne
steam holes on either end of the frothing
attachment are clean to achieve optimal
texturing.
• Press the POWER button to ‘On’.
• The fi rst step in making a cappuccino
or latté is to make a short espresso.
Refer to ‘Operating your Espresso
Machine’, pages 14-16.
• Then fi ll the stainless steel frothing jug
1⁄3 full with cold, fresh milk.
• Turn the Selector Control to the ‘Steam’
position. The white steam light will start
to fl ash indicating that the Thermoblock
Heating System is heating and preparing
to create steam.
• For improved results, purge the steam
wand of water before placing into the
milk.
NOTE: When the espresso machine
creates steam, a pumping noise
can be heard. This is the normal
operation of the 15 Bar pump.
• When the steam light stops fl ashing,
quickly insert the steam wand into the
jug of milk so that the froth attachment is
just immersed into the milk.
NOTE: If steam starts coming from the
steam wand before it is immersed
in the milk, pause the steam by
turning the Selector Control back
to the ‘Standby’ position. This will
avoid the steam pressure blowing
milk out of the jug.
BES820 IB V6.indd 19BES820 IB V6.indd 19 19/9/07 2:23:53 PM19/9/07 2:23:53 PM

• Hold the frothing jug at an angle so
that steam wand and/or the frothing
attachment sits just below the surface of
the heating milk and the steam will move
the milk around the inside of the jug in a
circular motion.
NOTE: The espresso machine features
a swivel steam wand assembly so
the position of the steam wand can
be changed to a comfortable angle.
HOW TO TEXTURE MILK FOR A CAPPUCCINO OR LATTÉ
• When the milk starts to increase in
volume, immerse the steam wand and/
or frothing attachment deeper into the
jug to heat the milk.
• Hold the jug at an angle with one hand
and place your other hand on the outer
base of the stainless frothing jug.
• When the base of the jug becomes too
hot to touch, set the Selector Control
to the ‘Standby’ position, stopping
the steaming function before
removing the jug. A pumping noise will
sound for a short time, do not be
alarmed as there will be a fi ve second
delay prior to the machine carrying out
the Auto-purge function.
• Pour the steamed milk into each cup of
freshly brewed espresso coffee and
spoon in the frothing milk, in the
following ratios:
Cappuccino - 1⁄3 espresso, 1⁄3 steamed milk,
1⁄3 frothed milk
Latté -
1⁄3 espresso topped with steamed milk
and approximately 1cm frothed milk, traditionally
served in a glass.
NOTE: After 5 minutes of continuous
steaming, the machine will
automatically disable the steam
function. The steam and hot water
lights will fl ash. When this occurs
return the selector control to the
‘Standby’ position.
NOTE: Always ensure that the frothing
attachment has been fi rmly pushed
onto the steam wand and connects
with the rubber surround. For best
results use cold fresh milk (low
fat milk will froth easier). Always
clean the steam wand and frothing
attachment after every use. Refer
to ‘Care and Cleaning’, page 24.
NOTE: For brewing more coffee
immediately after using the steam
function, this machine features an
auto-purge function. This ensures
that ground coffee will not be burnt
by the initial water fl ow from the
thermoblock 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
fl avoured coffee is achieved.
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 SELECTOR

The espresso machine features a separate
hot water function that can be used for
making tea, hot chocolate and other warm
drinks. The hot water is dispensed from
the dedicated Hot Water Wand.
Place a jug or cup underneath the Hot
Water Wand to collect the hot water.
To use the hot water function, turn the
Selector Control to HOT WATER. The hot
water light will illuminate when selected.
To turn the hot water off, turn the Selector
Control to the ‘Standby’ position.
Limit the extraction of hot water to 2 litres
each use.
The machine is not designed to make
large pots of coffee and tea. The more hot
water used at the one time, the cooler it
becomes.
USING THE HOT WATER FUNCTION
NOTE: After 2 minutes of continued hot
water use, the machine will
automatically disable the hot water
function. The steam and hot water
lights will fl ash. When this occurs
return the selector to the ‘Standby’
position.

WARMING YOUR CUP OR GLASS
A warm cup will help maintain the coffee’s
optimal temperature. Preheat your cup by
storing on the cup warming tray or rinsing
with hot water from the hot water wand.
WARMING THE FILTER HOLDER
A cold fi lter holder can drop the extraction
temperature enough to signifi cantly affect
the quality of your coffee. Always ensure
the fi lter holder is preheated by running
hot water through it before tamping it with
coffee.
NOTE: Always wipe the fi lter and fi lter
holder dry before tamping with
ground coffee as moisture can
encourage ‘drilling’ - this is when
water bypasses the ground coffee
during extraction.
THE GRIND
If using a pre-ground coffee, ensure an
espresso grind suitable for espresso/
cappuccino machines is purchased.
If grinding coffee beans, the grind should
be fi ne but not too fi ne or powdery. The
grind will effect the rate at which the water
fl ows through the coffee in the fi lter and
therefore the taste of the coffee.
If the grind is too fi ne (looks like powder
COFFEE MAKING TIPS
and feels like fl our when rubbed between
fi ngers), the water will not fl ow through the
coffee even when under pressure. The
resulting coffee will be over extracted, too
dark and bitter, with a mottled and uneven
créma on top.
If the grind is too coarse the water will fl ow
through the coffee too quickly. This will
result in an under-extracted coffee lacking
in fl avour and without the thick créma on
the top layer of coffee.
THE RIGHT MEASUREMENT
A single espresso is made with ¼ ounce or
7g 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. It is important to use the
correct fi lter for the amount of coffee.
TAMPING CORRECTLY
Level the desired amount of coffee by
gently tapping the side of the fi lter holder
before pressing down fi rmly with the
tamping end of the measuring spoon.
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 fi lter 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.
NOTE: Make sure to wipe off any excess
coffee from the rim of the fi lter to
ensure a proper seal is achieved
under the group head.
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 crèma. Crèma is the caramel
coloured layer that fl oats on top of the
coffee following extraction.
NOTE: The taste of your coffee will, of
course, depend on personal
preference and on many other
factors such as the type of coffee
bean used, the coarseness or
fi neness of the grind and the
tamping pressure (pressed down).
We recommend experimenting by
varying these factors to achieve the
coffee taste of your preference.

CLEANING THE STEAM WAND AND
FROTHING ATTACHMENT
• The steam wand and frothing
attachment should always be cleaned
after frothing milk
• Remove the frothing attachment and
rinse in warm tap water. Ensure the
two fi ne steam holes on either end of
the frothing attachment are clear. Use
the pin on the cleaning tool to unblock
these holes.
• Wipe the steam wand with a damp
cloth, and then with the steam wand
directed back into the drip tray, briefl y
set the Selector Control to the ‘Steam’
position. This will clear any remaining
milk from inside the steam wand.
CARE AND CLEANING
• Ensure the Selector Control is in the
‘Standby’ position. Press the POWER
button to off, switch off at the power
outlet, unplug the power cord and allow
the machine to cool.
• If the Steam Wand remains blocked, use
the pin on the cleaning tool to clear the
opening.
• If the steam wand continues to be
blocked, the tip of the steam wand can
be removed by using the spanner in the
middle of the cleaning tool.
• Soak the tip in hot water before using
the pin on the cleaning tool to unblock.
Replace the tip back onto the steam
wand and secure with the cleaning tool.
CLEANING THE FILTERS, FILTER HOLDER
AND GROUP HEAD
• The stainless steel fi lters and fi lter holder
should be rinsed under water directly
after use to remove all coffee particles.
Should the fi ne holes in the fi lters
become blocked, the fi ne pin on the
cleaning tool can be used to clear the
holes.
• The group head interior should be wiped
with a damp cloth to remove any ground
coffee particles.
• Periodically run water through the
machine with the fi lter holder in place,
but without any ground coffee, to rinse
out any residual coffee particles.

CARE AND CLEANING (continued)
CLEANING THE OUTER HOUSING / CUP
WARMING PLATE
• The outer housing and cup warming
plate can be cleaned with a soft, damp
cloth. Then polish with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, pads or
cloths which can scratch the surface.
CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY
• The drip tray should be removed,
emptied and cleaned at regular intervals,
particularly when the drip tray full
indicator is showing ‘Empty Me!’.
• Remove the stainless steel grid and
‘Empty Me!’ indicator from the drip tray,
wash with warm soapy water, using a
non-abrasive washing liquid, rinse and
dry thoroughly. The ‘Empty Me!’
indicator can be removed from the drip
tray by inserting fi ngers into two holes in
the corners and pulling upwards to
release the side latches.
CLEANING THE STORAGE TRAY
• The storage tray can be removed after
the drip tray is removed then cleaned
with a soft, damp cloth (do not use
abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which
can scratch the surface).
NOTE: Do not clean any of the parts or
accessories in the dishwasher.

DECALCIFYING
• After regular use, hard water can cause
mineral build up in and on many of the
inner functioning components, reducing
the brewing fl ow, power of the machine,
and affecting the quality of coffee.
• We advise decalcifying the machine on
a regular basis (every 2-3 months) using
a mixture of white vinegar and water.
Follow the instructions provided, or use
the following as a guide:
Diluted solution (for softer water)
• 1 part white vinegar
• 2 parts cold tap water
Concentrated solution (for harder water)
• 1 part white vinegar
• 1 part cold tap water
DECALCIFYING THE MACHINE
• Ensure the Selector Control is in the
‘Standby’ position, the POWER button
is in the ‘Off’ position and the machine
is switched off at the power outlet and
unplugged.
• Remove the fi lter holder and frothing
attachment. Pour the mixture of white
vinegar and water into the water tank.
• Plug the machine into the power outlet
and switch on.
• Press the POWER button to the ‘On’
position and turn the Selector Control to
the ‘Standby’ position.
• Place a large container under the group
head, steam wand and hot water wand.
