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.

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.

FEATURES OF YOUR BREVILLE PROFESSIONAL 800 COLLECTION™ FRESCA ESPRESSO MACHINA™ (continued)
HANDS FREE, DIRECT GRINDING TO
PORTAFILTER
The Fresca Espresso Machina™ features an
integrated grinding cradle which fully supports
the portafilter located below the integrated
conical burr grinder. The ‘hands free’ grinding
feature allows you to continue with other
preparations while the portafilter is being evenly
filled with the selected dose of freshly ground
coffee.
An integrated micro switch allows the start and
stop of the grind function with a simple push on
the portafilter.
Place the portafilter into the cradle and simply
push the portafilter toward the machine lightly to
activate the grind function.
TAMPER ‘ON BOARD’
The ‘on board’ tamper assists the user to evenly
and accurately tamp freshly ground coffee into
the filter basket. The tamper is conveniently
located ‘on board’ the machine and can be
used both in the ‘on board’ position or whilst
removed depending on your preference.
Portafilter inserted into grinding cradle Tamper on board Tamper on its own

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.
FEATURES OF YOUR BREVILLE PROFESSIONAL 800 COLLECTION™ FRESCA ESPRESSO MACHINA™ (continued)
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 portafilter.
IDEAL ESPRESSO ZONE
The gauge needle, when positioned within the
middle zone during pouring, indicates that the
espresso will be produced at the ideal pressure.
The brewed espresso should have a generous
layer of fine textured and evenly coloured,
golden crema.
ACCURATE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Breville digital technology provides accurate
temperature control for a full flavoured espresso.
DRY PUCK FEATURE
The ‘Dry Puck’ feature uses an electronic
valve to remove excess water from the ground
coffee in the filter basket. This takes place after
espresso extraction, whilst the Portafilter is
locked into the group head. This results in a
desirable ‘dry coffee puck’ which can then be
disposed of easily and cleanly.
9
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.
FEATURES OF YOUR BREVILLE PROFESSIONAL 800 COLLECTION™ FRESCA ESPRESSO MACHINA™ (continued)
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.
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.
10
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.
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.
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.

Coffees
COFFEES TO TRY
ESPRESSO
Intense and aromatic, an espresso or short
black as it’s also known uses about 8g of
ground coffee. It is served in a small cup or
glass to a level of approximately 30ml.

of espresso with hot water added to taste.
FLAT WHITE
A single dose of espresso in a cup filled with
steamed milk and topped with a skin of silky
smooth foam.
19
COFFEES TO TRY (continued)
CLASSIC CAFÉ LATTÉ
Traditionally the morning coffee of Italy and
France, taken with pain au chocolate or sweet
biscotti. This blend of 1⁄3 espresso to 2⁄3 milk is
made with a single shot of espresso. Top with
steamed milk, poured down the inside rim of the
glass to give a creamy consistency and perfect
layer of froth.
CAPPUCCINO
The real thing is served very light and luke warm
with 1⁄3 espresso to 1⁄3 steamed milk and a
generous final 1⁄3 of creamy froth.
For added finesse, hold a piece of card over
one half of the cappuccino before dusting with
chocolate.
MACCHIATO
A shot of espresso served short in a 70ml
demitasse and stained with a dash of finely
textured milk.
20
COFFEES TO TRY (continued)
CAFÉ MOCHA
A glass of textured milk laced with melted cocoa
or chocolate syrup and an espresso shot. Top
sprinkled with dark chocolate shavings.
ESPRESSO AFFOGATO
Totally irresistible, this sweet temptation is
simply a single scoop of premium vanilla bean
ice cream, drenched in espresso and if desired,
your favourite liqueur. To create a sense of
occasion, serve ice cream in a martini glass with
shots on the side.
CON PANNA
Meaning ‘with cream’ this heart warmer is a
chic variation on old-fashioned Vienna Coffee.
In a 90-120ml cup, dress a double shot of
espresso with a dollop of fresh cream, whipped
until glossy. Dust with cinnamon and serve
immediately.

perfect espresso. And now with the Fresca
Espresso Machina™ and its integrated
coffee grinder, making that perfect fresh
espresso has never been simpler.
Why is freshly ground coffee best? It’s all
about the flavour. Once ground, coffee
remains fresh for only a few short minutes
and is therefore best to grind just before
extracting. With the Fresca Espresso

The Fresca Espresso Machina™ is supplied
with single cup and double cup ‘single wall’
filter baskets. These filter baskets provide no
additional slowing to the water flow rate during
brewing hence experimentation with the grind
size and volume, along with the tamp force, is
required to achieve the desired results. Single
wall filters are suited to freshly ground coffee
only and once the use of these filters has been
mastered, they expose the user to a ‘lifetime of
experimentation’ with different grind settings,
tamping forces and coffee styles.
A great coffee is a balance of main flavour
elements: Acidity, aroma, bitterness, body,
nuttiness, and sharpness. By using the Single
Wall Filters you are free to explore the world of
espresso by to adjusting grind, dose and tamp
to extract a rich variety of flavours.

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.
•
•
STEP 4 – GRINDING THE COFFEE
A LIFETIME OF EXPERIMENTATION (continued)
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.
•
•
•
•
•
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.
35
STEP 4 – SETTING THE RIGHT GRIND
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.
STEP 5 – ADJUSTING THE DOSE
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.
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.
A LIFETIME OF EXPERIMENTATION (continued)
NOTE: You may need to try this a few
times slightly adjusting the DOSE
ADJUST dial each time until you
reach the correct amount.

the machine will pump water
momentarily, followed by a pause
then continues to pump the water
through to the ground coffee in
the portafilter. The ground coffee
is moistened by a small amount
of water before full extraction
then expands resulting in greater
pressure build-up to extract all the
oils and full flavour from the ground
coffee.
Insert the portafilter up into the group head and
rotate the handle to the right until resistance is
felt, this will be at an approximate 90° angle to
the machine.
NOTE: The amount of espresso extracted

The Breville Professional 800 Collection™
Fresca Espresso Machina™ 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 froth is required, remove the frothing
attachment from the steam wand before
texturing. 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, onto the steam
wand and pushing firmly upwards onto the
rubber surround.
Fill the stainless steel frothing jug
maximum 1⁄2 full with cold, fresh milk.
Turn the Steam selector dial to the ‘Steam’
position. The red steam light will start to flash
indicating that the machine is heating to
create steam.
When the steam light stops flashing it is ready
to use.
Before inserting the wand into the milk, pause
the steam by returning the dial back to the
‘OFF’ position. This will avoid splashing the
milk out of the jug [this pause function lasts
for 6 seconds before exiting steam mode.].
Insert the wand into the milk and heat.
To stop, return the steam dial to the ‘OFF’
position and remove the jug.
•
•
•
•
•
•
NOTE: When the espresso machine
creates steam, a pumping noise
can be heard. This is the normal
operation of the 15 Bar pump.
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.
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.
THE ART OF TEXTURING MILK
41
THE ART OF TEXTURING MILK
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.
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: 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
NOTE: If stretching makes a loud
screeching sound, the chances are
you have lowered the wand into the
milk too early.
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 you’ll 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, don’t forget to give your steam wand a
good wipe down with a damp cloth.
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.
42
WARMING YOUR CUP OR GLASS
A warm cup will help maintain the coffee’s
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.
COFFEE MAKING TIPS
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 1⁄3 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.
NOTE: Always wipe the filter and filter
holder dry before preparing the
coffee as moisture can encourage
‘drilling’ - this is when water
bypasses the ground coffee during
extraction.
NOTE: Make sure to wipe off any excess
coffee from the rim of the filter to
ensure a proper seal is achieved
under the group head.
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
fineness of the grind and the
tamping pressure. We recommend
experimenting by varying these
factors to achieve the coffee taste
of your preference.
