Preparing the coffee
• Place the 1 or 2 cup filter into the filter holder and
fill with ground coffee (use the smaller filter for 1
cup and the larger filter for 2 cups).
• Use 1 level measure of ground coffee for the
1 cup filter and 2 level measures for the 2 cup
filter. It is important to use the correct amount of
ground coffee as the filter perforations have been
constructed for optimal pressure build up in
the machine.
• Distribute the ground coffee evenly in the filter
and tamp (press) lightly with the bottom of the
measuring spoon (if there is too much ground
coffee or too firmly tamped, the flow of water can
be blocked).
• Clean any excess ground coffee from the rim of the
filter holder to ensure a proper fit under the brew
head.
• Place the filter retainer clip in the release position,
by pulling the clip back towards your hand.
• Place
the filer holder underneath the brew head so
that the handle is positioned to the left of centre.
Lift the filter holder until it contacts the brew head
and rotate to the right.

Brewing the coffee
• Ensure the Selector Control is in the ‘STANDBY’
position.
• Insert the power plug into a 230/240V power outlet
and switch on.
• Press
the Power ‘ON/OFF’ switch to ‘ON’. The red
‘POWER’ light and the orange ‘HEATING’ light will
illuminate. The orange ‘H
EATING’ light goes off
when the machine is heated.
• Ensure the drip tray is in place.
• Position one or two pre-heated cups beneath the
filter holder.
• Turn the Selector Control to the
‘ES
PRESSO’
position.
• After a few seconds, aromatic coffee will begin
to run through the filter holder.
• When sufficient coffee has flowed into the cups,
turn the Selector Control to the ‘S
TANDBY’ position.
This will stop the flow of coffee.
• If the ‘STEAM
’ function is not required, press the
Power ‘ON/OFF’ switch to ‘O
FF’, switch off at the
power outlet, unplug the power cord and allow the
machine to cool.
• Remove the filter holder from the brew head and
using the filter retainer clip to secure the filter in
the filter holder, turn the filter holder upside down
to empty the used coffee into a bin. Used coffee
grounds should be thrown away with domestic
waste and not down the sink which may block
drains. Rinse the filter and filter holder with water
and allow to dry.
The Breville Café Modena Espresso/
Cappuccino Machine remains ready for
brewing and maintains a constant heating
temperature whilst the Power ‘ON/OFF’
switch remains in the ‘ON’ position. If
the temperature decreases, the orange
‘HEATING’ light will illuminate and the
heater will automatically heat to maintain
the correct brewing temperature.
Note
How to froth milk for a cappuccino or
latte
The Breville Café Modena Espresso/Cappuccino
Machine comes complete with a steam wand for
easier steaming and frothing of milk. The first step in
making a cappuccino/latte is to make a short espresso
(see ‘Brewing the coffee’). Then:
• Fill the stainless steel frothing jug
1
⁄3 full with
cold milk.
• When the orange ‘H
EATING’ light goes off, insert
the steam wand, with the froth enhancer attached,
into jug of milk so that the head of the froth
enhancer is just immersed into the milk.
THE METAL PARTS OF THE FILTER HOLDER MAY STILL BE VERY HOT. COOL THESE
PARTS UNDER COLD WATER. ENSURE THE FILTER RETAINER CLIP IS USED TO SECURE
FILTER WHEN DISCARDING THE COFFEE GROUNDS.
