OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE DIE CAST PROGRAMMABLE ESPRESSO MACHINE (continued)
STEP 3 - PREPARING THE COFFEE
• Place the 1 or 2 cup filter into the filter
holder (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 2 oz.
If you require a larger coffee, add the hot
water first and then brew the coffee.
• Preheat the filter 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 filter and
filter holder thoroughly before use.
• Use 1 level measure of ground espresso
coffee for the 1 cup filter and 2 level
measures for the 2 cup filter. It is
important to use the correct amount
of coffee for each filter as the filter
perforations have been constructed
to utilize the pressure in the machine to
extract optimal flavor with each
brewing.
Refer to ‘The Coffee Making Tip’,
page 22.
NOTE: When using a 1 cup filter holder,
for optimal flavor, you should
only extract approximately 1 oz.
When using a 2 cup filter holder,
for optimal flavor, you should only
extract approximately 2 oz.
STEP 4 - TAMPING THE GROUND COFFEE
• Distribute the ground coffee evenly in
the filter 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 filter holder to ensure a
proper fit into the group head.
