Brewing coffee
• Make sure the selector control is in the
standby position.
• Plug the power cord into a 230/240V electrical
outlet, switch on and set the power switch to
the standby position.
• As soon as the orange ‘Heating’ light turns off, the
machine is heated up.
• Make sure the drip tray is in place.
• Place one or two pre-heated cups beneath the
filter holder.
• Set the selector control to the Espresso position.
• After a few seconds, aromatic coffee will begin
to run through.
• When sufficient coffee has flowed into the cups, set
the selector control to the standby position. This
will stop the flow of coffee.
• If you do not need to use the steam function, set
the power switch to the ‘Off’ position, 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 (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 machine remains ready for brewing and
maintains a constant heating temperature as
long as the Power switch is left in the ‘On’
position. If the temperature should drop, the
orange control light will illuminate and the
heater will automatically heat up to the correct
brewing temperature.

How to froth milk for a cappuccino or latte
The Breville Café Roma comes complete with a
frothing attachment for easier frothing of milk.
The first step in making a cappuccino/latte is to
make a short espresso (see “Brewing coffee”). Then:
• Fill the stainless steel frothing jug
1
⁄
3
full with
cold milk.
• As soon as the orange ‘Heating’ light turns off,
plunge the steam wand into jug of milk so that the
main head of the froth enhancer is immersed into
the milk.
• Set the selector control to the
Steam position.
• Gently move the frothing jug in a circular motion
around the froth enhancer.
• When the milk has begun to increase in volume,
immerse the froth enhancer deeper into the milk
to further heat the milk.
• Place your hand on the bottom of the stainless
frothing jug. When the jug becomes too hot to
touch, set the selector control to the standby
position to stop the steaming function before
removing the jug. This will ensure that you don’t
burn the milk.
• When steaming milk you will hear a pumping
sound. This is the thermoblock operating and
is normal.
• As you return the selector control to the standby
position, steam will be released from the machine.
This is normal operation.
• Add the steamed milk to each cup of freshly
brewed espresso coffee and spoon on the frothed
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 about 10cm of frothed milk
(traditionally served in a glass)
Always ensure that the frothing attachment
has been firmly pushed onto the steam wand
For best results use fresh cold milk (lite milk
will froth easier).
Always clean the steam wand and froth
enhancer after every use (refer to care
and cleaning).
If brewing more coffee straight after using
the steam function, set the selector control to
the Espresso position to run a small amount
of water through the brewing head for a few
seconds without the filter holder in place.
This will prepare the system for optimal
brewing temperature.
Note
THE METAL PARTS OF THE FILTER HOLDER MIGHT STILL BE VERY HOT. COOL DOWN THESE PARTS
BY RUNNING UNDER COLD WATER.
MAKE SURE Y
OU USE THE FIL
TER RETAINER CLIP WHEN DISCARDING THE COFFEE GROUNDS.
LIQUID SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN OVER THE TOP OF THE FROTH ENHANCER,
OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT FUNCTION.
TO AVOID SPLATTERING OF HOT MILK, DO NOT LIFT THE STEAM NOZZLE ABOVE THE SURFACE
OF THE MILK WHILE FROTHING.
ENSURE THE SELECTOR CONTROL IS IN THE STANDBY POSITION BEFORE REMOVING THE
FROTHING JUG.
