ASSEMBLING YOUR BREVILLE 800 CLASS™ ESPRESSO MACHINE Your 800 Class Espresso Machine will have the Drip Tray, Storage Tray and Water Tank in place when you unpack it from the box. Before first use: It is recommended to complete a water brewing operation without ground coffee before brewing your first espresso coffee to ensure that all internal piping has been preheated (follow Steps 1 and 4 in Operating your Breville 800 Class Espresso Machine – Pages 13 and 15).
OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE 800 CLASS™ ESPRESSO MACHINE • Remove the Filter Holder if locked into the Brew Head and move the Steam Wand to the side of the machine. • Remove the Water Tank by pulling with the handle insert in the front of the Espresso Machine. • When the Water Tank is removed, a black tube slides and extends out from the Water Tank storage area. Do not touch or try to remove this tube, it will automatically slide back into position when the Water Tank is reinserted.
STEP 4 – PRIMING THE BREW HEAD • 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 utilise the pressure in the machine to extract optimal flavour with each brewing. (Refer to The Grind on Page 21).
HOW TO FROTH MILK FOR A CAPPUCCINO OR LATTÉ STEP 7 - BREWING THE COFFEE • The red ‘Heating’ light cycles off when the machine has reached the correct temperature for brewing. • Ensure the Drip Tray and Grid are in place. • Place one or two pre-warmed cups beneath the Filter Holder outlet. • Set the Selector Control to the ‘Espresso’ position. • After a few seconds*, aromatic coffee will begin to brew into the cups. A pumping noise will be heard in this operation.
• When the milk starts to increase in volume, immerse the Frothing Attachment deeper into the jug to heat the milk. NOTE: When the 800ES is creating steam a pumping noise can be heard. This is the normal operation of the 15 Bar pump. • 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.
USING THE HOT WATER FUNCTION The 800ES 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 Steam Wand. To use the Hot Water function, remove the Frothing Attachment from the Steam Wand. Press the Hot Water button then turn the Selector Control to ‘Steam’ . The Hot Water button surround will illuminate when selected. Place a jug or cup underneath the Steam Wand to collect the hot water).
TAMPING THE COFFEE After measuring the ground coffee into the Filter it must be tamped (pressed down) using the flat end of the measuring spoon. The ground coffee should be tamped quite firmly. If the coffee is not tamped firmly enough, the water will flow through the water too quickly and the coffee will be under extracted. If the coffee is tamped too firmly, however, the water will flow through the coffee too slowly and the coffee will be over extracted.
CARE AND CLEANING Cleaning 24 CLEANING THE STEAM WAND AND FROTHING ATTACHMENT • The Steam Wand and Frothing Attachment should always be cleaned after frothing milk. • Ensure the Selector Control is in the ‘Standby’ position. Press the "on/off" button to off, switch off at the power outlet, unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool. • Remove the Frothing Attachment and rinse in warm tap water. Ensure the two fine steam holes on either end of the Frothing Attachment are clear.
CLEANING THE OUTER HOUSING / CUP WARMING PLATE • The outer housing and cup warming plate can be cleaned with a soft, damp 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 full. • If further cleaning is required the full indicator can be removed from the drip tray by releasing the side snaps.

Cups not preheated The cup warming plate starts to warm up as the machine warms up.
COFFEES TO TRY ESPRESSO Intense and aromatic, an espresso or short black as it’s also known uses about 7g of ground coffee. It is served in a small cup or glass to a level of approximately 30ml. 32 COFFEES TO TRY LONG BLACK A long black is generally served as a standard espresso with hot water added to taste. FLAT WHITE A single dose of espresso in a cup topped with steamed milk, 1⁄3 coffee and 1⁄3 milk.
