COFFEE MAKING TIPS & PREPARATION

PAgeCOFFEEheaderMAKING..... TIPS & PREPARATION

INSERTING THE Portafilter

Place the portafilter underneath the group head so the handle is aligned with the INSERT position. Insert the portafilter into the group head and rotate to the right until the handle is securely locked in place. Rotating past the center will not damage the silicone seal.

EXTRACTING ESPRESSO

•Place pre-warmed cup(s) beneath the portafilter and press the MANUAL,

1CUP or 2 CUP button.

•As a guide, the espresso will start

to flow after 9–14 seconds (this includes pre-infusion time) and should be the consistency of dripping honey.

•If the espresso starts to flow before

9seconds you have either under

dosed the filter basket and/or the grind is too coarse. This is an UNDER-EXTRACTED shot.

•If the espresso starts to drip or flow after 14 seconds, then you have either over dosed the filter basket and/or the grind is too fine. This is an OVER-EXTRACTED shot.

A great espresso is about achieving the perfect balance between sweetness, acidity and bitterness.

The flavor of your coffee will depend on many factors, such as the type of coffee beans, degree of roast, freshness, coarseness or fineness of the grind, dose of ground coffee, and tamping pressure.

Experiment by adjusting these factors just one at a time to achieve the taste of your preference.

TEXTURING MILK

•Always start with fresh cold milk.

•Fill the jug just below the “V” at the bottom of the spout.

•Position the steam tip above the drip tray and lift the steam lever to purge the steam wand of any condensed water.

•Insert the steam tip ¼-¾" (1-2cm) below the surface of the milk, close to the right hand side of the jug at the 3 o’clock position.

•Move the STEAM LEVER to the OPEN position.

•Keep the tip just under the surface of the milk until the milk is spinning clockwise, producing a vortex (whirlpool effect).

•With the milk spinning, slowly lower the jug. This will bring the steam tip to the surface of the milk & start to introduce air into the milk. You may have to gently break the surface of the milk with the tip to get the milk spinning fast enough.

•Keep the tip at or slightly below the surface, continuing to maintain the vortex. Texture the milk until sufficient volume is obtained.

•Lift the handle of the jug to lower the tip beneath the surface, but keep the vortex of milk spinning. The milk is at the correct temperature (140–150°F or 60–65°C) when the jug is hot to touch.

•Move the steam lever to the CLOSED position BEFORE taking the tip out of the milk.

•Set the jug to one side. Wipe the wand & tip with a damp cloth. Position the steam tip above the drip tray and lift the steam lever to purge out any residual milk.

•Tap the jug on the bench to collapse any bubbles.

•Swirl the jug to “polish” and re-integrate the texture.

•Pour milk directly into the espresso.

•The key is to work quickly, before the milk begins to separate.

HINTS & TIPS

•Fresh, quality coffee beans will give you the best possible extraction.

•We recommend quality 100% Arabica beans with a ‘Roasted On’ date stamped on the bag, not a ‘Best Before’ or ‘Use By’ date.

•Coffee beans are best consumed between 5–20 days after the ‘Roasted On’ date. Ideally only grind directly before the extraction to maximize flavor.

•Buy coffee beans in small batches to reduce the storage time.

•Store coffee beans in a cool, dark and dry container. Vacuum seal if possible.

The large water tank, capable of holding 84 ounces, means fewer trips to refill and the convenience of brewing multiple drinks in a row.

Another attractive aspect of the Breville BES920XL is its steam wand, featuring a commercial-style design. This steam wand allows for precise milk texturing and microfoam creation, essential for crafting lattes, cappuccinos, or flat whites. The easy-to-use control dials simplify the processes of adjusting steam pressure and temperature, making it accessible even for those new to espresso making.

In terms of user-friendly features, the BES920XL includes a clear LCD screen displaying important information, such as water temperature and brew time. The intuitive interface helps users navigate through different settings with ease.

Finally, the machine also comes with a range of accessories, including a portafilter, cleaning tools, and a stainless steel milk jug, providing everything needed to start making cafe-quality beverages at home. The Breville BES920XL Dual Boiler Espresso Machine is a perfect investment for those who appreciate the artistry of espresso and desire a high level of control over their brewing process.
