Breville CAFE MODENA Espresso/Cappuccino Machine, BES230 manual

Operating your Breville Café Modena Espresso/Cappuccino Machine continued

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 ‘Heating’ 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 ‘EsPRESSO’ 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 ‘Standby’ position. This will stop the flow of coffee.

•If the ‘steam’ function is not required, press the Power ‘ON/OFF’ switch to ‘Off’, 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 ‘Heating’ 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.
