Operating your Breville Aroma Fresh Coffee Maker

Tips on how to best use your Breville Aroma Fresh Coffee Maker

Before first use

Before brewing your coffee for the very first time, clean the Aroma Fresh thoroughly as follows:

1.Lift the lid to the water tank and fill the water tank to the maximum mark with water. The water tank is removable and can be taken to the sink to be filled. Alternatively you can fill the glass carafe to the max mark and pour into the water tank.

2.Insert plug into a 230/240V power outlet and then switch ‘On’ at the outlet.

3.Ensure the filter holder is firmly positioned into place.

4.Position the empty carafe on the hot plate and switch the coffee maker on. The ‘On/Off’ switch will illuminate and water will start to drip through.

5.When the water has dripped through, press the ‘On/Off’ switch to off. Remove the carafe from the hot plate, empty and wash in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

The Aroma Fresh coffee maker is now ready for use.

Permanent Mesh Filter Basket

This filter basket is provided to ensure optimal flavour extraction from the finely ground coffee into the brewed coffee.

The filter basket is removable and should be washed in warm, soapy water after each use, then rinsed and dried thoroughly. Replace back into the filter holder.

Disposable paper coffee filters are not necessary and should not be used with or without the Permanent Mesh Filter Basket.

Note

Brewing coffee

1.Push the filter holder to the left and it will swing open. You can use the handle on the right and pull towards you.

2.Place the mesh filter basket inside the filter holder.

3.Spoon ground coffee into the mesh filter basket. Allow approximately 1 heaped teaspoon of ground coffee for each cup of brewed coffee. This may vary according to taste and coffee used.

4.Close the filter holder by pushing it back into position. Ensure it is clicked into place.

5.Fill the water tank to the desired level with cold tap water. Do not exceed the max water mark.

6.Position the empty carafe on the hot plate and switch on. The ‘On/Off’ switch will illuminate and the coffee will start to brew.

7.When brewing is complete, the hot plate will keep the coffee hot as long at the coffee maker is switched on.

8.Switch off when the carafe is empty or when you no longer want to keep the coffee hot.

If you wish to brew another carafe of coffee immediately: switch the coffee maker off, clean the carafe and the filter basket. Follow the steps under ‘Brewing Coffee’.

Note

The non-drip valve feature allows you to interrupt the brewing cycle before the entire carafe has finished filling. While the non-drip valve feature is a convenient way to pour a cup of coffee mid-cycle, we recommend you wait until the completion of the brew cycle, as the strength and flavour of the coffee poured mid-cycle will vary from the finished brew.

Note

Brewing tea

The coffee maker can be used for brewing tea if desired. Simply place 4-6 teabags or teaspoons of tea in the mesh filter basket and follow the same procedure as for brewing coffee.

It is advisable to thoroughly clean out the coffee residue in the mesh filter basket and filter basket holder before brewing tea and vice versa.
