OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE CAFÉ VENEZIA™ ESPRESSO MACHINE

Pre-warming Cups

The Cup Warming Tray will start to warm as the machine heats.

Pre-warm the cups by placing them on the Cup Warming Tray or by rinsing them with hot water from the group head. This will help maintain the coffee’s optimal temperature when brewed into the cups.

Preparing the Coffee

Place the 1 or 2 cup filter basket into the filter holder.

Use the smaller filter for 1 cup/1oz and the larger filter for 2 cups/2oz or 2 singles at the same time. When brewing for a mug of coffee always use the 2 cup filter and only extract 2 oz. If you require a larger coffee, add the hot water first and then brew the coffee.

Use 1 level measure of ground espresso coffee for the 1 cup filter basket and 2 level measures for the 2 cup filter basket. It is important to use the correct amount of coffee for each filter as the filter perforations have been constructed to utilize the pressure in the machine to extract optimal flavor with each brewing.

Tamping the Ground Coffee

Distribute the ground coffee evenly in the filter and press down firmly with the tamping end of the measuring spoon and ensure that it is level.

Clean any excess ground coffee from the rim of the filter holder to ensure a proper fit into the group head.

NOTE:

1 cup filter for single shot (1oz/30ml),

2 cup filter for double shot (2oz/60ml) or two single shots.

NOTE:

When brewing for a mug of coffee, always use the 2 cup filter. If you require a larger coffee, add the hot water first and then brew the coffee.

BES250XL specifications

The Breville BES250XL, also known as the Infuser Espresso Machine, stands out as a versatile and efficient tool for coffee enthusiasts and baristas alike. With a sleek design and an array of sophisticated features, this machine is crafted to deliver a café-quality espresso experience right in the comfort of your home.

One of the defining characteristics of the BES250XL is its precise temperature control system. The machine employs a digital PID temperature control, which ensures that the water is consistently heated to the ideal extraction temperature. This is vital for achieving the rich flavors and aromas that characterize a perfect espresso shot. With the ability to maintain stability and precision, users can enjoy optimal extraction results, whether they prefer lighter or more robust coffee profiles.

Another noteworthy feature of the Breville Infuser is its 15-bar Italian pump. This powerful pump creates the necessary pressure to extract espresso from the coffee grounds effectively. Coupled with the pre-infusion function, the BES250XL gradually increases the pressure at the beginning of the extraction process. This pre-soaking allows for a more even saturation of the coffee grounds, enhancing the overall flavor and consistency of each cup.

The machine also boasts a generous water tank capacity of 61 ounces, which is removable for easy filling and cleaning. This feature allows users to brew multiple shots of espresso without frequent refills. Additionally, the BES250XL is equipped with a 360-degree swivel steam wand, perfect for frothing milk for lattes and cappuccinos. The steam wand creates microfoam, achieving the velvety consistency that every coffee lover craves.

From a design perspective, the Breville BES250XL is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. Its polished stainless steel housing not only adds a modern touch to any kitchen but also ensures durability. The intuitive control panel includes an easy-to-read LCD screen that provides essential information about the brewing process and allows for user-friendly operation.

In conclusion, the Breville BES250XL Infuser Espresso Machine is a high-quality appliance that combines advanced technologies with user-friendly features. With its precise temperature control, powerful pressure system, ample water capacity, and exceptional steam capabilities, it offers a complete espresso-making experience. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced barista, this machine will elevate your coffee brewing to new heights.
