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 ‘Empty Me!

•Remove the stainless steel grid and pull the ‘Empty Me!’ full indicator upwards to dislodge from the drip tray. Wash with warm soapy water, using a non-abrasive washing liquid, rinse and dry thoroughly.

NOTE:

Make sure to wipe off any excess coffee from the rim of the filter to ensure a proper seal is achieved under the group head.

WARNING: DO NOT IMMERSE ! CORD, PLUG OR APPLIANCE IN

WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.

Decalcifying The Machine

•After regular use, hard water can cause mineral build up in and on many of the inner functioning components, reducing the brewing flow, power of the machine, and affecting the quality of coffee.

•We advise decalcifying the machine on a regular basis (every 2-3 months) using a mixture of white vinegar and water.

•Follow the instructions provided or use the following as a guide:

Diluted

1 part white vinegar

Solution

2 parts cold tap water

(for softer water)

 

 

 

Concentrated

1 part white vinegar

Solution

1 part cold tap water

(for harder water)

 

 

 

•Ensure the ‘SELECTOR CONTROL’ is in the ‘STANDBY’ position, the ‘POWER’ button is in the ‘Off’ position and the machine is unplugged.

•Remove the filter holder and frothing attachment. Pour the mixture of white vinegar and water into the water tank.

•Press the ‘POWER’ button to the ‘On’ position and turn the ‘SELECTOR CONTROL’ to the ‘STANDBY’ position.

•Place a large container under the group head, and steam wand.

•When the brewing temperature has been reached the red ‘HEATING’ light will switch off. Turn the ‘SELECTOR CONTROL’ to the ‘ESPRESSO’ position to commence pour.

•Once half the mixture of white vinegar and water has run through the group head turn the ‘SELECTOR CONTROL’ to the ‘STANDBY’ position.

•Set the ‘SELECTOR CONTROL’ to the ‘STEAM’ position and allow the remaining solution to run through the steam wand. When the solution has run through, set the ‘SELECTOR CONTROL’ back to ‘STANDBY’ position.

•After decalcifying, remove the water tank and rinse thoroughly then re-fill with fresh cold water. To rinse the machine, repeat previous steps.

NOTE:

Do not use any other decalcifying agents, other than vinegar.

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.
