PROGRAMMING YOUR BREVILLE DIE CAST PROGRAMMABLE ESPRESSO MACHINE

Manual Espresso

Press and hold the single or two cup

button. Release the button once sufficient coffee has flowed into the cup.

NOTE: PRE-BREW FUNCTION

When a single or double coffee is selected, the machine will pump water momentarily, followed by a pause then continues to pump the water through to the ground coffee in the filter holder. The ground coffee is moistened by a small amount of water before full extraction then expands resulting in greater pressure build-up to extract all the oils and full flavor from the

ground coffee.

STEP 8 – EMPTYING THE FILTER HOLDER

Remove the filter holder from the group head by rotating the filter holder to the left until it releases. To empty the used coffee grounds, turn the filter holder upside down in a bin and gently tap out the coffee (used coffee grounds should be thrown away with domestic waste and not down the sink which may block drains). Remove the filter by using the indents on the side of the filter holder. Rinse the filter and filter holder with water and allow to dry.

WARNING: The metal parts of the Filter holder may still be very hot. Cool these parts in cold water.

Known for its sleek design and advanced technology, the BES820XL combines functionality with aesthetic appeal, making it a centerpiece of any kitchen.

One of the standout features of the Breville BES820XL is its Dual Boiler system.

The BES820XL also offers a powerful steam wand that provides excellent microfoam quality for lattes and cappuccinos. The steam wand is fully articulated and allows for 360-degree mobility, making it easy to create latte art with perfectly textured milk. This feature caters to both novice users and experienced baristas alike, ensuring that anyone can create café-style beverages at home.

Moreover, the machine is equipped with a large 67-ounce water tank, reducing the frequency of refills and making it suitable for entertaining guests. The tank is removable, which simplifies refilling and cleaning. The BES820XL also features a stainless steel housing, providing both durability and a professional look.

Cleaning and maintenance are made easy with the removable drip tray and the self-cleaning function of the steam wand, which ensures hygiene with minimal effort. Breville’s attention to detail extends to the design of the machine, making it user-friendly while incorporating insights from baristas and coffee enthusiasts.
