FEATURES OF YOUR BREVILLE BARISTA EXPRESS (continued)

ACCURATE TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Breville digital technology provides accurate temperature control for a full flavored espresso.

DRY PUCK FEATURE

The ‘Dry Puck’ feature uses an electronic valve to remove excess water from the ground espresso in the filter. This takes place after espresso extraction whilst the portafilter is locked into the group head. This results in a desirable ‘dry espresso puck’ which can then be disposed of easily and cleanly.

PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTION

The Barista Express offers a convenient choice between preset shot sizes (1oz or 2oz), manual function (over-rides preset shot size for one time only) or a programmable function that reprograms the preset shot sizes with the user’s preferred shot size.

ESPRESSO PRESSURE GAUGE

The espresso pressure gauge assists in obtaining the most favorable extraction pressure, guiding the user to create their ideal espresso. This is achieved by measuring the pressure at which the water is being forced through the ground espresso in the portafilter.

The ideal position of the gauge needle is anywhere within the ESPRESSO RANGE.

Refer to the provided Extraction Guide or page 45 for tips on how to achieve the most favorable extraction.

COMMERCIAL STYLE STEAM WAND

The swivel-action steam wand with stainless steel frothing attachment easily adjusts to the perfect position for texturing milk. The wand has a commercial style 360° ball joint.

NOTE: While the Pressure Gauge is a great guide to the quality of the extraction, the best indicator is the look and taste of the espresso.
