Operating your Breville Dual Boiler™

Operating your Breville Dual Boiler™

FIRST USE

Initial Start Up

Fill water tank with cold, preferably filtered water. You can do this by either opening the top-fill water tank lid (push to open), or by removing the water tank at the back of the machine.

CAUTION

We recommend using cold, filtered water. We do not recommend the use of de-mineralized or distilled water as this may affect the taste of the coffee and how the machine is designed

to function.

Check STEAM LEVER and HOT WATER dial are in the CLOSED position.

Press the POWER button to switch the machine On. The POWER button will flash and the LCD screen will display the current espresso boiler temperature.

A pumping sound will be heard indicating empty boilers are being filled with water for the first time. This is normal.

When the machine has reached the default operating temperature (200˚F / 93˚C), the POWER button light will stop flashing and the MANUAL, 1 CUP and 2 CUP buttons will illuminate. The machine is now in STANDBY mode, ready for the next step ‘Flushing The Machine’.

NOTE

If the machine does not enter STANDBY mode, the boilers may need further “priming”. Rotate the HOT WATER dial to the OPEN position. When water starts to flow from the Hot Water outlet, rotate the HOT WATER dial to the CLOSED position.

Flushing The Machine.

When the machine has reached STANDBY mode, run the following 3 steps:

1.Press 2 CUP button to run water through group head.

2.Rotate HOT WATER dial to the OPEN position and run for 30 seconds.

3.Move STEAM LEVER to the OPEN position and run for 10 seconds.

Repeat this cycle until tank is empty.

TIP

To easily maneuver your machine, use the drop down swivel foot located under the drip tray. When turned to the UNLOCK position, the swivel foot drops down and lifts the machine upwards, making it easier to access the rear water tank or reposition the machine to another location.

START UP

Press the POWER button to switch the machine On. The POWER button will flash and the LCD screen will display the current espresso boiler temperature.

When the machine has reached the default operating temperature (200˚F / 93˚C), the POWER button light will stop flashing and the MANUAL, 1 CUP and 2 CUP buttons will illuminate. The machine is now in STANDBY mode ready for use.

NOTE

The machine is in START UP mode when the POWER button light is flashing. During this time, the MANUAL, 1 CUP and 2 CUP buttons will be disabled. Similarly, if you press the MENU button during START UP mode and select SHOT VOL or CLEAN CYCLE, the LCD screen will display BUSY.

Always wait until the machine is in STANDBY mode. This is when the POWER button light stops flashing and the MANUAL, 1 CUP and 2 CUP buttons illuminate.

POWER SAVE MODE

The machine will enter POWER SAVE mode after remaining idle for 1 hour and turn Off completely if not used for a continuous

4 hour period (refer to ‘Auto Power Off’, page 21).

Pressing any button during POWER SAVE mode (except POWER), or operating the STEAM LEVER or HOT WATER dial will cause the machine to enter START UP mode.

Pressing the POWER button during POWER SAVE will turn the machine Off.

BES900XL specifications

The Breville BES900XL, also known as the Dual Boiler Espresso Machine, is a high-performance espresso maker designed for home baristas who seek professional quality in the comfort of their kitchen. This machine combines innovative technology with user-friendly features to create exceptional espresso beverages, making it a popular choice among coffee enthusiasts.

One of the standout features of the BES900XL is its dual boiler system. Unlike traditional espresso machines that use a single boiler for both brewing and steaming, this model utilizes two separate stainless steel boilers. This design allows for simultaneous brewing and steaming, which is essential for producing café-quality drinks like lattes and cappuccinos. With the ability to maintain consistent temperatures, the dual boilers ensure that the espresso extraction and milk frothing processes occur perfectly.

Temperature control is another key characteristic of the Breville BES900XL. It offers precise PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) temperature control, which enables users to select and maintain the ideal brewing temperature. This precision is critical for extracting the best flavors and aromas from coffee grounds, enhancing the overall espresso experience.

Additionally, the BES900XL features a shot clock, which helps users monitor the timing of their espresso extraction. This built-in timer assists in achieving the ideal shot duration, allowing for a more consistent and delicious brew. The machine also boasts a large water tank with a capacity of 84 ounces, reducing the frequency of refills during busy brewing sessions.

The BES900XL is equipped with a powerful steam wand for frothing milk. This steam wand features a 360-degree rotation, enabling baristas to create various milk textures and designs with ease. The manual control allows users to adjust the pressure and steam as needed, ensuring that they can achieve the desired microfoam for their coffee creations.

Durability is another essential aspect of the Breville BES900XL, which is built with high-quality materials and components. Its brushed stainless steel construction not only gives it a sleek appearance but also ensures longevity and resilience in daily use.

With its wealth of features, including dual boilers, precise temperature control, and a powerful steam wand, the Breville BES900XL caters to coffee lovers looking to elevate their espresso-making skills. Whether crafting a morning espresso or delivering a sophisticated latte art, this machine empowers users to achieve professional results at home.
