BEFORE FIRST USE

Machine Preparation

Remove and discard all labels and packaging materials attached to your espresso machine. Ensure you have removed all parts and accessories before discarding the packaging.

Remove the water tank located at the back of the machine by pulling down the water tank handle. Remove the plastic bag containing the water filter and water filter holder. Clean parts and accessories (water tank, portafilter, filter basket, jug) using warm water and a gentle dish washing liquid. Rinse well then dry thoroughly.

TIP

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

INSTALLING THE WATER FILTER

Remove the water filter and water filter holder from the plastic bag.

Soak the filter in a cup of water for 5 minutes then rinse under cold running water.

Wash the filter holder with cold water, taking specific care to rinse the stainless steel mesh.

Insert the filter into the two parts of the filter holder.

Place filter into filter holder

To install the assembled filter holder into the water tank, align the base of the filter holder with the adapter inside the water tank. Push down to lock into place.

Fill the water tank with cold water before sliding back into position at the back of the machine and locking into place.

DO NOT use highly filtered, demineralized or distilled water in this machine. This may affect the taste of the coffee and how the machine operates.

BES980 specifications

The Breville BES980, also known as the Oracle, is a sophisticated espresso machine that combines professional-level performance with user-friendly features. This premium espresso maker is designed to cater to coffee aficionados and novices alike, providing an all-in-one solution for brewing café-quality espresso at home.

One of the standout features of the BES980 is its dual boiler system. This innovative design allows for simultaneous extraction of espresso and steam for frothing milk, eliminating wait times and ensuring optimal temperature control for both processes. The machine is equipped with a 15-bar Italian pump that guarantees consistent pressure during extraction, resulting in rich and flavorful espresso shots.

The Oracle incorporates advanced PID temperature control, which stabilizes the water temperature to within one degree for precise brewing. This technology ensures that the water is always at the optimal temperature for the specific coffee bean being used, allowing users to achieve the perfect balance of flavors in their espresso.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the BES980 is its integrated conical burr grinder. This grind-on-demand feature allows users to grind fresh coffee beans just before brewing, enhancing the overall taste and aroma of the espresso. The grinder offers customizable settings for burr size and grind time, enabling users to achieve their desired grind consistency.

The milk frothing capability of the BES980 is enhanced by its steam wand, which employs a smart frothing system. This technology measures the milk temperature and creates the ideal microfoam, allowing for latte art and velvety textures that rival coffee shop offerings. The machine also includes a pre-infusion function that gently soaks the coffee grounds before extraction, ensuring even saturation and improved flavor extraction.

In terms of user interface, the Oracle features a user-friendly LCD display that guides users through the brewing process. It offers programmability for shots and milk temperatures, allowing for personalized preferences. Additionally, the machine has a maintenance reminder system, which helps users keep track of cleaning and descaling schedules.

Overall, the Breville BES980 Oracle is a remarkable espresso machine that combines cutting-edge technology with thoughtful design. Its dual boiler system, precise temperature control, integrated grinder, and advanced milk frothing capabilities make it an exceptional choice for anyone looking to elevate their home coffee experience. With the BES980, brewing barista-quality espresso has never been more accessible.
