8.When sufficient coffee has flowed into the cups, set the selector control to the ‘STAND BY’ position. This will stop the flow of coffee.
9.If you do not need to use the steam function, set the power switch to the ‘STAND BY’ position, unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool.
10.Remove the filter holder from the brew head and turn the filter holder upside down to empty the used coffee (used coffee grounds should be thrown away with domestic waste and not down the sink which may block drains). Rinse the filter and filter holder with water and allow to dry.
NOTE:
The machine remains ready for brewing and maintains a constant heating temperature as long as the Power switch is left in the ‘On’ position. If the temperature should drop, the orange control light will illuminate and the heater will automatically heat up to the correct brewing temperature.
Preparing Espresso Pods
Your Café Modena can be used with most leading brands of espresso pods. To prepare the pod for brewing, place the pod in the pod filter and ensure that all of the pod’s surface area is fitted inside the filter. If the edges of the pod overflow the filter, you will need to trim them off until the pod is contained wholly within the filter. Lock the filter holder in place and brew the coffee as per the instructions on page 10.
NOTE:
The quality of the coffee and créma produced will be dependent on the type of pod used. Only use the pod filter when using the espresso pods.
How to Froth Milk for a Cappuccino or Latte
The Breville Café Modena comes complete with steam wand and frothing attachment.
If less froth is required, remove the Frothing Attachment and steam the milk using the Steam Wand. To remove the Frothing Attachment, ensure it is cool, then simply pull down and remove.
To refit the Frothing Attachment ensure it is securely attached to the Steam Wand by inserting it onto the Steam Wand and pushing firmly upwards.
The first step in making a cappuccino or latté is to make a short espresso (see "Brewing Coffee"), then:
1.Fill the stainless steel frothing jug 1⁄3 full with cold milk.
2.When the orange 'HEATING' light has turned off, quickly insert the steam wand into the jug of the milk so that the Frothing Attachement is just immersed into the milk.
3.Set the Selector Control to the ‘STEAM’ position.
