preparing the coffee  
Brewing the coffee  
The Breville Café Modena Espresso/  
Cappuccino Machine remains ready for  
brewing and maintains a constant heating  
temperature whilst the Power ‘ON/OFF’  
switch remains in the ‘ON’ position. If  
the temperature decreases, the orange  
‘HEATING’ light will illuminate and the  
heater will automatically heat to maintain  
the correct brewing temperature.  
Place the 1 or 2 cup filter into the filter holder and  
fill with ground coffee (use the smaller filter for 1  
cup and the larger filter for 2 cups).  
Ensure the Selector Control is in the ‘STANDBy’  
position.  
Place the filter retainer clip in the release position,  
by pulling the clip back towards your hand.  
Insert the power plug into a 230/240V power outlet  
and switch on.  
Use 1 level measure of ground coffee for the  
1 cup filter and 2 level measures for the 2 cup  
filter. It is important to use the correct amount of  
ground coffee as the filter perforations have been  
constructed for optimal pressure build up in  
the machine.  
Press the Power ‘ON/OFF’ switch to ‘ON’. The red  
‘POWER’ light and the orange ‘HEATING’ light will  
illuminate. The orange ‘HEATING’ light goes off  
when the machine is heated.  
Note  
Ensure the drip tray is in place.  
Position one or two pre-heated cups beneath the  
filter holder.  
How to froth milk for a cappuccino or  
latte  
Place the filer holder underneath the brew head so  
that the handle is positioned to the left of centre.  
Lift the filter holder until it contacts the brew head  
and rotate to the right.  
Turn the Selector Control to the  
position.  
‘ESPRESSO’  
The Breville Café Modena Espresso/Cappuccino  
Machine comes complete with a steam wand for  
easier steaming and frothing of milk. The first step in  
making a cappuccino/latte is to make a short espresso  
(see ‘Brewing the coffee’). Then:  
After a few seconds, aromatic coffee will begin  
to run through the filter holder.  
When sufficient coffee has flowed into the cups,  
turn the Selector Control to the ‘STANDBy’ position.  
This will stop the flow of coffee.  
Fill the stainless steel frothing jug 1⁄  
full with  
3
cold milk.  
If the ‘STEAM’ function is not required, press the  
Power ‘ON/OFF’ switch to ‘OFF’, switch off at the  
power outlet, unplug the power cord and allow the  
machine to cool.  
When the orange ‘HEATING’ light goes off, insert  
the steam wand, with the froth enhancer attached,  
into jug of milk so that the head of the froth  
enhancer is just immersed into the milk.  
Distribute the ground coffee evenly in the filter  
and tamp (press) lightly with the bottom of the  
measuring spoon (if there is too much ground  
coffee or too firmly tamped, the flow of water can  
be blocked).  
Remove the filter holder from the brew head and  
using the filter retainer clip to secure the filter in  
the filter holder, turn the filter holder upside down  
to empty the used coffee into a bin. 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.  
THE METAL PARTS OF THE FILTER HOLDER MAY STILL BE VERY HOT. COOL THESE  
PARTS UNDER COLD WATER. ENSURE THE FILTER RETAINER CLIP IS USED TO SECURE  
FILTER WHEN DISCARDING THE COFFEE GROUNDS.

tips on making the perfect espresso  
the grind  
Turn the selector control to the  
position.  
‘STEAM’  
Always ensure that the froth enhancer has  
been firmly inserted onto the steam wand.  
For best results use fresh cold milk (lite  
milk will froth easier).  
Always clean the steam wand and froth  
enhancer after each use (refer to Care and  
cleaning on Page 12).  
Use the steam wand without the froth  
enhancer if steamed milk without the froth  
is required.  
Don’t just rely on your coffee machine to do all the  
work. Making a good cup of coffee is an art.  
If using pre-ground coffee, purchase an espresso  
grind suitable for espresso/cappuccino machines.  
Gently move the frothing jug in a circular motion  
around the froth enhancer to steam the milk.  
If grinding coffee, select a fine grind setting  
suitable for espresso coffee.  
Water flow  
When the milk begins to increase in volume,  
immerse the froth enhancer deeper into the milk to  
further froth the milk, if required.  
If you’re making an espresso, make sure the water  
flows through the coffee filter at the correct rate. If  
it’s too slow, the coffee will be over-extracted – too  
dark and bitter, with a mottled and uneven crema on  
top. If it flows too quickly, the coffee will be under-  
extracted – the proper flavour will not have had  
time to develop. Adjust the water flow by tamping  
(pressing down) the ground coffee firmly or by  
changing the grind of the coffee.  
If the grind is too fine, the water will not flow  
through the coffee even under pressure (this grind  
looks like powder and feels like flour when rubbed  
between fingers).  
To avoid over-heating or burning the milk, place  
your hand on the bottom of the stainless frothing  
jug. When the jug becomes almost too hot to touch,  
turn the selector control to the ‘STANDBy’ position  
to stop the steaming function before removing the  
jug.  
If brewing more coffee immediately  
after using the ‘STEAM’ function, turn  
If the grind is too coarse, the water flows  
through the coffee too fast, preventing a full  
flavoured extraction.  
the Selector Control to the  
‘ESPRESSO’  
position and allow a small amount of water  
to run through the brew head for a few  
seconds without the filter holder in place.  
This will prepare the machine for optimal  
brewing temperature.  
When steaming milk a pumping should will  
be heard. This is the pump operating and is  
normal.  
As the Selector Control is turned to the  
‘STANDBY’ position, steam will be released  
from the machine. This is normal operation.  
the coffee  
Pre-ground coffee will only retain its flavour for  
1 week, provided it is stored in an air tight  
container, in a cool, dark area.  
Note  
Whole coffee beans are recommended and should  
be ground just before use.  
Note  
Coffee beans stored in an airtight container will  
keep up to 1 month before they begin to lose their  
flavour.  
Carefully pour the steamed milk into each cup  
of freshly brewed espresso coffee and spoon the  
frothed milk on top in the following ratios:

WHEN FROTHING, MILK SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN OVER THE TOP OF THE  
FROTH ENHANCER, OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.  
TO AVOID SPLATTERING OF HOT MILK, DO NOT MOVE THE STEAM WAND OR FROTH  
ENHANCER ABOVE THE SURFACE OF THE MILK WHILE STEAMING OR FROTHING.  
WHEN STEAMING OR FROTHING MILK, ENSURE THE SELECTOR CONTROL IS IN THE  
‘STANDBY’ POSITION BEFORE REMOVING THE FROTHING JUG.

Care and cleaning  
Before cleaning, ensure the Selector Control is in the  
‘STANDBy’ position and press the Power ‘ON/OFF’  
switch to ‘OFF’. Switch off at the power outlet, then  
unplug the power cord and allow the coffee machine  
to cool completely before cleaning.  
Cleaning the drip tray  
decalcifying the machine  
The drip tray should be removed, emptied and  
cleaned at regular intervals, particularly when the  
water level indicator shows that the drip tray is full.  
Ensure the Selector Control is in the ‘STANDBy’  
position and the Power ‘ON/OFF’ switch is pressed  
to ‘OFF’. Switch off at the power outlet and unplug  
the power cord.  
Remove the grid, steam baffle and water level  
indicator from the drip tray, wash all 4 parts with  
water and non-abrasive washing liquid before  
rinsing and drying.  
Remove the filter holder and pour the prepared  
decalcifying solution into the water tank.  
Cleaning the steam wand & froth  
enhancer  
Insert the power cord at the outlet and switch on.  
Press the Power ‘ON/OFF’ switch to the ‘ON’.  
The steam wand and froth enhancer should always  
be cleaned after steaming or frothing milk.  
Do not place any parts of the Espresso/  
Cappuccino machine in the dishwasher.  
Remove the froth enhancer and rinse under warm  
tap water.  
Place a suitably large container under both the  
brew head and the steam wand.  
Cleaning the filters, filter holder

and brew head  
Immediately after use, remove the filter holder and  
discard the used ground coffee. Rinse the stainless  
steel filters and filter holder under hot running  
water. Should the fine holes in the filters become  
blocked, then a clean, plastic dishwashing  
brush should be used (do not use a brush with  
metal bristles).  
decalcifying  
Turn the Selector Control to the  
position and allow half the decalcifying solution to  
run through the brew head.  
‘ESPRESSO’  
After regular use, hard water can cause limestone  
build up in, and on, many of the inner functioning  
components, reducing the brewing flow, power  
of the machine, and affecting the quality of coffee.  
Turn the Selector Control to the  
‘STEAM’  
position and allow the remaining solution run  
through the steam wand. Then turn the Selector  
Control to the ‘STANDBy’ position.  
We advise decalcifying the machine on a regular  
basis (every 2-3 months) using a mixture of white  
vinegar and water. Use the following as a guide:  
The brew head area should be wiped with a damp  
cloth to remove any remaining used ground coffee.  
After decalcifying, re-fill the water tank with fresh  
cold water and rinse the machine by following the  
instructions for decalcifying and running half the  
water through the brew head and half through the  
steam wand.  
diluted solution (for softer water)  
1 part white vinegar  
It is advisable to periodically run water through  
the coffee machine with an empty filter and filter  
holder in place to remove any used ground coffee.  
Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth.  
Place a clean jug or cup under the steam wand  
then turn the Selector Control briefly to the  
‘STEAM’ position to clear any remaining milk  
from the steam wand.  
2 parts cold tap water  
Cleaning the housing/cup warming tray  
The machine is now ready for use.  
Concentrated solution (for harder water)  
1 part white vinegar  
The outer housing can be wiped with a soft, damp  
cloth (do not use abrasive agents or cloths which  
can scratch the surfaces), then polished and dried  
with a soft, dry cloth.  
If the fine opening of the steam wand becomes  
blocked, allow the machine to cool and use a  
needle or fine sharp implement to unblock the  
opening.  
The stainless steel filters should not come  
in contact with any decalcifying agents.  
1 part cold tap water  
Do not use commercial powder or liquid  
decalcifying agents.  
Note  
THE WATER TANK SHOULD NEVER BE REMOVED OR COMPLETELY EMPTIED DURING  
DECALCIFYING.
