COFFEE MAKING TIPS & PREPARATION  
dual Wall Filter Baskets  
PRE-HEATING  
Use Dual Wall filter baskets if using  
pre-ground coffee.  
Dual Wall filter baskets regulate the  
pressure and help to optimise the  
extraction regardless of the grind, dose,  
tamp pressure or freshness.  
COFFEE MAKING TIPS  
Heating your cup or glass  
A warm cup will help maintain the coffee’s  
optimal temperature. Preheat your cup by  
rinsing with hot water from the Hot Water  
outlet and place on the cup warming tray.  
& PREPARATION  
for your Breville Dual Boiler™  
Heating the portafilter and filter basket  
A cold portafilter and filter basket can  
reduce the extraction temperature enough  
to significantly affect the quality of your  
espresso. Always ensure the portafilter and  
filter basket are preheated with hot water  
from the Hot Water outlet before initial use.  
Use the 1 cup filter basket when brewing  
single cups and the 2 cup filter basket  
when brewing two cups, stronger single  
cups or mugs.  
NOTE  
Always wipe the filter and filter holder  
dry before dosing with ground coffee  
as moisture can encourage ‘channeling’  
where water by-passes the ground  
coffee during extraction.  
THE GRINd  
If grinding coffee beans, the grind size  
should be fine but not too fine. The grind  
size will affect the rate at which the water  
flows through the ground coffee in the filter  
basket and the taste of the espresso.  
If the grind is too fine (looks like powder  
and feels like flour when rubbed between  
fingers), the water will not flow through  
the coffee even when under pressure.  
The resulting espresso will be OVER  
EXTRACTED, dark in colour and bitter  
in flavour  
SELECTING FILTER BASKET  
Single Wall Filter Baskets  
Use Single Wall filter baskets if grinding  
fresh whole coffee beans.  
Single Wall filter baskets allow you to  
experiment with grind, dose and tamp to  
create a more balanced espresso.  
If the grind is too coarse the water will  
flow through the ground coffee in the filter  
basket too quickly. The resulting espresso  
will be under extracted lacking in colour  
and flavour.

COFFEE MAKING TIPS & PREPARATION  
COFFEE dOSE ANd TAMPING INSERTING THE PORTAFILTER  
COFFEE MAKING TIPS & PREPARATION  
Insert the steam tip 1-2cm below  
the surface of the milk close to the  
right hand side of the jug at the  
3 o’clock position.  
Tap the jug on the bench to collapse  
any bubbles.  
Place the portafilter underneath the group  
head so that the handle is aligned with  
the INSERT position. Insert the portafilter  
into the group head and rotate the handle  
towards the centre until resistance is felt.  
Wipe coffee basket with a dry cloth.  
Swirl the jug to “polish” and re-integrate  
the texture.  
If using Single Wall filter baskets, grind  
just enough coffee to fill the coffee  
basket. You may need to experiment  
with how long the grinder needs to run  
to achieve the correct dose.  
Lift the steam lever.  
Pour milk directly into the espresso.  
Keep the tip just under the surface of the  
milk until the milk is spinning clockwise,  
producing a vortex (whirlpool effect).  
The key is to work quickly, before the  
milk begins to separate.  
ExTRACTING ESPRESSO  
Tap the portafilter several times to  
distribute the coffee evenly in the  
filter basket.  
With the milk spinning, slowly lower the  
jug. This will bring the steam tip to the  
surface of the milk & start to introduce  
air into the milk. You may have to gently  
break the surface of the milk with the tip  
to get the milk spinning fast enough.  
Place pre-warmed cup(s) beneath the  
portafilter and press the 1 CUP or  
2 CUP button for the required volume.  
HINTS & TIPS  
Tamp down firmly (using approx.  
15-20kgs of pressure). The amount  
of pressure is not as important as  
consistent pressure every time.  
Always use freshly ground coffee  
for a superior flavour and body.  
Use freshly roasted coffee beans,  
with a ‘roasted on’ date and use  
within 2 weeks of ‘roasted on’ date.  
Store coffee beans in a cool,  
dark and dry container. Vacuum  
seal if possible.  
Buy coffee beans in small batches  
to reduce the storage time and store  
no more than one weeks supply at  
any time.  
As a guide, the espresso will start  
to flow after 8-10 seconds (infusion  
time) and should be the consistency  
of dripping honey.  
Keep the tip at or slightly below the  
surface, continuing to maintain the  
vortex. Texture the milk until sufficient  
volume is obtained.  
If the espresso starts to flow after less  
than 6 seconds you have either under  
dosed the filter basket and/or the  
grind is too coarse. This is an  
Lift the handle of the jug to lower the tip  
beneath the surface, but keep the vortex  
of milk spinning. The milk is at the  
correct temperature (60-65°C) when the  
jug is hot to touch.  
UNDER-EXTRACTED shot.  
If the espresso starts to drip but doesn’t  
flow after 15 seconds, then you have  
either over dosed the filter basket  
and/or the grind is too fine. This is an  
OVER-EXTRACTED shot.  
Move the steam lever to the CLOSED  
position BEFORE taking the tip out of  
the milk.  
Grind beans immediately before  
brewing as ground coffee quickly  
loses its flavour and aroma.  
As a guide to dose, the top edge of the  
metal cap on the tamper should be level  
with the top of the filter basket after the  
coffee has been tamped.  
A great espresso is about achieving the  
perfect balance between sweetness, acidity  
and bitterness.  
The flavour of your coffee will depend on  
many factors, such as the type of coffee  
beans, degree of roast, freshness, coarseness
