Introduction

The Breville Barista Pro is designed to deliver third wave specialty coffee at home, integrating a precision conical burr grinder and an innovative ThermoJet heating system for rapid heat-up. This manual provides essential information for setting up, operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting your espresso machine to ensure optimal performance and a balanced tasting cup every time.

Setup

Before first use, ensure all packaging materials are removed. Place the machine on a flat, stable surface. Fill the water tank and bean hopper.

Initial Preparation:

• Water Filter Installation: Install the water filter into the water tank to reduce impurities and prevent scale buildup.
• Filling the Water Tank: Fill the 67 oz water tank with fresh, cold water.
• Filling the Bean Hopper: Add fresh coffee beans to the 1/2 lb bean hopper.
• Power On: Connect the machine to a 120 Volts power outlet and press the POWER button. The innovative ThermoJet heating system achieves the optimum extraction temperature in 3 seconds.

2. Precise Espresso Extraction:

The digital temperature control (PID) ensures water is delivered at the right temperature (+/- 2°C) for optimal extraction. Low pressure pre-infusion gradually increases pressure, drawing out flavors evenly. Use the 1 or 2 Cup Volumetric Control for consistent shot volumes.
