TExTURING MILK
The Breville Barista Express™ comes
complete with a commercial style steam
wand and stainless steel frothing attachment.
TExTURING MILK USING THE
FROTHING ATTACHMENT
The frothing attachment can be used to
easily froth a large amount of milk.
Ensure the frothing attachment is
securely attached to the steam wand by
inserting it from either end onto the steam
wand and pushing firmly upwards onto the
rubber surround.
To remove the frothing attachment, ensure
it is cool and simply pull down and remove.
The frothing attachment can be stored in
the storage tray if not used.
WARNING
Milk should not be allowed to run over
the top of the frothing attachment,
otherwise it will not function properly.
To avoid splattering of hot milk, do not
lift the end of the frothing attachment
above the surface of the milk while
frothing. Ensure the STEAM DIAL
is in the STANDBY position before
removing the frothing jug.
TExTURING MILK WITHOUT THE
FROTHING ATTACHMENT
If you prefer a creamier, silkier texture,
remove the frothing attachment from the
steam wand before texturing.
USING THE STEAM dIAL
•
Turn the STEAM selector dial to the
steam position. The red steam light will
flash to indicate the machine is heating
to create steam.
•
When the steam light stops flashing the
steam wand is ready for use.
•
Before inserting the wand into the milk,
pause the steam by returning the dial
back to the STANDBy position. This will
avoid the milk splashing out of the jug
[this pause function lasts for 6 seconds
before exiting steam mode.].
•
Insert the wand into the milk and heat.
•
To stop, return the steam dial to the
STANDBy position and remove the jug.
NOTE
When the espresso machine creates
steam, a pumping noise can be heard.
This is the normal operation of the 15
bar Italian pump.
NOTE
After 5 minutes of continuous
steaming, the machine will
automatically disable the steam
function. The steam light will flash.
When this occurs return the steam
dial to the STANDBY position.
AUTO PURGE
For extracting espresso immediately after
using the steam function, this machine
features an auto-purge function.
The auto purge function ensures the
ground coffee will not be burnt by the
initial water flow from the thermocoil being
too hot. The water is automatically released
internally into the drip tray ensuring that
the thermocoil is at optimal temperature
for extracting coffee.
your coffee will always be extracted at the
optimal temperature ensuring only the best
flavoured espresso is extracted.
