Helpful Tips for Steaming Milk:
1. Insert the milk frothing wand
tip just below the surface of the
milk.
2. Position the milk frothing wand
and milk pitcher or cup at an
angle that allows the milk to
move in a whirlpool pattern.
3. As the milk level rises, lower the
milk pitcher or cup to keep the
milk frothing wand tip just below
the surface.
4. When the desired texture is
achieved, immerse the milk
frothing wand half way.
Cool Down Cycle
After steaming, the unit will be too hot to
immediately make coffee again. The brew
button indicator light will flash rapidly when
pressed, and the unit will not dispense
if the Control dial is moved to the brew
position. The unit can be left to cool
naturally for a few minutes, or the following
procedure performed.
1. Ensure Control dial is in the off position
2. Place an empty milk pitcher or mug on
the worktop, ensuring the end of the
steam wand is well inside.
3. Press the brew button, the indicator
light will be flashing to indicate the unit
is over temperature
4. Move the Control dial clockwise to the
steam position, Steam will begin to
dispense.
5. The unit automatically starts its cool
down cycle, the pump will operate in
pulses passing shots of steam then
water through the steam wand. the
full cycle will last approximately 40
seconds
6. Once the unit has cooled sufficiently
the brew button indicator light will
illuminate solidly, and water will stop
being dispensed from the steam wand.
7. Turn the Control dial to the ‘Standby’
position.
8. The machine is now ready to make
your next espresso.
Hot Water Dispenser
Your Breville Bijou Espresso machine can
dispense hot water from the steam wand
for use when making long coffee drinks.
1. Place you cup with your espresso shot
in on the worktop and place the end of
the steam wand inside.
2. Press the Brew button, and ensure the
indicator light is solid and the unit is
ready to use.
3. Turn the Control dial clockwise to the
steam/hot water position. Hot water will
be dispensed from the steam wand.
4. When the desired amount of hot water
has been dispensed turn the dial to the
‘Standby’ position.
ROUTINE CLEANING
Make sure your Breville Bijou Espresso
machine is unplugged and has cooled
completely before cleaning. We
recommend hand washing all parts to help
preserve their appearance. Do not immerse
the main body of the appliance, power cord
and plug in water or any other liquid.
Espresso
1. When you have completed your
espresso, remove the portafilter ready
to discard the espresso grounds. Flip
the ‘filter retainer clip’ located in the
handle to hook over the edge of the
filter, holding it in place as you discard
espresso grounds. This helps keep
the filter secured and in place whilst
knocking out the ‘cake’ of espresso
grounds.
2. Remove the filter from the espresso
portafilter by twisting the filter until the
bump is aligned with the notch. Wash
the filter and the espresso portafilter
with water and mild liquid soap.
3. Place the filter back into the espresso
portafilter and insert the espresso
portafilter back into the Breville Bijou
Espresso machine. Follow the same
steps for brewing espresso, but with no
espresso in the filter. Discard the water
in the cup.
4. Remove the espresso portafilter from
the unit and dry thoroughly.
NOTE:
The espresso portafilter is NOT
dishwasher safe.
Milk Frothing Wand
1. With a damp cloth, wipe down the
metal on the milk frothing wand.
The end of the steam wand can be
unscrewed for cleaning if required.
2. Fill water tank and place a jug under
the milk frothing wand.
3. Press the steam button, wait for the
indicator light to illuminate solidly
then perform the ‘cool down cycle’ as
described elsewhere in the manual.
The rubber steam wand cover can be
removed for cleaning if required. Simply
unscrew the end of the steam wand,
and slide the rubber cover off the wand.
It may be advantageous to use water
as a lubricant to help the rubber cover
slide along the length of the shaft.
Emptying the Drip Tray
1. When the drip tray becomes full,
carefully slide the drip tray out from
the Breville Bijou Espresso machine,
remove the drip tray cover, and discard
the water.
2. Place the drip tray cover back on the
drip tray and slide it into the unit.
DESCALING
After continued use, your Breville Bijou
Espresso machine may develop a build-up
of mineral deposits, and therefore require
descaling.
We recommend descaling your unit every
4-6 months, although this period will
depend on the hardness of water and
frequency of use.
IMPORTANT:
If the descaling process is
not completed or stopped part way through
any of the descaling steps, then you will
need to start the descaling process again
from the beginning.
Descaling:
1. In an empty water tank, add 2.5
tablespoons of white vinegar. Add 1.5L
of water to the water tank. Allow the
solution to mix thoroughly.
2. Place the water tank into position.
3. Insert either filter into the espresso
portafilter and insert into the Breville
Bijou Espresso machine, without coffee
in it.
4. Place a large jug or bowl on the drip
tray cover.
5. Turn ON the unit and press the brew
button. Wait for the button indicator
light to illuminate solidly.
6. Turn the control dial to the “brew”
position.
7. Water will be dispensed continuously
for 60 seconds, the unit will then
automatically stop dispensing.
8. Turn the control dial back to the
‘Standby’ position, discard the water.
9. Place a large jug or bowl on the drip
tray and insert steam wand.
10. Ensure the brew button has been
pressed and is illuminating solidly.
11. Move the control dial clockwise to the
steam position.
12. Water will dispense continuously for
60 seconds, the unit will then stop
dispensing.
13. Turn the control dial back to the
‘standby’ position, discard the water.
14. Rinse the water tank, and espresso
portafilter assembly with warm water
and mild liquid soap.
15. Refill water tank to Max with clean
water and repeat from step 2.
