Operating your Breville Ikon Espresso Machine

Step 6 - Brewing the coffee
•
The 3 function buttons will illuminate once the
machine has reached the correct temperature.
•
Ensure the drip tray is in place.
•
Place one or two pre-heated cups beneath the filter
holder outlet.
•
Press the
button momentarily.
•
After a few seconds*, aromatic coffee will begin to
brew into the cups. A pumping noise will be heard
in this operation.
*Pre-brew function
When the
button is pressed momentarily, the
boiler heating system pumps water briefly, followed
by a pause, then continues to pump the water
through to the ground coffee in the Filter Holder. This
pre-brew function is an advanced feature of the Ikon
Espresso Machine. The ground coffee is moistened by
a small amount of water before full extraction. The
ground coffee expands and when greater pressure is
built up, the brewed coffee is extracted with its full
flavour. To skip this function when brewing coffee,
hold down the
button, rather than pressing
momentarily.
•
When sufficient coffee has flowed into the cups,
press the
button again. This will stop the flow
of coffee.
•
If the steam function is not required, press the
power
button to switch off, switch off at the
power outlet, unplug the power cord and allow the
machine to cool.
Step 7 – Emptying the Filter Holder
•
Remove the Filter Holder from the Brew Head by
turning the Filter Holder to the left until it releases.
Turn the Filter Holder upside down to empty the
used coffee (used coffee grounds should be thrown
away with domestic waste and not down the sink
which may block drains). Remove the filter by
pressing the ‘Eject’ Button on the underside of the
Filter Holder (Fig 9). Rinse both the filter and filter
holder with water and allow to dry.
The machine remains ready for brewing and
maintains a constant heating temperature whilst
the Power
button is illuminated.
Note
How to froth milk for a cappuccino or latté
The Breville Ikon Espresso Machine comes complete
with a Froth Enhancer for easier frothing of milk.
When less froth is required, remove the Froth
Enhancer and steam the milk using the Steam Wand.
To remove the Froth Enhancer, ensure it is cool then
simply pull down and remove (Fig 10). The Frothing
Attachment can be stored in the Storage Tray inside
the machine if not used regularly.
To refit the Froth Enhancer, ensure it is securely
attached to the Steam Wand by inserting it, from
either end opening, onto the Wand and pushing it
firmly upwards onto the rubber surround (Fig 10).
The first step in making a cappuccino/latté is to make
a short espresso (Follow steps on “Brewing Coffee”
on page 9). Then:
•
Fill the stainless steel frothing jug
1
⁄
3
full with
cold milk.
•
Press the
button momentarily and direct steam
wand into drip tray. Turn the steam control dial on
the side of the machine towards the ‘MAX’ position.
This will drain any residual water before the boiler
begins to generate steam. The
light will start
to flash indicating that the Boiler Heating System is
heating and preparing to create steam.
Although not essential, for maximum
steaming pressure it is recommended to wait
approximately 30 seconds for
light to stop
flashing before turning the steam control dial
towards the ‘MAX’ position.
Note
•
Turn Steam Control Dial to the ‘OFF’ position,
insert the steam wand into the milk jug and then
turn the Steam Control Dial towards the ‘MAX’
position (Fig 11).
•
Gently move the frothing jug in a circular motion
around the froth enhancer.
The Ikon Espresso Machine features a Swivel
Steam Wand so the position of the Steam Wand
can be changed to a comfortable angle.
That’s the idea™
•
When the milk has begun to increase in volume,
immerse the froth enhancer deeper into the milk
to further heat the milk.
•
Place your hand on the bottom of the stainless
steel frothing jug.
THE METAL PARTS OF THE FILTER HOLDER MIGHT STILL BE VERY HOT. ALWAYS COOL THE FILTER
HOLDER WITH COLD WATER BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE FILTERS.
