Adjusting Bottom Burr

The Conical Burrs are made of hardened 

Stainless Steel for extra-long life. However, 

after prolonged use, the Bottom Burr may 

require adjustment to compensate for wear. 

If the coffee grinds are too coarse when the 

Grind Setting is below 2 and the espresso 

is consistently under extracted, the Bottom 

Burr may need adjusting.

Contact Breville (details are on the back 

page) should you think that the Bottom Burr 

needs adjustment. 

Prior to contacting Breville Customer Care, 

please ensure that you are using freshly 

roasted beans and that the Top Burr is 

seated correctly. 

Important:

 Old coffee beans, no matter the 

Grind Setting, will have a fast extraction 

and will produce an under extracted tasting 

espresso.

Important:

 If the Top Burr is not seated 

correctly the Grinder will produce coarse 

coffee grinds. Grind off excess coffee 

beans and clean the Top Burr & Grind 

Chamber.

Note:

 Breville Customer Care may 

determine that Bottom Burr adjustment 

shims are required. Do not attempt to add 

shims without first consulting Breville.
