Temp° IQ Shot Control™

Optimum temperature

The Temp° IQ Shot Control™ is an 

exclusive technology developed by Breville 

for your Barista Max. This 3 way system 

delivers the accurate & stable water 

temperature that is needed for consistently 

great tasting coffee.

•  

Thermoblock Technology

 

The Thermoblock ensures fast heat 

up, and precise water temperature for 

the best espresso extraction & milk 

steaming. Only the required amount 

of water is heated for speed and 

ef

fi

 ciency. The Thermoblock heats 

water so that espresso extracts at 92°C 

for the optimum extraction of oils from 

the tamped coffee grinds. Temperatures 

above or below will result in burnt/bitter 

or weak tasting espresso.

•  

 Advanced PID Controller

 

The PID monitors and controls the 

Thermoblock to ensure water is always 

delivered to tamped coffee grinds at the 

precise temperature needed.

•  

Gentle Pre-infusion

 

Small amounts of water are gently 

introduced onto the tamped coffee 

grinds prior to the steady 

fl

 ow of water, 

for a richer 

fl

 avoured espresso. (For 

different Pre-infusion pro

fi

 les, see page 

23)

Café 58mm 
Group Head & Handle

Extract the maximum amount of flavour 

The Group Head and the Group Handle 

are commercial sized, 58mm, just like local 

café.

•  

The wider size ensures the coffee 

grinds are more evenly spread in the 

Filter Baskets. The coffee grinds are 

easier to 

fi

 ll, tamp and remove after 

use. 

•  

The 58mm Group Handle allows a more 

even extraction of the tamped coffee 

grinds, resulting in a true café tasting 

coffee.

Tap&Go™ 
Integrated Grinder

Easy on-demand grinding 

experience

•  

Tap&Go™ Technology

 

The Tap&Go™ on-demand grinding 

technology developed by Breville 

delivers coffee grinds directly into the 

Group Handle with one touch. Simply 

push down on the Group Handle to 

activate the Grinder. 

•  

Conical Burr Grinder

 

The integrated Grinder offers all-in-one 

grinding experience. The hardened 

Stainless Steel Conical Burr achieves 

consistent grind particle sizes, which 

minimises heat transfer & reduces 

friction due to its gentle & slow rotation.

•  

Bean Hopper

 

The 250g Hopper features anti-spill 

gates which prevents coffee beans 

from escaping onto the benchtop when 

removing. The on-board Grinder offers 

all-in-one grinding experience with 

Grinder integrated in the Espresso 

Machine. 

Auto Shot & Customisable

Volumetric Control

Right quantity of espresso in your cup

•  

Auto Shot is the easiest way to create 

a great espresso. Press the ONE or 

TWO CUP BUTTONS to pour the right 

amount.

•  

All Extraction Buttons can be 

customised to deliver the shot volumes 

preferred. For more information, see 

pages 20-21.

Customisable
Extraction Temperature

Temperature just like you want

•  

The Barista Max allows water 

temperature to be changed from the 

recommended 92°C (in 2°C increments) 

to cater for personal preferences. (For 

more information, see page 22)
