Breville THE BARISTA EXPRESS BES860XL - Manuel (Page 9)

FEATURES OF YOUR BREVILLE BARISTA EXPRESS (continued)
PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTION
The Barista Express offers a convenient choice
between preset shot sizes (1oz or 2oz), manual
function (over-rides preset shot size for one
time only) or a programmable function that
reprograms the preset shot sizes with the user’s
preferred shot size.
ESPRESSO PRESSURE GAUGE
The espresso pressure gauge assists in
obtaining the most favorable extraction
pressure, guiding the user to create their ideal
espresso. This is achieved by measuring the
pressure at which the water is being forced
through the ground espresso in the portafilter.
The ideal position of the gauge needle is
anywhere within the ESPRESSO RANGE.
Refer to the provided Extraction Guide or
page 45 for tips on how to achieve the most
favorable extraction.
COMMERCIAL STYLE STEAM WAND
The swivel-action steam wand with stainless
steel frothing attachment easily adjusts to the
perfect position for texturing milk. The wand has
a commercial style 360° ball joint.
ACCURATE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Breville digital technology provides accurate
temperature control for a full flavored espresso.
DRY PUCK FEATURE
The ‘Dry Puck’ feature uses an electronic
valve to remove excess water from the ground
espresso in the filter. This takes place after
espresso extraction whilst the portafilter is
locked into the group head. This results in a
desirable ‘dry espresso puck’ which can then
be disposed of easily and cleanly.
NOTE: While the Pressure Gauge is a
great guide to the quality of the
extraction, the best indicator is the
look and taste of the espresso.
