SPECIFIC

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR BES880

•It is recommended to plug

the espresso machine into

a properly grounded and

dedicated circuit, separate

from other electrical

appliances.

•Avoid contact with

moving parts.

•Check bean hopper

for presence of foreign

objects before using.

•Use only cold water in

the water tank. Do not

use any other liquids. Do

not use highly ﬁltered,

demineralized or distilled

water as this may affect

the taste of the coffee and

how the espresso machine

operates.

•Ensure the portaﬁlter

is ﬁrmly inserted and

secured into the group

head before starting an

extraction. Never remove

the portaﬁlter during the

extraction process.

•Use caution after milk

texturing as the auto

purge function will purge

hot steam when the steam

wand is lowered.

•Caution must be used

during descaling as hot

steam may be released.

Before descaling, turn

off the machine, allow

to cool for at least 1 hour

and ensure the drip tray is

empty and fully inserted.

For instructions, refer

to 'Descale', page 21.

•Do not attempt to open

or service the espresso

machine.

•For any maintenance

other than cleaning,

call Breville Consumer

Support or visit a Breville

Authorized Servicer.

SHORT CORD

INSTRUCTIONS

Your Breville appliance is

ﬁtted with a short power

cord to reduce personal

injury or property damage

resulting from pulling,

tripping or becoming

entangled with a longer

cord. Longer detachable

power cords or extension

cords are available and

may be used if care is

exercised. If an extension

cord is used, (1) the marked

electrical rating of the

cord set or extension cord

should be at least as great

as the electrical rating of

the appliance, (2) the cord

should be arranged so

that it will not drape over

the counter-top or table

where it can be pulled

on by children or tripped

over unintentionally and

(3) the extension cord

must include a 3-prong

grounding plug.

BREVILLE ASSIST®

PLUG

Your Breville appliance

comes with a unique

Assist®Plug, conveniently

designed with

a ﬁnger hole to ease

removal from the power

outlet.

Features

Assembly

BEFORE FIRST USE

Machine Preparation

Remove and discard all labels and packaging

materials attached to your espresso machine.

Ensure you have removed all parts and

accessories before discarding the packaging.

Remove the packaging and the plastics bags

containing the water ﬁlter and water ﬁlter

holder. Clean parts and accessories (water tank,

portaﬁlter, ﬁlter basket, jug) using warm water

and a gentle dish washing liquid. Rinse well

then dry thoroughly.

INSTALLING THE WATER FILTER

• Remove the water ﬁlter and water ﬁlter holder

from the plastic bag.

• Soak the ﬁlter in cold water for 5 minutes.

• Wash the ﬁlter holder with cold water.

• Set the reminder for next month of

replacement. We recommend to replace the

ﬁlter after 3 months.

• Insert the ﬁlter into the two parts of the ﬁlter

holder.

• To install the assembled filter holder into the

water tank, align the base of the ﬁlter holder

with the adapter inside the water tank.

Push down to lock into place.

• Fill the water tank with cold water before

sliding back into position at the back of the

machine and locking into place.

NOTE

Replacing the water ﬁlter after three months

or 10.6 USgal / 40L will reduce the need to

descale the machine. Filter can be purchased

at Breville webpage.

NOTE

DO NOT use highly ﬁltered, demineralised or

distilled water in this machine. This may affect

the taste of the coffee.

Functions

FIRST USE

1. Press POWER button to turn the

machine on.

2. Follow the instructions on screen to guide

you through ﬁrst use setup.

3. After completing setup, the machine will

tell that it is ready to use.

GuideExit

Your Barista Touch is now ready

Select the guide to find out more about your Barista Touch

or exit to proceed to your drink selection

The machine is now in STANDBY mode.

4. Touch "Guide" and the machine will guide

you step by step to make your ﬁrst coffee.

Touch the and go to the Drinks Menu or

<to repeat the Setup. To repeat the Guide at

any time, go to Settings Menu.

NOTE

If your water hardness is either 4 or 5 when

tested, we strongly recommend you change to

an alternate water source.

Filtered, bottled spring or mineral water will

extend both the life of your built-in filter and

descale intervals as well as superior taste.

Please ensure to test the water hardness of the

alternative water source you've chosen and

input into the machine accordingly. Avoid

using overly filtered water, like RO water

unless some mineral content is being added

back to the ﬁnal water. Never use distilled

water, or water with no or low mineral content

as this will affect both the taste.

GRINDING OPERATION

Insert bean hopper into position on-top of the

machine. Turn dial to lock into place.

Fill hopper with fresh beans.

TIP

We recommend quality 100% Arabica beans

with a 'Roasted On' date stamped on the bag,

not a 'Best Before' or 'Use By' date. Coffee beans

are best consumed between 5–20 days after

the 'Roasted On' date. Stale coffee may pour too

quickly from the portaﬁlter spouts and taste

bitter and watery.
