Let's take a look at the setup and first use of the Dual Boiler.

Enjoying third wave specialty coffee is made possible using the Four Keys formula, found inside every Breville espresso machine, just like this one.

Full bodied espresso with rich and complex flavors is created using the ideal dose of 18 to 22 grams of freshly ground beans.

With the brew water temperature delivered at precisely 200 degrees Fahrenheit, just like a commercial machine, you'll also need the right pressure during the extraction.

And this time, bigger is definitely not better. We start with low pressure pre-infusion, followed by a high pressure 9 bar extraction process delivered via our 15 bar Italian pump and an overpressure valve.

And last but not least, powerful steam pressure at 260 degrees Fahrenheit is essential for creating shiny, silky microphone that has a rich, velvety mouthfeel.

Without microphone, latte art is impossible. Right, now let's wash all the parts and accessories and dry thoroughly before use.

Put the filter in water for 5 minutes.

Set the new filter to the current month. Pop it into the filter holder.

Fit the holder snugly into the bottom of the tank and fill with cold water.

Check your water hardness by dipping this test strip into the water tank.

You'll use this info shortly. Now place the water tank into the machine.

Choose the right filter basket for the coffee you're making. Use a 2 cup filter basket when making 2 coffees or when you want a stronger coffee.

On the other hand, if you are making a single cup or a weaker coffee, use the 1 cup filter basket.

You might have noticed there are both single and dual wall filter baskets with your machine.

When your coffee beans are at their peak of 5 to 30 days out of roast, use the single wall filter basket.

But if they're older than 30 days or the bag has a best before or use by date, use the dual wall filter basket.

Now let's power it up. Press the power button to switch the machine on.

A pumping sound will be heard, indicating that the empty boilers are being filled with water for the first time.

The power button will flash and the LCD screen will display the current espresso boiler temperature.

When the machine has reached the operating temperature, the power button light will stop flashing and the manual, 1 cup and 2 cup buttons will be illuminated.

When prompted, enter the result from the water hardness test strip so the machine automatically alerts you when to descale or change the filter.

Now the machine is set up, you're ready to make your first coffee.
