Product Information
Full details
The Breville AutoLuxe Bean to Cup Coffee Machine is designed for home baristas who prioritize professional-grade espresso quality without the need for an overly complicated machine. This unit offers a perfect balance of advanced pre-infusion technology and rapid heat-up times, ensuring a cafe-style experience in your own kitchen. While it delivers excellent texture and flavor, users should note that the 52mm portafilter size is smaller than the commercial 58mm standard, which may limit the range of aftermarket barista accessories available.

FAQs
Does this machine come with a grinder?
No, the Breville AutoLuxe VCF195 is designed as a standalone espresso machine; you will need to use a separate coffee grinder.
Can I use ground coffee instead of beans?
Yes, you can use pre-ground espresso coffee in the included portafilter.
How often should I descale the machine?
Frequency depends on your water hardness, but generally, you should descale every 3 to 6 months to maintain performance.
Is the steam wand removable?
The steam wand is integrated for stability, but it is easy to wipe clean after every use.
What size tamper do I need?
This machine uses a 52mm portafilter, so you will need a 52mm tamper if you choose to upgrade from the included plastic scoop/tamp.
Troubleshooting
Espresso is dripping out very slowly
The grind may be too fine or the coffee is tamped too hard. Try a slightly coarser grind setting.
Coffee is not hot enough
Pre-heat your cup by running a shot of hot water through the group head into the empty cup before brewing.
Steam wand is not producing steam
Ensure the steam function is fully activated and use the cleaning pin to check for blockages in the wand tip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before first use, it is recommended to run a cycle of plain water through the machine to prime the internal heating system and clear any manufacturing residues. For daily care, rinse the portafilter and filter baskets immediately after each use. The steam wand should be wiped down with a damp cloth after every milk texturing session to prevent milk buildup, and the steam function should be purged for a few seconds to clear any residue from the nozzle. Regularly empty the drip tray and wash all removable parts in warm, soapy water or the top rack of your dishwasher. If the flow of espresso appears restricted, use the provided cleaning pin to clear the holes in the portafilter basket.
