Great explanation and very succinct. My machine startled me yesterday as I was making coffee the steam wand pressure dropped and I noticed a foul burning smell coming from the group head which had the unbrewed coffee holder in place. I stopped steaming and removed the coffee holder which came away explosively with a POP and spread the coffee grounds everywhere. I couldn’t find anything about this except a few people on a forum who experienced it and said a descale seemed to fix the problem. Do you have experience of this?
@AjusCafe Жыл бұрын
I haven't experienced this issue. If you dial to steam (all the way), it shouldn't generate any pressure on the Grouphead. I suspect the steam wand unit may be failing. Anyway do a Descale and Clean cycle to rule out the calcium buildup as the culprit

I guess you’ve never bought a bad apple before. You must have extremely good luck. It doesn’t matter who made a product, there’s ALWAYS a chance something could go wrong with it. After 2 years, maybe you got a defective part or maybe it was user error not properly cleaning/descaling. When you purchase an item that’s expensive like this, you might want to consider getting an extended warranty. The Breville brand is amazing and seriously is the absolute best espresso machine for the money. Maybe you should contact Breville instead of KZfaqrs for more info. I’m sure they’d be happy to help 🤷♂️

Your videos are so clear and precise. I appreciate that. I have had my machine since September and clean it every Friday, except no tablet and I use the provided brush and canned air to dislodge and blow out the grinder of all residue. I use purified water in the machine so the descale light has never come on. But I followed this video and used the provided tablet today. My question is it necessary to use the tablet if the descale light doesn’t come on or is using the tablet just a good preventative every 3 months or so?
@AjusCafe Жыл бұрын
Thank you. Descale is different cycle compared to Clean cycle. And tablet is used for Clean cycle or Backflush. Assuming you are referring to Clean cycle, then Yes you need to Clean using tablet in Portafilter every 3 months atleast, in order to avoid coffee stain buildup. Even if the light blinks or not, you need to run clean cycle. Same applies to Descale cycle as well, where u use Descale power in the water tank.
@jeanpowell981 Жыл бұрын
@@AjusCafe I run the clean cycle every Friday plus thoroughly clean the grinder, filter head and froth wand. But I’ve never gotten the descale message I guess since I use filtered water always. But as you suggested, I’ll continue using the descale tablet every 3 months. Thanks again.

Once you remove the hopper,, there is a little cut just above the burrs facing towards you. That switch is not engaging. That's why the filter size is flashing. You can use something like a toothpick and press i to the little cut and see if it engages. Maybe just vaccum the top area and see if a broken bean is stuck.

@AjusCafe3 жыл бұрын
High pressure is very normal, because you are blocking the flow of water through portafilter using the clean disk (silicon). This will generate lot of pressure up to max. Because of this pressure, the water will be drawn up through the GroupHead into the backflush outlet (which is by your tray below). This back flow will carry the cleaning solution with it, which ensures it clean all your coffee oils and old grinds stuck in there. Hope its clear.
