I always refer back to your videos when ever i forgot how to do something with this machine. You are a life saver, Thank you so much!

So, as Breville owners, it's clear that we have cleaned our machines 116,943 times (views) since you published this video and my numerous cleans. Breville should give you something for your service! Thanks! :D

Thanks! Your videos are super easy to follow and very helpful. I use them every time I have to clean this thing.

Thanks so much, Hoon. For five years I've been using your instructions. You're my guide Keep up the good work. I'm living in GA, and appreciate your continuous commitment to getting smarter on coffee. I drink espresso from morning until evening. Let us know what you think about the effects of coffee on the human body. It keeps me alert and alive. My grandfather and dad drank coffee all their life, morning to evening, and lived and live over 90. They never drank alcohol though, just I don't drink alcohol since my friend died because of a drunk driver. Coffee is my motto to live long and with all our senses.

Not sure if I’ve commented before, because this is such an excellent go to video to remind us of the descaling process every time that light starts flashing! Thank you.

Thanks man! Everytime I watch your videos when I have to descale or clean my machine just to remind my self the steps. Hope you are doing well!

Thanks Hoon. Whenever my machine need to do descale I'm always come back to your you tube to do. I love your help a lot

Still using your videos to help me, I can say you’re my first channel thay I’ve been with like nearly since day one of your videos. It seemed your channel was new but I just felt “hoon, what a unique name. I think he knows what he’s talking about” and subscribed since!! Love your videos, calm nature, I have had some well not trouble but I guess learning how to get my coffee back to normal

Thank you😀

Thank you 😊

Hoon you're the best

Hoon you are the Breville Barista King 👑👑👑

Thanks! Do you have a mat below the machine?

Thank you for your help. I always refer to your video how to clean my breville. Today the filter size button is blinking nonstop. What is the problem?

Hi All. I have a BES875 (ie the one that doesn't have the '/descale' light feature). Can anyone advise me: does it have an aluminium or stainless boiler? Can I use a citric+sulphamic descaler? Many thanks in advance. UPDATE: I've read below that there isn't boiler per se but supposedly Sage/Breville describe it as a 'stainless steel water path'. I've also looked up the descaler Hoon uses. Amazon - or the supplier - unhelpfully don't tell you what's actually in the descaler but someone, in the questions/answers section, has answered: 'According to the MSDS, in the bottle it’s 7-10% citric acid and 3-7% sulfamic acid'. So therefore the descaler I use - Dezcal powder which is mainly citric and the rest sulphamic - looks like it pretty much matches Hoon's descaler.

hi boss jusr want to ask if bes870 model are the same water filter size on bes860xl?

How often should I descale? Should I just wait for the lights to come on? I use water from Brita filtered pitcher, so it’s kind of double filtered water.

i need to know how often the descale light goes on since i only have the blinking "clean me" on my version!

Back again, cleaning and descaking time.

Should i descale the old model - the one that only says clean me? Thanks

Thanks for showing How to Descale Breville Barista Express machine. Easy to follow instructions.

hi, may i ask if the Urnex Dezcal powder is any good with the Barista pro ?

Good morning I was wondering if you had any idea why my steamer would not be working I did clean cycle and it seems like it's steaming but not coming out of the steamer nozzle

Hello Do u ever use vinegar to descale?

Mr Hoon I plan on buying a weight scale. Do you have a recommendation?

Which water filter i should buy , please link

do you need the plug to clean as I have lost mine

What descaler do you use?

How often should I descale ? Should I just wait for the descale lights to come on?

I live in The Netherlands and have a Solis barista express (sage/Breville) machine and IT wont start by holding 2 cup/power. I read my instruction i just have to put power on and do al the things manual. But the clean mode works the same 1and2cup/power button and IT wil start inmediaty.

I followed the steps and the descale light is still on. Used a breville liquid descaler. Any ideas?

should you descale first or use the cleaning tablet first?

hello from El Savador I'm a barista breville owner

I have the same exactly machine. Do you know why my light “ clean descale” flashing.??

How many litres if 1/2 tank? what is the make of the Cafiza tablets and the descaled from Amazon? Thanks

Hi i have descaled a couple of times but i have steam coming from hot water spout & steam wand pressure not great please help, graham uk

my light is not blinkg not sure why and i got my machine a year ago any ideas?

If I use vinegar is it 4 Oz and what is better?

Hello Hoon. Can you help me why my coffee grinder keep grinding non stop if I don't keep my eyes on it. Is there something wrong or it's normal that I have to stop it on time. And if it's wrong can you show me how to fix this problem. Thank you.

Can I use Urnex Dezcal powder to descale?

hi Hoon, I just learned that the brew group is made out of aluminum (the water dispenser) it's the part just under the shower screen. so that means cafiza shouldn't be used with this machine since it's not recomended with aluminum :( and if product like dezcal are used we shouldn't let the water out from the brew head since it would be in contact with aluminum and this product is also not compatible with aluminum. By the way I really enjoy your videos. keep the good work it's really nice to see you do these videos.

I cant find the black piece that is used to place the tablet.. can I clean the machine without this??

How do I turn the descaling button off. It’s on still and I just finished descaling it

you can use white vinegar to descale.....

My water runs out of the tank before the process is over. Normal?

And the filter?

why doesn't water flow into the jug when using the cleaning tablet

New Zealand here

Isn't it 4 fluid ounces?

👍👏

I can not descale using this method. The machine start normally when i hold the power+double cup buttons 😢

why don't you use a water filter?

Why you don’t use your water filter? Just curious I only used filter water on the machine but still change the filter

RIP Hoon. Just heard the news from the family. You will be missed.

@Hoon's Coffee ☕ H!.. Hoon.. So the cleaning tablet 💊 does NOT 🙅 descale...is that right..??? So you still need to use the descaling solution after the tablet pill 💊 right..??? Tablet 💊 FiRST and descaling after..??? Is that right..??? Or the Breville pill 💊 is one and the same as the descaler solution..???

Hey Hoon, Why are some beans don’t work well on this machine.. the starbucks french Roast is horrible and poor so slow and bitter as hell.. Any advice

Make the mixture in a jug and then pour it into the tank. Also, why don't you use the filter in the tank?

Hoon do descale from your Rancilio please

Hi, do you know or have any recommendations to clear the water dispenser? I mean the little tube where you serve just hot water (to make your expresso an americano, for example), cause mine very is covered by salinization (I assume, even if I do the clean ups) and almost no water comes out.

my machine just turns on when I hold down the 2 cup button then hold the power. and if I keep holding, it dispenses the 2 cup dose, and the clean button is not flashing or even on.

when you do a rinse, use the hot water spigget , or steam wand, you are still using the Boiler .........therefore they create scale and can damage the machine .

Everyone should be using distilled water or at the very least, reverse osmosis water (purified) in their coffee machine. Tap water has so many horrible chemicals in it that wreck havoc on your machine. I have never had to descale my machine due to only using distilled water. After 4 years of having it, this is my first time doing it and it’s only a precaution more than anything else. Distilled water will keep your machine lasting forever, and not to mention ; brew the best tasking espresso you’ve ever had. You’re welcome!

Thank you

Thank you
