This has to be the best channel for the amateur coffee maker, thanks for all the tips Hoon. I'm glad you're all well now.

Glad to see you again. Since i bought breville coffee machine, I watched your all the videos. It’s very useful video for me.

Hello Hoon, I'm glad to hear you and your family have recovered. I have been watching your videos since purchasing my machine 3 months ago. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, I really appreciate it!

So great to have you back Hoon. Not the same around here without you. Good news on the family too! Good stuff that grindz. I've heard of using rice too. I use a cheapy ultrasonic machine to do my portafilter and shower screen. So fast!

Thanks to your videos my machine has received regular maintenance and I've used your setting tricks to fine tune my grind to my exact taste. I have no doubt that I wouldn't have kept this machine in such fine condition without your KZfaq tutorials. It's now 4 years old and runs like it's brand new. Mahalo Hoon!

Hoon! my friend just gave me a two year old Barista Express and I'm going to use all your cleaning and descaling tips to bring it back to life! thank god for your channel!! Cant wait to get her cleaned up and making coffee..

Glad you’re back and appreciated this video. I keep my machine really clean but will soon want to do a deep cleaning as you demonstrated. I purchased the filter cleaners and tablets as recommended in the manual but need to get the grinder cleaner! Anyway, glad you and yours are healthy again!!

Great to see you back! Glad you’re doing well, thanks for the info!

Thanks for all your videos. I have not had my machine long and it is probably time for me to clean. So finding your video on cleaning a Breville was very timely for me. Thanks for all you do for us coffee lovers!

just found your channel recently and have enjoyed all your content, it’s been invaluable. sorry to hear about you and the family getting sick but very glad you’re all well now. thanks again!

Hi Hoon...I just wanted to extend my gratitude to you...I watched your video on cleaning the steam wand of my breville machine. You saved me allot of money...I was able to declogg my steamer wand by following your video. Many thanks... you got one more subscriber.

Glad to hear you’re better Hoon! Funny you posted this video today, as I spent this morning cleaning my Barista Express

I've had my Barista Express for about a month now. This video was really helpful. I've done the first monthly clean following these instructions and will continue to do so. Thanks.

just saw this, and ordered the cleaning grinder beans! Thanks! Never knew about that.

Glad to see you back again. I also use barista express, but the older version.

Woot woot ~ Mr. Hoon, you are finally back ! I am so glad you guys are doing better, of course, I can't wait for your next comparison video. Cheers my friend !

Another super video which brought a few smiles to my face and was full of the information I need. You're a good guy. Thank you.

Your channel is always my go to when i got my breville barista express. You've been so helpful! Thank you so much!

Really helpful, thank you! I haven’t used my machine in 6+ months so I know it’s needs a deep cleaning like this. Thanks again! ☺️

Thanks Hoon. Your videos are so helpful. I watch each time I clean. Glad to hear you and family survived the virus.

Hoon you are making Japan very proud! So organised thanks buddy

After watching your video, I honed my settings and made one of these, but I just blended it all together! OMG, thank you for sharing this. I've found my new after dinner dessert! You are so awesome!

This video was exactly what I needed! Thank you so much!

Glad you and your family are felling well. Great video on cleaning the Breville you made look very easy. Thank you

Glad to hear you and your family are doing well and you have recovered. Good to have you back!

Thank you. Your channel made my life so much easier.

Loving these videos again! Thanks Hoon.

Greetings from the Northwest. I had a breakthrough case as well and was down for about a week. Looking forward to seeing your videos and glad you are feeling better.

Hoon you're the best! Very helpful! Thank you very much!

So glad you and the family are back to health. Thank you for your videos😊

Thanks for this video - especially the grinder cleaner tablets!

Glad you are well. Your videos have taken my Breville Barrista game to the next level. Thank you

Thanks Hoon, you can enjoy your daily coffee again !

Glad you are all healthy again!! And thanks I haven’t had figured out how to remove the shower, I heavily rely on cafiza powder to do the back-flush. I was a bit hesitant on applying to much force on the shower, I was afraid of denting the shower, now I’ll do it with full confidence.

Just found your wonderful videos. So sorry to hear you and your family were sick with Covid. Glad you have all recovered.

"my wife doesn't know how to clean" - whoops - quick retraction 🤣

Hello Hoon. Greetings from Drammen, Norway. Glad to hear that you all are well. We absolutely love your videos. Thank you for sharing them with us.

I'm glad all of you've recovered completely. Take care 🙂

Thanks Hoon, I’ve used this video twice now to clean my Breville Barista Express!

Glad you didn’t get too sick!

Thanks for the reminder Hoon, I deffinately need to go clean mine. Take care glad to see your back to good health. Cheers...

Glad you ok love the vids

Thank you! Very practical and helpful.

Great video. Thanks. Great to hear both you and your family are doing well.

Excellent video. Glad to hear you and your family are now healthy again.

Thank you so much for your videos they are really helpful! I’ve been watching your vids since I got my Barista Express. Also, just wanna say I’m glad to know that you and your family are okay now. Stay safe!

Happy to know that you all are doing well now. ❤️

I cleaned my machine this morning as well! I always keep it very clean, but I do the deep cleaning measures once in awhile as well. I like knowing everything is clean. Have you got your hands on the naked portafilter, yet? I got mine a couple weeks back and absolutely LOVE it. I feel like I'm pulling better shots because I can see how the coffee is behaving as the water hits it. It's also very beautiful with the wood handle. I purchased a different tamper as well since I was having trouble getting a consistent tamp with the one included with the machine and this new one seems to have improved that. Anyway, SO glad to see your face again and very happy you and your family are feeling better.

Not a lengthy vid at all realy realy helpfull of basic maintenance that i wouldn't have thought of

Great to see you again Hoon! Good to hear that you and your family are doing fine now!! Take care ❤

Brillant advise Professor Hoon , Your advice is so logical , and makes sense . Thanks

Thanks for the video. Didn’t know there was a grinder cleaner.

Thank you very much for sharing.

I bought this machine a few weeks ago and your videos are the perfect companion. I am a little perpelexed as to how can get away without tamping when just using the levelling tool.

Very helpful. Thanks!!

Your passion about coffee make me love coffee more every of your video very helpful thank you.

I’m glad you are healthy and feeling better! COVID-19 is a scary virus. Be well!

Very useful video. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing.

You look like a kid! can't believe your have a 16 year old. Glad your feeling better now!

Glad you guys are feeling better. This is great I’m going to clean my machine this weekend.

Great video. Thank you. I am having issues with the grinder no working sometimes. I tried removing the top bur as you instructed by lifting the wire and counterclock wise turning but it is stuck. Any suggestions as to how to get it out. Thanks.

I have Omicron right now and I lost my sense of taste and smell, which has made my espresso taste like nothing. I hope my senses come back. I have been enjoying your videos while I am ill.

Thank you for sharing the video. The video is definitely useful👍

Thanks bro,, great tips

WAIT !.......Oh wow; Glad you and you're family are ok - And you're videos are never too long.

Came back after a month of not watching your channel and was shocked to hear you got corona! Glad you and your family are ok!

Thanks Hoon. Ive had aweful trouble trying to remove the group head after taking out the screw. This vid solved that issue. The last month or so Ive had the machine not cutting out after a pour, so my coffee glass fills up with water after the espresso and I have to turn it off manually. Any idea what that might be?

Hoon, regardless which basket I use, the cleaning disk does not allow pressure to build up to do the backflush, rather the water drains straight though the portafilter defeating the back pressure clean. Thoughts?

Great video 🤙🏻

Great video. Glad you and your family are feeling better. Hello from Sydney, Australia :)

Hello Hoon, Thank you so much for your informative videos! I’ve had the Breville Barista Express Impress for about a month, and I followed your instructions for monthly cleaning. Do you know if you ever have to replace the bottom burr. I heard you mention you replace the upper burrs yearly, but wasn’t sure about the other one. Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Great to see you back! Glad to hear your family is well too. Video idea?. I just heard you can control preinfusion? Simply by holding down the shot button as you pull a shot. And once you let go, it’ll start the full pressure.

Glad to see you and the family are well. Really appreciate the videos. I'm having an issue with my machine. I'm using the dual wall dbl filter. It seems to be holding water causing a damp puck. Let's forget the coffee grind setting for one moment. Even If I run it empty the portafilter remains full of water. The machine is 4 months old and been cleaned twice. Now I've spent time cleaning the filter of grime and believe I've done it to a good Standard. I've poked the holes with the needle point supplied. I've allowed it to sit in descaler solution and hot water. I've even used an air pressure gun to push air through the holes. Yet even when the machine has pulled a good shot in the correct range and once it's finished dripping. The portafilter is still full of water with a soggy puck. Do you know what could be causing this?

Good channel, glad you & your family are all ok, 👍

Am curious, if you do the regular cleaning cycle, and flush it. Do you really need to get the grip tray out and clean it

do you suggest any different brand for water filters?

I know this is an old video, but how does rice work? Just curious because I use the same oily beans from Starbucks.

Hi! Great video, didn’t realize there’s so much things to clean! What about steamer? i’ve read somewhere that it’s necessary to clean it ;) best wishes

You rock, Hoon.

So, after cleaning my machine I've run into a problem. I removed and appropriately cleaned all components as well as set my grind adjustments to the settings recommended in the manual for each step. Now if I set the grind to anything lower than 4, it sounds like the grinder is working really hard or struggling even without beans. Do you have any suggestions for what is going wrong? Thanks for the great videos!

Although rice doesnt have the same size as a coffee bean unlike the urnex grindz, would it still be safe to use? like it wont get stuck considering how small it is?
