Thanks, works for other coffee machines too. Not only did it fix it, it also made the steam wand 100x stronger than it was before xD

[@essbeenz]

After clarifying that we add water to the tank and not the milk jug, this worked like a CHARM!

[@robsequeira9349]

Awesome. This worked perfectly and avoided the potential cataclysmic outcome of no morning coffee. Thank you so much!!

[@NinaPlayList]

Thank you 🎉 It worked! Don’t loose hope if it didn’t work the first time I had to do it for like 3-4 times until it worked!

[@creaux.]

omg yes same! took prolly 5 tries. ty so much. letting my wand sit submerged in hot water/vinegar also seemed to help.

[@jhowardxshred]

Easiest fix! I saw other options and went with your process. My wand was completely blocked, but the vinegar mixture cleared it right up.

[@donricki1]

This is our second K-Classic. We had our first one for many years, so when we had to replace it, we wanted nothing else but this exact kzbin.infoUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf model. We use it for about three people everyday in the morning. The taste and quick brew is one of the reasons we like it so much. There are so many choices of brands of coffee that we would grab what was on sale and test the different brands from there. I would definitely recommend trying different brands of coffee to find the ones you like the most because there are brands that quite frankly taste horrible.

I am doing it right in this moment and now I find this video....

[@TheAyuhamasaki]

I’m confused with the instruction. Should I be dumping the whole water in the water container and replace that with half a cup of water and half a cup of vinegar solution? Please help clarify. My machine is doing this right now

[@shadra1]

Im confused about this part too 😢

[@alyssadixon5713]

I’m confused too. He didn’t clarify

[@mauricemallari6365]

Not sure if you still need this, but I removed the water in the water tank, filled it white vinegar and mixed it with water (equal parts. I filled the container like 50-60%) I ran a backflush (the instructions should be on your manual), and the steam wand worked like a charm.

[@DavidREsau]

Yes. Take the water out or add enough vinegar to dilute it.

[@dawnhousewright9351]

Thank you so much for this explanation. I picked up my first ever espresso machine at a goodwill about 6 months ago for $10 because I couldn’t bring myself to buy one at regular price. I did this and used a needle to clean out the tip and voila it now works. I just felt lucky that I was even getting espresso at least to make americano, but now I can even make cappuccino and macchiatos with the frothed working

[@cathymcwilliam1974]

Yes! It worked 👏 Thank you!😊

[@cathymcwilliam1974]

Initially my wand was pouring out warm water and no steam (not heating properly). I’ve always cleaned the steam wand and purged after each coffee as well as descaling etc when indicated. Hence very happy it is now producing hot steam again. Surprised that there was a blockage considering how I followed all cleaning maintenance. Relieved and happy no big probably and so easy to fix if it happens again.

[@ScoobyDabberDoo]

What can you do if multiple rounds of vinegar still doesn’t unclog the wand? I also used the cleaning tool included for the tip of the wand.

[@georgetarazi7549]

New wand

[@alyciamarriott9506]

Try removing the wand tip and putting that in some vinegar water before cleaning it out with the little pin tool. I would also try running the steamer with the tip off to see if anything is coming through. Then again with the tip pack on. Also try the hot water tap. If nothing is coming though either it could be an issue with the pump, but if it's coming through the tap but not the wand you might want to replace the wand.

[@humphreyin]

@@alyciamarriott9506 So I have tried this as well with no luck. I took off the tip, ran it, and water just comes out through the place you'd put the espresso. I am guessing it's clogged before even getting to the wand? Any ideas?

[@rachela239]

I have the same exact machine. Are you filling the water tank on the back with vinegar and then running it through the steamer and espresso shots? I wanted to do this but my husband told me the water tank has a special filter and he thought the vinegar would mess it up. Any thoughts on that?

[@DavidREsau]

It’s good to listen to your husband except this time. Follow the video if you want your machine to work again. 👌🏽

[@chrisarksey]

I woke up wanting to use my espresso for an Americano... Hadn't used the machine in a month. Water dispenser (steam head) didn't work. I was so frustrated. Watched ur vid. Ran 5 double espressos with water tank 0.5 cup vinegar and 0.5cup water. The let head of frother sit in hot cup of of water (from making 5 double water/vinegar espressos)... Hit steam and the steam head started working instantly!!

[@RhettBarber3233]

This worked! Thank you

[@susansmith389]

Do I put half a cup of distilled vinegar and water in the back/water tank?

[@DavidREsau]

Yes. Run it through a couple of times. Then test the steam wand, then rinse and refill before using again.

[@mbtoolreviews]

Thank you fixed it in minutes

[@DuoenoG]

Seems to have worked thanks a lot!

[@maxsollie]

Will this also maybe help on extremely hard to turn( like white knuckle hard) knob ? I suspect the former owener did not do many descalings , and the knob is so frikking hard to turn, and regular sage/Breville descal solution did not help ( 2 packs in 1 week)

[@DavidREsau]

Give it a try, won't hurt. But you might want to try silicone spray as long as the knob is clear from any liquid area as that is something you don't want to ingest.

[@TheLimmies]

Do you need to evaporate the vinegar?

[@clicktrackmarketing]

Rinse out the entire system with fresh water before making actual coffee. Just run the machine and hot water will clean it. Fill it with fresh water, run it a couple of times and you are good to go.

[@bensoncatalan7637]

It worked... after descaling, it didnt work . I searched and found your videos... mahalo ( thanks in hawaii)!.. i also poked the hole at the end of the wand and theres a build up that got stuck in there, so yea i will do this more often

[@KingofFlordia]

Honestly good maintenance is all you need, this guy clearly doesn't care enough to keep constant care judging by his musty cup. you should be cleaning the wand after every use, use it properly and not drown it, and most importantly be gentle with it 👌

[@christopheredwards8092]

I am trying this on my Barista machine tomorrow.

[@noelrwalsh]

Hi, I'm having trouble with my sage Barista Pro. Sometimes the wand takes ages to bring the milk up to 65 degrees and that leaves the coffee just lukewarm. Also, sometimes on the digital screen some horizontal bars start scrolling up the screen where it says steam. What does all that mean and any fixes? I do adhere strictly to all cleaning and maintenance instructions.

[@DavidREsau]

Hi Noel, you may have an actual issue with the heating capacitor but I’m no expert. The temp should not be that low while steaming especially if you give it a few seconds to warm up. You might have to take it in to a repair shop. Sorry.

[@Pissychriss]

Do you put the vinegar in the water tank?

[@DavidREsau]

Yes. Run it through the machine with some water.

[@m2287]

Worked for me also!!

[@uberdude7954]

great vid thanks - but what if the wand has NO pressure at all ?

[@DavidREsau]

Keep trying. It should open up.

[@i-enlim9569]

Hi can you advise if it has to be distilled white vinegar? Or can it be normal white vinegar?

[@shawarmaprincess3635]

Thank u sooooo sooooo soooooo much! It actually worked! Love u ❤❤❤

[@MayraVendramim]

Lifesaver!

[@TheMorpheiusneo]

ive had mine for a week it starts then stops after a few seconds , could this be the issue so soon?

[@DavidREsau]

Are you rinsing and wiping off the frothing wand? This could potentially be the issue. You can try steaming plain hot water after you make your latte for 15 seconds then wiping it clean. If that doesn’t work, try to solution I share in the video.

[@TheMorpheiusneo]

@@DavidREsau hi thanks for the reply I don’t have the exact one u have mine has a self cleaning so after I use it it shoots water and steam out of it , I’ve even tried steaming just water and it goes for about 5 seconds and just shuts off and makes a gurgle sound 🤷‍♂️I’m going to call support tomorrow it’s basically brand new

[@Bryant19999]

thanks

[@alirezakhazaee3586]

Hi . thank you for your video. My coffee maker is a Breville model BES870XL/B unfortunately the pressure does not rise. The gauge is working. The pump worked by taking out an output pipe from it and turning it on, and it had a good output pressure. All the pipes are clean, and I cleaned them twice with special tablets. The steam works and there is no problem. I still could not find the problem. If I find it, I have the possibility to repair it. I have two guesses, one is the external stream ring and casket and the other is the solenoid valve. In the first case, the device has no leaks at all, neither internal nor external pipes. Thank you for your advice in advance

[@DavidREsau]

Did you try it with very fine ground beans and then stamping it hard before starting it?

[@makayliwilkinson3672]

I have a cafe Roma breville, I allowed the wand to pee (purge until it produced steam) and there was some steam coming out but not enough to steam milk. Will this method work for this issue?

[@DavidREsau]

It's worth a try, just rinse it out once you run the vinegar through a couple of times.

[@thedalillama]

About how much does your wand purge before producing steam? I just bought my first machine (Breville Express) and am a little concerned about the steamer. The initial purge dispenses 2/3 of an ounce of water (1.3 table spoons). The steam cycle spits water periodically that produces 1 table spoon of water *not from condensing the steam*. Breville's website says the steam is 266 degrees. Mine maxes out around around 200 degrees at the steamer tip.

[@Hkazkaz]

Where do I put the vinegar? In the water tank or cup?

[@DavidREsau]

Water tank and run it through by steaming and using the espresso button. Then clean it after it works.

[@tantiansin6541]

Hi, I am trying to froth the milk but failed. I pressed the steam button, suddenly all 3 button lights blinking and can hear the loud steaming sound for few seconds before it stop. After power off the bambino and switch on back, it recovered. Why? Please advise. Thanks

[@DavidREsau]

It's possible that the machine wasn't warmed up yet. Please give it 20 seconds after you turn on to heat up.

[@rodolfocastro3222]

Thank you. I will do that!

[@tekinaslan6069]

You need to rinse it out with just water after the vinegar and water cleanse. It will not harm it.

Your instructions are not clear. Please do it step by step

Add the vinegar, run it like you’re making an espresso twice, empty and refill with clean water. Then run a few times to clear out the vinegar. It’s easy and once the wand works empty the vinegar water.
