How To Clean And Descale The Breville Barista Express | Espresso Machine Full Maintenance Guide

[@saltyarmy-jn2fb]

Always going back to this video every time I need to clean or descale my machine. Thank you!

[@dank9765]

Great video for this machine. Save some money, make your own descaler 1:1 ratio of white vinegar to water. (1000cc vinegar to 1000cc water in the tank) .For now, I use the tablets for cleaning . They are made of "soap and bleach" Sodium carbonate and sodium percarbonate with phosphates and laurel sulfate. There is probably a good homemade solution that could be made up but haven't discovered that yet.

[@dreb4386]

I’m not a manual reader so when it came to clean my machine I was scratching my head. I’m a visual learner! It was so easy to follow along with you! Thank you soooo much for this video! Next time it won’t take me an hour to try and figure this out!

[@dougfilmu]

Thank you. Before watching your video, I was only doing a clean and not descaling. Your instructions are much better than the breville instruction manual.

[@RoseBaby]

I’m so glad this video was helpful. I appreciate your feedback.

[@naed_coral]

Same, I only used clean and after 2 years old with 4 cleans I just performed a 4x clean cycles and the light remains so probably need to descale. My hot tip to preserve the life of the machine anyway is to just use filtered water in the machine in the first place rather than tap water...

[@mehtamanas]

by far the best video that demonstrates all cleaning cycles- thanks for letting us know the use of all the tools

[@RoseBaby]

Glad it was helpful!

[@JacquelineSavard-l5x]

Your instructions are by far the best available on the web. Thank you for being so clear and simple!

[@miniatureminis7500]

Hello Rose,Hopefully this reaches you ! Thank you so much for showing this step by step guidance for completing the cleaning / descaling.for this particular Expresso machine, Just brilliant one of the best on the tube Thanks again ☕👍

[@RoseBaby]

You are so welcome! I am glad it was helpful.

[@WetCoast3770]

Thank you, very helpful. Didn't understand how the rubber disc helped, but now I understand. Much appreciated!

[@silviarahim90]

Same!!

[@DavS1969]

I'm so glad you mentioned that unplugging the machine can reset "cleaning indicator", I was wondering why it seemed so long between cleanings. Thanks!

[@samcrow_1]

This is the best breville coffee machine servicing I've found on KZbin!! Thank you 🙌

[@Island_Landlord]

Been using this video for a year- easily the easiest one to follow for descaling and machine cleaning

[@arielalfonso1985]

Deciding on buying the breville barista express -- and your videos are what convinced me to do it! You have by far the best videos, very well put together. Thank you so much Rose Baby. Ten stars for your efforts. Breville should pay you a royalty!!!

[@RoseBaby]

Thank you for your feedback, Ariel. I appreciate it more than anything.

[@dreunmason8315]

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.

[@lh2210]

You're an absolute life saver! There are instructions on the back of my machine but it didn't say to turn the machine off again before pressing the cups. I was so confused!! Thank you so so so much

[@kathyrussell1149]

Just cleaned, descaled, etc and your video made it so much easier to do and understand. Thank you so much.

[@RoseBaby]

I’m so glad to hear that. Thank YOU!

[@pardong100]

I've got the newest breville express impress and these instructions follow the same! Thank you so much for the detailed step by step!

[@debbriggs4403]

You are fantastic Rose thankyou so much. You just made my life so much easier listening to you and watching you do all these steps professional straight to the point .

[@PapaCrescendo]

This is the best video by far thank you for the specifics and the tools most of these other videos don't tell you thumbs up

[@RoseBaby]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you found this video helpful.

[@JunandKeshia]

I’ve had a fear of this cleaning process so have been putting it back for months. This video was so helpful and you explained everything so well. It made the clean very easy. Thanks so much

[@kevincuellar5726]

Don’t put it back any longer, my dad’s just broke down for the same reason lol

[@amirb7437]

Most amazing video and so simply explained even a 5 year old can follow. And what a beautiful woman 🥰😍

[@RoseBaby]

You are so kind. Thank you so much! 😊

[@LyndsyListenberger]

This was SO HELPFUL! Thank you!

[@Devrony]

Your videos are great and so helpful. Just bought my first expresso machine. Loving the Breville so far.

[@RoseBaby]

I'm so glad you like them! Good luck on your espresso journey!

[@nc3342]

Excellent! You did a very job in explaining the cleaning process which is the part that I concern most to consider the machine. Thank you!

[@RoseBaby]

You're welcome!

[@joeybautista7989]

Hi Rose, I am wondering, I cant enter to descaling mode , even I tried to press and hold 2cups and power button. We have the same model of machine. What do you think is the problem? I can successfully enter the cleaning mode (1cup, 2cup ,power button).

[@shey-tan3519]

This was an excellent tutorial. Thank you!

[@pritchard297]

Thank you for this video and the links! I purchased my machine used and love it so much. However, it didn't come with any of the cleaning supplies. I used your links to make sure I purchased the correct items. Thank you thank you.

[@RoseBaby]

Yay! I’m so glad it helped.

[@kimberlyseid7688]

Very thorough and helpful, all in one video! Thank you!

[@lalalaboo2685]

You have the best explanation so far ❤

[@TheFixTech]

Wow! Very thorough!

[@moviesynopsis001]

Love this video when I need to clean my pipe

[@claudeduval6682]

C'est une excellente référence pour l'entretien de la machine Merci 😉

[@KELLYHI5]

I have clean my coffee machine and it is amazing thank u 🎉❤

[@houstonmunoz9862]

Thanks for this awesome video I just cleaned it and my espresso actually does preform and taste alot better I didn't even know that half the stuff was for cleaning lol 😀 but thanks for such a helpful video !!

[@RoseBaby]

I’m so glad to hear that. Thank you for your feedback.

[@CorinnaO]

Excellent video! My machine was not working and we could not get the cleaning light to go off until I did everything that was done here.

[@shahidrashid4614]

Excellent cleaning instructions, thank you!

[@RoseBaby]

You are welcome!

[@RoseBaby]

Hello friends, I really hope you find this video helpful and I hope I covered everything. If you have any questions please let me know. 👋🏻

[@FrequentDreamer]

I was wondering if you might be interested in doing a makeup tutorial in the future? I love to see how others do their makeup and what products they recommend. I'm also wondering what foundation you might recommend as well

[@TheFixTech]

It your grinder hard to remove? Mine seems stuck....

[@RoseBaby]

@@FrequentDreamer Hello Haley, that’s something I definitely think about doing often and yes, I would love to make a makeup tutorial in the future. As far for foundation I like the Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation and that’s the one I’m currently using it has amazing coverage and it stays on all day.

[@RoseBaby]

@@TheFixTech No, mine I can remove it really easy but if you are trying to remove the grinder wheel make sure you vacuum and remove all the extra beans because that’s what makes it hard to remove.

[@FrequentDreamer]

@@RoseBaby Awesome! Thank you! I appreciate it :D

[@larrys.3992]

Your instructions were so complete. Thank you!

[@RoseBaby]

Glad to hear that, Larry.

[@grzegorzrex]

I really like coffee and my coffee machine but I think I fell in love... 😊🌹🌹🌹. Have a great day.

[@huizhuzhang6188]

My Breville machine has only clean button, no descale underneath the word of "clean", do I still need to do descaling too?

[@livestreamchicagoevents9987]

Thank you so much… answered so many questions regarding cleaning… excellent video 👏👍

[@butchmull3721]

Great video. It helped me clean my espresso machine easily. Thank you

[@MikeVR180]

[@donnagerstner8056]

It was fun to clean all parts of our Breville Espresso Machine with Rose!

[@nancyadams9228]

Great directions!

[@samkarema4045]

So detailed, thank you Rosy

[@RoseBaby]

You’re so welcome, Sam.

[@ferminmoreno5449]

Rose, thank you! Great video.

[@RoseBaby]

You are so welcome!

[@taifalei]

Amazing tutorial :)

[@RoseBaby]

Thank you!

[@tildajarocki9698]

My rubber insert that came with my machine has a small round hole in the center and water goes out through the coffee spouts not the pipe on the bottom like in your video. Do I need a different insert? Or could something be plugged up in that pipe? Thanks.

[@deborahsuarez2389]

Hello! Thank you for the video. I followed perfectly, my only problem was removing the grinder mill. I simply couldn’t. Do you any advice?

[@RoseBaby]

Maybe there’s a bean stuck in there. Make sure to run the grinder to try to get everything out, and then use a vacuum to suck everything out of there. It’s normal if you haven’t done this in a while to use some force to get it to turn. One time I needed my husband to twist it and unlock it for me because it was hard, just be careful not to break it. If that doesn’t work maybe try to contact the store where you bought it from, sometimes they offer to help, or you can talk with the Breville company.

[@pollywiggl]

Hi rose which “one cup filter basket” the dual wall or single wall? The manual doesn’t say.

[@fabiosantana8753]

How do I know when I need to do a DISCALING(not a cleaning) on this machine ?

[@rskye11]

Your espresso machine needs to be descaled every 2 -6 months depending on the hardness of your water. A good test is to leave a clear glass with about a quarter of a cup of water out to evaporate. If there is white stuff on the bottom of the glass after evaporating, you have hard water and will need to descale every 2 months or so. If not, you can push it to six months.

[@patriciawingenfeld3508]

Very detailed. Thank you

[@patelnirajkumar1]

My machine hasn’t illuminated descale light yet. It’s been 4 months and we use 2 coffees a day. We have whole home water filter which is good to provide clean water to machine as entire home. Could that be the reason or I should descale regardless or wait for the machine indication?

[@rileymakay2024]

Nice video, explained clearly. How long does the whole cleaning process take?

[@rossereysothea874]

What if you used the double cup for the pill?

[@KaranSharma-he2ky]

Really helpful video.

[@RoseBaby]

Super glad to hear that! Thank you!

[@janelle7736]

Is the cleaning disk supposed to come with the machine? Because I didn't get one with mine....

[@greentea0609]

Pray tell, how do you remove the grinder wheel?

[@javierf55]

My coffees are other world everytime I clean mine. I also replace the silicone steam ring which makes you clean all that part of the machine.

[@Jossbass]

This video is great

[@margaritagomez7307]

Hi , your explanation is enough clear, but my breville is BES860, I don’t have a tablets anymore, idk even where I can’t find them. Can you or someone here can help me. Thank you so much ❤️

[@RoseBaby]

Your are so welcome. I find these tablets on Amazon and that’s where I buy them from. Here is a link amzn.to/3StkUtc

[@RyanSimmons-uz3bq]

Do I need to use both tablets and liquid, or can I just use liquid descaler?

[@MissyModellMusic]

No water came out of the machine when I did the cleaning process! Any support is most appreciated!

[@antoniobiancofiore2396]

I have mine for about 3 years with minimal but have only begun using it more often the last 6 months….cleaning light flashing so I ran the cleaning cycle 5 times and still have some water a a bit of the tablet residue in the portafilter ….you indicated that the cleaning cycle can be run for 3 times therefore I decided to stop any further cleaning cycles ….the flashing light has stopped so that’s a good thing but do you have comments as to how many times the cleaning cycle can be run without damaging the unit

[@sophieloya8897]

Thank you so so so much!!!

[@Khanzafar8]

Thanks for the video. I had a question about the cleaning cycle (not descaling cycle). Do you have to remove the water filter during the cleaning cycle???

[@RoseBaby]

No, you don’t have to remove it for the cleaning cycle, but for the descaling cycle you must remove it.

[@Brodie-ri3qv]

@RoseBaby Awesome video.. I am a visual learner. Does anyone else put there Filter Basket behind the drip tray?? I thought that was a wicked idea, is that what its for hahaha

[@bernabesimpas7100]

Thank you maam🥰🥰🥰

[@techs3ns3]

Thank you!! 🤲🙏

[@LizLow81]

Thanks you for this, very helpful! Also - my mind has been blown re: that little storage compartment…. Never knew what it was for! And I’ve had my machine for 5 years 😅

[@RoseBaby]

You are so welcome! Don't feel bad, I had a similar situation with something else recently. 😅

[@benjaminkon1552]

How much descale solution to use? If we use the whole 200ml descaler would it be too much?😊

[@wafaquttainah8889]

Hi, my machine isn't running. Can you please tell me how to fix it?

[@Jdapsltd8]

Hi, how can I create a Froth in milk when using the jug and steamer on my Sage barista . Ive tried but though the milk heats up, there is no froth. Thank you Jay

[@dnrmoore4124]

Bring the steamer to top of the milk ( just below surface) it will foam up

[@peruvianlulucy6938]

I haven’t used my coffee machine. When i got it. Probably used it a month I didn’t get a nice espresso because i didnt know how to. But i wanna use it again and try it . Should i still do the deep cleaning? Even if the light for cleaning doesn’t appear? Or Should i just rinse it and put a new filter water ?

[@dmz1000]

the real secret to great espresso is the pressure. keep playing with the grind and the pack of the coffee until the pressure gets to the green section. before that pressure, it's likely to be weak and bitter. you shouldn't have to clean or anything until the light comes on or is blinking. we use filtered water so we don't even worry about the water filter in the machine. good luck and enjoy.

[@JanaeJanaeJanae]

Hello, can you share where you got the copper mug?

[@sunflower8599]

My new breville has the filter size blinking all the time Why is that?

[@alicee5270]

When I did this water came out of the regular place where the coffee comes out. And a small amount in the drip tray. Why would that happen?

[@AlChilazoLife]

Use the pressurized cup

[@courtneysteen5341]

Thank you!

[@RoseBaby]

You're welcome!

[@nvthvn_cho]

Watching this video every 2 months

[@altomshaw7108]

I've had this machine since like, 2019 and I never knew I needed to clean the espresso cup ;--;

[@pepmoran]

Great video thank you! Do you need a water filter if you use bottled water ?

[@manuelbenavente6226]

Can we use vinegar to descale the machine? Mine stopped doing the steam and hot water and decided to use vinegar and fixed the issues. Do you recommend to use it or not and why? Thanks for the video.

[@darrellpugh4138]

I noticed u only run the one cup to clean but I usually use the two cup setting. Does the one cup process clean both one cup and two cup settings or do u have to repeat same process for the two cup? I assume not since you didn’t mention but just wanted to be sure. Thanks and great video

[@rob2902]

Thanks you for your happy

[@mohdsanimuhamadyunos9839]

Hi Thank You for the video

[@jeannejarrell709]

I don't have the cleaning disk. Can I still use the tablets without this?

[@KeithGrommes]

Excellent job explaining the entire process! Thank you!!!

[@Leo-fx2je]

Thanks

[@techdude30]

Do I need to descale if I use bottled water all the time ?

[@rskye11]

Yes. Bottled water has added minerals like Magnesium that can build up around the heating element.

[@sevenohnine]

Press the power and the double cups buttons to go in the descale mode .... check! Press the power and both the single and double cups buttons to go in the cleaning mode .... check! Who the h*ll would remember these things after three months? Thanks! BTW, I used a deluded vinegar and water solution to descale my barista express instead of the expensive solution .... since I have to descale the machine so often .... it works great but I have to run an extra cycle of water to get rid of the slight smell of vinegar each time ....

[@zbmxking1676]

The solution only 25$ for 2 bottle’s. Not really expensive

[@prestonarsenault9975]

Vinegar can also ruin the o rings inside your machine, I repair these machines in my free time and the amount of dissolved o rings is unreal.

[@bchuang7516]

when I press the 2 cup button and the power button, the machine turns on immediately, what's wrong? anyone?

[@xluimax]

I'm having the same issue

[@vanessasolorzano4118]

Why after cleaning and descaling my light is still on?

[@JoeySchaefer64]

Just a guess, as I’m unfamiliar with your model, it could be that the machine is able to recognize scale build up by measuring water flow at some point inside. Or.. the machine may need to be manually told that the process is completed with a combination of buttons. Or broken.. 😢 just a guess, good luck!

[@roseybopp]

I couldn’t get my grinder out to clean it. I felt like I was going to break the handle.
