Good stuff!!! Thank you!

Hello, I have a loss of pressure after descaling :/

Some good info here. But: You dont have wait until coffee is going everywhere and mucking about pushing it back into basket, before you tamp it down. There is a tamper hanging on left side hey? Just lightly tamp down after each time you add grinds. You don't need to even remove tamper from machine, push up with basket. Seems obvious you dont use enough tamping pressure to compress grinds and why you need superfine grind. The crema still seems to be lacking. Just because you tamp to right level doesnt mean you have enough grounds. It is the rim on your tamper that stops the tamping not the amount of grinds in the basket - wrong. It depends on the pressure applied when tamping and this requires correct amount of grinds in basket. I find that by pushing UP with the basket on the tamper, the weight of the machine means pressure is about right when you tamp to correct level in basket, if you have correct grind setting. If the tamper pushes below the level on basket you need more grounds. The tamper you are using doesnt allow you tamp below the correct level. It is the coffee grinds that need to stop you tamping further not the rim on the tamper device.

Hi! Your videos are very good, ty! Quick question? How do you start/stop a shot “manually” ? My machine only has the preestablished times but I want to experiment ..

easy as pie after watching this video. I have an issue with no pressure on the steam wand, how can I tell which of those plastic tubes would be the one feeding the steam wand so I can check for mineral deposits?

If I don't do overstraction it becomes very sour

I hope you do a review of the grinder

Aju, when are you going to make an espresso? I'm dying to know how well it makes a shot

Hi, I have the Breville (Sage) Barista Impress - the one with the tamping system that let's you know if you're at the right level in your basket. It shows me green, it's 18g. I additionally try and make sure with the razor tool. Everything is perfect - yet the puck keeps on staying stuck to the shower head. It's like you HAVE to use a puck screen, otherwise it's always a mess. Any additional things I might be doing wrong here? Oh I was making sure the shower head is screwed all the way to the top and not sticking out too much. That can also be a problem

How do you make the steamed creamer float in decaf like you can with regular coffee?

Saved me from getting real cranky at the machine - thanks mate, problem fixed! Legend.

Thanks

I followed your instructions and mine ran for more than 60 seconds, should I manually stop it sooner?

does a bottomless portafilter eliminate this problem completely? I am new to espresso

Nice shot. I have a same machine, but I can't to make similar creamy coffee. May I ask your settings and the the coffee beans type?

This was very helpful! Thank you! Have you noticed very different settings when trying different beans?

Thank you!

Just wrong! You can't brew fresh roasted beans they need at least hours if not days to rest after roasting. So NO! Waste of time on this video.

Great video! Exactly the information I was looking for. Awesome detail and camera work. Definitely saved me from breaking my housing.

Thanks man. This really helped me out. My machine is better than new. I was removing unnecessary parts during the repair and ur video saved my a$$.

Thanks! I used this excellent video again !! 🙂

What a kind and valuable service you have done for those of us who have a Breville...I watched this video several times, but am too old and unfamiliar with working with all the wires and screws and nuts and bolts. Your description of the leak is exactly what happened with mine after 5 or 6 years; I have opted to make my espresso using a French press. Had my first cup this morning and it tasted identical to Breville's magical brew!!!!! All the best to you for having created this video!

Worked for me!!!! Thank you!!!!

you have to turn the grind dial all the way to MORE to get the full 18g out of the machine.. guess you can press it one more time to get it all out but judging by the amount it did not look like 18

Hi, I have a Breville Barista Max Espresso Machine VCF126 which was working. Now, when I switch it on, it beeps but there are no pumping noises. After a short time the steam lights flash but there are no noises. The machine stays like this, flashing lights and no noises. It therefore won't make coffee. The grinder works perfectly. Do you have any suggestions on what might have gone wrong and what I should look for when I open the machine. Many thanks

I have the opposite issue, but only with the single shot basket. I use non pressurized baskets for both single and double shot espresso. Beans and grind settings are common for both baskets. While using double shot basket, everything is fine, I get pressure between 12 and 1 o clock position with a beautiful shot. But with single shot (all other settings unchanged), the pressure rises above 1 o clock and then the machine spills the water all over the place, coming out of the top of the basket and spraying the ground all around the machine. The pressure immediately drops and I get coffee grind in the cup. If I use the double wall single shot basket, everything works fine! Any reason why it's happening only in single shot basket and how to fix it?

Cheers… very interesting, just going to roast my green beans and check at different intervals… sub

I was wondering why you did several doses of the single grinding rather than just selecting the double?

Great video, I will open my machine to hopefully find out, what the problem is. It doesn't stop automatically anymore during the brewing process. I have cleaned it completely, that fixed the problem for a while but now it's again there. Any idea? Thanks a lot and greetings from Germany 😊

Do we have to roast the beans we get from the stores like Wholefoods that are sold by weight and not in the sealed containers?

I recently bought the Barista Express machine. Definitely this is the best channel to learn on how to make a good espresso!! You explain the topics so well! Thanks Aju!

That saved me! That's three years I've been pulling lousy shots. Nothing about the burr in the manual. Thanks so much!

thank you

I regret not buying the barista pro and buying the express, the express sucks

Thank you!! 🥰

Passed by you at PB Atlantics, hope you did well. I’m finally getting pretty great espresso thanks to your channel, really appreciated all your content.

Wow. This fixed it for me. Thank you. I was ready to pay someone to diagnose the problem. Im beyond happy. Thanks man.

Used your method on my DeLonghi thank you!

Aju, I am new since mothers with my machine. I followed all your steps after reading the manual. Turned the machine off, and when I turned it on again, theclean/descale light continues on. What should I do?

Finally! as others have said, I have watched other videos but yours is the only one that worked. Can you also make another video for Single wall single shot? What is your dial size?

It looks impossible to unlock the inner part in my breville! I vacuumed and brush dusted too….😢I don’t want to force it, may break it…

Thank you for your time and explanations, it’s really valuable. What is currently the name of the black small container, that catches the grounded beans?

I exactly experiencing the same issue. hope it helps. Thanks.

I wonder if doing this is pushing excess grinds back into the machine. For me, I run a double shot through an empty group prior to using coffee. I find this removes coffee from the head without pushing it back into the machine.

So the solution is to put less coffee in the basket or to grind more coarse???

Hi Aju , I got a water leak with my breville I open the machine while looking at your video, however the water supply line is broken, where can I get to buy a replacement, the tube is 5 inches long & there's a little spring inside about 3 inches long.

Hello! I reset my water volume and now I am getting more water and not having the pressure issue, but I am still only getting a single shot of expresso when I run a double once I add my beans. What else should I try?

Whay is your internal grindsize set?
