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!
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 ruclips.net/user/postUgkxBrV-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.
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.
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...
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!!!
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.
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
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 .
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
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.
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 !!
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
@@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.
@@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.
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).
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 😅
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.
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.
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???
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.
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 ....
@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
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.
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 ❤️
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
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
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 ?
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.
Ngl but am i the only who has trouble removing the grinder piece with the metal? Its literally always sooooo extremely hard to remove i have to get a man and a wrench to do it lmaooo yours looked so easy though… which makes me wonder if mines just messed up
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
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!
Breville doesn't recommend any of those items. Breville makes their own descale and tablets. Using those items is at your own risk. Probably sponsored.

Always going back to this video every time I need to clean or descale my machine. Thank you!
by far the best video that demonstrates all cleaning cycles- thanks for letting us know the use of all the tools
Glad it was helpful!

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

Just cleaned, descaled, etc and your video made it so much easier to do and understand. Thank you so much.
I’m so glad to hear that. Thank YOU!
I've got the newest breville express impress and these instructions follow the same! Thank you so much for the detailed step by step!
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
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!
You're welcome!

I'm so glad you like them! Good luck on your espresso journey!
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
Thank you so much! I’m glad you found this video helpful.
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
Don’t put it back any longer, my dad’s just broke down for the same reason lol

Most amazing video and so simply explained even a 5 year old can follow. And what a beautiful woman 🥰😍
You are so kind. Thank you so much! 😊
Excellent cleaning instructions, thank you!
You are welcome!
This was an excellent tutorial. Thank you!
Very thorough and helpful, all in one video! Thank you!
It was fun to clean all parts of our Breville Espresso Machine with Rose!
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.
Wow! Very thorough!
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 !!

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

C'est une excellente référence pour l'entretien de la machine Merci 😉
Great video. It helped me clean my espresso machine easily. Thank you
You're welcome! I'm glad to hear that.
Hi beautiful Rose
Thank you for sharing
Have a wonderful weekend 💕💕💕
Hello sweet Gina, I appreciate your support so much! Wish the same to you sweetheart! ❤️❤️
Great step by step - thank you!
You're welcome!
I really like coffee and my coffee machine but I think I fell in love... 😊🌹🌹🌹. Have a great day.
My Breville machine has only clean button, no descale underneath the word of "clean", do I still need to do descaling too?
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.
Thank you so much… answered so many questions regarding cleaning… excellent video 👏👍
Rose, thank you! Great video.
You are so welcome!
So detailed, thank you Rosy
You’re so welcome, Sam.
Waw,
This video is so useful!
Thank you 🤩
Thank you for the wonderful review 😊
Thanks this helpful a lot. How we can make the good grind amount and grind size perfectly, i can nit do it perfectly
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 😅
You are so welcome! Don't feel bad, I had a similar situation with something else recently. 😅
Great directions!
Amazing tutorial :)
Thank you!
Thank you so so so much!!!
Watching this video every 2 months
Thank you!! 🤲🙏
Really helpful video.
Super glad to hear that! Thank you!
instead of 3 times i flushed my machine 10 times
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?
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.
How do I know when I need to do a DISCALING(not a cleaning) on this machine ?
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.
Very detailed. Thank you
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???
No, you don’t have to remove it for the cleaning cycle, but for the descaling cycle you must remove it.
Nice video, explained clearly. How long does the whole cleaning process take?
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Do I need to use both tablets and liquid, or can I just use liquid descaler?
Hi rose which “one cup filter basket” the dual wall or single wall? The manual doesn’t say.
Thanks you for your happy
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.
I've had this machine since like, 2019 and I never knew I needed to clean the espresso cup ;--;
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 ....
The solution only 25$ for 2 bottle’s. Not really expensive
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.
@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
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.
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 ❤️
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
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

Excellent job explaining the entire process! Thank you!!!
It beeped twice after 10 sec.
Keep the portafilter in there, it cycles for 5mins
Thanks
How much descale solution to use? If we use the whole 200ml descaler would it be too much?😊
No water came out of the machine when I did the cleaning process! Any support is most appreciated!
Thank you maam🥰🥰🥰
Thank you! ❤
Great video thank you! Do you need a water filter if you use bottled water ?
What if you used the double cup for the pill?
Hi Thank You for the video
Pray tell, how do you remove the grinder wheel?
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 .

I don't have the cleaning disk. Can I still use the tablets without this?
Thank god for Shorts on RUclips so I don’t have to waste 11 mins on a video
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
Bring the steamer to top of the milk ( just below surface) it will foam up
Hello, can you share where you got the copper mug?
hmmm didnt get an alert about this episode
Make sure the notifications 🔔 is turned on. I heard some people said there bell was turned off even though it used to be on.
Do I need to descale if I use bottled water all the time ?
Yes. Bottled water has added minerals like Magnesium that can build up around the heating element.
💯
when I press the 2 cup button and the power button, the machine turns on immediately, what's wrong? anyone?
I couldn’t get my grinder out to clean it. I felt like I was going to break the handle.
❤❤❤❤
I have to clean mine every week..starting to hate the brand
That is for group head cleaning…not descaling…check it out again to make sure of it
Why after cleaning and descaling my light is still on?
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!
Salu je besoin cete masine
When I press all the buttons it just turns on
Press 1 cup and 2 cup together first and then the power. Hold the 3 buttons for few seconds....
