- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- Wondering how to easily swap espresso shot baskets in your Breville Barista Express? Here's a quick guide on how to do it without trashing your butterknives or fingernails.
I literally just belly laughed after trying your trick. Yes, several finger nails were sacrificed before I bothered googling it.
SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS VIDEO I’ve felt so silly for not being able to change my basket!
I'm a general contractor, self taught engineer, and artist. I couldn't figure it out.
Why t doesn't Breville include a puller for these? All it would need to be is a piece of ABS that snapped over the portafilter.
Thank you so much for this. I was looking for a tool and read the manual. I didn't want to ruin my nails or possibly ruin the basket using my butter knife.
youtube is amazing. I could find a video for something as trivial and simple (but as difficult) as this. Thanks!
Works like a charm, thank you! Love "nobody's getting out of bed for a single shot of espresso." Truth!
Life, butter knife, and nail saver. Thank you!
Just bought this and RUclipsd it and found this helpful vid !! Saved my fingernails ! Thank you ! !!!😊
Thank god you made this video --I was sacrificing a butter knife, but also sure I was missing some instruction on locking!
Its the small things in this world, that makes the difference... like this Video!! Thank you alot 😄
I just assumed I was the only one using a butter knife! Just assumed removing the basket was a part of espresso lessons I missed :)
Ahhhh something so simple but so complicated. Thank you I am just setting up the my brand new Barista Express and it comes with the filter stuck in it. I went the knife route uncessfully. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Shame on Breville for not providing a tool; I don't like the idea of using and potentially damaging another filter basket to do this job.
It’s definitely not just Breville. I have a $1700 Rancilio and it has the exact same problem. Can’t believe there isn’t a designated tool for this!
I just got a breville and was totally stumped bc it came with the 2 cup single wall already in the portafilter. I’m replacing my DeLonghi where the filter basket drops in and spins to lock, so this did not seem like it could possibly be the way it was designed. 🤦🏻♀️
Youve got two hands, bro. No filter needed.
You could always buy a cell phone repair kit that has a plastic pry tool, it’s not Breville addressing the problem, but it will solve the problem for about five dollars.
Awesome, this absolutely works. I thought is going to damage the other one, but no. Great stuff.
Perfect! Didn't damage my single shot basket too. Thank you sir
This is a brilliant idea! Right away it solved my problem!
Thank you so much for making this tutorial. I needed to change it to run the clean cycle and was getting very frustrated.
Just tried it the way you show and it's just so easy. Thanx😅
I just got one of these and there is not a single word about how to remove the basket. I am very unimpressed.
Waaaaaaw thank You man its like magic 😂 I have been fighting with it since yesterday
Salam from Duabi 🇦🇪
Thank you for the easy and clear solution/hack.
Worked first time! Thanks
Thank you! 😮💨 I not only tried to sacrifice a butter knife, I lost some skin on my fingers in the process.
Thank you for your kind review
Thanks to you, my wife can easily eliminate basket.

I cannot believe that I spent 20 minutes fumbling with fingernails and butter knives to get the filter out when it was this easy. Literally 2 seconds total.
Well this worked better than I thought
I just got a barista pro and it's wild that they spent so much money on very high quality tools but neglected one that comes with a cheap Mr coffee unit
WOW!! Thank you so much for this tip
This was really useful, thank you!
Yes, this works great! I have a basket from a previous machine so can use it with no worries about damage to the new one.
awesome trick. Lovely!
The scraper tool that’s included also works but it chipped a little so I stopped doing that. Dedicated butter knife all day
Can we use the naked basket?
Owe you a thousand likes ❤
Amazing. Thank you!
Thanks. I just got one, no idea how to remove the basket .😀
Thank you so much, you saved my fingernails 🤣
Wow, thank you! I have flimsy nails so I was wondering how the heck I was going to be able to clean my machine’s parts after use… this was awesome 😊
Very useful. Thank you!
Genius! Thank you
THANK YOU! This really helped.
Thanks mate, didn't want to damage my new filters
Have been using this method but i feel that prolonged usage of this method may result in the circumference of the filter basket widening overtime 🤔
thanks! it broke my thumb-nail removing it.
LIFE SAVER!!! Thanks so much!
Just use the leveling razor thing provided by breville
That is also a good idea!
Thanks! It works really well! 😄
Thank you
Thank you sir
That works thanks for the advice.
Thanks!
Wish I’d seen this before cracking a nail!
Minus two thumb nails!!! Tx a bunch!
Thanks
Nice video, thanks man!
Wow amazing thank you!
Thank you so much!!!!
it starts at 0:39
Omg thank you!!
Easily done thanks to you! 😄
I wish I had known that before scraping my thumb raw.
Thank you!
Bruh… game changer.
Good idea. Mine comes off by simply using my thumb...I bite my nails so no problem with fingernails:-) A plus for fingernail biters...
Thank you!!!!

Breville should design a tool meant to remove the basket. It's not elegant at all having to come up with a hack for such a well designed machine
Outfuckingstanding soldier
My fingernails thank you
I don't know how this worked for anyone else but it didn't for me. I couldn't even get the one wedged into the other. If anyone has any other ideas let me know. (I also tried a regular dinner knife and that didn't work either). And yes, shame of Breville for not including a tool for this.
Prod fail. It should not be this difficult.
Did not work
Thank you!!!!
Thank you!!!
