Great details! Thank you very much!
Fantastic diagnosis of this machine - very helpful. Thank you very much!
this was very informative and step by step with clear instructions.
Wonderful video! So helpful. I liked how you used the machine and it's problems live - AND how to fix it. Perfect :) Hope you enjoy many more delicious caps to come!
Helped alot, thanks legend!
Very very helpful thank you!
Funny, informative, perfect.
Илья, спасибо за отличный видос. А то я свою уже разбирать собирался! Пойду промывать вместо этого😂
Perfect video! Great colour palette with calm written instructions & authentic audio. Like others I would love to know where you found the grind guard for the portafilter -so much less mess!!
this is the best video of all videos
Great vid - really useful.
That steam wand clog was personal 😂 I'm convinced these machines are women...So fickle, yet produces perfection with a little TLC!
Very helpful! Thanks
very helpful video, thanks
Fanstastic, many thx!
Thanks for your help !
sooooooo helpful !!! thank you sm
Fantastic video
thank you 👍👍👍
Thank you so much
Thanks you for explication
Thanks
you saved me
Hey, thanks for the useful video. I've bought the same machine couple of days ago, but when I try to make coffee the pressure is always at 0, and maybe sometimes goes a little higher. I've tried with already grounded coffee and from a machine grinder, and with different coffee filters that were in the box. (with already grounded coffee, the pressure was as it has to be, in the middle) Can you please suggest what else can be done?
Try empty pressurised/dual walled basket (15:10). If you get the pressure, then dial down external and/or internal grind setting (7:15). If not, then contact customer support.
Hi mine goes at 11’ o’clock with the plastic plug inside it doesn’t go higher. Is this an issue. Thanks.
Where did you get this funnel that fits so nice?
Either Amazon or AliExpress, just add 54mm to your search query.
Hi all,
My sage barista express doesn't let any water out of the group head for espresso, but the hot water and steam works fine. I just replaced the whole solenoid part, which I assume isn't defect. Any ideas to what it might be?
Hi, I am experiencing the same, I haven't changed the solenoid yet. Have you managed to fix your machine?
Can you use water + vinegar for descaling?
You always should flush your steam wand right away after wiping it out from the excess milk. this method would prevent your wand from blocking.
Hello. In sage, I replaced the gasket because during high pressure cleaning, the gasket shot and popped out. I replaced the gasket with a new one and the same thing happens. When cleaning under pressure, it shoots and the gasket pops out of the mount. Water flows sideways and cleaning cannot be completed by descaling. What should I do, help. Sage is no longer under warranty.
I'd record it happening and post the video and request for help in the espresso subreddit or a coffee forum. CZcams comments is probably not the best place for such technical support.
What size did you adjust burr for second time?
The default factory setting for internal burr is 6. Finding the right value is called "dialling in" and is based on shot taste and pull duration. For my beans, external 3 and internal 6 works well.
If the machine is new and you can’t get the pressure to say 9 bars, what could be wrong? Is it just the grind size?
Try empty pressurised/dual walled basket (15:10). If you get the pressure, then dial down external and/or internal grind setting (7:15). If not, then contact customer support.
same latte skills as me
привет. а если новая машина? почему точно такие же проблемы? спасибо
hehe congrats wined fight :)
Mine doesn’t have the internal bur adjustment
If yours has the little metal handle for the bur. You remove that handle, then you can turn the clockwise to make it finer.
I did the same in every steps, is still low pressure :(
The machine also does not have been descale for 4 years. So I used descaling from dezcal, the water that is comming out with descaling is not that black as yours, . When I use the blind filter, the pressure comes to the maximum, but when I use the double basket the pressure achieve at maximum 4 bar (even with finer grind).
What should I do?
I don't know, I'm not sure about the symptoms of a hardware failure, but there are a few videos on CZcams on replacing water pumps and other parts in a Breville machines. However, before taking the machine apart, I personally would descale it a few more times. May be try a stronger descaler like 5-20% citric acid solution.
i have the same problem and i figure out the Silicone Steam Ring was in bad situation. i bought a new one from amazon
Anyone has issue not able to activate the descaling mode by pressing 2 cup button first and power button ? How to manually descale ?
That's funtion use only for bes870 v.2 (see label below clean me have descale) but in v.1 just hold 1 or 2 cup until water in tank empty
I put kilrock descaler in the water tank & run it through all parts (including wand & water top up) & then follow up with white vinegar in the water tank. After that a full tank of water to wash out the chemicals (you can smell them if they are still there & vinegar is edible, so no need to worry too much). This is pretty much solved all the problems I have ever had with this machine, although mine is now a bit noisy, so I am no expert!
Well done to video maker high lighting these mere maintenance points of getting a good coffee from this machine. Theres alot involved in just this alone when it comes to wanting decent coffee, isnt there? Unfortunately, there are multiple aspects to components that fail on this particular machine and repairs are timely, very involved & costly. Ive had solenoid issues, steam gaskets, clogged water lines & now at the moment, I'm repairing the portafilter coupling collar which has loosened screws that need perma tightening. Really have to dismantle the whole machine in order to access them. 😢wish i didn't buy this machine at this point. Too many faults happen that are likey through bad design and its not user friendly for repairs.3/10 for me.
No coffee grinding. Both lights flasing
My God - what did I sign up for? 😵
Mine didn’t even move
Just bought new few days ago
