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).

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!

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. 👋🏻

[mehtamanas]

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

[WetCoast]

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

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.

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

[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.

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 ....

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

[DavS]

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!

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

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 ❤️
