Sirrrrrr!!! You saved my life!!! You have no idea! I kept having issues with pressure so I did what you suggested by change to the dual wall. When I took out the other wall I noticed that the cleaning disk was in the filter. Once I took the disk out and used the dual wall I got PRESSSSUREEEEEEE!!! Thank you soooo much! I’ve watched so many videos within the past year and yours fixed the issue within mins. My internal grinder is set to 3 and my outside to 8.
Glad to hear that and thanks for your message
Thank you so much! I was worried that my breville was broken but thanks for your video, it helped me fixed my machine. More powers to you!
Thank you!! I tested my pressure, it's good, went to the 11:00 hour!! Guess my problem is my coffee beans, too old, and/or settings...burr & grind. Will play with the settings now. Thanks so much!!!
Hi, I have low blood pressure problems. I already did what you did in the blood pressure video. It worked for me for a few days, it's already in the same conditions as I do, thanks
I don't know about that issue, but if you have low pressure on BBE then fix is here th-cam.com/video/ifI4AajrDOQ/w-d-xo.html
Great videos! You saved my wife and I using this crazy machine. Thanks man
Glad to hear that
I did both pressure tests.
1. with the dual wall single or double shot pressurized basket I push the double shot button and release it immediately - the pressure gauge does not record any pressure
2. with the dual wall single or double shot pressurized basket I push the double shot button for approx 10-15 seconds and then release it - the pressure gauge records pressure
3. with the cleaning disk using the single wall double shot basket releasing the button immediately or delaying releasing it 10-15 sec: the pressure gauge records pressure
What conclusion do I draw? Is my machine OK or not?
What if I have the opposite problem?
Too much pressure? I’m having problems with high pressure
Great video once again! I need help! I think my Barista Express has a problem. I've just tried pulling through 4 espressos using fresh coffee beans (roasted within the last week) which I have successfully used a few times recently. This time, no liquid came through and the pressure gauge did not move. I pressed the two cup button with a cleaning disc in the portafilter, the gauge did not move. I tried again with an empty double walled one cup basket, no liquid came through and the gauge did not move. However, water does come through if there is no portafilter in the grouphead. I am not sure what the problem is. Any advice please?
Thank you for this! I was about to give up after the pressurized basket attempt, but when I tried the pressurized basket + cleaning disk, the needle shot up full pressure right when I was about to give up. Now it works fine, even when I attempted only with the pressurized basket with no cleaning disk. Very weird
You should get around 10 'o clock pressure with pressurized basket, without disk on Double shot. Try 5 times and see if the pressure drops.
@@AjusCafe it does! Thanks!!
@@resalith great you are good then. Low pressure is mainly due to stale beans or store bought beans. Try to get freshly Roasted beans from a local roaster and see the magic.
I tried to use the coffee cleaning tablet but again no water is on the tablet after the 5 minute process.
نفس المشكلة عندي
ما الحل؟!
This was super informative, thank you!
Welcome
Thanks so much, all this time I had no pressure because I wasn’t using the double wall cup. Doh! 😂
No... you did the right thing by using single walled. You are supposed to use single walled. The issue to be corrected is - buy freshly Roasted beans (with Roasted date less than a week old). Then use single walled basket. The double walled is for preground coffee only. It won't bring all the espresso flavors out.
With my machine, when I press the 2 cups, there's no pressure. When I press the 1 cup, it has pressure, I don't understand why?
Worked for me!!!! Thank you!!!!
Welcome
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?
Thanks!
With the cleaning disc, I'm only getting around 11 o'clock... Do you think it is working correctly? It is new
Thanks Aju, great information
You are welcome
Great video thanks 🙏 🎉
Hi great video ive been watching your videos and you have educated me heaps i was ready to throw my machine in the bin . Thank you
Glad to hear that
My problem is when I test the machine and use the dual wall pressurized cup, instead of going to 11am on the pressure dial, it goes all the way up to the highest pressure - no water comes out. When I put coffee in this same cup, no coffee comes out. However, when I put coffee in the perforated cup, the pressure is too low and doesn’t achieve the grey area - and no crema is formed. Have you had this combination of results before? What would the issue be? Thank you!
My issue with this machine is that the ideal pressure meassurements do not match with recommended extraction times. If I get lower than 12 o'clock pressures, my extractions get a bit fast maybe a bit lower than 20 secods. For me to get almost to 30 seconds, I have to get pressure to 1 o'clock or higher.
That numbers vary according to the beans you use. Usually for this machine, most of the beans extract well when its at 1 o clock pressure range. If you want to stop the extraction at 20 seconds just press again any extraction button. So you can manually stop.
Hi, I’m trying to fix my broken machine. It’s not holding pressure will pull shots with cleaner head and dual wall filter and it’ll only get to about 25-30% pressure. I’ve cleaned the shower head group and inspected the gasket both clean and no cracks.
I’ve opened up the back of the machine and see no visible leaks. Still very low pressure and I have no idea how to fix.
Please help if you can.
Hi . thank you for your video. My coffee maker is a Breville model BES870XL/B unfortunately the pressure does not rise. The gauge is working. The pump worked by taking out an output pipe from it and turning it on, and it had a good output pressure. All the pipes are clean, and I cleaned them twice with special tablets. The steam works and there is no problem. I still could not find the problem. If I find it, I have the possibility to repair it. I have two guesses, one is the external stream ring and casket and the other is the solenoid valve.
In the first case, the device has no leaks at all, neither internal nor external pipes. Thank you for your advice in advance
Have you opened the GroupHead shower screen to clean? After removing the screen, press double cup button and see how much ounce water you get?
What is broken in the machine if non of this is working?:( is it the waterpomp that needs to replace ??
Pump generats pressure
My Breville Barista impress is pretty new and I think I have some pressure problems. I tested with the cleaning disk and the I didn’t have high pressure like yours. Mine went to the middle on the green range. Should I take mine Breville for service already? Thanks for you video.
I have exactly the same problem
@@carpenoctem82 did you send yours for service?
I just descaled and tried to extract but I only get high pressure no coffee? What would be the problem? Please help. I have a Breville express
i have a weird thing going on with my Sage Barista pro
i hadn't used it for a while and had ordered new beans and received them
I opened the bag and thought i had immediately found my right grind settings as during the pre brew infusion phase of the extraction nothing came dripping out (which used to be a good indicator for me) but weirdly enough no pressure built op on the pressure gauge. then the shot started pouring pretty nicely, extraction wasn't too slow or fast and it looked nice.
but the pressure gauge only started rising near the end of the shot and never really got to the point i expedted it to go to.
any ideas on what could be wrong? been happening every time since...
I have replaced both solenoids on my sage barista express and doing the test you have just done, still does not give high pressure. Using the rubber backflush method im lucky if it reaches 12 oclock
Does your cleaning disk have a hole? Also is your machine like brand new bought less than a year?
@@AjusCafe no hole in cleaning disk and machine is 3 years old.
When I test using my double wall filter, the pressure goes beyond the gray range and registers very high pressure. So I was worried that the water flow is clogged somewhere inside the machine. Then I use a single wall filter without cleaning kit, there is no pressure. So I guess the water flow is not clogged inside. Is it because my double wall filter is clogged? If so how do you suggest to clean the filter to unclog? The double wall filter has been used for long time and I simply rinse it after each time I use it.
Also I saw in your video, your cleaning disk does not have a hole in the middle. Mine has a hole of needle tip size in the middle. So when I use it along with a single wall filter for testing, there is no pressure.
Your machine seems good and there is hole is backflush disk in 1st generation machines. All good there. Your Pressurized basket need some clean. th-cam.com/video/oNEgUli_DwA/w-d-xo.html

What are reasons to replace a slayer steam x group 2
Thanks 🙂
Thank u you are a lifesaver
Thank you
Good stuff mate
Thanks
Sir,u follow your step to test my pressure but seems it’s until middle inside of the epresso range but not the higher than that. So this also looks ok?
Thank you for the video. I have this new machine and I'm struggling with the pressure and also pathetic crema. I've been thoroughly demoralised for 2 days but having watched this video, there is hope! I'll be nipping to the local roaster very soon and then throw these supermarket beans
awesome thanks very much for your video appreciated
You are welcome
Many thanks
Thanks
My pressure is registering but nowhere in the middle of the gray zone. The pressure with cleaning disk is right in the middle. What am I doing wrong ? I'm using fresh beans.
Does your cleaning disk have a hole in the middle?
Hi there. Thank you for the videos. The pre infusion process has stopped working on my Breville barista express. It sounds like a low hum and steam sounds during this part of the process now whereas the pump sound used to run and then when it went into extraction mode it would get louder. It is not registering any pressure until extraction mode. Please help. Thanks.
During preinfusion, there will be no pressure or very less pressure shown. But if it makes sound then I suspect Solenoid. See this video to find if it sounds similar th-cam.com/video/LosOY6NjiFM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=W0KX_yuB4XNwo1z5
It used to always show pressure in the pre infusion area of the gauge. Now the needle doesn’t move until extraction and it goes into the extraction area of the gauge as expected . If it is solenoid would the extraction process be working normally? Thank you.
When I am using the rubber seal basket to clean, the pressure gauge always stuck at 11 o'clock, is it normal? I never can get pressure over 11 o'clock, but still it produce good coffee for me.. I don't know if it is an issue on the gauge or the pumping machine.. 😢
I noticed the same thing on my new machine we bought 4 days ago. I called customer service and they mentioned that is the expected pressure for the newer machines. They didn't explain why.
Does your rubber disk has a hole in the middle? Then its normal.
Some machines comes with rubber disk with a hole. Then you get low pressure
@@AjusCafe no hole on the disk. It looks like the newer machines have the pressue reduced from factory. They realized people were doing the OTP mod to redução pressure and getting good results
Is this machine 9 bar when making espresso?
The pressure Guage shows how many bars pressure. If its in grey zone, its around 9 bar pressure.
When I’m pulling a shot my gauge is at good pressure but it then jumps up higher and then the shot stops. Any idea why? I just bought it the other day and it took me prob 25 shots to dial my store bought labeled “fresh roasted” espresso beans.
Every time you buy new beans you need to dial in. Assuming you are using Non-pressurized basket? Make sure the holes are not block. Change your grind size to more coarser and see. Normally it starts with Pre-Infusion in low pressure and then full extraction in 9 bar pressure. So that jump is normal.
So if I am not getting pressure but its not the beans or the grind? Like when not getting pressure even with the pressure basket…how to fix it? 😓😓 anybody any tips thanks
How much pressure do you get? Atleast half-way?
@@AjusCafe thanks for your reply!
not even near the gray area! The maximum I saw it lift was a few lines up only. This trying the pressure basket.
@@fannyhenao9861Descale the machine few times and try again. When you use Pressurized Basket, did you use with cleaning disk in it? (Silicon disk). If not insert that as shown in the video and let me know.
good video I have a good pressure in my espresso , but enough water in the shot, any help, and also I don't know why and don't received any notifications from your r channel..
Thank you for subscribing. I have been busy traveling as we have summer here. So i wasn't able to do any videos. Check my other video on water Volume th-cam.com/video/jtczkX4DPS8/w-d-xo.html

Hi bro. Thanks for this great video.
I have a question.
My machine can get to the 11 oc pressure with dual wall basket but it can't get higher pressure with cleaning blind rubber . My cleaning rubber has no hole in the middle and its fully blinded!
Does my machine have problem ?
Make sure you place it straight down in the basket. Was there any water dripping during test? Try single size basket pressurized.
Secondly physically observe the silicon gasket on the ground head. If its worn out or cracked, Pressure can leak
@@AjusCafe i used single basket too. No difference at all and i check the washer no tear and leakge found. Is it possible that problem comes from pump?
@@hassanmoneminoodehi973 does the pump sound different? I would change the pump as last option. When did you last descale your machine? Amd were you doing descale regularly?
If not, I'd strongly suggest you to do another 1 or 2 descale cycle and test again.
Thank you so much for your life saving video. Really appreciate it!
What grind size should i use for non pressure basket?
Always use Non-pressurized basket
I learned something so you get a like
Thank you
Just bought this machine but I think not working properly. I try like you said with dual wall basket but pressure going just little bit more then second line into grey area. Like watch ho indicate a bit more then 10 o clock. After that I tryed with plastic cleaning pod and the pressure isn't going to the maximum it's going just to 12 o clock. I would like to know if it s alright or something it's wrong with my machine. The model is barista express impress. And there is no hole in that cleaning disc. I have tried serveral times but the pressure is not going more then 12 even less. What can I do. Is it possible to have a issue with the machine? I will ask the seller to replace it. Thank you!
I don't have Impress, and I'm not too sure if they've adjusted the pressure to get 9 bar compared to 15 bar pressure on Barista Express. I also came across with another Imoress user saying the same thing like u, after he did the pressure test. So I think there is nothing wrong with your machine. But if u got it replaced, can u do the same test and confirm if you get 9 or 15 bar pressure with blank disk?
@@AjusCafe I have the exact same problem. The first Breville Barista Express BES870 unit from Amazon I had was only getting to about 11 o'clock during the pressure test using the cleaning disc method (w/ no hole). So I called Amazon up and got a new replacement unit sent out.
The second replacement unit has arrived and I've ran the pressure test using the cleaning disc method (w/ no hole) again and the pressure gauge reading is marginally better with the gauge reaching to 12 o'clock. This is a reading which is within the 'ideal range' yet with no water coming out, this leads me to believe the pressure/pressure gauge is faulty on this unit as well.
The pressure guage doesn't get close to the max pressure you demostrated in this demo. I wonder if this is a common problem across these models.
@@AjusCafe I think the other user you are talking about is also me. I commented on the user iiitttaaalllyyy2424 in the lines below. I haven't been able to get in touch with costumer support at sage yet, but I've been watching official barista videos and I think this is the maximum pressure this machine can reach. If 9 bars is a bad thing or a good thing, I still don't know because I'm a beginner in espresso. I think only you can tell me if it is good or bad. I had an automatic coffee machine in the past. Even the new editions of the barista express models, from what I saw on the official website, were changed from 15 to 9 bars. I'm talking about the model you make videos for. So the colleague who wrote below may not have any problem with the pressure on the express model. I think that the producer should publicly clarify this problem through a video and thus avoid returns. Why don't they make a video about changing the pressure and what pressure these newer models can reach? If you can do a video with this model and the max pressure can get this machine I ll be glad to wach it.
@@geany5900 To answer your question, espresso pressure should be between 7-11 bar ideally. Some machines like BBE has 15 bar pressure. Is 9 bar good or bad? My answer is 9 bar is good and that's the number for rich, think, concentrated espresso shot and it will greatly reduce spurs related to channeling. So I will wait for you or other user to confirm this after they get a reply from Breville about Impress. Thank you.
Hey geandanborali7290, thank you all for your input and replies, and a special thanks to Aju's Cafe for making this video and replying so promptly on a 7-month-old video (you're a credit to the entire coffee community and we appreciate it).
Now on to business...I've just gotten off the phone with Breville customer support and they have assured me that all the newer models are physically limited to 9-bars of pressure max.
This means the Pressure gauge during the pressure test will only show a reading of about 11:30 (i.e just before the needle points fully vertical). As I mentioned in my earlier reply that I've had 2 of these new models and both read virtually the exact same (give or take a 1mm or 2mm). I did mention to them that they really should have made it clear in the manual or maybe even installed a new pressure gauge itself since using the old style one is very misleading and considering they haven't updated their youtube pressure test videos to explain this or demonstrate the new models newer pressure reading; how is anyone supposed to know. The support agent helping me mentioned to me they are constantly receiving calls daily for this very reason.
1st Side Note: I purchased mine from Amazon and when I was under the impression that the first machine I received was faulty they sent me out a new machine which arrived 14 hours later (I placed a call to Amazon customer support at 7 pm and the new machine showed up at 9 am the next day) absolutely incredible customer service and zero wait time on the phone.
2nd Side Note: Breville did explain that these newer models' lower 9-bar pressure limit is really the ideal pressure for coffee but also the wear on the coffee machine is considerably less and kinder to the machine's internal parts itself, especially since newcomers who tend to constantly over pressuring there machine. They still use the same 15-bar pressure pump but are limited to 9-bars.
3rd Side Note: I'm using the BBE (Breville Barista Express BES870) but these new bar pressure changes have been rolled out across other models they make as well (e.g the Impress).
So there we have folks, I hope this helps everyone who has been concerned their machine is faulty/not working correctly.
What about high pressure?
That can be controlled by grinding it Coarser and less Tamping pressure.
Thank you! Machine was working perfectly I wonder if bean quality is also an issue.
@@vr4966 bean can affect. But usually you get low pressure on stale beans. On the other hand some beans grind very fine and that can generate high pressure
What are your thoughts on over flow hose can that need cleaning?
@@vr4966 when you do the CLEAN cycle (backflush), it will take care of that
Mine goes so high when i make coffee...water just drips out
Grind your beans coarser if your pressure is high. You need to dial in to get the correct extraction. th-cam.com/video/XoRRjoI8Ck8/w-d-xo.html
Mines at 8 bar when resting
You mean 8 bar when you use a blind disk? Does the disk have a hole in the middle?
zero pressure. how to fix?
Does it make good coffee? Do you hear the pump working well and flow is restricted when making espresso? If yes then the pressure gauge needs replacement.
@@AjusCafe no flow whatsoever, no coffee, no pressure on the gauge. Did descale before it told me to see if works. I'm using the fine ground + double wall, and I'm getting nothing back.
@@joekim4345 if there is no flow then pump failed. It will need to be replaced. Contact Breville service.

You can adjust playback speed now fam.
This is so true about using old coffee beans... I thought my machine was broken, as I was getting no pressure at all, I bought new beans, and night and day difference..
You got it right there
I love your videos! They are so easy to follow and very informative! Thank you so much! Your videos have helped me to keep my machine running perfectly and to help troubleshoot issues I may be having! Thanks again!
Thanks for the feedback and so glad to hear that 😊
Can someone please help, I’m getting between 55-65g out of my machine from 18g of coffee grinded between 4-5 setting with burr internal of 3. Is my machine broken ? I’ve performed the pressure test in the video and it’s perfect but still getting too much liquid 😞
Great video! I was doubting my machine as I switch coffee beans... Used the fresh ones and issue was resolved!
That's the right thing to do
using the cleaning disk my pressure only goes up to 11 o clock
with the dual wall, im only getting half pressure ( 11'o''clock).
I wonder why its not getting any higher.
That all you get with dual wall basket. If u need to see MAXIMUM Pressure, use your cleaning disk with it. Make sure u have the disk without a hole in the middle
Hi i use the cleaning disk still 11 oclock pressure :(
Same problem here😢
Thanks for the knowledge in this video! It is the perfect guide for testing the machine!
Hi, My Machinw, when using dual vale, nothing brewing out nad presure reaches beond the gray area. can you let me know how to resolve this issue. i opend and cleaned the hose too that goes to presure gage.
Are you getting some water out when you run the machine without coffee grinds in a dual wall? If yes, the you need to grind your beans coarser. Example if you are at 4, set it and 8 and see
Thanks for your video, but 1 question, please.
My machine does not (ever) reach 1 o'clock. Should I return my breville?
I tried your rubber disc method, pressurized portafilter method, adjusting outer burrs to grind finer using fresh beans. Only reaches 11 o'clock. I have never ever seen a 1 o'clock pressure on my machine, some say it's perfectly fine with 9 bars machine, some reach 1 o'clock just fine with 9 bars... I am so confused!
New machines are set at 9 bar pressure. So its normal what you get.
The beans are fresh..
Thank you for this video. You have clearly explained and provided step-by-step instructions on how to check the machine and make sure it’s not the problem. This has lessened my anxiety as i just got the breville dual boiler machine and has bought a less than 2week old beans from our fave roaster, but still the pressure isn’t going up and flow rate is fast. I’m still playing with the grinder settings to see what will work.
Good day I’m having problems because no water is coming through from the water tank..any help is most appreciated
Is the pump working?
Your pipes might be clogged then.
th-cam.com/video/uX7UcQIO4HU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0M3wRPu-8VGzAdwI
Wouldn't putting a cleaning tablet in it, and running a cleaning cycle show you if the pressure is working?
Once you know the pump is working, you can then figure out why the coffee pressure is not because now you know it is not the machine, it is you.
Yes. Both cycles are similar. But you don't want to waste cleaning tablets just to check pressure right?
sadly you just verified my brand new 1 month old machine is garbage :(
Hang on... if its new machine, the pressure is restricted to 9 bar pressure. If there is hole in your silicon disk then it shows less pressure too. Pls confirm if there is hole in the disk and how much pressure do you get
Thanks for your video. Really helpfull fot lots of people.
Just bought Breville Barista Express machine last month. But when i tested the pressure with cleaning disk. It's only get 11 o'clock pressure. Why not get full pressure ? Any suggestion ? Thank you.
Did u press double cup button? Does your cleaning disk have a hole? Did you tighten your portafilter all the way to the right?
Already did all that.
@@harveyfarrell4095 then it sounds like your pump is weak or faulty. Call Breville support for a replacement
Hi did you fix your machine? did you get full pressure?
I did the pressure test with the single wall double shot + cleaning disk without a hole. No water came out and the pressure gauge didn't go higher than 12 o'clock. My machine is 2 days old. Do you think i have a faulty machine?
Gone through 500 grams of beans, from finest to coarse. ALways sour coffee and never a pressure build up..
Nice video. I roast my own beans. How many days rest should I give them before using in the machine. Technically I could use them within minutes of roasting - you can't get fresher than that, however others have advised to let them set-up for at least 5-7 days. Can you comment on that? Thanks.
A week would be good to rest. I sometimes use it from day 4
@@AjusCafe Thanks I ran some after 4 days - very good, going to roast a few batches tomorrow.
0k tq
Thank you!!!!!
Yes that's exactly what I did and my gage reads centered so is that working properly or is there a problem with the pressure setting
I''ll give those tests a try, but I've been using the same coffee, same grind, same tamping tools and the pressure is reading low. It tastes OK too.
Just got a brand new one, on any test I do pressure doesn’t reach to high. Is there something wrong with it ?
Rule #1: grind finer.
HI, I hope you wil see my comment. My Brevile does not go higher as 10 bar no mather what I do. And it is brand new!! I tought the first one was broken, so I change it. But this one is the same. Do you know why??
I heard the new Breville's pressure is adjusted to 9 - 10bar. Rather than 14 bar. So you are good. Also does your cleaning disk have a hole?
Thank you for answering my question!! My disc does not have a hole! I have performed the test several times and every time it goes up to 10 bars !!
@@attilamolnar1646thanks for the reply. So yes if you get 10 bar pressure in a new machine, you are good. When you make espresso, are you getting in range of 9 bar atleast? Just to let you know 9 bar is the most acceptable espresso extraction
Yes I get 9 bar wen I make the expreso!! Thanks for answering my question!!!
It's happening, because you have a coarse grind of coffee.
What happens?
Very usefull information. thank you very much.
Thank you for your videos!
I did both methods.
1. method was fine with 5 bar pressure
2. method was with 5 bar only.
So is my machine broken now?
5 bar means the pressure Guage is below the grey mark? I'd suggest Descale your machine few times and try again
My pressure gauge would not move, but watching this video and changing the cup or whatever it is, it is working now. All I have to do now. Is test it with the coffee and see how it goes.
I added my coffee, and it works very well, and it taste really good
Excellent video
Hello! My breville does have pressure, it goes up to gray area on the dial gauge, but no coffe come out at all.! Please any help!
What is the grind size you use?
Great video. Thank you
Thank you!
I just noticed that your portafilter is missing the black rubber liner? Please explain why?
Good question. I explained it in another video th-cam.com/video/TMpJ1LRqwwI/w-d-xo.html
Less plastic is better for me 🙂
Hi there, so if your machina was working properly after the tests, why the espresso didn’t come out good in your first trial? What was wrong in this case?
How was the taste? Bitter or Sour? Did you warmup the machine, portafilter, basket etc before the 1st shot?
GREATB VIDEO VERY INFORMATIVE THANK YOU WILL BE WATCHING ALLOF YOUR VIDEOS
Thank you so much
This video is fantastic, you've made my coffee so much better! Thank you very much.
Thank you
Thank you for your post…
Hello Aju, what if during extraction, the coffee drips instead of flowing? It is weird because one day that just happened, it wasn’t like that before. Before I could get nice crema, honey-like flowing coffee. And this time the pressure spiked as well, way above the grey area. Hope you see my question..
That means your grind size is too fine. So its choking the hot water flow. To fix, grind it coarser (2 or 3 steps higher grind size number) and try again. Are u using pressurized basket?
@@AjusCafei see, I didn’t think of that before! Thank you so much Aju, I will try to grind more coarse. It happened right after changing beans. Really appreciate your view.
@@AjusCafeoh yes, I’m using the dual wall basket as usual.
Hi there. Thank you for this. I get pressure with the dual wall basket but no pressure with the single wall. Why would that be?
Nicely shot video with some good tips.
Welcome
That's brilliant information. Thank you
You are welcome
Thank you! So glad my machine is working!
Great
Great video, well explained 👍🏻
Thank you
Hi I use the non pressurize basket and the cleaning disk without hole. I only get 11 oclock pressure range. I dont get the Maximum Pressure same to your video. Thank you
When you do this, do you see any water dripping from the Portafilter?
@@AjusCafe no dripping of water sir
I’ve just done the same test no dripping water and my machine also only reaches 11 o’clock pressure. I’ve tried both test and multiple different coffee beans, grind sizes, tamping etc and my machine won’t go higher than 11 o’clock.
I am in the process of sending it back to be fixed or replaced as it is likely to be faulty :(
@@samantha.mackenzie Are you both using Breville Barista Express OR the new Breville Impress?
@@AjusCafe I have the Breville Barista Express
Aju, my machine is new, but when I test the pressure like you do in the video it only gets to the 9:00 position, just below the espresso range. I've tested with the dual wall single cup and the dual wall double cup with the same results. Does this mean there is something wrong with my machine? Every espresso I've attempted to make has been sour
If your machine is new and if the Pressure test failed, then there os something wrong. What Pressure do you get when you use the cleaning silicone disk with pressurized single cup basket? More than 9 o clock?
Same problem with my machine. I tried with the dual wall double cup and the presure going a bit more 10 position. And with the cleaning disc not going up to 12 even less. I have tried serveral times but the pressure is not going more then 12 even less. What can I do. Is it possible to have a issue with the machine? And the machine is new. Bought few days ago. Thank you!
@@geany5900 One question.. When did you last descale your machine. Clean cycle is different from Descale cycle.
If not then I'd suggest you to do 2 or 3 cycles of Descale cycle and test again.
Yeah but the machine is new. I bouth two days ago. Stll need to descale if the machine is new?
@@geany5900 Not in that case. Is it Breville Barista Express? You should contact Breville support and they should replace this with a new machine
