Yknow you don't have to put coffee in the basket to run the machine right? To rinse out after cleaning you can just run the machine a couple times with an empty basket. You might also consider backflushing twice, once with chemicals once without instead
@@geevee9582 Late reply but from what the instructions of most personal espresso machines say is to clean every 100 - 200 espressos. Which depending on use says 2 - 3 months.
Ironic given how most employees have no idea to use the machine or how nasty that coffee tastes Or at least they are NOT instructed. I always see them just filling the portafilter, no tamping, no wdt no nothing. Powder in PF straight into the machine
@@someguy9520Fr. I got the shittiest coffee I've ever had from a McDonald's. And I've had some bad cups of coffee the machine we used to have at home.
@sawkmicoc4287 i know that McDonald's doesn't give a shit to teach them, but at least the basics would be nice. The machines are easy to use and CAN make excellent coffee. But wrong grind size, no tamping, and a lot of other big issues make it a 2-3/10 at best. Could be a decent 4.5-5/10, even with the crap coffee they use
I usually go to different coffee shops and when the employee is not looking, I get the spilled beans from the floor or behind the grinder. ....no waste and eco friendly.
Why would you break the tablet? There is a specific spot for the tablet in the pad and they don't mention you need to break it. I assume it needs to remain whole for the gradual dissolving.
“empty the drip tray, and return it to its position. Then, place a two-liter container onto the drip tray, with the steam wand inside the container. Then, fill the water tank to the MAX line, and lock it back into the machine.

Next, press the '2-Cup' button to begin the cleaning cycle. When the cleaning cycle is complete, all three buttons will light up.”
I would make a suggestion that you need to pack a little more espresso in there or get your grind finer, I have way more delicious results on my breville when the dial is almost pegged to the top of the ideal range on the gauge
For those of you with a personal machine. How often do you guys backflush your machine? I work at a cafe so we do it at the end every day but thats just because we go through so much coffee
i do it everty time the machine asks for it ... every ~100 shots or so... every 2-3 months. there is a reason the machine is programed to request it at that interval.
Welcome to the saga of the cleaning disc with/without the hole. Good luck trying to get information on whether it's ok or not, so I'll tell you what I've gleaned online. Basically breville/sage issued their machines with a cleaning disc with a hole, then changed it to one without a hole circa 2020, then changed it back last year to having a hole again. All the videos online tend to be describing the process for the no-hole era. According to Sage there is still enough accumulated pressure to backflush the machine with the hole. Me? I'm not so sure, but I also don't want to damage my machine as I'm sure they went back to the hole for a reason they maybe don't want to say for litigation reasons. Anyway that's probably no help, but it is what it is.
@@JayM-wg7ddthe disk without the hole broke my machine. It stretched out the grouphead. I had to put a spacer in between the internal gasket so the portafilter could build pressure.

Think about how many shots you are pulling at work everyday. A home barista probably doesn’t pull that many shots in a month. Glad your work does this everyday. Same with mine, sometimes twice.
Almost all coffee shops do it everyday but home use its not needed it doesn’t matter how much coffee you like you are not drinking 300 or so espressos a day a coffee shops pull in average
@@thor8334 only benefit is that your machine doesn’t break. But this is a rule of thumb for actual daily use at 20 cups or more really. Backflushing sometimes happens hourly so it’s just good practice to do it daily at home
Descale and backflush are (or could be) done at the same time. Just add the desire descale product into the water tank when backflush. The "descale" light will go off after
@@Marinalin85 they should be carried out separately. Depending on the machine, different components need descaling, like the valves in an E61 need descaling, that water is then evacuated through the group. After that he's done the back flushing with caffetto or similar can be done. Exact method and process depends on the type of machine. For example, is it a HX, double boiler or something else.
@@robertsaca3512 its the same process, done through the same sequents of buttons. Doesn't matter if you are doing it at the same time, is just as effective plus you are saving time
@@robertsaca3512 right. On some. You didn't say it. You edited after On most (and I mean 90%) of them is possible. The rest of 10% can't backflush at all so it doesn't matter The only difference between the 2 is that the descale process goes through the portafilter, where on the backflush it goes back. So using descale products when you backflush, it also descales the whole system. It doesn't stop at the portafilter which is a plus

Is there a reason to do that before the machine asks you? Every 200 extractions iirc
How to clean a machine that doesn't have a back flush function?
You dont.
Should the grounds be soupy after you take it out?
No, you have work with the grind size and the amount you are filling it. Which by how you’re describing is it’s not full enough
I would make a suggestion that you need to pack a little more espresso in there or get your grind finer, I have way more delicious results on my breville when the dial is almost pegged to the top of the ideal range on the gauge

When I try to do this, it doesn't backflush. It just drops slowly through the basket.
are you using the rubber blocker?
@@emma_isnt_real Yes, but theres a little hole in the center of the rubber blocker underneath where you put the white tablet.
@@Chase77FisherShould not have a hole
Can anyone recommend a website to get good coffee from please?
If you're in Australia look up DONE coffee. Brewed in Port Macquarie, free shipping if you order over $80. Great tasting beans!
Is this the same process than “clean me” one?
Me watching this: it's simpler to dissemble it clean and reassemble !!!!
I sure hope the starbucks i go to clean their machine often😮
They lock out after 24 hours without a cleaning cycle
Cafes will (should) clean their machine every day when they close. A home machine won't need to be backwashed as often.
