Here's how to descale a Breville espresso machine:

Descaling is a crucial part of maintaining your Breville espresso machine and ensuring optimal performance. Mineral buildup from water can affect the machine's heating ability, water flow, and overall coffee quality. Here's a general guide. Consult your specific model's manual for the most accurate and detailed instructions.

1. When to Descale: Most Breville espresso machines will have an indicator light that illuminates when descaling is necessary. Generally, descale every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you have hard water. Refer to your machine's manual for the specific indicator and recommended frequency.

2. Descaling Solution: You can use the Breville Descaling Solution or a commercially available espresso machine descaler. Alternatively, a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water can often be used, but check your machine's manual first to confirm compatibility. Never use undiluted vinegar.

3. Preparation: Remove the water filter from the water tank before descaling. Empty the drip tray and the water tank.

4. Mix the Solution: Prepare the descaling solution according to the product instructions or by mixing equal parts white vinegar and water. Fill the water tank with the descaling solution.

5. Initiate Descaling Mode: Most Breville machines have a dedicated descaling cycle. Refer to your machine's manual for the specific button combination or menu option to activate the descaling mode. It typically involves holding down one or two buttons while powering on the machine.

6. Descaling Cycle: The machine will automatically run the descaling solution through its internal components. This process may take 30-45 minutes. Ensure a large container is placed under the group head and steam wand to collect the dispensed solution.

7. Rinsing: After the descaling cycle is complete, thoroughly rinse the water tank with fresh water. Fill the tank with fresh water and run several rinse cycles to remove any remaining descaling solution. Dispense water through both the group head and the steam wand.

8. Replace Water Filter: Once rinsing is complete, replace the water filter with a new one, or reinstall the old one if it's still relatively new. Here are some important concepts for descaling a Breville espresso machine.
