CARE & CLEANING

CLEANING THE STEAM WAND

•Immediately after texturing milk, wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth and purge (by lifting the STEAM LEVER for a few seconds).

•If any of the holes in the tip of the steam wand become blocked, ensure the STEAM LEVER is in the CLOSED position and clean using the pin on the end of the provided cleaning tool.

•If steam wand remains blocked, remove the tip using the integrated spanner in the cleaning tool and soak in hot water. Screw tip back onto the steam wand using the integrated spanner in the cleaning tool.

CLEANING THE FILTER BASKETS AND Portafilter

•The filter baskets and portafilter should be rinsed under hot water directly after use to remove all residual coffee oils.

CLEANING THE SHOWER SCREEN

•The group head interior and shower screen should be wiped with a damp cloth to remove any ground coffee particles.

•Periodically purge the machine with hot water (see ‘Advanced Functions’, page 19) with the filter basket and portafilter in place, without ground coffee, to rinse out any residual coffee.

5.Once loosened, carefully remove and retain the screw, stainless steel shower screen and black dispersion plate. Make note of the side of the shower screen and dispersion plate that are facing downwards. This will make re-assembly easier. Wash the shower screen and dispersion plate in warm soapy water, then dry thoroughly.

6.Remove the silicone seal with your fingers or a pair of long-nose pliers. Insert the new seal, flat side first, so the ribbed side is facing you.

7.Re-insert the dispersion plate, then the shower screen, then the screw. With your fingers, turn the screw clockwise for 2-3 revolutions then insert the Allen Key to tighten until the screw is flush with the shower screen.

8.Re-insert the drip tray and rear water tank.

This machine combines innovative technology with user-friendly features to create exceptional espresso beverages, making it a popular choice among coffee enthusiasts.

One of the standout features of the BES900XL is its dual boiler system.

It offers precise PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) temperature control, which enables users to select and maintain the ideal brewing temperature. This precision is critical for extracting the best flavors and aromas from coffee grounds, enhancing the overall espresso experience.

Additionally, the BES900XL features a shot clock, which helps users monitor the timing of their espresso extraction. This built-in timer assists in achieving the ideal shot duration, allowing for a more consistent and delicious brew. The machine also boasts a large water tank with a capacity of 84 ounces, reducing the frequency of refills during busy brewing sessions.

The BES900XL is equipped with a powerful steam wand for frothing milk. This steam wand features a 360-degree rotation, enabling baristas to create various milk textures and designs with ease. The manual control allows users to adjust the pressure and steam as needed, ensuring that they can achieve the desired microfoam for their coffee creations.

Durability is another essential aspect of the Breville BES900XL, which is built with high-quality materials and components. Its brushed stainless steel construction not only gives it a sleek appearance but also ensures longevity and resilience in daily use.

With its wealth of features, including dual boilers, precise temperature control, and a powerful steam wand, the Breville BES900XL caters to coffee lovers looking to elevate their espresso-making skills. Whether crafting a morning espresso or delivering a sophisticated latte art, this machine empowers users to achieve professional results at home.
