DECALCIFYING

After regular use, hard water can cause mineral build up in and on many of the inner functioning components, reducing the brewing flow, power of the machine, and affecting the quality of coffee.

We advise decalcifying the machine on a regular basis (every 2–3 months) using a mixture of white vinegar and water.

Follow the instructions provided, or use the following as a guide:

Solution for decalcifying

Diluted Solution (for softer water)

1 part white vinegar

2 parts cold tap water

BES870 specifications

The Breville BES870, commonly known as the Barista Express, is a standout espresso machine that combines style, functionality, and efficiency, making it a favorite among coffee enthusiasts. This all-in-one machine not only allows users to grind their coffee beans fresh for each brew but also provides extensive control over the brewing process, ensuring a rich and personalized coffee experience.

One of the main features of the Barista Express is its built-in conical burr grinder. This grinder allows you to select the grind size and dose your coffee directly into the portafilter. With a choice of grind settings, the user can achieve their preferred consistency, from fine for espresso to coarser for other brewing methods. The grind size dial is simple to operate, making it easy to adjust according to various coffee types.

The machine boasts a powerful 15-bar Italian pump that ensures optimal water pressure during extraction. This is critical in producing a rich and aromatic espresso shot. Coupled with the thermocoil heating system, it provides quick heat-up times and stable temperatures essential for consistent brewing results. This is complemented by a pre-infusion function that gently expands the coffee grounds before full-pressure extraction, yielding a more balanced flavor.

Another notable characteristic of the Breville BES870 is its steam wand. The steam wand allows users to create microfoam for lattes and cappuccinos, which can elevate home coffee preparation to café-quality. With its intuitive design, the steam wand easily rotates for effortless frothing and texturing of milk.

The machine also features an integrated drip tray and a removable water tank, which holds up to 67 ounces, allowing for multiple brews before refilling. An informative LCD screen displays important brewing information such as grind size, shot time, and water temperature, ensuring users have all the necessary data at their fingertips for perfecting their brewing techniques.

In terms of design, the Breville Barista Express has an aesthetically pleasing stainless-steel exterior that not only looks professional but also ensures durability. The thoughtful construction, combined with its user-friendly controls, makes it suitable for both novice baristas and seasoned coffee lovers alike.

In summary, the Breville BES870 Barista Express is a sophisticated espresso machine that embodies the perfect blend of technology, design, and user control, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to elevate their coffee game at home.
