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. Do not overtighten screw.

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

This machine stands out due to its advanced dual boiler system, allowing users to extract espresso and steam milk simultaneously. This feature significantly reduces wait times, enabling a quicker workflow in busy morning routines or when entertaining guests.

One of the standout characteristics of the Breville BES920XL is its digital temperature control (PID) technology. This innovative feature ensures that the water temperature remains consistent for each shot, providing optimal extraction conditions.

Additionally, the machine features a stainless steel construction that not only provides durability but also gives it a professional look fitting for a high-end kitchen. The large water tank, capable of holding 84 ounces, means fewer trips to refill and the convenience of brewing multiple drinks in a row.

Another attractive aspect of the Breville BES920XL is its steam wand, featuring a commercial-style design. This steam wand allows for precise milk texturing and microfoam creation, essential for crafting lattes, cappuccinos, or flat whites. The easy-to-use control dials simplify the processes of adjusting steam pressure and temperature, making it accessible even for those new to espresso making.

In terms of user-friendly features, the BES920XL includes a clear LCD screen displaying important information, such as water temperature and brew time. The intuitive interface helps users navigate through different settings with ease.

Finally, the machine also comes with a range of accessories, including a portafilter, cleaning tools, and a stainless steel milk jug, providing everything needed to start making cafe-quality beverages at home.
