Where did you get the silicone to block the hot water spout? Many thanks!
@@with.the.y had a broken silicone bowl cover that worked perfect
The absolute best Slayer mod on UA-cam!
To those who drop things: always set the BVD on a large towel so small parts don’t hit the counter and bounce away into oblivion.
Instead of tweezers get a Kelly Forceps, also called a hemostat. They lock into place. If you want to use needle-nose pliers, slip a rubber band over the handles, so you have to use a little force to open the jaws. The rubber band tension will hold the jaws closed. If you are unlucky enough to lose a clip anyway, a piece of bendable wire the same thickness as the clip can be bent into a “U” shape, inserted into the holes in the valve housing, and twisted closed. It works great. I found my lost clip right after I invented this hack. Last, use magnetized screw driver heads as mentioned in the video.
great tips, I actually just got myself a hemostat cuz I have some doctors in the family and they had a bag of them hehe, I've already used it a few times for various repair jobs
I have some follow up vids on using the slayer mod
by far the most thorough guide on how to do this
Awesome tutorial, super clear and was able to successfully do the mod yesterday. Just some notes from my experience - firstly when removing the microcontroller switch and screwing in the screws to the holes for safe keeping - don’t screw them in all the way - i accidentally screwed one of them in too far and it ended up locking the hot water knob in place! Second tip is just to be super careful when reinserting the pins, its pretty easy to accidentally lose grip and drop one which would be very difficult to retrieve. So don’t be in a rush and do it carefully. Oh also - i’m in Australia have a 920 machine, my front screws were anticlockwise to unscrew
Amazing! Glad it helped and thanks for sharing! Def too easy to lose things in there
Hey! I've been watching your dual boiler videos for a while now and I really like them! keep them coming :)
I also own a Breville dual boiler and I've done a few mods to it as well. My latest one was replacing the original pump and OPV for a brass one, after the upgrade I've been having way better pressure consistency and the machine has been running much quieter as well!. I also read that this might prolong the longevity of your machine as the components are solid brass material and not just cheap plastic.
I am only telling you this because I know you are interested in doing mods and improving your gear. If you end up doing this mod, I'd be very keen to see you doing a video tutorial on this as the only video tutorial about it is not the best quality, a bit outdates and somewhat amateur.
Anyway, thanks for the videos!
Cheers from Australia
I’ve had the mod for a while now and love it. My shots have a whole new life and experience. I hope you gain as much and even more joy than me.
I will hold on to this video and try this after my warranty expires. Very thorough!! Nicely done Jess!
Thank you I have just done my slayer mod and am loving it!
Nice. I've only had the BDB for a few weeks, so I plan on using it 'stock' for a while, but I have every intention of doing the Slayer Mod eventually. There are a few vids out there about how to do this - but I'm glad you made one. You really do a great job with these - kudos.
Wow I just binged a lot of your videos now that I’ve recently got the dual boiler but even your other videos not related to the machine are really good !! Your videos are quite criminally underrated 😵
Thank you thank you for the lovely comment and welcome aboard 🚂
Great instructional vid 👍
Great video, thank you!
Thanks for the guide. 👍 I'd seen this mod mentioned a while back by Lance Hendrick and had been meaning to do it on my 920 here in OZ, but like a lot of things, never got around to doing it. This video was the catalyst to get it done, so in preparation, I have ordered an O-ring kit and they should be here next week. In the meantime, I removed the 2 screws underneath the front panel, and as others have mentioned, I found them to be a normal right-hand thread and a non-JIS spec Philips head screwdriver works fine.
Great in-depth video. Going to try it at some point. Interested in seeing what your results are
Great video! I plan on purchasing the dual boiler and doing this mod.
Feel free to come back and share any tips or how it went when you do
You are the slayer. Such good work.
🤟
Looks nice and clear! I’m still low on time to actually do this, but maybe over summer break I’ll finally do the mid that was kinda the whole reason I opted for this specific machine, hah
Amazing video, brilliant tutorial, extremely easy to follow. I find that you are very generous with information and you obviously enjoy helping people. I am now a real fan. Thank you very much for your efforts, I am very grateful
Have to say that's one mod I'm yet to do to one of my BDB's. The PTFE tubes are the same on the 900 and the 920 so the process will be the same. If you have some food grade lubricant, lube up the o-rings as well and they'll last longer. I love how Breville called the triac board a cup warmer. It's really just the board that turns on the heaters for the steam and coffee boilers and the heater for the group head.The triacs generate a lot of heat and are cooled by transferring the heat through the heat sink into the top cover which we use to heat our cups. Pretty smart really. Oh and if you lose the little hitch pins, try shaking the machine upside down over a towel and if that doesn't work, look for '7/32" hitch pin external' online and grab some replacements. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this mod.
Thanx 😁
Wow! Modded is better thanks 😘
Can't wait to see how you like it! I started using flow control on my E61 and found that it works really really well. I found the dial in tutorial on the Slayer YT channel to be really helpful for dialing it in (they also have a flow chart pdf for reference). I'm not sure if the 20s pre infusion and 30s brew time would convert 1:1 with a smaller portafilter but it may be a good starting spot.
Smaller portafilter? Be careful, throwing insults like that around is dangerous! 😂
FYI, the Breville dual boiler, (and Oracle models I think) use full sized 58mm
I've had a Decent Espresso for three years now and haven't been reading much of anything on the BDB.
Will definitely do this mod and get the machine working again for possible resale. Always liked it but using tap water eventually messed it up.
Nice clear video!
The warranty being cancelled for doing this mod is kinda funny. Breville should have been in the forefront of this modification for consumers. Unbelievable!
from a company standpoint, it makes sense as they don't want to be responsible for someone messing up the internals, not everyone is handy
Keep the ☕️ vids coming!
I have had the slayer mod on my BDB for more than 3 years now. it literally worth trying. it gives a new dimension to the experience! now you could try 3-6 low pressure long extraction, regular 3-9-3 slayer shots or whatever you want to try.
Is that with light roasts and how you brew? Using pressure gauge?
Thanks for the tutorial - but please note - righty tighty, lefty loosey does apply!. In the video you were unscrewing the screw CCW - as it should be. Always need to look from the orientation bottom of screwdriver towards the screw head.
Good point! Thanks for clearing that up
masterfully done, looking forward to the next videos with the results. I haven't done the mod yet, probably better to wait that my machine goes out of warranty in 1y.
there's a follow up video on how to perform the slayer mod :)
@@GadgetsGearCoffee made by you? coming out soon?
@@izoard77 it's already out! Check the description
Went through the HB thread and also some of the older vids, but it didnt gave me much confidence to do it because i felt it wasnt clear enough. This is a great, great example of how to do a tutorial.
Usually I dont leave comments but this is peak content making. Slayer mod is one of the main reason I bought into BDB and will definitely be referencing your video when I get around it.
I also saw your comments on the reddit regarding existing tutorials and am glad you came around making a much better tutorial to help those that will experience the same issues as you did.
One question I have is why the hot water spigot might leak. Based on your diagram, there is no longer any instruction for the solenoid to send water towards the hot water spigot, and with the silicon in place to exert negative pressure, so I’m not sure why some people are still experiencing leaking from the spigot
That one is a mystery I've been trying to solve and still don't have an answer to :/ unless my diagram is wrong but I used Phil Knight's old video for the water, went over all the videos I could find and HB threads to piece it together and confirm and it makes sense. I'm thinking maybe there is just too much pressure it wants to go through there anyway somehow?
And thank you for the kind words :) I definitely hesitated doing the slayer mod myself because I didn't find it clear elsewhere and didn't feel confident doing it myself so I'm glad it can help others
Excellent video.. thanks for sharing. I was able to 1-up you though ..referring to the dropped screw. I managed to drop one of the tiny hose clips into one of the deepest, darkest places inside the machine but thanks to a small telescopic magnet, I was able to retrieve it.
nice!! you already had it on hand or you got the telescopic magnet from seeing my tutorial?
..was holding the clip with needle-nose pliers and was attempting to re-insert into the middle of the three ‘ports’ of the solenoid. The clip wasn’t perfectly aligned and when I applied pressure to get that satisfying click, it became dislodged & fell. I inherited a telescopic magnet from my dad & watched him use it countless times performing auto repair. Your video was more helpful than the others I’ve seen b/c the others do not mention disconnecting the switch which activates the solenoid at the knob. THANK YOU for that!!! Saved me from disassembling another time. Now I’m working on a mod w/ your slayer mod but keeping the function of the water spigot..waiting on parts to arrive & could be a bust but will be a fun experiment. Might paint the side panels like Eddie Van Halen’s guitar in the meantime 🤟🏼🤩 🎸
Will keep you posted.. in the meantime, please keep posting the great content & sorry for the long reply. Cheers!
I must have insanely large hands, or Breville has somehow made it so my machine hates me. I lost one of the clips, with it falling into what seemed like the group head.
I really hope a cut down, and bent paperclip can handle some pressure, and that my machine doesn't kill me by shorting against a part of the case with the screw, or two that I've lost. Such is life.
(After about 5 hours, and a lot of strife, it works. Hits up to 11 bar with a cleaning disk in a dual wall, and I don't hear spraying or arcing from the machine so success)
Would you be able to do a how to upgrade / change the needle valve for this mod? I did the slayer mod via your help and it works great but the dial is too sensitive and I be needing some HALP figuring out how to change this
So after being inspired by you, I decided to do the Slayer mod using your instructions (which are great btw). Relatively straightforward but the part where I struggled was plugging the hot water spigot. Mine still leaks a bit but the mod works. I think I'll end up capping mine off though. I plan to leave the valve fully open unless I want to do pressure profiling. Also I'm not sure what effects leaving it open and pushing pressure back into the distribution block for the hot water spigot and the steam wand is going to do long term but I don't feel like trying so I'll cap it off.
Mine leaks a little, tho less than before when I redid the silicone cut out. I read it needs to be a thick silicone so I'll try to double stack until I get something else. Still works tho
Amazing video! I dont own one of these, but damn is it interesting!
you don't own one of them... yet 😉 what machine do you have?
15:53 this in fact is known as the ‘triac board’… its purpose is to control the heating elements in the boilers and manage power to them. Its placed on the top of the machine to make use of the space for heat dissipation from the heat sync. Doesn't at all have anything to do with being a ‘heater’ for the top of the machine; the boilers get really hot thus heating the top cover…. P.s love from the UK 🇬🇧
thanks for sharing! the more you know!
What is that hot water tap switch doing?? I only have the control wheel but no switches besides it (from the outside). You unscrew it but left it in the same place so, what did that action do?
Great video, but righty righty lefty lost still applies, you’re just upside down, you’re still turning CCW to unscrew on the plane you are working on.
Ahhhh thanks for clarifying that I thought I was losing my mind!
Awesome Video! But I could never find the time or patience to do this 😂 Would pay $1000 for someone to do this 😂😂😂 So cool though! Did not have a clue this was possible!! Thank you 🫶
Does it void the warranty?
Jess could u also make a tips and tricks video about the bdb, something like also to resolve problems that can occurs. I've just solved the gurgling in pre-infusion changing the percent in setting, simple but not immediate to know. U can do a good job i'm sure of this.....😉
That's too vague...what problems? You most likely can google that. I have tons of videos on the BDB for tips and tricks otherwise already on my channel, shorts and long videos 😉
In my case, after 1 month of use machine starts gurgling during the pre-infusion and the espresso extraction takes 10 more seconds, seems caused by a lost in pressure.
The solution was to change the percentage of pre-infusion from the minimum to 60, the reason was a long use time at the minimum value.
Something like this...😉
@@claudiobarone4162 perhaps open it and adjust the OPV valve? See if you're getting good pressure (~10) with the blind basket on
I might attempt this mod on a different machine, would it still work if I bypass the line after the solenoid and before the group head or does it have to be between the boiler and the solenoid?
Unsure I only did this mod
Hey Jess I have a question for you. My breville duel boiler now has mist bubbles in the front pressure gauge and in the lcd screen. Any ideas on why and how to fix would be greatly appreciated! Duane
no idea on this one sorry :\ I believe you can buy a replacement part for it but I would definitely open it up and check for leaks
Great video, thanks Jess. I have a A quick question - you mentioned that the mod would void your warranty, but what if you reverted everything back to normal beforehand? Or would Sage/Breville be able to tell you've modded the machine, i.e.are any seals broken during the process or anything like that? Thanks once again.
I have no idea tbh what they're looking for, maybe if you reverse it back they won't know I couldn't see any type of seal but there may be some inside
@@GadgetsGearCoffee thank you 😊
Doesn’t look like you ever did the follow up video showing how you liked using the Slayer mod… I can’t see it anywhere. Great video though, I’m working on a friend’s 920, replaced all of his o-rings for him, and he needs some other things replaced, such as the thing you called “the cup tray heater” which is screwed to the top, that is actually not a heater, it’s called a Triac Board, and it controls the heating of the two boilers.
If you get a leak from a perished o-ring on the steam boiler, very common, steam will leak up and cause malfunction of that triac board, and you will get weird behaviour or complete failure of the boilers, and then the thermal fuse will blow on the brew boiler if you don’t switch it off at the wall before it overheats. Yep, just switching the machine off won’t work, because the triac will allow the brew boiler to continue heating so long as it’s plugged into the wall outlet!
Ya I haven't made one yet, lots of notes but still figuring things out
what happens to the pressure? is it still 9 bar?
and could you then do a dimmer mod for the pump to control pressure as well?
you can still reach 9 bar yes once you open the valve open which doesn't require a lot to open up. It's quite sensitive.
would you recommend doing a dimmer mod for the pump to have pressure profiling? @@GadgetsGearCoffee
@@jpjay1584 set PI time to 99, then set PI pressure at whatever you want, no need for any mod
can you do a video of using it? and showing how to replicate stock modes for the 3 buttons?
it's being worked on but it will be a while before it's released
@@GadgetsGearCoffee it is possible though right? To replicate the stock functions?
@@jlyt18 yes, the valve is just an open close (and gradual)
did you ever removed shower screen to check the group head? is the coating peeling like on other Dual Boilers?
Haven't noticed it yet!
What are your pre-infusion settings on the dual boiler when doing a slayer shot?
0s, I'll explain in an upcoming video, will likely be released in a 2-3 months from now
@@GadgetsGearCoffee thank you so much! There seems to be a good amount of info out there on how to complete the slayer mod and pull a shot using flow profiling, but I can’t seem to find clarification on what pre-infusion time and pressure settings to use on the dual boiler. Your answer here is what I’ve always suspected, so I appreciate the confirmation! Pre-infusion time of 0 would mean full pressure the entire shot, just like the actual slayer, with pre-infusion controlled with flow, not pressure. Looking forward to your upcoming video. Also, I think this is the best video out there on how to complete the mod, so congrats!
Didn't know the front screws were reverse threaded. Wonder why?
I don't know, I tried to look it up. I know in some industries like car some screws are reversed threading because of the possibility of the time coming undone with time for important moving parts. But here? Not sure
@@GadgetsGearCoffee the main reasons for reverse threads are when there are rotating parts. If your threaded part rotates in the direction of unscrewing it will unscrew itself. But in this case as there's no moving parts I'd say the main reason is to discourage people from opening the machine.
All that talking and bla bla bla BUT SHE NEVER TESTED to see how works
