You are the only one to explain the usefulness of that sharp point of the cleaning tool. Even BREVILLE don't in their owner manual. CONGRATS and THANK YOU.
Welcome and thank you
Can I tell you that this whole video was mind blowing. Thank you for saving me! I thought my machine was a goner but turns out...I just need to wash the filter baskets after every use 😅
So glad to hear that. Cleaning, Descaling, all coffee Components ensures long run of this machine. Enjoy your espresso 👍
Just had the very same experience! I was even looking up videos on taking the machine apart, lol! Now I’m sitting here with my cappuccino, thank you so much!! Definitely subscribing for future issues I might have. ☺️
for those of you with plugged dual wall filters the fix is shown at 6:35 ...works perfectly. thanks
Thank you so much for this complete video! Breville parts are not available anymore. I am going to clean all my filters using your method. 😊
Welcome
This just helped me fixed my clogged dual wall filter. Thanks!
Gald to hear that
Thank u so much man, that way i got my machine puring again. I really appreciate your help
You are welcome
Excellent practical advice I’ve struggled with blockages in the double shot casket I’ll try the needle - learned a ton the best advice ever !! Thank you
Finally, information that works! Thank you so much.
You are welcome
Great video. I’m the first to admit that I have no patience but I found this video informative and SO helpful but also quite relaxing. Thank you.
Aw.. thank you
Thanks again Aju! I didn't even realize that we have a cleaning kit inside the package :D
You taught me something new today, I never knew about the micro pin on the back of that. Thanks Aju!
Welcome
With the dual floor coffee basket: the inside floor (lots of little holes at 7m44s) is only pressed in place. Put the whole thing right way up on a stove burner/hot plate (mine’s halogen). When it’s too hot to touch grab it with an oven mitt and slam it onto a cutting board up-side-down. The inside filter will come out. Clean all the stale coffee grounds and crud out of there then put it back together. It’ll just press back in place. Added bonus: because the stale old coffee residue is gone the coffee tastes better. Yoooou’re welcome! :)
Thank you. I know of few people who removed the inner layer. I don't use Pressurized basket.
@@AjusCafe I’ve had this machine for 11 years. The non-pressurised basket has sat on to of it the whole time. I’ve never used it and I don’t know why. I should give it a go just in case I like it.
Well, that was awful! At least I know now.
Thank you! After trying everything as recommended I have solved my problem with your advice. Hubby and I only drink black coffee so we use the pressurized filter all the time. We clean it each time. But that's not enough. It has to be taken apart as you suggest. The muck had now been cleaned out thoroughly and we are enjoying our long blacks again.
Oh my god, i just found what i have been filtering my coffee through for the last six months, I feel like im going to be sick. Thanks for the tip!
I just scrub my Barista Express filters with a small brush head. Yes, the key is to wash/rise immediately after use. Thank you Aju!
I had no idea I even had that tool 😭 thank you for the information!
Welcome
Was helpfull for my clogged doble filter basket. Thank you very much!👍
Thank you! This got ours brewing again. My wife is happy again, she needs her espresso!
Glad to hear that
Used your method on my DeLonghi thank you!
Thanks, man! Just unclogged the pressurized filter and works great again!
Glad to hear that 👍
@@AjusCafe I just picked up the Acaia scale. I have a Breville Bambino Plus machine and Baratza 30. Feeling pretty good with new setup from a Mr. Coffee Cafe Barista machine. Any thoughts on the Breville Bambino Express? Any other machines come to mind that would be a good upgrade?
thank you, I have Breville and managed even to open the filter baskets inside. It was very dirty and clogged.
Good to hear that
How did you open the filter basket?
Thankyou for your time in making this video. 😊
You are welcome
Top Tip, thanks mate. Up and brewing again!
With the double shot, double wall basket, you’re best pushing the pin through from the inside. You’ll see it pop through to the outside.
Sometimes the inner layer has moved a bit. In that case it may not come out
Thank you!
Thank you for this video, exactly what I needed.
You are welcome
Brilliant very helpful thank you very much for posting this 👍🏼
You are welcome
Just found out from a BBE FB Group the filter plate can be removed from the dual wall pressurised basket. Just knock the basket flat against a hard surface and it will pop out. Probably have to knock harder the 1st time.
I saw that and I'm not sure this can be easily removed like in that video. I would be surprised if it comes off that easy. Anyway i don't use Pressurized basket. So mine is as good as new 🙂
@@AjusCafe I also don't use the pressurised baskets. Anyway tried out of curiosity - yes, it worked, but had to throw very hard. 😅
@@judelhj vow you managed to open!! Cool. I wish I could see that video 😃👍. Anyway thank you for confirming that.
A great way of testing to see whether it is clogged I found is by sucking on the holes either side. If you don’t feel any air pulling through, it is blocked.
Yes right
Thanks for this very helpful video!!
Thank you
It worked! Thank you!
Hot water and baking soda bro, works just fine. We put it in boiling water as well with the baking soda ;)
Hey gracias por ese video, fue de mucha utilidad.
Searching for the "hole" took way longer than how long most people would figure out. Time is precious be to the point.
I soak mine in Cafiza which I also use in the back flushing of my machine
I am dealing with this problem now. I have that Breville tool. I think the point is it is for cleaning the one exit hole. You can't assume all holes on all baskets are that size the poker it. I got a new machine today and have been reading about it and experimenting. The facts are not in, but tomorrow I am going to try the poker on the old basket and if it works, well I have a machine I did not have to get. Hopefully I will use it when the other one dies and for spare parts.
I just take an old toothbrush and use tweezers to hold one of the plastic bristles and clean out the holes. Works great.
Fixed! Thankyou!
I boiled mine in a small sauce pan for about 5 minutes with salt. Thanks.
Good to know. Never heard of that method.
Thank you Sir.
thanks
Thank you
awesome thank you
Thank you!!!!
Thanks
Thank you so much!!!!!!!
You are welcome
Nice video!!
I'm struggling with my pressurized single coffee filter of a Delonghi ECP 35.31 Expresso machine!! I've tried anything, but not even single drop of liquid fall from that filter :(
Thank you. Are you getting flow without any coffee Grinds, just hot water? If yes then Grind Coarser and see.
@@AjusCafe thank you for your answer. I wasn't getting any water flow, even with just water. As desperate measure, I burnt the filter on the stove several times. Now I'm getting water flow but, with coffee in it, I' m only extracting some dropplets...
@@pmsr1980 i had a delonghi with a very weak water flow. It could be the water pump failing. Probably it'll soon need a replacement.
I’ve got the same model @Pedro.
My first one broke after less than a year of use, same problem as yours. I got it replaced via warranty. The same pressure problem is starting again. I’ve tried leaving the filter baskets in hot water. After a few minutes, I saw some coffee fall out. Hopefully that solves the problem.
Life saver!!!
Thank you
Thank you I appreciate the information. However, I use constantly the double cup which clogs a lot .
Even you could not get the needle all the way through it. I will try again everything you have suggested , even heating the cup on the stove, Again Many Many Thanks.
The needle won't go through Dual wall basket, all the way through. That's normal, as there are 2 layers of basket. You could always check it by using it in a portafilter and run hot water through it without grinds. You should get hot water flow and pressure up in 11 o clock range.
@@AjusCafe It goes: my dual basket was very clogged and after trying it with the thin pin for some time, it finally went through! (and solved the problem). Many thanks!
@@erikamarsal524 glad go hear that 👍
Hey, great vids! Looking to see how to remove the screen where the water comes out to the porta filter. It sprays water everywhere. Thanks!
Hey it’s not the filter baskets, it where the water comes out from. 👍🏼🤷♂️
You need to replace the silicon GroupHead seal. Here is a video on how to remove GroupHead screen. Use a spoon to pull down the silicon and push in a new one

Great help thank you - after much googling and googling you finally solved my problem :)
Glad to hear that
I need filters for my barista express which doy you think would be better charcoal or ion exchange on Amazon, don’t know the difference
I'd recommend to buy Breville's water filter which is charcoal. You could try other brands, but check out the reviews too.
@@AjusCafe thank you
Thanks bro
Welcome
Thx bro :)
Thanks
Aju any suggestions for getting the broken wire out of the hole
I would try to take it out with a nose plier and a lens to see it clearly. Also biil the basket and see.
helpful 👍
I just got a breville bambino plus and my pressurize baskets are not letting any water through even without coffee in it. I’ve also notice a lot of water stays in the basket with the regular baskets. Does anyone have this issue on a new machine/basket? Is it a pressure issue or baskets or both?
Water will stay in Pressurized basket.
ua-cam.com/video/U7uDE-E-Z3I/v-deo.html
Can you do this test 3:29 sec of this video above and confirm there is that jet of water coming out of your double wall?
The pin wouldn’t go through the other side of the dual wall basket is because there are 2 walls in the basket - when you out the pin through you can feel it hits the other inner wall
That's right. Sometimes you can get through that single hole in a certain angle. That's from outside to inside direction. Some people have taken out the inner layer of Pressurized basket.
I would think removing the inner wall would affect its performance? Wouldn’t be as pressurized?
@@iq4681 I mean, they take out just for cleaning. There will be a thin layer of coffee stains there, plus you can access the single hole with the pin. And then place it back before use.
I see. Thank you 😊
Where do I get that pin? Thank u!
You can buy it from Breville or just Google the part SP0001524.
It should show store near your region.
Can you run them thru the dishwasher?
Nothing wrong in throwing them in dishwasher. But the best hands free method is to dip filter Baskets in Cafiza. Nothing can do better clean than Cafiza, to remove coffee oils, coffee stains etc. See my review ua-cam.com/video/DaWr5lJZpEM/v-deo.html
Is hot water able to kill bacteria in the filter no soap or something needed???
Hot water is great for regular cleaning. But to clean tough coffee dirt, stains, old coffee oil builds etc you need to use Cafiza and soak then in this solution. See this video
ua-cam.com/video/DaWr5lJZpEM/v-deo.html
That's great, but your demo raises other questions. Like, how do I clean between the dual walls? If they're not actually fused together, which it seems they're not since you can put that little pin in at an angle, then how does one battle the mold that would certainly grow in warm, damp, organic conditions?
Thank you and thats a great question about dual wall filters. I know of very few who managed to open the inner layer off the Pressurized basket by tapping the basket hard upside down. I don't use the Pressurized basket as it won't give you all parameters of espresso. And i tried once to open it and I couldn't. Didn't want to force and make it out of shape. But you can try it out. Never leave the basket wet. Dry them and you shouldn't get mold.
Ive also cooked it on a stove top for 5min and soaked it in vinegar overnight, that and a pin often do the trick
Cafiza works magic too
What kind of fancy schmanzy coffeemakers do you guys have that you have those? All I have is a filter basket where you put filter paper with the coffee grounds in. Lol
There is some great difference between drip coffee and 15 bar pressure extracted espresso. Read about them and have a taste. 🙂👍
@@AjusCafe Lol. I knew about espresso machines but I was googling how to clean my filter basket from my drip coffeemaker because the coffee doesn't actually drip anymore lol, which led me to your video because of its title. Lol. But I think there should be a more precise/appropriate term for those to separate them from my good ole basket, which DOES look like a real basket. 😜
@@Dr__Feelgood i see 🙂.
Use vinegar, baking soda, soap and a gentle brush to remove coffee stains and oil from drip coffee filter.
@@AjusCafe Okay, thanks. Should I soak it overnight with that solution first, though? That's what I got from others as well.
@@Dr__Feelgood Vinegar may react to plastic upon long contact. But few hours won't do any damage. Then gently brush it with soapy water.
Didn't work for me. Double wall filter still not letting water go through after doing the step u mentioned 😞

cant find the cleaning kit on amazon, anybody can help me ?
Its available on Breville site www.breville.com/us/en/parts-accessories/parts/sp0013647.html
My two shot basket is clogged
Did you manage to clean now? Always remember to rinse the basket immediately after the shot
@@AjusCafe Thanks. I tried everything: , soap, vinegar, burning off the clogged grounds, nothing worked.
I ended up buying a new two-shot basket with a removable bottom for easy cleaning. Lesson learned.
@@DoroteoVilla always clean your basket immediately after Extraction. Thanks for the feedback
I used the pins and it's still f**ked ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Use a sewing needle
That creepy background music 🙁
took 15 mins to say wash it and poke it
Sorry it look long for you. I was trying to show it practical rather than reading the manual in few seconds.
12 minutes though? Concise please !
I didn't count that part 🙂
Dude speed up, get to the point and show the solution. Video is so damn slow.
12mins?
Just get to the point man.
You could have edited this down to less than 2 mins and got a million more views.
Thanks everyone is different.
That intro is so long just show how to do the damn thing. I didnt came here to be lectured
If you tap the double skin basket upside down onto a wooden chopping board the inside double skin will eventually fall out and you can clean out all the coffee residue which is behind all the holes. That will 100% mean it will become unblocked & you can use it again
#KRO 💙🤍🐧
Not every backet is easy to open, especially new ones. I tried all those and none of my double walled baskets opened. I have several baskets, but none worked
I have a sage with the 4 baskets provided 2 x double skins both came apart with a little patience. Can't talk about others.
I see heat in the right place helps .. I've not had to use heat..
Trial & error .. & patience
Thank you!!! 😁
Thanks
