I have a second hand breville BES860 and the grinder button has started just turning on and off on its own. Has any one else struck this? I've tried compressed air and food safe spray lube but no dice.

Hi there, recently I was given the BES860(5 years old) and been enjoying the real coffee. But I've noticed that the dial of grinder probably has been broken as I can't have a variety of the grind size even though I tried with different numbers... Also, I've noticed that my machine's dial is pretty hard to turn and there is not a click sound when I turned to a different number. I understand that this machine is old and probably need to bring a service station but apart from professional work, can I try something to fix this issue? Is anyone had a similar experience?

Had this machine for over 5 years using on a daily basis. I just noticed the machine was still heating even if it was turned OFF and gets very hot. I now have to unplug it from the wall socket. The machine tends to blow steam when I turn it back on which is unusual for me. The coffee is too hot and doesn't pour normally, has no creama and poor taste. Thinking I should throw it away and get a new one...but just checking in case there is an easy fix ? thanks

Hi, my Breville barista express single cup button once pressed doesn't automatically stop. I have reset it to default but that's done nothing. This has been an intermittent issue but now does it all the time. I also believe the double shot is starting to do the same thing.

Good Morning
Our Breville Barista Express BES860 has started to leak water excessively onto the bench top and the pressure in the milk steamer has dropped excessively. It takes quite awhile to heat the milk. Does this mean this appliance is of no further use or is it repairable at a reasonable one price.
Kind regards

I have a new one of these, replaced under Product Care, after the previous one died. So I know how to do the cleaning cycle! However, both times I’ve done the cleaning cycle, the water has come out the back of the machine, not through the group head. It’s like the group head is blocked. NO water at all comes through. It just all leaks out the hose at the back right of the machine. And then it dumps the excess.

If it was a new machine, it would be under product care but my product care ran out the week after I got this replacement so not sure it’s covered even though it is a new machine and only a couple of months old.

I have a feeling it is going to cost me money....

I did just find a post that as long as the water is going into the drip tray, there’s nothing to worry about.... Except that the ‘Clean Me’ light is still on!!

Firstly I love my Breville Barista Express BES860, can't go without my coffee and it makes them very well. I have 1-3 coffees per day and have had my machine for 11months and it has started to leak a significant amount of water out of the bottom right machine housing. It leaks when I make coffee, I regularly clean out the drip tray. No water appears to be leaking from the water reservoir or the seals. What should I do?

Hello. I have the Breville 800 I totally love it. Recently I noticed the machine even when in off mode makes a very faint humming noise. It’s scary as I don’t think this is normal. Everything else is superb. Any advice?

My BES860 got a power surge and, I'm assuming, blew a fuse. Power light still comes on but that's it. Assuming the main components are surge protected, it it possible for me to change the blown fuse?

Hi, the grind amount control doesn't adjust when I turn it, it stuck on max no matter which way I turn the knob. Is there a way to remedy this problem?

hi all. i just bought the machine yesterday. i find that the coffee is very wet and not draining properly from the grouping after the pressure goes down. i believe it should be damp and not have water sat in the grouping after the machine completes? am i under filling as i have trued to make the coffee grind much finer. Any help?
