Breville Compact Café BES250 Questions & Answers

Hi there,

I have just inherited this machine, and when trying to make coffee I get a fine strong jet of water spraying into the cup from the center hole instead of coming out of the two sides of the filter eject system. Sorry in advance if this is an ignorant question, but this is surely not normal. I have tried cleaning the filter but no change. What am I doing wrong?

It says you can use the spanner in the cleaning tool to take the end off the steamer to clean it. Which way does the end turn? Clockwise or anti-clockwise? It is quite tight, and I don't want to force it the wrong way!

How to remove the tools from the storage?

How do you get the cleaning tool out?

Hi... I just bought a new BES250 unit. It worked fine until yesterday. When I turned the power ON. The red light is on but the loud sound was gone. Only small amount of water came out from the filter. I've tried to switch to steam, the result was the same. Is the pump not working? What should i do to fix the problem?

Hi there, we have a Cafe Venezia and repeatedly have the same problem! The plastic section immediately behind the drip tray keeps melting in a v-shape and more water then seems to start collecting under the drip tray. We took the first one back to the store we bought it from, when we noticed this was happening. They gave us a replacement machine and after approx 8 times of using it, it has started to happen again!! We never leave it on, switch it off immediately after using and only use it twice a day anyway. Besides this, we really enjoy the machine but feel that this is a pretty serious problem. Anybody else have the same issue?

No water is coming through my machine.... Any ideas? Thanx ...

My machine seems to be working, heats up ok and makes the right noises, water tank full but the water does not run through when I turn to esspresso or froth. How do I know if I need a replacement pump?

I tried to find the use of the cleaning tool stored under my Breville 250, but cannot find it anywhere. Could somebody please tell me what the use of this tool is and how I use it.

Should it make loud noise and shaking?

Hi,
My Breville BES250 started spitting coffee and stream out over the filter basket, a quick check showed the seal had torn. I have now replaced the seal solving the spitting coffee problem. However, i now have a second problem, the water no longer squirts through the shower screen like it used to leaving the coffee more like brown tasteless water! The water comes through the shower screen in 2 or 3 constant streams with no real pressure or purpose! its as if the pump is not providing enough force or pressure to drive the water through into a fine spray.
Any help, advice or suggestions are most welcome
