    Is it the basket?

    published

    the machine works well with single shot basket. Good pressure nice extraction etc. When using the double shot basket i can not get the pressure as high as i would like no matter what grind or tamping pressure or how full the basket. Do i need to change the basket or am I missing something?

    i am using a sunbeam coffee grinder that worked well with my previous espresso machine. I get good pressure when using the single shot basket.

    Are both the single and the double baskets "single wall"? There is no reason you'd not be able to get good pressure with the double if you are with the single other than grind fineness or dose ^PM

    4 years on and I still use this every day to make my coffee before work. Hasn't skipped a beat. Now have a Breville conical grinder to compliment this machine and it is still making a perfect brew every time.

    Infuser BES840CRN (Cranberry)

    Hi, i've had our infuser for about 3years now and love it. We clean it fairly regularly (when prompted) but do live in a hard water area. In the last week the steam wand has stopped producing steam. When i turn the dial to steam milk, the steam actually comes out of the espresso and nothing comes out of the steam wand. I suspect there is a blockage somewhere. Any ideas? Thanks, i need coffee!!!

    Infuser BES840CRN (Cranberry)

    Hi I've had my machine since August 2013 and have had a few issues periodically with it. I've had to replace the solenoids twice over that time, and now if I turn it on at the wall, the pump goes all the time and water comes out from underneath the machine onto the bench and won't stop. While it makes really nice coffee, I am the only one in our house that uses it so it doesn't get heaps of use, but I must admit to being a little disappointed that for the price of it, it hasn't lasted longer. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why it's suddenly leaking? I did clean it with white vinegar and water as per the cleaning instructions last week. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Dawn.

    If you can't service it yourself, you really need to have it serviced. "Pump goes on all the time when the machine is on" does not sound good. Cleaning won't help a leak. Most important is to find out where the leak is coming from. I'm not intimately familiar with your model, but I believe a normal BES840 should have a clear plastic nozzle on the right side at the very bottom, that ejects water after a steam, etc. It's an overpressure valve. If the drip tray is not fully inserted, or missing, then of course water will leak onto the counter the machine is on. Doubt thats the source of your leaks, but it doesn't hurt to check.
