How To Descale Breville Precision Brewer

Use this to descale the Breville Precision coffee machine.

1. When to Descale:

Your Brewer is equipped with an intelligent system. If the ‘CLEAN / DESCALE’ light illuminates, it’s time for a descaling session.

2. Preparing the Descaling Solution:

You’ll require one sachet of Breville’s descaling powder or their descaling liquid for this task. We recommend descaling liquid because it’s easier to use with this machine overall. 

3. Initiate the Descaling Mode:

In order to initiate the descaling process, firmly press and hold the 2-CUP button until the process commences. While holding it, simultaneously press and hold the POWER button. This action puts your Brewer into its descaling mode.

4. Descaling the Coffee Component:

Press the 1-CUP button to kickstart the descaling process for the coffee brewing components of your machine. Keep repeating this step until the descaling solution in the tank is exhausted.

5. Descaling the Steam and Hot Water Components:

For the steam component, turn the steam dial to the right, and for the hot water component, turn it to the left. As with the previous step, continue this process until the solution in the tank runs out.

6. Rinse and Refresh:

Post the descaling process, it’s crucial to ensure no residual solution remains in the machine. To do this, detach the water tank, thoroughly rinse it, and then refill it with fresh cold water. Repeat the 4th and 5th steps to flush out any traces of the descaling solution.

7. Concluding the Process:

Press the ‘ POWER ‘ button once you’re sure the machine is thoroughly clean. This will exit the descaling mode. You’ll know the descaling process was successful when the ‘CLEAN / DESCALE’ light goes off.

In conclusion, descaling your Breville Precision Brewer is not just about ensuring the longevity of your machine but also about guaranteeing that every cup of coffee it brews is nothing short of perfection. As indicated by your machine, regular descaling is the secret to consistently delicious coffee.
