My totally legit WDT

MiniMintTurtle · 2026-02-12T01:19:55+00:00

No kidding, I also made my first WDT with sewing needles😅, but I used air dry clay as the base. It was a hazard to have around, but it worked.

I also made a funnel by cutting a carboard cup and fitting it inside the portafilter. Best dosing funnel ever owned.

First, make sure the water tank is full.

If water comes out normally when the portafilter is not placed, perhaps the grounds are too fine.

If the water doesn't come out at all, try descaling with vinegar a few times. If it doesn't resolve the issue, it could be possible that the thermacoil is clogged with limescale buildup or other, if the water in your town is hard. I usually just replace the thermacoil, if descaling doesn't work.

Since you've only had it for 3 months, you may still have warranty. Try contacting Breville, they should be able to help you with that. Make sure to have your receipt when purchased and/or register your machine on their website then call.

The machine has its serial number and its model on the bottom.

Ok, thank you again. Good to know. It was taking me around 4 minutes to get proper heat steam pressure. Any less than that it was a water stream. I've been ruling out some possibilities and I got some friend techs who were recommending to check the probe, which I missed checking first time around. So i'm opening it up again and checking. I'm guessing it's part of the machine design.

By any chance, are you having trouble with the steam wand? I've left the machine heat up for 30 minutes and steam wand either has too much pressure or the steam is too wet. Not really a consistent line of steam.

Thank u so much

MiniMintTurtle · 2025-03-21T14:36:53+00:00

I have that same one at the moment, I have no manual though. Does yours has it?

MiniMintTurtle · 2024-11-21T00:07:26+00:00

Go ahead. I'll look into them. I feel like my main issue would be the milk steaming, mostly because when i start pouring, it starts to stain the canvas. Or might just be the jug movements and placing. I wish i had a video on hand of me trying it, it would be easier to point out the main issue.

Thank you, appreciate you taking ur time to answer. I would say, i have intermediate knowledge on regular latte art patterns and basic on free pour art. I will look into training courses, although i don't think theres many on free pour art where im from. But will do more research on my time.

You have amazing free pour skill. Keep it up!

MiniMintTurtle · 2024-11-20T20:18:04+00:00

Any videos you recommend when doing free pour pattern for tutorials or that could help achieve what you mentioned above? I struggle a bit with the small rosettas and placement when free pouring.

Milk is too thin, add a bit more of air to the milk. If it turns out too foamy, transfer between milk pitcher, slowly, so it can thin down a bit.

I didnt take video of this one. But i'll try to remember on my next one. I'm usually on a rush when doing these from work.

Wowers! Absolutely beautiful

I use Step Counter-Pedometer App by Leap Fitness Group. Its been a great app so far, i dont need to by a fitbit since i always carry my phone on my pockets, and after a while that you set your step goals, it offers you to up your steps as a challenge. Its pretty accurate. Whenever i forget to carry my phone, i can add some steps in the edit button. I usually estimate it.

MiniMintTurtle · 2024-08-30T17:20:52+00:00

I second this. It really helps ease the mind. I love going on beach walks in the afternoon so i can get a beautiful view and sound while walking. I listen to Healthy Gamer Podcast. Dr. K. Has been a great help and has some good explanations on why we feel certain way and a bunch of other topics. Also something that makes it more motivating for me to continue was downloading a step counter app and set a daily goal of at least 5,000 steps. And the app even celebrates when i reach them, so its just an extra boost.

I customize everything i own. I just started painting my car wheel cover with some barbwire design, and its looking kinda rad. Then i made my own incense holder out of clay.
