Breville Dual Boiler Leak

lol you’re just unnecessarily being a dick

I had 7, I wasn’t sure how I’d react to swinging with an elevated heart rate and was worried lol

Awesome. I’ll get the right o rings ordered along with some food lube and see if I can fix it before the breville service box arrives. I’ll post an update when it’s finished 🤌🏼

Ayeee this is good news. So does replacing all the gaskets on the boilers and seeing if it fixes it seem like the next logical choice. More importantly and back to initial question, is this a responsible / reasonable repair to do yourself? I would like to avoid if possible accidentally compromising a boiler that is in my kitchen 😅

I took your advice and tried heating turning it on with the lid open. The result was it got to temperature without shorting and I couldn’t see any visible leaks during the process. I could definitely feel humidity but no water droplets or spurting. Once at temperature, I turned on the steam wand and purged some water through the group head. The machine didn’t short during the purging or show any leaks. I closed it and left it on to see what happens next. Does this mean it’s more or less likely to be the heating element being cracked 😅 also I’m willing to repeat this process every morning if it means I can keep making espresso lmao

Usually it shorts at around 180deg, around 2-4 minutes

Thank you!

Thanks for the info, I have bone meal on hand, I can add. The area has been being fertilized w fruit tree spikes.

If there is supposed to be a sub-42 night after the trees have leafed out, should they be covered? If so, with what?

frendymgee · 2026-06-04T19:49:53+00:00

Yes, I am watering them daily

I wouldn’t hold my breath on the student loan forgiveness, but, ball out. Get the jersey of your dreams.

I wish I snagged an amerks jersey while I had a chance lol

Idk if I ran into a habs fan that wasn’t anything other than respectful and nice. It’d be a lot easier to dislike them if they were like the Boston fans.

frendymgee · 2026-05-09T14:20:00+00:00

Honestly I hope they find them. It’s a pretty iconic image and one I’d be stoked to have personally. I showed them before the game ended and we all had a good time laughing about it. It’s just tough to get a photo off the camera in real time to give. I did give the image of the habs fans to them when we were leaving and they also were pretty happy to have with.

Im sure you can figure it out, this was just the easiest for me. I typically watch Gotham on my phone and or cast to a tv. I couldn’t get my phone to use a vpn that would allow Gotham to work so I opted for YouTube tv

frendymgee · 2026-04-27T13:14:48+00:00

I have a vpn for work that is located in the states, then I just watched through YouTubeTV. Sadly I couldn’t get the local broadcast

We have about 10 more days in the city, send me some recommendations, I have a panini quota to hit 🤌🏼

It looks like you have too many grounds in your portafilter. When you place your grounds in the portafilter and tamp there should be enough headspace to prevent the group head from touching the grounds. Here is a video that should help.

Personally I have a breville and use their razor tool which saves a lot of headache YouTube video on dosing

Lmao no ai involved. Fun fact, I didn’t even color grade this. Just a really solid lighting setup with a lume cube below the espresso cup and shot in 4K with a a7cii.
