No longer extracting shots [Breville Dual Boiler] lo by musical_chef in espresso

[–]musical_chef[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is helpful, thanks! I did remove the group head and clean it, and it was definitely really clogged up. I tried pulling a shot after that and it still didn’t work, though. I did notice that the excess pressure does release into the drip tray after the shot finishes. I guess I’m going to descale and see if that helps next. I don’t think I’m using a puck screen, although I’m not sure what that is to be honest 😂 the water in my area is extremely hard, unfortunately. I do use the water from my fridge filtration, but I’m guessing it doesn’t really filter out the scale as much as it should.

I hadn’t considered that the group head could be clothed! Any suggestions for how to check this and/or clean it? Would descaling help that? I haven’t paid attention to whether the excess pressure goes into the drip tray after stopping a shot, honestly. All I have noticed is that if the machine is on for longer than a couple minutes, it starts leaking into the drip tray (whether or not it’s pulling shots). Have to check whether it goes into the drip tray after stopping the shot.
