Correct. It won't backflush all the way through the system, just the group and a bit of pipe above that. The pressure does build up a...

You can also up the temprature by two degrees, it's in the instruction manual.
-
It might be worth taking the silicon seal out to make sure everything is absolutely clean up there before replacing it, making sure the...

I have been using domestic expresso machines for about forty years and I have yet to feel the need to weigh anything. So sorry, can't...
-
Have to agree about single being more difficult to pull off, but that's what I mostly do, it just takes a bit more diling in and a bit...

Check the user manual, you can reprogram the one and two cup buttons, which may very well solve your problem.
-
I had a DTP for a couple of years and it definately needs backflushing or you'll get a buildup of burnt coffee oild in the works, unlike...
-
Just the one hole for it to come out of, the mesh and well tamped grinds make the water push through the whole surface of the porta...
-
Backflush a couple of times and descale the same, it sounds like oils from the beans to me. I've had it on my Barista express once and...
-
I'm going to say the obvious, descale again. Loose scale might be settling as the machine cools and is dislodged/floating around when it...
-
If you haven't descaled recently give that a try.
-
Someone will no doubt be along to give you step by step intructions, but before that happens make sure your beans are fresh, your grind...

There are lots of other ways that scale can spoil your day. Descal reguarly and use filtered ot bottled water. Just my opinion.

Sage Barista Express, I always backflush first and then use half the descaling mixture, leaving the steam wand sitting in a mug of hot...
-
Yes, what you are doing is blasting all the gunk back through a three way valve and down into the tray. If you take the top of the tray...
-
No hole means more cleaning pressure, better backflush, which is exactly what you need to clear out all the coffee bean oil residue.
-
After four years you'll be very lucky if one descale will do the trick. I'd try descalling a couple more times before getting desperate...
-
Are you sure it isn't just air. Let it sit quietly for a little while and see if it clears. As long as there is no sediment in the...
-
You almost cerainly need a new silicon seal for the prota filter. From Sage, amazon or ebay.

If you are returning for repair, to Coffee Classics, you only send the basic machine; not even the water tank.

Barista Express. My partner is a decaf, non dairy and I am the opposite, so three or four times a day I make two different cappachinos...
-
When I had a DTP I used to backflush every couple of weeks, after taking the shower screen off and giving everything a good clean. I...

Good point, but doing it yourself will probably invalidate your guarantee.
-
If your BE is still under guarantee sage will send it to Coffee Clasics for repair. They did mine a little while ago, same problem, took...
