Descale Breville Bambino

  • Identification: The machine indicates it’s time to descale when the ‘2 Cup’ button continuously flashes.
  • Preparation: Empty the drip tray and re-insert it. Fill the water tank to the designated ‘DESCALE’ line and add descaling agent. You can also use the Breville espresso cleaner tablets as they drop right in.

  • Descaling Process: Press the ‘2 Cup’ and ‘Steam’ buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds to start descaling. Place a 2L container under the group head and steam wand.
  • Rinsing Cycle: After the descale solution is used up, refill the water tank to the ‘MAX’ line, empty the waste water container, and replace both. Press the ‘2 Cup’ button to start the rinse cycle.
  • Completion: The machine returns to ready mode once the rinse cycle is complete. Remove, empty, and clean the waste water container, drip tray, and water tank.

And voilà! Your Breville Bambino is now thoroughly descaled and ready to make you that perfect cup of coffee again. Regular descaling ensures that your coffee tastes its best and your machine enjoys a long, efficient life. So, always watch those indicator lights and enjoy your brews!
