Installation

1. Ensure your portafilter is clean and free of any old coffee grounds.
2. Align the new 58mm Two Cup Dual Wall Filter Basket with the opening of your portafilter.
3. Press the filter basket firmly into the portafilter until it sits securely and flush with the rim. You may need to apply slight pressure to ensure it is fully seated.
4. Verify that the basket is stable and does not easily dislodge.

Operating Instructions

Once the filter basket is installed in your portafilter, you can proceed with your standard espresso brewing process:

1. Grind fresh coffee beans to an appropriate fineness for espresso.
2. Dose the ground coffee into the 58mm Two Cup Dual Wall Filter Basket. Ensure the dose is suitable for a two-cup shot.
3. Distribute the coffee grounds evenly within the basket.
4. Tamp the coffee grounds firmly and level.
5. Insert the portafilter into your compatible Breville espresso machine and lock it into place.
6. Initiate the brewing cycle according to your espresso machine's instructions.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning of your filter basket is crucial for maintaining espresso quality and product longevity.

• After Each Use: Remove the spent coffee puck. Rinse the filter basket thoroughly under warm running water to remove any remaining coffee grounds and oils.
• Weekly Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, remove the filter basket from the portafilter. Soak the basket in a solution of warm water and a mild detergent or espresso machine cleaning tablet for approximately 15-30 minutes. Use a soft brush to scrub away any stubborn residue.
• Rinsing: After soaking and scrubbing, rinse the filter basket extensively with clean water to ensure no cleaning solution remains.
• Drying: Allow the filter basket to air dry completely before re-installing or storing.

Troubleshooting

• Filter Basket Does Not Fit: Ensure you have the correct 58mm diameter filter basket for your specific Breville espresso machine model (BES900XL, BES920XL). Incorrect sizing is a common issue.
• Slow Espresso Flow / Clogging: This may indicate that the coffee grounds are too fine, the dose is too high, or the filter basket is clogged with old coffee oils. Refer to the cleaning instructions and adjust your grind size or dose.
• Fast Espresso Flow / Weak Espresso: This may indicate that the coffee grounds are too coarse or the dose is too low. Adjust your grind size or dose accordingly.
