How long it lasts
Replace it when espresso runs out around the edge of the portafilter or water leaks from the group head, Breville says; it gives no set interval.
After replacing: No reset: Breville machines have no reminder for the group head seal.
How to change the group head seal in your Breville BES500
Watch the guide or follow the steps.
- 1Press POWER to switch the machine off, unplug it and let it cool. Take out the water tank and drip tray.
- 2Clean any coffee out of the screw in the middle of the shower screen with a skewer, then turn it anticlockwise to undo it. Breville's books name the tool for some models (the Allen key on the Barista Express Impress, a flat-head screwdriver on the Barista Touch and Barista Touch Impress); check your machine's book for the others.
- 3Lift out the screw and the shower screen (Barista Touch Impress: and the dispersion plate behind it), noting which side faced down. Wash the screen in warm soapy water and dry it.
- 4Pull the old seal out with your fingers or long-nose pliers. Push the new seal in flat side first, so the ribbed side faces you.
- 5Refit the shower screen the same way round (dispersion plate first on the Barista Touch Impress) and the screw. Turn the screw 2-3 turns by hand, then tighten it until it sits flush. Don't overtighten it.
- 6Refit the drip tray and water tank.
