Why is no ground coffee coming from my Breville Coffee Maker grinder?
If no ground coffee is coming from the grinder, first check if the hopper has coffee beans. If not, fill the hopper with fresh coffee beans. Also, the grinder chamber or chute might be blocked.

Why is my Breville Barista Express BES870XL Coffee Maker espresso only dripping?
If espresso only drips from the portafilter spouts (or doesn't come out at all), it could be due to several reasons. The coffee might be ground too finely, so try using a slightly coarser grind. Also, check if you're using too much coffee in the filter basket and lower the dose if needed. Ensure the coffee isn't tamped too firmly, aim for between 30–40lbs or 15–20kg of pressure. Finally, ensure that the water tank isn't empty and is correctly inserted and locked.
How to fix no crema on Breville Barista Express BES870XL Coffee Maker?
If your Breville Coffee Maker isn't producing crema, it could be due to a few reasons. Ensure the coffee isn't tamped too lightly; aim for 30–40lbs or 15–20kg of pressure. If the coffee is ground too coarsely, use a slightly finer grind. Also, make sure your coffee beans or pre-ground coffee are fresh. If the filter basket may be blocked, use the pin on the end of the provided cleaning tool to unblock the hole(s). If the hole(s) remain blocked, dissolve a cleaning tablet in hot water and soak filter basket and portafilter in solution for approx. 20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Finally, if you're using pre-ground coffee, ensure you use Dual Wall filter baskets.
