Breville Cleaning Disc

This disc is used for the back-flushing process, which cleans the internal group head and solenoid valve of your espresso machine. It forces water back through the system to remove built-up coffee oils and residue that can affect the taste of your espresso.

This 54mm disc is specifically designed for Breville machines that use a 54mm portafilter, such as the Barista Express, Infuser, Barista Pro, and Barista Touch. If you have a 58mm commercial-sized Breville machine, such as the Oracle or Dual Boiler, this part will not fit.

The solid design is intentional because it creates a seal within the portafilter basket. This prevents water from passing through the bottom, forcing it to redirect back up into the machine's internal components during the cleaning cycle.

You should use the cleaning disc whenever your machine’s 'Clean Me' light illuminates, which is typically after every 200 shots. Regular back-flushing is essential to prevent clogs and ensure your espresso maintains a consistent, clean flavor profile.

Yes, you will need espresso machine cleaning tablets or powder to perform the back-flush. Simply place the cleaning tablet inside the portafilter basket, top it with this disc, and run the machine's designated cleaning cycle.
