Problem for Breville ESP8XL Espresso Machine
No steam, just hot water.
Have been using my Breville Cafe Roma about 3 months with nil problems and great coffee until today. Now, although machine heats up, it will not produce steam through the steam wand, only a steady stream of hot water.
Same Problem

- We have the same problem... no steam just a stream of hot water. So far have been unable to fix it.- ajd75Dec 11, 2007
- hi there,I too am having a similar problem with my breville espresso machine. Whereby i used to be able to froth the milk with no problems but these past couple of days, the steam button light is illuminated, when i turn the knob to steam the milk, the steam button's light goes off and the hot water gets illumintaed and all i get is hot water. It also does not make that thumping noise it usually does just before the steaming begins. Please help!
I have tried clenaing it, letting the hot water run for a few minutes (not just seconds) but still the issue isn't resolved. I am thinking about taking it back to the manufacturer as it is still under warranty. Only prob is they are on the other side of the state :o(
Many thanks,
Alison

- Same problem here, except this problem has always existed. Water comes out for a while, then a little steam is produced. I would love to find out what the fix is for this.- Cele WolmanSolution #1

The steam wand has to be removed to be cleaned properly. Unfortunately, this procedure is not outlined in the manual. Just cleaning the wand on the outside or using a clip to clean the tip is not enough.
The other end of steam wand where it connects to the pressuring cabin actually swivels around a fitting. It is this fitting that you need to thoroughly clean. Years of using the machine can cause calcification around this fitting.
If you look under this end of hte steam wand, you should see a philllip-headed screw. Before you loosen this screw, you have to remove the grey trim so that the entire wand can be remove.
Once the entire wand is removed, what I just described will be much clearer.
