Routine care

Breville espresso machines

Our straightforward choice for removing coffee oils from the group head and baskets. Suitable for Breville espresso machines, including the Oracle Jet and Oracle Dual Boiler. Follow your model’s cleaning-cycle instructions. These tablets are not descaler and do not go in the water tank.

Lelit Bianca, MaraX3, Elizabeth & Victoria

A coffee-oil cleaner for backflushing and cleaning removable metal coffee-contact parts. Follow your machine’s backflush instructions and the cleaner’s dosage, then rinse thoroughly. Keep it out of the water tank and grinder. Descaling is a separate procedure.

Optional upgrades

Breville Dual Boiler — BES920

A complete group-head refresh with a stainless steel shower holder, IMS CI200IM screen, Cafelat silicone gasket and matching low-head stainless screw. Choose Kit (4 Parts), rather than the shower holder alone.

Fits: BES920XL Dual Boiler. Not compatible with Oracle Jet or 54 mm Breville machines. Compatibility with the newer Oracle Dual Boiler BES995 is not confirmed.

The gasket is already included—there is no need to buy the separate replacement below with this kit. Installation should follow the supplier’s instructions with the machine unplugged and fully cooled.

Breville Bambino Plus BES500 & Barista Express BES870

An optional replacement screen for these 54 mm models. Choose the BV200IM version. A screen replacement is optional; regular cleaning remains the first step.

Replacement seals

Replace a seal when it is worn or damaged. A new silicone gasket is a replacement part, not an essential upgrade for a new machine that already has one.

Bambino Plus BES500 & Barista Express BES870

For the models listed above. Match your original seal and follow the installation instructions.

Cafelat 54 mm silicone gasket ↗

Dual Boiler BES920

The Breville-specific blue seal measures 71 mm outside diameter × 47.5 mm inside diameter × 8.5 mm thick. It is not a universal E61 gasket and does not fit Oracle Jet. Skip this separate seal if buying the four-piece kit above.

Choose by model number.

Check your machine’s model label before ordering. Parts with the same advertised diameter can have different fittings. For a model not listed here, use its manufacturer’s replacement parts.
