Instructions

Tip: It may be easiest to remove your water tank and the drip tray, and turn your entire machine upside down to access your brew head.

1. Step One: Access the brew screen • Remove the brew head screw with either a flathead screwdriver or 8mm wrench.
2. Step Two: Clean brew head components • Once you remove the brew head screw, you'll have access to the brew screen, the water jetbreaker (silver and cone shaped) and the brass diffuser. • You'll be completely replacing the brew screen and screw later, but the two other parts should be thoroughly cleaned; we recommend soaking them in a detergent solution (such as Joe Glo or Cafiza).
3. Step Three: Replace the brew head gasket • The brew head gasket relies completely on friction to stay in place so it takes a little elbow grease to remove. • Place your flathead screwdriver in between the outside edge of the gasket and the inside edge of the brew head, then pry it down. Do this around the entire gasket and slowly work it down off of the brew head, being aware the gasket may tear as you remove it. • Thoroughly clean the area with a group head brush to remove any coffee residue. • Install the new gasket; this may also require a bit of force for it to sit correctly, but it will fit with some effort.
4. Step Four: Install brew head screen • Take the new brew head screen included in your tune up kit and line it up with the water jetbreaker and then the brass diffuser. • All three pieces should fit together easily and can be secured with the included screw.
5. Step Five: Descale your machine • Please refer to the Descaling Guide for detailed instructions on using Dezcal
