MODEL-SPECIFIC QUICK ANSWER

Breville Barista Touch Impress BES881 common problems and fixes

The Barista Touch Impress BES881 uses touchscreen prompts rather than coded fault-light sequences. For no flow, fill and fully seat the tank; for fast or slow shots, adjust grind size and dose one change at a time; clean a blocked steam tip with the supplied pin and tool. Follow the exact on-screen descaling steps.
