Re: Breville Fresca BES860 Extraction
Hi. Am now on the finest grind setting. Using double basket as only ever drink double shots! I could manually adjust the grinder further to have more play in the grind settings but is extracting perfectly at the moment so no need!

Re: Breville Fresca BES860 Extraction
Hello tractor.
Welcome here to CoffeeSnobs.
I used a Breville BES860 for about three years. I liked it. I gave it to a friend when I bought my Breville Dual Boiler. It is still working well.
The only problem I had is that the grinder became too coarse, so I had to modify it as set out by Jolt and I at:

I also explain how to modify the grinder at:

I think that it has a lot going for it. It is semi automatic as many variables can be preset, however they can easily be changed as required.

Breville Fresca BES860 Extraction
Hi guys,
I recently have purchases the Breville BES860 with inbuilt grinder. Have seen videos online and also a friend has the same machine and the extraction can be very good. However I appear to be getting poor extraction(15 seconds) despite using fresh locally roasted beans, the finest grind setting and a very firm tamp. The extraction is OK and tastes fine but just dont appear to be able to get a nice slow dripping extraction. Any ideas what the issue could be?Tags: None
