Breville coffee maker takes much longer than normal to brew a pot of coffee.

Safety: Hot water and steam can cause burns; allow the machine to cool before disassembly.

Steps:

• Run a full descale cycle using Breville descaling solution.
• Clean the showerhead or brew outlet with a brush to remove coffee oils and fines.
• Clean or replace the paper or gold-tone filter to ensure it is not restricting flow.
• Check and clean the water tank inlet filter.

Resolution: If brewing remains slow after descaling and cleaning, internal tubing or the thermoblock may be heavily scaled and require professional replacement.
