Breville Coffee Machine Cleaning Kit vs Breville Barista Cleaning Kit

Both kits keep a Breville espresso machine clean, but they are built for different jobs. The Cleaning Kit pairs six water filters with cleaning tablets, so it covers water hardness and backflushing in one box. The Barista Cleaning Kit is a single-dose sachet set split three ways: descaler, group head cleaner and milk wand cleaner, with no filters. Buy the Cleaning Kit if your machine takes Breville water filters and you want filter changes plus tablet cleaning. Buy the Barista Cleaning Kit if you want a complete descale, group head and steam wand routine in pre-measured doses. Owners of either kit report it does what Breville says; the real difference is filters versus descaling and wand care.

• Choose the Breville Coffee Machine Cleaning Kit if your Breville machine uses replaceable water filters and you want filters plus cleaning tablets in one box.
• Choose the Breville Barista Cleaning Kit if you need descaling, group head cleaning and milk wand cleaning in pre-measured single doses, and your machine does not rely on Breville filters.
