Is this a replacement for the bes870xl barista express? or is this a new higher level machine?

This is a new higher level machine. The steam wand has been updated to be the same as the Oracle touch, and the touch screen walks you through the steps of making a coffee. The heating mechanism was also updated so water heats up in 3 seconds.

Does anyone know where to get a water filter replacement? i don’t see it on amazon or breville site. it’s different from closely related machines.

They use the fancier name brand Claro Swiss filters with this model. But according to Breville chat support, if you get a different filter holder ($9), then you can use the cheaper BWF100 filters. The holder can be purchased from them here https://www.breville.com/us/en/parts-accessories/parts/sp0014505.html. I am going to try it when my original filter is up for replacement.

Anyone else with the machine can comment about the temperature of the brewing you get? i am getting 150 to 160 F without coffee in the portafilter.

I am having this exact problem. The temp of the prepared coffee is only warm to the touch. I have upped the temperature in the setting to “highest” temperature. Still not hot enough. Anyone resolve this issue? I don’t see where you can actually see where the read out of the temp is. All my other high end coffeemakers have been hotter

i set brew temperature to max and still the coffee is not hot enough . does it happen to you guys also? let me know please

Yes. Even after multiple empty brew cycles to preheat the brew group, the coffee extracts remarkably cold. Having the unit at temperature in a couple seconds means very little if the temperature it ultimately delivers is too cold for a proper cup of espresso.
