If you’re looking to elevate your Breville espresso experience, we’ve got the perfect upgrade for you — the Breville Steam Lever Handle! A simple yet effective enhancement to your machine that makes frothing milk easier and adds a touch of style to your brewing setup. Here’s everything you need to know about this must-have upgrade.
Why Upgrade to the Breville Steam Lever Handle?
Breville machines, such as the Barista Pro and Barista Express, are known for their quality and reliability. The Breville Steam Lever Handle replaces the standard steam knob with a lever-style handle, offering several advantages:
-
Improved Control: With a lever handle, you can control the steam pressure with greater precision. This allows for smoother, more consistent milk frothing.
-
Ease of Use: The lever design requires less effort compared to the standard knob. It’s perfect for those who want a more ergonomic experience.
-
Enhanced Aesthetics: Not only is this lever functional, but it also adds a sleek, professional look to your Breville machine, making it stand out on your kitchen counter.
How to Install the Breville Steam Lever Handle
The installation process is straightforward and doesn’t require any technical expertise. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:
Step 1: Attach the Silicone Sticker
You don’t need to remove the existing steam knob. Start by placing the silicone sticker (included with the handle) on top of your current steam knob. This will protect your machine and ensure the lever plate stays securely in place.
Step 2: Place the Lever Plate
Next, place the lever plate on top of the steam knob. Make sure you’re using the correct side based on your Breville model:
-
For Breville Barista Pro 878, use the wider side of the plate.
-
For Breville Barista Express 870/875/876, use the narrower side.
Step 3: Attach the Lever Handle
Once the lever plate is positioned correctly, push and hold it toward the machine. Then, install the lever handle, ensuring that it grips the steam knob tightly.
Step 4: Enjoy Your Upgrade!
Once installed, you’ll enjoy better control over your milk frothing. The lever will allow you to adjust steam pressure with ease, making latte art and creamy foam even simpler to achieve.
