Replacing the 54-millimeter steam-ring on the Breville Café Roma Espresso machine is a simple process that can be done with the provided Allen-key tool, a replacement steam ring, and a pair of needle-nose pliers or a similar tool. First, power off and unplug the unit and allow it to cool down. If there are coffee grounds on the shower screen, use the provided cleaning brush or toothpick to clear them. To remove the old steam-ring, use a tool or a set of needle-nose pliers to gently grasp the outer and inner sides of the steam ring, then gently pull down to remove it. Push the replacement steam ring all the way in ensuring it is properly sealed to the group-head. You've now successfully replaced the 54-millimeter steam-ring on your espresso machine.

For best maintenance, we recommend regular cleaning of the shower screen and shower plate, as well as removing any loose grinds from the portafilter rim prior to brewing your espresso. If your unit has a grinder, unlock and remove the bean hopper, and remove the drip tray and water tank gently. Lay the unit on its back for visible access to the group head. If you have a Barista Touch or a Barista Pro, use a flathead screwdriver to remove the screw on the shower screen by rotating counterclockwise. If you have a Barista Express or Infuser, use the provided Allen-key tool to remove the screw on the shower screen by rotating counterclockwise.

Replacing the 54-millimeter steam-ring on the Breville Café Roma Espresso machine is a straightforward process that can be done with the right tools and a bit of patience. Regular cleaning of the shower screen and shower plate, as well as removing any loose grinds from the portafilter rim prior to brewing your espresso, will help ensure that your espresso machine is in optimal condition.
