Breville 58mm Espresso Puck Sucker BEA503

I’m in love. The Breville 58mm Espresso Puck Sucker does exactly what is says. Some have complained about the fit not working, but if you have the 58mm Breville portafilter, this is what you need. No more banging on the counter, trash or knock box. I bought this to remove the used puck quietly and cleanly and this does that. The container is also very easy to clean up, much better that the original knock box that came with my Breville Oracle Jet. The build quality seams good and since no banging needed, should last a good while. For quicker removal of the puck, make sure you hold the portafilter level to get a better seal. Only takes a few seconds at most and you can feel when the puck is sucked out. Glad I bought it and I’d recommend to anyone that wants a quicker, quieter, cleaner experience.

If you own a Breville machine, this clever item is quite effective and useful. To be sure, you absolutely don’t need this thing, and a knock box works fine. But even with care, a knock box results in a bit of a mess with coffee grounds scattered in the blast radius of the box.It’s very easy to set up. Basically, insert the batteries and begin using it. After extraction, just place the inverted portafilter over the opening and wait a few seconds for the puck to be extracted. You can tell this is complete either by listening for a thud, or for a change in the pitch of the motor. Or just wait 5 seconds or so and it will be done. If you have a very watery puck, it might take a few seconds longer.Be sure to keep the portafilter level and fully seated against the gasket in the device to achieve suction. Basically, you want to avoid tilting the portafilter. If you fail to extract the puck after about 7-10 seconds, you are almost certainly not achieving a seal due to a tilted portafilter.The device looks nice and the fit and finish are commensurate with the top-end Breville machines. I have the Oracle, and it pairs perfectly with it. After a bunch of pucks fill the reservoir, you just remove the top, dump the pucks and rinse the container and go on with your life.This thing simply works, and if the price is worth it to you, just get it. Are you still reading this? I can’t think of anything else to type. Oh yeah, no one paid me for this review, and I bought this thing of my own volition, and I’m not a bot. I’m an actual customer.

After getting the Breville Knock Box and absolutely hating it (so noisy, splats everywhere), – this came into view, and there were some concerns that my 54mm portafilter would not work with this, designed-for-58mm, device.I needn’t have worried. This works just great. Just center the portafilter over the opening and press down. The vacuum does the rest. Superbly, it will pull the coffee puck out, and if you hold it there a bit longer, will pull the filter out, too, for much easier cleaning than trying to pry that thing out with some tool.Anyway, I love this thing. Quiet, speedy, painless coffee puck removal, and it works just great with my 54mm portafilter.5 out of 5. Excellent.
