Pretty sure these came up last time someone asked— saved it for when the time comes for my machine. I’d check the reviews for extra confirmation.

Ive been using these in my xelsis for about 6 months with no issues.

I use these in my BDB (with the provided silicon disc) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B003S4918M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_45V3AbFQE9HG0
They work well in general. Only thing I have noticed is that you sometimes have to run the cleaning program twice to fully get rid of residue. This doesn't really bother me since it's an automated cleaning program anyway. Maybe next time I'll get powder.
I have a Breville Infuser, so I wanted to chime in on a few things. I'm sorry if they have already been covered.
You should have four baskets:
Take the single walled, single shot and the double walled, double shot, and put them away. You will rarely use them. The double walled baskets are used to make sufficient pressure for pre-ground beans; you have a grinder so you don't need them (and an awesome at that). The single shot basket is a smaller size than the double sized basket, and it is best to dial in for one dosage (unless if you like suffering :P ).
Take the double walled, single shot basket and keep that with the silicon cleaning disk, and with your cleaning tablets (I'm just linking the one I use). I also recommend checking the manual for how to perform a back flush.
The default settings for the 1 cup will actually push through about 2 ounces of water, but coffee grounds hold onto water, so you will have about 1 ounce of coffee in the cup. The same is true with the 2 cup button: it will actually push through about 3 ounces of water, but with coffee you will about 2 ounces in the cup.
At this point, you should only be looking at your single walled, double shot basket. That's the only one I use. The dosage amount for it is between 14 grams to 16 grams. I dose closer to 16 grams because that's what I like, but you can also try 14 grams and 15 grams.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head that I haven't seen covered. I hope you find this helpful.
