Descaler for coffee machines - For long life and perfect taste

Why use a descaler?

Lime build-up is a natural consequence of water use, but it can have a big impact on your coffee machine. As lime builds up, it disrupts water flow and can significantly affect the taste of your coffee. Moreover, appliances with lime have to work harder, which can lead to overheating and component damage. Regular descaling with a special coffee machine descaler ensures the taste of your coffee stays pure and prevents expensive repairs or replacement of parts. Descaling also keeps the machine efficient: you save energy because your machine doesn't have to work as hard. A small effort, with a big effect on taste and lifespan.

Choosing a descaler: what do you need?

Not every descaler works the same. It is therefore important to choose the right descaler, depending on the type of machine and your preferences. For espresso machines, a special descaler is recommended, as these machines often have a more complex pipe system. Fully automatic machines call for a descaler that cleans thoroughly without leaving any residue, and for filter coffee machines, you want a solution that removes limescale without flavour residues. When choosing a descaler, pay attention to your machine manufacturer's recommendations. That way, you can be sure that your product is safe for your specific machine and that the descaling process is effective.

How do you descale your coffee machine in a few simple steps?

Descaling a coffee machine is easy and, with the right approach, done in no time. Start by reading your machine's manual for specific instructions. Generally, fill the water tank with the descaler, according to the dosage indicated on the package. Next, turn on your machine's descaling programme or run water through the machine as you normally would when making coffee (without coffee, of course). Afterwards, rinse the machine thoroughly with fresh water to remove any remaining descaler. Depending on the hardness of your water and how often you use the machine, it is recommended to descale once every three months. That way, you avoid problems and your coffee will always stay deliciously fresh.
