Coffee machine descaling — protect boiler, taste and flow
Limescale is the main enemy of your coffee machine — it clogs pipes, alters flavour and leads to failure. Here you’ll find professional descaling liquids for automatic, capsule and commercial machines.
Why descale?
- keeps heating and pressure stable;
- prevents pump blockage and hydraulic errors;
- improves taste — limescale causes bitterness;
- reduces long-term repair costs.
How often should I descale?
- Automatic machines: whenever the display requests it;
- Commercial machines: once every 3–4 years (with proper filtration);
- Capsule machines: every 6–12 months for daily use, 1–2 years for light use.
Safety notice
- Always use properly filtered water — limescale chokes hydraulics and harms flavour.
- Do not inhale, taste or splash descaling liquid — it is not food grade.
- If it contacts eyes — rinse with clean water; seek medical advice if irritation persists.
How to descale?
- automatic machines — pour into reservoir and run descaling cycle;
- capsule machines — circulate solution through the system, then flush with clean water;
- commercial espresso — typically done by service technicians.
