The right descaler against deposits

Depending on the model and manufacturer of the coffee machine, different procedures and descaling programs are used. But even the conventional kettle is prone to limescale deposits and the type of descaler can also vary. Some recommend using cleaning tablets for the coffee machine, while other manufacturers prefer a liquid descaler for their machines. No matter which type of descaler you choose, once your machine is descaled, you are one step closer to enjoyment.

Cleaning a fully automatic coffee machine - the right coffee machine cleaning

A fully automatic coffee machine ensures fully automatic coffee preparation at the touch of a button. The manual processes are reduced to the touch of a button, and the coffee machine takes care of all other steps of coffee preparation completely on its own. However, this fully automated process also leaves residues in your machine. That is why thorough cleaning and descaling of your fully automatic coffee machine is essential for a long-lasting and intense coffee taste in your coffee or espresso. Limescale and coffee residues have a significant impact on the aroma profile of the coffee, but the longevity of your fully automatic coffee machine is also extended by regular cleaning and maintenance.

The right descaler for coffee machines

Many people know why you should run a descaling program at certain intervals. Regular use of the coffee machine and the associated regular flow of tap water can cause limescale and other water residues to build up in the pipes and hoses of the machine or in a kettle. These limescale deposits in the coffee machine can change the taste of the coffee or lead to porous pipes and seals. Thanks to different water hardness levels and a fluctuating lime content in drinking water, the degree of limescale deposits and residues can be different in every household.

That's why you should adjust your descaling frequency to the level of limescale deposits. This way you can enjoy long-lasting coffee and a machine with a long service life.

The right descaler for coffee machines

Popular descalers for coffee machines are special coffee machine cleaners, but some household remedies are also often used for thorough descaling of espresso machines, filter coffee machines, capsule machines, fully automatic coffee machines, kettles, etc. Popular household remedies as descaling agents include acids such as citric acid or vinegar or vinegar essence and baking powder.

Descaling your coffee machine: With the right tools, it works

Depending on which type of coffee machine you are looking for a suitable descaler for, we have the perfect cleaning solution. A fully automatic coffee machine that runs an automatic rinse after each use can be thoroughly descaled by a descaling process with suitable cleaning tablets for fully automatic coffee machines or a liquid coffee machine descaler. You can also use these cleaning tablets for your filter coffee machine or portafilter machine. For espresso machines, a suitable brewing group cleaner is also required for optimal descaling. A popular choice for this is the ECM group cleaner, for example, which you can use to thoroughly remove even invisible deposits in the brewing group of the portafilter machine. One trick to prevent heavy limescale in the coffee machine is to use a suitable water filter. In many models, the water filter is installed directly in the water tank of the machine and filters the water that you put into the water tank of the machine. However, it is important to ensure that you descale regularly. Because despite a water filter in the water tank, limescale deposits cannot be completely ruled out. Depending on your preference, you can use vinegar essence or citric acid to descale the appliance.
