Espresso Machine Descaler (咖啡機boiler除水垢清潔粉 )
If you are the proud owner of a domestic espresso machine then there’s no doubt you will want to help keep it in good shape and free from faults. The most common issues with domestic espresso machines is the build up of limescale deposits which eventually culminate in partial and total blockages of your machines internal components and cause breakdown.
Over time the calcium in the water takes it’s toll leaving behind a hard and restrictive residue which most people term as ‘scale’. Even in so called soft water areas calcium is added to the water supply in order to help the growth and maintenance of healthy teeth and bones, which is great for your health but not for your coffee machine !
It is the most effective and fastest dissolving regular use coffee machine, it is reccomended that you use one sachet a month to descaler, followed by a flushing of a whole tank of water.
Note well it is a highly questionable suggestion that you are able to descale a coffee maker effectively with vinegar. Thinking logically formations of scale are often as hard as stones, so the question must be asked when last did you see the power of vinegar dissolve a stone? Also bear in mind that you are likely to be left with a very interesting aroma and taste when making your next coffee should you decide to take that route.
How to Descale a Coffee Maker
- Switch on your coffee maker and allow it to heat up.
- Dissolve the contents of the powder in 1 Litre of water, then pour it into the machines water tank.
- Run the pump as if making a coffee until all of the solution has run through the maker, then refill the water tank and run normal water through to flush the remainder of the descaler out.
