Cleaning Features

Manufacturers recommend cleaning every day. If we are talking about home equipment, then you should clean the coffee machine every day. Please note that your model may have a built-in indicator that indicates the need to clean the machine.

How do you know when it's time to clean your coffee machine?

liquid pours out of the device slowly;
an extraneous bitter taste appears in the coffee;
the car starts to work louder;
electrical energy consumption during operation of the device has increased.

Getting rid of scale

To properly descale the appliance, you need to know how to carry out the procedure and what products to use.

Cleaning procedure

The descaling process depends on the specific coffee machine model. Its essence is that water with a cleaning agent diluted in it is passed through the internal mechanism of the device and frees the heating elements from salt deposits. It is necessary to strictly follow the recommendations described in the instructions.

Instructions for any device can be found on the Internet, so do not despair if the accompanying brochure is lost.

The sequence of actions for the cleaning procedure is as follows:

Pour water with decalcifier dissolved in it into the water tank.
Start the brewing process, but without coffee.
Repeat 4-5 times.
Carry out the operation 2–3 more times, but with clean water.

Cleaning of more expensive machines is usually automated: just place the cleaning agent and with one press of a button start the descaling process by activating the descale or calc mode. The process usually takes 15–20 minutes.

What products should I use to descale coffee machines?

In the instructions for a specific coffee machine, as a rule, it is recommended to use products of the same brand as the device itself. Branded cleaners are produced by Philips Saeco, DeLonghi, Bosch and other companies. However, experts believe that products from any other brand are suitable for any coffee machine. You shouldn’t be afraid of universal products designed for decalcifying coffee machines, for example, Top House or Topperr 3006.

Experts assure that among branded decalcifiers it is better to choose products from Melitta, since they are the cheapest and are all approximately the same in effectiveness.

Commercial descaling products come in the form of:

liquids,
powder,
tablets.

The effectiveness of the product does not depend on its form. Any product is mixed with water, and the tablets and powder must dissolve without residue. The dosage depends on the product used and is described in the instructions.

Such products are usually labeled accordingly on the packaging: for descaling, for decalcification, descaling, calc, decalcifier, etc.

Is it worth using traditional methods?

The most economical option is to use home remedies. However, experts warn that you can resort to such methods at your own peril and risk: only products specifically designed for removing scale from a coffee machine can guarantee the safety of the device’s mechanism.

Popular rumor recommends using 9 percent vinegar, diluted with water in a ratio of 1 to 3, and Coca-Cola. But the use of these substances for cleaning devices is contraindicated, as they can damage rubber gaskets and other parts of the mechanism. Also clean the coffee machine with a solution of citric acid (10 g per 1 liter of water). This method can rarely be used as a last resort. It is not suitable for constant maintenance of the device: the effectiveness of the product is much lower than that of industrial products, but its use can have a negative impact on the condition of the internal structure of the coffee machine.

Types of coffee machine cleaning tablets

Tablets for decalcification

Scale formation is the most common cause of coffee machine failure.

Lime deposits entail a number of problems: the water flows in a thin stream, the water heats up very slowly, the milk foam does not whip up well, the taste of the drink deteriorates, etc. That is why it is necessary to promptly descale your coffee machine.

As a rule, manufacturers of decalcifying tablets write CALC, Descaling or Decalcifier on their labels.

They include:

maleic acid (reducing water hardness);
sulfamic acid (disinfecting effect, removal of carbonate deposits and milkstone);
sodium bicarbonate (water softening, neutralization of unpleasant odors);
enzotriazole (corrosion inhibitor).
