Descaling - how it works
Regular descaling is essential for your automatic coffeemaker so you always get perfect results. Limescale deposits inside the appliance cannot only shorten the service life, but will also spoil the flavour of your coffee. We will show you how to descale your machine effectively and gently with our specially developed descaling products for automatic coffeemakers.
Why is descaling important?
WWater contains natural minerals like calcium and magnesium. Over time, these minerals are deposited inside your automatic coffeemaker as limescale. This can cause blockages and longer brewing times, and affect the coffee flavour. Regular descaling ensures that your appliance works perfectly and that you can continue to enjoy top quality coffee.
