I'm really behind and trying to skim through so apologies if this has been posted already but I seem to remember someone posted that they'd had problems with their Tassimo machine red descaling light staying on even after they'd just descaled their machine. I had the same problem and found the answer with step-by-step instructions here:

http://nerdfever.com/?p=983

Some of the comments on the above page suggest using various things to replace the extortionately priced Bosch Tassimo descaling tablets (lemon juice seems to be popular). However, I didn't want to risk my machine so searched Amazon and found "Bosch Decalcifying Tablets for Coffee Machines and Kettles, 6 Tablets" for £7.50 (in hard water areas you need 2 tablets for each descale so £2.50 per time compared to the 2 treatment pack for £6 on the Tassimo site). These worked very well and my descaling light has now gone off. :j

Has anyone found any cheaper way to descale their machine that they are confident won't damage it?

PS If you didn't manage to stock up during the recent Tassimo coffee pod glitch then Tassimo are having a 2 for 1 offer at the moment:

HTH

Nenen, my machine gets quite heavy use so the descaling light comes on quite regularly (I think it's set to come on every xx amount of cups) I don't live in a hard water area so haven't got a big problem with lime scale.
Sometimes I just run the descaling programme without any descaler and the times I have used descaler it has been the Oust sachets that you can buy in As for around £1 for 3. Both have made the light go out and Ive no problems with my machine.
As I said Im not in a hard water area, so that might make a difference. I'm afraid I personally wouldn't pay the price for the Bosch ones. I doubt the ingredients can be much different to other descalers?

I have had my tassimo about 3 years now and don't use anything to descale it with. Also are people letting it go through the descaling as when I first did it I just pressed the button after putting the descaling disc in, didn't hold it in for 10 secs (roughly) and wondered why the light did't go out. You need to press and hold in then let it go through a long cleaning process that takes about half an hour and fills about 3-4 mugs with water.

The 2 for 1 is only on that one drink not all the flavours btw

Ive been roughly measuring when my light comes on. I don't think it necessarily needs descaling when it does, I think it's set to come on after so many uses. I also had the problem with not running the full programme the first time. Why do we never read the instructions first

What happened to 3Dogs?

Some nastiness I recall, no doubt by someone who didn't realise the consequences of their actions.

Whoever you are, you may not see the irony here, to put it straightforwardly, some smart@rse posted about the elderly being unneeded and it hit home, hard. It hurt me too. Elderly people are people too, just older.

redfox, thanks for your posts, hoping they have the required effect.
