Descaling a coffee machine ?

573 Posts


Have had a Dolce Gusto coffee machine for about six months.Today when I was making a cappuccino and it virtually stopped.
Having realised they recommend descaling it every 3 or 4 Months , looked on the website and the descaling kit was about £10 including delivery.
Do I definitely need the recommended kit or can I get a cheaper descsling kit from the Supermarket ?
Thanks for any replies

Alternatively (Old style) try descaling with citric acid (you could try googling for other people's results with vitamin C powder if you're a homemaker and already have it in, as it's the same ingredient).
Using white vinegar is unfortunately stinky, and leaves a residual taste.
Vinegar works but takes a lot of rinsing to remove any fear of remaining contamination!
Thanks for the tip on the water outlet , will check it with a pin later.
just flush with fresh water before use
