We've got one of these in the office. I filled it up today & realised how badly scaled it is. I'm used to descaling a kettle at home, but not sure if could just use the same stuff in this. It won't be easy to get under the tap to rinse out etc, so not sure how to tackle it.
Any ideas?

I have done one of these before, I just put water and a bottle of vinegar in it and turned it on, heated it up, turned it off and let it stand for a short while, then rinsed out. It worked really well. HTH0

There are some basic descaling instructions on page 5 here:

Vinegar can really stink the whole place out which may not go down too well at work. Someone suggested to me the other day to cut a lemon in half and chuck it in the kettle and boil it. Honestly I couldn't believe how easily it got rid of the limescale and smelt lovely too.Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These
