Taking care of your machine doesn’t require a ton of effort, but it makes a world of difference. Regular maintenance will keep your coffee and espresso tasting good, and help your machine last longer. To find out what you’ll need to take care of your machine and how to do it, just scroll down to your category: semi-automatic, super automatic, manual or coffee maker. Then scan across the chart to see what products are recommended for that machine. And following the table, you’ll find the whats and whens for your machine’s care. (This is based on normal home usage. If you’re using your machine more than normal or in a commercial setting, consult your user’s manual.)

If you are using the appropriate water filter, you will not need to descale. Simply change the filter when the machine indicates it is time to do so. If you are not using a water filter, you should use the Urnex Cleancaf to descale when the machine says to do so. Use Urnex Super Auto Cleaning Tabs in conjunction with the cleaning cycle on your machine. |

The manufacturer recommends only using white vinegar to descale your machine. |

Capresso |
Use Durgol to descale your machine every 3 - 4 months. Descaling instructions can be found in your user manual. The use of charcoal filters will not eliminate the need to descale, but will remove minerals from your water and improve the flavor of your coffee. |
