Regular descaling keeps espresso machines running and extends their life — essential for offices and hospitality sites running machines daily. Here is the process and what to stock.
Why descaling matters
Mineral scale builds up from water and reduces flow, temperature and reliability. Descaling on schedule prevents downtime and costly service calls.
How to descale
- Empty the drip tray and fill the tank with descaling solution and water per the machine instructions
- Run the machine’s descale cycle
- Rinse with two full tanks of fresh water before brewing
What to stock
Keep descaler on hand for fleets of machines. See the DeLonghi DLSC500 EcoDecalk descaler and the full coffee machine range.
