Descaling

Over time, mineral deposits can build up in your coffee maker, affecting performance and taste. Descaling should be performed regularly, depending on water hardness and frequency of use.

1. Prepare Descaling Solution: Follow the instructions on a commercially available descaling solution for coffee makers, or use a mixture of white vinegar and water (e.g., 1:1 ratio).
2. Run Descaling Cycle: Fill the water reservoir with the descaling solution. Place the empty carafe on the warming plate. Run a full brew cycle.
3. Rinse Cycles: After the descaling cycle, discard the solution. Fill the reservoir with fresh, clean water and run 2-3 full brew cycles with only water to rinse the system thoroughly.
