2. Descaling

Mineral deposits (limescale) can build up in your coffee maker over time, affecting performance and coffee taste. Descale your coffee maker every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you have hard water.

1. Fill the water tank with a mixture of white vinegar and water (1:2 ratio).
2. Place the empty carafe on the warming plate.
3. Start a brew cycle without coffee grounds.
4. After half the mixture has brewed, turn off the coffee maker and let it sit for 15-20 minutes to allow the solution to work.
5. Turn the coffee maker back on and let the remaining mixture brew through.
6. Discard the vinegar solution and run 2-3 cycles with fresh water only to rinse thoroughly.
