Coffee Machine Descaling

What is the scale?

Coffee Machine Scale is natural event that happens when minerals in water built up. This depends on the water quality, hardness and many other things.

All Espresso machines, need to be descaled after a certain period of operation time, this depends on the volume and the time of use، knowing that regular descaling not only preserves espresso quality but also prolongs machine lifespan.

Hard water accelerates scale accumulation due to its high calcium and magnesium bicarbonate content. Filtered water can mitigate this, but descaling remains the most effective solution. While leasing equipment often includes descaling services, understanding proper maintenance enhances operational efficiency and longevity.

Why is it important to descale your espresso machine?

Whether you want to descale La Marzocco GS3 or a De'Longhi, regular descaling of espresso machines is crucial for maintaining espresso quality and prolonging machine lifespan.

Accumulated scale diminishes brewing temperature, impacting coffee extraction. Lower water temperature leads to increased acidity in the espresso, compromising taste and potentially harming the machine.

Consistent descaling ensures the delivery of high-quality coffee, benefiting your business and enhancing client retention.
