Coffee machine maintenance: Tips for effective descaling

Regular maintenance of coffee machines, specifically descaling, is essential to prevent permanent damage and ensure optimal performance. The frequency of cleaning depends heavily on water hardness, which can be measured using test strips available at pharmacies.

As a general guideline, coffee machines should be cleaned every two to three months. Warning signs that a machine requires descaling include slower coffee flow, changes in flavor, or unusual noises. Neglecting this maintenance can result in reduced machine efficiency, a shorter lifespan for the appliance, and a bitter taste in the coffee.
