peer agreement (net): +1decalcification /descaling solution Explanation: http://www.wholelattelove.com/articles/decalcifying_espresso... Why Decalcify? One of the best things you can do for an espresso machine is most commonly forgotten. It is very important **to decalcify** your espresso machine on a regular basis. The **decalcification** process applies only to home units and super automatics. Do not decalcify a machine with a commercial/heat exchanger style boiler. Due to its design and size, it is difficult to remove the **decalcification solution** from it without taking it apart. These machines are to be backflushed only. There is a list of machines below to let you know which process and which cleaning product you should use. What is Decalcifying? In the dictionary, decalcify means the removal or loss of calcium or calcium deposits. As a note, **decalcifying and descaling** are terms used interchangeably and mean the same thing. When you decalcify your machine, you are removing the calcium and mineral build up that happens in the boiler, brew group, frothing wand, and other related parts. On those displays, you will also see a message or an indicator light to remind you to decalcify the machine. If your machine is like this, you will need to refer to the “Descaling” section of your owner’s manual and follow the directions. |
