Troubleshooting Common Issues Before anything else, let’s discuss its usability. It’s just as safe as the most non-toxicespressomachinedescaler you can ever find. It won’t leave any bad ingredients to harm either your stomach or the reservoir of the coffee maker.It’s good for multiple uses, as we have told you before. Turn your machine on and let it heat up to full boiler pressure. Turn off, allow to cool, and open the hot water valve. Allow the discharge of water from the boiler through the hot water dispenser by operating the brew group lever. Once all the water is discharged, close the hot water valve. Descaling is an important maintenance task that should be performed regularly on your espresso machine. Over time, minerals from the water that you use to brew your espresso can build up inside the machine and affect the taste of your coffee. Descaling removes these minerals and helps to ensure that your espresso machine is clean and functioning properly.

If you still feel confused about which water softener to install, lurk around coffee lover forums. They often give great advice or use filtered water if it all sounds too much. Using Filtered Water After the machine is on and heated run a brew cycle into a 16 ounce coffee mug. Empty the mug and repeat until the tank is empty. It’s best not to empty the tank in one cycle so the espresso machine can prime properly and avoid the risk of air getting into the line as the pump continues to run.
