Did you do the whole run a cycle with white vinegar thing?
I have manufacturer de-scaler (espresso machine)
Love when the light comes on and I have an excuse to give it extra attention.
like ‘yes bb i got u’
That’s probably citric acid then. It’s usually one or the other.
That’s the way to do it. Citric acid is cheap and basically tasteless, very good for decalcifying.
Thanks my friend I will try that if vinegar ever goes wrong
Easy to find wherever canning supplies are.
Citric acid works significantly better.
You just mix it with water?
Depends what I’m cleaning. If cleaning the group head of my espresso machine, I just put it directly in the portafilter with a blind. When descaling, yes, just mix it with water.
I’m not ready for this amount of excitement. Calm it down, guys!!
Heck yeah, so satisfying!
I plan to do this tomorrow. I’m looking forward to the first coffee after descaling.
That’s good, it clogs up the pipes if you don’t and can break the compressor. Depending on where you live and if you have a water softener it can happen pretty quickly
Thank you for the reminder (have never cleaned mine)
Never? How long has it been?
Dang! Must find food-grade sillicongrease …
What do you have to use? Yeah some types of bean are especially oily Edit: What beans
About time to lubricate the brew group
I roast my own beans! Should I join a crew?
Does the coffee taste any different after a good machine cleaning?
Tastes like vinegar if you do it wrong
Never, I don’t use vinegar
Nope! Citric acid is tasteless
