Why regular descaling is essential for your professional coffee machine

A good cup of coffee starts with a well-maintained coffee machine. In the hospitality industry, at the office, or in a shop, your coffee machine is often the heart of your hospitality. But did you know that limescale buildup can wreak havoc on professional coffee machines?

At Wagemakers Koffie & Thee Cadeau we see it every day: malfunctions, loss of taste and unnecessary repairs because too little descaling is done or machines are not maintained enough

Why you should descale a professional coffee machine

Prevents malfunctions and expensive repairs

Maintains the optimal taste of your coffee

Extends the life of your machine

Saves energy and costs


Whether you work with an Etna, WMF, Jura, Schaerer or La Marzocco: descaling is not a luxury, but a must.

How often should you descale a coffee machine?

This depends on the type of machine and water usage, but in general:

Every 4 to 8 weeks with heavy use. If you use filtered water or a water softener, you can reduce the frequency slightly.


This is how you descale

1. Use a professional descaling agent – ​​not vinegar!

2. Follow the instructions of your machine or leave this to a specialist.

3. Always rinse well to avoid residual flavors.
