When heating tap water, limescale deposits form in all electrical appliances such as
kettles.
Traditionally, people want to descale a kettle with vinegar. Solve the problem by haggling with the amount of coffee or water. Simply by using a little less water or a little more coffee in the filter (scoop with coffee bump). But in most cases the cause is lime.
When heating tap water, limescale deposits form in all electrical appliances such as kettles.
The lime deposits are dissolved by the acid component in the descaler. The intensity of the reaction can be seen by the extent to which bubbles develop on the lime. The effectiveness of a descaler largely depends on the acid component. A good descaler ensures quick and sufficient descaling when used in the correct dosage. durgol universal is safe, neutral/odorless and does not leave an unpleasant taste in your kettle, so the tea taste remains optimal. durgol is not harmful to the environment.

To descale your kettle safely, we recommend not using citric acid or vinegar. Cleaning vinegar also dissolves fats! Rubbers, gaskets and silicone seams consist of grease. If we dissolve these greases, leaks will occur in your machine. Products containing citric acid can cause insoluble deposits, which sooner or later lead to problems. Both citric acid and cleaning vinegar leave an unpleasant odor. All durgol products have their specific application and contain product properties and special additives (safe substances) that protect your device or machine.
To maintain functionality and taste, filter coffee machines (even when using soft water) must be descaled regularly.
Moccamaster recommends descaling once a month or at the latest after making coffee 100 times. Otherwise, deposits and residues will not only affect the taste of the coffee, but also increase electricity costs as the lead time increases. Limescale can also cause the machine to break down more quickly. With the right product, the filter coffee machine is easy to descale. Durgol universal offers effortless, efficient and at the same time gentle cleaning, while products containing vinegar usually leave an unpleasant taste and odor. Moccamaster has been working with Durgol for a long time to extend the lifespan of Moccamaster filter coffee machines.
