When heating tap water, limescale deposits form in all electrical appliances, such as
kettles.


Traditionally, people want to descale a kettle with vinegar, solving the problem by compromising on the amount of coffee or water. Simply by using slightly less water or slightly more coffee in the filter (a scoop with a mound of coffee). But in most cases, the cause is limescale.

When heating tap water, limescale deposits form in all electrical appliances, such as kettles. The limescale is 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 limescale. The effectiveness of a descaler depends significantly on the acid component.
When used correctly, a good descaler ensures fast and thorough descaling. Durgol Universal is safe, neutral/odorless, and leaves no unpleasant taste in your kettle, ensuring the tea flavor remains optimal. Durgol is not harmful to the environment. Durgol products are biodegradable (according to OECD 302B).

To safely descale your kettle, we advise against using citric acid or vinegar. Cleaning vinegar actually dissolves grease! Rubbers, gaskets, and silicone seams consist of grease. If we dissolve this grease, leaks will occur in your machine. Products containing citric acid can cause insoluble sediment, which will 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 appliance 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.
