Descaling removes the mineral scale build-up that forms on the heating element of all coffee equipment. Urnex Descaling Powder is odor free and rinses away thoroughly, unlike vinegar which can be difficult to rinse, takes longer to be effective and leaves behind an unpleasant odor and aftertaste that affects the aroma and taste of your coffee.

The build-up of mineral scale is a threat to the performance and durability of coffee and espresso machines. Mineral scale build-up can impact your machine’s boiler, preventing water from reaching its optimal brewing temperature. At insufficient temperatures, it is impossible to extract the full flavor from your coffee beans. Mineral scale build-up can also clog water flow, and if not removed, can cause a machine to stop working.
For espresso machines, please follow your machine's descaling instructions.
