After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.

Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.

descaling

GLOGLO
edited January 1970 in Espresso Machines
I have a Krups Orchestro and it lets me know when it needs descaling amongst other things.

After each coffee session, i usually run the 'rinse' cycle 2 times to clear any sediment remaining, and i also run hot water through the automatic frother to eliminate milk reside build up as part of my maintanence of this equipment.

What i would like to know is, does this extra volume of water passing through the machine end up hastening the cycle for de-scaling?  

And lastly, is there any prefered descaling kits that can be recommended?

Thanks

  • Hi Glo, The short answer is yes. The amount of scale is a factor of the volume of hot water and the hardness of the water. If you live in a soft water area like sydney it's not really a problem. Otherwise descale as necessary. The message on the Krups may include the volume of water from rinses or it may just be the number of cups. Check with Krups.
