Do you love the taste of a freshly brewed espresso? If so, then an important step to maintain the quality of your espresso is to have an espresso machine maintenance routine. Regular maintenance prolongs the lifespan of your machine, saves money on energy bills, eliminates unwanted bacteria, mold or mineral deposits, and ensures you have a great tasting cup of coffee or espresso.
One of the most important things you can do for your espresso machine is to descale it regularly. Descaling removes mineral buildup that can clog the machine and make it difficult to produce a good shot of espresso.
This buildup can occur over time due to the calcium and magnesium in tap water. Mineral buildup can clog the machine and make it difficult to produce a good shot of espresso.
To descale your machine, we recommend the EcoDecalk Descaler. Not only is it eco-friendly, but it is universal, meaning it will work on almost all De’Longhi machines. Keep your machine performing at its peak longer by descaling regularly.
Another important thing you can do for your espresso machine is to use a water filter. Water filters remove impurities from the water, which can improve the taste of your coffee.
Impurities in water can include chlorine, fluoride, and sediment. These impurities can make your coffee taste bitter or metallic.
We recommend the De’Longhi Coffee Maker Water Filter for best results. Not only does it keep your coffee and espresso tasting fresh, but regularly changing the filter will prolong the life of your machine
Descaling and water filters are two important things you can do to care for your espresso machine. By following these tips, you can keep your machine running smoothly and producing great coffee for years to come.
