Descaling - Checklist (PDF)

Checklist (PDF): Descaling an Espresso Machine (Step-by-Step Instructions)

Is your espresso brewing slower? Or do you hear your machine working differently?

Limescale is one of the biggest silent flavour disruptors in an espresso machine.

Limescale builds up in pipes, thermoblocks, or boilers. This causes:

• Poorer water flow
• Unstable temperature
• Bitter or flat taste
• Additional load on internal components

With this practical descaling checklist you can safely and systematically carry out a complete descaling process — without any technical knowledge and without any risk.

Based on my workshop experience with hundreds of semi-automatic and piston machines.

What do you get?

A clear PDF checklist with:

✔ The right preparation (always cold machine)
✔ Exact order of descaling
✔ How to run the solution through the system
✔ How long should it be left on?
✔ Rinse thoroughly with clean water
✔ How often you should repeat this

Includes clear checkpoints per step, so you don't miss anything.

Who is this checklist for?

• Semi-automatic / piston machines
• Thermoblock and boiler machines
• Beginners and advanced
• Anyone who uses tap water

Not intended for fully automatic or capsule machines.

Why not vinegar?

In the checklist I explain why you should not use vinegar, but a suitable descaling agent with the correct dosage.

This prevents damage to internal parts and seals.

Result

• Better water flow
• Less limescale in pipes
• More stable extraction
• Longer lifespan of your machine
