How do I filter and de-tarate a DeLonghi coffee machine?

Before making your very first coffee with your coffee grinder you can record the hardness of the water so as not to distort the taste of your coffee. Be aware that the harder your water is, the more limestone there is. Limestone is highly harmful to your machine, be sure to filter the water to preserve your machine. You can put a Water Softener softener or filter cartridge in the water tank (it can filter up to 50 litres of water (approximately 300 cups) for 2-3 months depending on the hardness of your water.) The goal is to remove limestone and impurities.

For daily and regular cleaning, you can use cleaning lozenges if the group of your machine is not extractable.

In addition to filtering, you need to desetarate your coffee machine once every two months to make sure that the limestone does not get into the various ducts. For this you can use a universal detartrant or the Delonghi EcoDecalk detartrant, EcoDecalk its composition is based on natural biodegradable, non-corrosive, non-aggressive components. It sanitizes the water and eliminates all bacteria to protect and extend the life of your machine.

How often do you clean your automatic coffee machine?

In order not to distort the aroma of your coffee, a daily cleaning is highly recommended. Indeed, coffee oils are deposited and accumulate in the distribution group or at the end of coffee.

We simply advise you to clean the items in contact with the coffee once a week under lukewarm water and do a scaling of your machine - filtering every two months.

If you go on vacation, or no longer use your coffee machine for a long time: drain the water and then clean, unpack, unplug your machine and leave the elements open so that it can "breathe", this will prevent moisture from seeping into the machine.

How do I clean the milk duct of a Delonghi coffee grinder?

All parts in contact with milk must be cleaned after each use to avoid the growth of bacteria, to preserve the quality and longevity of your machine's milk system but also to be sure of obtaining a creamy, creamy and tasteless milk foam! You can use a suitable detergent to peel off and extract milk residues. Delonghi offers its milk cleanser for Milk Clean coffee machine.
