Descaling? My coffee machine has been running daily for 6 years without that made up mumbo-jumbo!

You can do that if you have soft water. Hard city water would cake those conduits with calcium in 6 months.

I live with hard water. Got filters on my sink, shower and I use distilled water for coffee.

Well well look at fancy pants over here with the soft water

Hope you don't have lead pipes and soft water! Cause those two don't mix. And by don't mix I mean do mix, which is why it's bad.

If you don't put reptiles in your machine, do you still have to descale it?

[-] MBech@feddit.dk 8 points 1 year ago

Doubt it, but what's even the point then.

[-] olafurp@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I use instant coffee, I just need a kettle.

I'm team pour-over coffee maker. It goes in the dishwasher every now and then. All parts are visible, so I know if it looks groddy.

Chemex here and I just hit it with a denture cleaning tablet once in a while.

[-] MBech@feddit.dk 3 points 1 year ago

That can do in a pinch, but I don't like the taste of the few instant coffees I've tried

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I dont prefer it but it lasts forever considering the coffee I watched steve1989 drink out of old MREs. I keep one jar as a backup.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Then you need to descale the kettle. Same difference.

[-] olafurp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You boil a full kettle with citric acid and you're done.
