        That’s probably citric acid then. It’s usually one or the other.

          That’s the way to do it. Citric acid is cheap and basically tasteless, very good for decalcifying.

        You just mix it with water?

          Depends what I’m cleaning. If cleaning the group head of my espresso machine, I just put it directly in the portafilter with a blind. When descaling, yes, just mix it with water.

      I heard you shouldn‘t use vinegar as this fucks up the taste? Or is this big decalcifyer propaganda?

        It won’t mess up the taste as long as you run a water cycle or two afterwards.

        But apple cider vinegar cures polio, that’s just RFK.

        It can damage the seals. Citric acid works much better and is safer. Will also never leave an after taste.

          Then I just have an excuse to open it up and replace the seals
