How Often Should I Descale My Coffee Maker?

Descaling is all about deep cleaning. It helps reach out to all the nooks and corners of the coffee maker machine that are hard to reach elsewise. But descaling is not done every week or month. It usually depends upon how much you utilize your machine. But descaling it every third month is a very good idea. However, if you are just using it once everyday, then descaling it twice per year is a good idea. Restaurants and coffee shops have to descale their machines more often though as they are used around the clock and require deep cleaning to perform optimally.

Descaling is crucial to keep your coffee maker intact for the years to come. Thus, always invest in a descaling solution and understand the method wel to perform it once a while.
