The buildup of mineral scale is a threat to the performance & durability of coffee & espresso machines. Mineral scale buildup can impact your machine's boiler, preventing water from reaching its optimal brewing temperature. At insufficient temperatures, it is impossible to extract the full flavor from your coffee beans. Mineral scale buildup can also clog water flow, & if not removed, can cause a machine to stop working. Descaling powder removes the mineral scale buildup that forms on the heating element of all coffee equipment. Urnex descaling powder is odorless & rinses away thoroughly, unlike vinegar which can be difficult to rinse, takes longer to be effective, & leaves behind an unpleasant odor & aftertaste that affects the aroma & taste of your coffee. Application: Coffee Machines; Espresso Machines; Dirt Types: Mineral Scale; Physical Form: Powder; Packing Type: Packet.
