Review on ☕ De'Longhi EcoDecalk Descaler: Eco-Friendly Solution for Coffee & Espresso Machines, 16.90 oz (5 uses) by Ryan Mosqueda

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Long overdue item for small appliance parts and accessories

I've been a very very bad barista, I disassemble and reassemble all the parts on my DeLonghi to thoroughly clean them, but I've probably taken about 1500 shots since then , which I received My car and I didn't do the most important service at all, the descaling! I think I could use the excuse that I thought I was upgrading a long time ago, my motor was working really hard, the shots were slow and the coffee tasted awful, I thought this beast was already dead but it looks like all he needs is some TLC. So I finally got out and did what I should have done a long time ago and invested in a descaler and now the coffee magically tastes good again! Please note that for my machine (EC702), according to the manual, I use 1/2 bottle (250ml) per 1 liter of water, twice the usual, which barely fits in the tank. I'm not sure how much I "reversed" the damage, and while I left without cleaning, I'm sure there is still some debris inside (it would be interesting to see someone open up and before and after). It's not too late to correct my mistakes, this thing guarantees me at least another year before I start throwing bones at a new car. I will buy again.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Legacy model
