Review on ☕️ Powerful Urnex Dezcal Descale Activator - Cleanse & Remove Scale from Coffee Machines, Espresso, Boilers, Heating Elements & More - 900g Bottle by Tyler Owens

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works perfectly. The most economical way to buy for home use.

This product is a 2 pound commercial version of Dezcal for home use packaged in a box with 4 x 1 ounce envelopes (that's 2 heaping tablespoons in an envelope). The recommended dose is one envelope per application. So, the home use version costs $1.50 per application, while the commercial version costs about $0.041 per application, which is probably cheaper than using white vinegar. It is designed to be mixed with water, then poured into a water tank and brewed in a coffee maker to remove hard water build-up. For domestic coffee makers, 2 heaped tablespoons (one heaped scoop of coffee) should be dissolved in one liter (6 cups on the tank scale) of water. If you use tap water in your machine (you shouldn't), you may need to use dezcal once a week to avoid excess steam, or the machine won't brew all the water. We use either bottled drinking water or water from our reverse osmosis faucet and we find using Dezcal once a month is sufficient. After brewing the mixture through the coffee maker, brew 3 more pots of clean water to thoroughly rinse the machine.

Pros
  • Easy to Use
Cons
  • A Lot of Stuff
