Yeah. I use 1:3 vinegar:water, and then two more clean cycles of all water, and I can taste my coffee better afterwards. Maybe I should run the clean cycle before the maker says to, but I’m not a perfect person.
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.
Did you do the whole run a cycle with white vinegar thing?
I have manufacturer de-scaler (espresso machine)
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.
Thanks my friend I will try that if vinegar ever goes wrong
Easy to find wherever canning supplies are.
Love when the light comes on and I have an excuse to give it extra attention.
like ‘yes bb i got u’
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.

It can damage the seals. Citric acid works much better and is safer. Will also never leave an after taste.
It also only needs one rinse cycle after
Then I just have an excuse to open it up and replace the seals
“Nah, it’s just ice cream”
I’m too dull to understand I’m afraid
But apple cider vinegar cures polio, that’s just RFK.
Citric acid works significantly better.
You just mix it with water?
