Just like your car needs regular servicing, it’s very important to undertake a regular deep clean of your coffee machine so that it stays in fine working order.

To complete a descale of a domestic machine, follow these steps:

While we recommend that you descale your machine every 4 to 6 months, this will vary greatly depending on the frequency that you use your machine and any significant instructions from your machine manufacturer.

If you are using unfiltered water in your machine, or live in a hard water area, it may be advisable to undertake a deep clean every month.

 

Commercial machines – please note
Due to the complexity of the commercial coffee machines, these deep cleans can only be performed by a certified espresso machine service technician. If your coffee machine is on loan from Merlo, your account manager will schedule your regular six month deep clean and machine service for you.
