Descaling with Durgol and Saving Money on Maintenance.

Descaling your coffee machine keeps it healthy and happy. A happy machine makes better coffee. Durgol is used in this video, I also address some confusion about whether Dezcal is safe to use, and give a tip that can save you money.
I am using my Technivorm Moccamaster, a great machine, and I descale it less then twice a year.

Which one do you think works better between Dezcal & Durgol? Thanks & great video!

[@thecoffeescoop9390]

Thank you for the kind words. Although Dezcal made a larger difference in descaling, perhaps machine was not built up as bad before using the Durgol. Can't clean what isn't dirty. I am working on some tests to address this a little more scientifically.

@@thecoffeescoop9390 I tried Durgol & the Dezcal definitely cleaned better! Do you know what the factory time is from start until the water comes out? If not would you share what yours is at after u descale?

[@littlegreeny8510]

I used the exact same Durgol in mine and it seemed to overheat the brewer. I think I'll try the Dezcal next.

[@thecoffeescoop9390]

Did you try the Dezcal? Any luck?

[@adriand6477]

Any updates between Durgol vs Descal effectiveness... I am currently using Durgol on my wolf gourmet coffee maker... Just ubsure whats the best i want the machine to last a long time.

[@marcob.7801]

First off. I use distilled water from my own stainless "My Pure Water" distiller which iMoccamaster

[@thecoffeescoop9390]

So do you use the Durgol to descale your still instead? I have always been told that coffee tasted better made with water that was around 150ppm tds, so I never tried distilled water. But I should try now and find out.

[@lawnmowerman2199]

Just curious what you thought of the distilled water coffee taste?

[@marcob.7801]

@@lawnmowerman2199 Excellent! Highly recommend AND as a bonus, less need to clean the "plumbing!"

[@jtmurillo139]

Based on my personal experience using citric acid for cleaning purposes ( which can be purchased as powder or liquid ) for cleaning kettles, pots,etc. Has anyone tried cleaning a Moccamaster with citric acid?

[@thecoffeescoop9390]

Dezcal is a citrus acid based product, as long as the ratio is right, i do not see a problem.
I wrote Technivorm about this and their concern was with people using industrial strength cleaners, which might lead to damage.
