How frequently should I descale and clean my brewer, and what should I use?

Descale your brewer every 100 brew cycles, or after finishing a box of 100-count filters. If you have hard water, you may need to descale more frequently. While descaler will remove limescale buildup on the brewer’s boiling element, cleaner will remove the buildup of coffee oils and organic materials. You may clean the brewer as frequently as you would like.

For descaling and cleaning your brewer, we recommend Urnex products, which include:

• Urnex BioCaf Descaler
• Urnex BioCaf Cleaner
• Urnex Dezcal Descaler
• Urnex Cleancaf Cleaner

To use, follow the directions on the packaging.

 We do not recommend descaling with vinegar. It may not effectively remove buildup and can be difficult to thoroughly rinse, resulting in a lingering odor that could affect future brews.
