Puly Caff Descaler for Espresso or Coffee Machines
What
QqqqqDescaling is necessary if the espresso machine had accumulated a lot of minerals from the water. It is much better to treat and soften the water than descaling an espresso machine too much.
Severe amount of mineral build-ups can cause sensors to malfunction, creating various issues which can be hazardous. However, we must warn that the descaling agent may not be able to reach the key components to clear off limescale adequately. Users should not be using mineral or Alkaline water for coffee machines.

This product is for most types of domestic espresso machines.
Descaling can be a challenging process. For the best effect with the least damage, it should be done by a qualified technician.
Puly Caff Descaler for Espresso or Coffee Machines is in powdered form, is food grade and in individual sachets for easier storage.
The powdered version can only work with hot water and is less damaging to metal. Product has to be dissolved fully before using.
When
It is hard to judge when is descaling needed as it depends on the amount of usage and the hardness of the water. For users who diligently soften their water to be good enough for their espresso machine, they may never need to be descaled.
Using a water softener as a preventive measure should be the correct way to go than frequent descaling.
Users can use this product for regular preventive descaling to clear off light layers of build-up.
How
The instructions below are for clearing light layers of build-ups along the water circuitry.
If your machine wasn’t purchased from Fine Coffee Company, please refer to your vendor for instructions.
Who
For users who want to do light and preventive descaling, it’s possible that the user can do it themselves.
For severe cases, please contact a qualified serviceman.
Things to note and disclamer
Do note that the instructions below are not sufficient to clear off a huge amount of limescale or all types of limescale. It is also not possible for the descaler to reach all ends of the machine, especially to the top of the boiler to clear off limescale around key components.
Also be aware that descaling often voids the warranty for most professional machines including those sold by us as descaling is a very erosive process.
It’s not uncommon for problems to arise after descaling. This can happen when bits of limescale can’t dissolve completely but flake off the walls, and end up choking a valve. Or key components that could be damaged in the process, especially if the process was incorrectly done.
We will not be responsible for any damages or hurt that might be possible during the process.
We do not advocate in heavy and frequent descaling, we firmly believe that the correct way is to prevent limescale from building up by using softened water. Descaling should always be the last resort.
Please refer to a qualified technician if you suspect that your machine has a huge amount of mineral build-ups.
