    How often should I descale my SENSEO®?

    Published on 14 November 2023
    We recommend descaling your SENSEO® coffee machine once every 3 months. 
    If your machine is equipped with a CALC light, this will light up when it is time to descale your machine. Normally, this happens after you make 400 cups of coffee. The CALC light only turns off when the machine has been descaled.
    Descaling your machine on a regular basis will improve the taste, volume and temperature of your coffee. It will also prevent your machine from malfunctioning and it will produce less sound during brewing. 
    NOTE: Only use citric-acid-based descalers to prevent any damage to the machine. You can buy a special SENSEO® descaler from our online shop
