How do I descale my Philips Café Gourmet Coffee Maker?
It is important to descale your Philips Café Gourmet Coffee Maker regularly to ensure optimal brewing results for a long time. Below you will find detailed instructions and a video on how you can do this.
Note: To descale the coffee maker, you can use any liquid descaler or use white household vinegar (4% acetic acid). We advise you not to use powder descalers or descaling tablets as they could damage the inside of your coffee maker.
