How to descale Moccamaster filter coffee machine?
How often you should descale your Moccamaster depends on the hardness of the water used and the frequency of use. Moccamaster recommends descaling after every 100 uses (every pack of filter papers). There are couple of indications that descaling is needed - the glass tube inside the water reservoir is slightly cloudy or the machine is making louder noises during the brewing process.

- Fill the water reservoir with 150ml of tap water and add 150ml Durgol descaler. Stir well with a plastic spoon (do not use metal or silver spoons) until the solvent is completely mixed).
- Turn on the Moccamaster filter coffee machine and wait until all the water has run through the machine into the pot.
- Once the cycle has finished, carry out the process twice more with clear water so that the device is well rinsed.

Coffee leaves oily residues which can build up over time and make your coffee taste bitter. If you fill your water reservoir with the coffee jug, even if you rinse it, there will always remain a bit of coffee which will eventually pollute your machine.
