If you own a Dolce Gusto coffee machine, it’s important to regularly descale it to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Descaling helps remove mineral buildup from the internal components of the machine, preventing clogs and maintaining the quality of your drinks. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to perform a descale on your Dolce Gusto machine.

What you’ll need

Step 1: Prepare the machine

Before you begin the descaling process, make sure your Dolce Gusto machine is turned off and unplugged. Remove any capsules or pods from the brew head, and empty the water tank.

Step 2: Prepare the descaling solution

If you have a descaling kit, follow the instructions provided to prepare the solution. If not, you can make a homemade solution by mixing citric acid with water according to the package instructions. Make sure to use a non-toxic and food-safe descaling solution.

Step 3: Begin descaling

Fill the water tank with the descaling solution mixed with water. The exact ratio will depend on the specific descaling solution or citric acid you are using, so refer to the instructions. Place a container under the brew head to collect the solution.

Step 4: Run the descaling cycle

Turn on your Dolce Gusto machine and let it run a cycle as if you were brewing a cup of coffee. This will circulate the descaling solution throughout the internal components, removing any mineral deposits. Make sure to follow your machine’s instructions for running a brew cycle.

Step 5: Rinse and repeat

After the descaling cycle is complete, empty the container and rinse it thoroughly. Refill the water tank with clean water and run several brew cycles without any coffee pods or capsules. This will help flush out any remaining descaling solution from the machine.

Step 6: Clean the external parts

While the internal components of your Dolce Gusto machine are descaling, take the opportunity to wipe down the external parts. Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior surfaces, including the water tank and drip tray.

Step 7: Enjoy your fresh coffee

Once you’ve completed the descaling process and rinsed your machine thoroughly, your Dolce Gusto is ready to brew delicious coffee again. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your freshly descaled coffee!

Performing regular descaling on your Dolce Gusto machine is essential for maintaining its performance and extending its lifespan. By following these steps and staying consistent with your descaling routine, you can continue to enjoy high-quality coffee from your Dolce Gusto for years to come.

Remember to always refer to your specific machine’s manual for any descaling instructions provided by the manufacturer. Enjoy your coffee!
