FAQs
How often should I descale my espresso machine with Durgol Swiss Espresso?
The frequency depends on your water hardness and machine usage. A general guideline is every 2-3 months. If your machine's indicator light suggests descaling or you notice a decrease in performance, it's time to descale.
Can I use Durgol Swiss Espresso for my drip coffee maker?
Durgol Swiss Espresso is specifically formulated for espresso machines. While it might descale a drip coffee maker, it's best to use a descaler designed for that specific appliance to ensure optimal results and safety.
What should I do if I get the descaler on my skin?
If you get Durgol Swiss Espresso on your skin, immediately wash the affected area with plenty of soap and water. Wear gloves during the descaling process to prevent contact.
What happens if I don't descale my machine?
If you don't descale your machine, scale buildup can clog internal components, reduce heating efficiency, affect the taste of your coffee, and ultimately shorten the lifespan of your espresso machine.
Is Durgol Swiss Espresso safe for all machine parts?
Yes, Durgol Swiss Espresso is formulated to be safe for high-quality espresso machines when used according to the manufacturer's instructions. It is designed to dissolve mineral deposits without damaging internal components.
How much Durgol Swiss Espresso should I use?
Typically, one 500ml bottle is used per descaling cycle. Always refer to your coffee machine's manual for specific recommendations on the amount and dilution, if any.
Troubleshooting
Machine not descaling or program not starting
Ensure the water tank is correctly seated and filled with the descaler solution and water. Check your machine's manual to ensure you are initiating the descaling program correctly. Some machines require a specific button sequence.
Descaler solution leaks from the machine
Verify that all seals and gaskets on the water tank and within the machine are properly in place and not damaged. Ensure the tank is securely fitted.
Machine displays 'descale' light after descaling cycle
Some machines require a reset after the descaling cycle. Consult your machine's manual for instructions on how to reset the descale indicator light. You may need to run an additional rinse cycle.
Cloudy water after descaling
This can sometimes occur if residual descaler or scale particles remain. Run an additional rinse cycle with fresh water until the water runs clear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Compatibility: Durgol Swiss Espresso is compatible with all brands of high-quality espresso machines. Always consult your coffee machine's manual to confirm specific descaling recommendations.
Setup & Use:
- Preparation: Ensure your machine is unplugged and cool. Pour the contents of one Durgol Swiss Espresso bottle (500ml) into the water tank. If your machine's manual specifies diluting the descaler, follow those instructions precisely. Typically, you would top up the tank with water to the indicated level.
- Running the Cycle: Turn on your machine and initiate the descaling program according to your machine's manual. If your machine does not have a specific descaling program, run approximately half of the descaler solution through the brew group and then through the steam wand (if applicable).
- Rinsing: Empty the water tank, rinse it thoroughly, and refill it with fresh, clean water. Run at least one full tank of fresh water through the machine to rinse out any remaining descaler residue. Run water through the brew group and steam wand again.
- Final Step: Discard the remaining descaling solution and rinse the tank once more.
Care & Safety:
- Handling: Wear protective gloves when handling the descaler to avoid skin irritation. Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately and thoroughly with water.
- Storage: Keep the bottle out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Disposal: Dispose of any unused solution according to local regulations. Do not pour large amounts directly into drains without dilution.
