Durgol Swiss Espresso, Descaler and Decalcifier for All Brands of Espresso Machines and Coffee Makers, 4.2 Fluid Ounces (Pack of 2)

Worked great! Was ready to discard Cuisinart thermal carafe coffee maker when I thought I would give this a try. Followed directions. Brew time decreased from 50+ minutes Down to 14 minutes and the coffee tastes great! Product well worth the money!

Worked well for descaling my espresso machine. I have Breville dual boiler. I had to use both bottles at once and diluted it slightly more to get enough liquid for the machine to run enough times to descale, but it worked.

I'm the proud owner of a Dolce Gusto machine and a not-so-proud member of a household where the only one who cares about maintenance of this machine is...me.So as the only one, I'm down with the easy, and this is pretty much it.Fortunately the machine had instructions, since the guides for this product are all in German or French. There are pictures for us barbarian English speakers though, but I still wanted to do this right. So in a nutshell, if you have a Dolce Gusto, here you go:One bottle of this stuff in the water tank (one measure)Four measures (.5 L) into the water tank (I just use the empty bottle)Follow the rest of the instructions on the machine.That's...it. Start to finish about fifteen minutes, and my espressos are coming out much better now. The flow is much improved and I'm very happy with this. It's also given me an opportunity to learn some German, so there's an educational aspect to this product.Really, it works great. I'm more confident in this than I am with some home formula that someone posted on Reddit. Just do it.

Almost a year ago, I purchased a Delonghi espresso machine so that rather than spending about 50 dollars per week on coffee in the morning, I could amp up my kitchen and make lattes and machiattos at home. Just recently, I learned that I should be descaling my machine to make sure that it runs clearly and is at peak performance. Well, the cleaner that is associated with the machine costs a lot more than the Durgol brand, so I was lucky to hear from a friend that she used this particular brand to clean her Gaggia machine. I ordered it from Amazon, delivery was quick (thank you Amazon Prime) and I gave it a try the first day that I had it. The decalcifier worked pretty well, after using it I noticed that the machine was running faster than it had been the past few weeks and there was a really clear stream coming from the machine. I recommend this brand to anyone with a higher end espresso machine, it's cheaper than the signature cleaner associate with the machine line, and works really well.Update: I've found a really useful hack that works really well. After reading about it in a DIY blog, I started decalcifying my espresso machine with citric acid every few weeks. In particular, I chose this Citric Acid Powder - Ultra Fine Pure Powdered Crystals - Natural Preservative Food Grade Quality (16 oz) brand because I already had it around the house ( I use it to make bath bombs, that's another thing EVERYONE should try making once) and it worked really well at cleaning my machine. I keep the Durgol, because I consider it my "deep cleaner" and I use the citric acid in between to keep the machine clean. The best part is that the citric acid is all natural, so there's less chemicals being used to clean your espresso machine. I definitely recommend doing this in conjunction with the Durgol every few months. Nature's Candy is a great brand too, and I have been using it for every 3-4 weeks on my machine.

I had been trying to purchase Descaler and Decalcifier directly from Lavazza for my Lavazza Classy Plus. Either they are out of stock or very high shipping fee. I was worried about using a brand other than the Lazazza brand for a Lavazza machine. I researched a few brands and some of the reviews for other Descaler and Decalcifiers stated that a chemical taste remained after cleaning. Durgol has great reviews and is "unscented". I'm so glad that I took the chance On Durgol Descaler and Decalcifier. I first read the directions on my Lavazza machine then read the directions for the Durgol Descaler and Decalcifier and got to work. There are A Lot of steps but worked step by step perfectly. As soon as the final step was completed the "clean light" went off on my Lavazza machine just as was indicated in the instructions. I highly recommend this product. Fair price, quick shipping and works perfectly!

I got a used Gaggia espresso machine for a great price but it did need a thorough descaling. This product did in seconds what other solutions would have taken hours. The espresso machine was functioning in no time and I am amazed at how quickly and thoroughly it worked. I instantly saw a difference in flow and pressure. However, I wish there would be a bigger package with a powder like Pully that you can use as a long-term solution from time to time and dose it yourself, as this product is a bit on the pricy side given it is only 2 uses. But for a base cleaning of a neglected machine, it simply is magic!

It works how it should work.

Had an issue where no water was coming out of my espresso machine. After running a cleaning cycle with this, the machine runs like new again. No aftertaste at all and was so easy to use.
