Protecting your espresso machine from limescale

Limescale can significantly shorten the lifespan of your machine and affect the taste of your espresso. To prevent this, it is important to replace your water filter on time and descale your machine regularly (every 3 months) using an espresso machine descaler.

This water filter lasts for approximately 30 litres of water or 400 cups of coffee. Replace it at least once every 3 months. If you use your machine frequently, we recommend replacing the water filter more often.
