My new Jura-Capresso Coffee TEAM’s “decalcify!” warning displayed and the manual said to use 6oz of Durgol Descaler. Very hard to find, but Amazon had two types listed and I couldn’t tell the difference, so I tried the Swiss Espresso. I used only one of the two 4oz bottles and it ran through like a charm with no aftertaste in the coffee the next morning. I used what drained out, since it was clean and poured it into my cheap, little, never descaled, old 1995 Saeco steam “espresso?” machine and my 1 year old electric water kettle. It immediately went to work with all the boiling/hissing sounds and sludge rose to the top of the Saeco’s boiler. Some runoff leaked out of the grouphead, so I poured that around the faucet base. I wiped it up a few minutes later and the hard water deposits were gone! After an hour in the machine boiler, it was still hissing, so I left it in overnight. The following morning I drained and ran it a couple of times with fresh water. The boiler was clean! 14 years of caked on buildup was gone. I can’t wait to pull a shot this weekend.

This is one of those products that is pretty hard to review. It seems like it did a little good for my espresso maker and I ended up with a bowl full of water and “stuff”. But really it still makes coffee just like it did before. I assume it helped but if you use this and say it made a huge difference then you should probably be using it more often. It’s nice that it’s two bottles in the box so that there’s more than one treatment.

Among the many products available, Durgol has never failed us and our DeLonghi capp machine. We have stuck with the brand for a few years now, and won’t change it for anything. Will definitely buy again..and again.

I found myself in the same boat as some other people on here, i hadn’t ever used decalcifier, and used it and it clogged my machine. I ran it again and was able to get it to unclog, and now it works better than it ever has!

Forget about that Lime Away stuff….takes way too long to work. Got this product for my Capresso Teakettle (which I just love) and when the heating element becomes covered with water calcification…this stuff removes it in a second. Rinses clean too unlike Lime Away which leaves some product residue behind no matter how many times I rinse my teakettle. Don’t have an espresso machine but see by the reviews that it works stupendously for that also. Just read the directions…couldn’t be simplier.
