- IMPRESA Descaling Solution for Coffee Machines (2 Uses Per Bottle) - Universal, Compatible with Nespresso, Delonghi and All Single Use Coffee and Espresso Machines - Made in USA

I have owned my Breville espresso machine for over five years now, and this descaling solution is the reason it’s still working like new. I use it for my regular cleaning maintenance, and it works perfectly every time. It is very easy to use and much more effective than just using vinegar, which can leave a weird smell or taste. This solution is odorless, rinses out clean, and ensures the internal heating elements and pumps stay free of mineral buildup. If you want to protect your investment and keep your coffee tasting fresh, I highly recommend this 2-pack. It’s a small price to pay to keep an expensive machine running for years!

We first purchased Impresa Descaling Solution nearly 5 years ago, when our Keurig began having problems with dispensing. We hadn't descaled the machine at all for over one year but it was back up and running great after using the Impresa Solution. I followed the directions and noticed no aftertaste to the first cup of hot water out of the machine. A little later, we decided to upgrade to a Nespresso. Lesson learned from the Keurig was to not wait, so again the Impresa solution was used to descale and worked great with no aftertaste. Again we upgraded, this time to a Phillips LatteGo 3200. The descale light comes on, so I reached for the Impresa solution but noticed that Phillips is not included in the named brands. As others here have also noticed, there ingredients are not listed. Hmmm... After reviewing the Phillips owners manual, the section on Descaling specifically states, "Please use Philips descaler only. Under no circumstances should you use a descaler based on sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfamic or acetic acid (vinegar) as this may damage the water circuit in your machine and not dissolve the limescale properly. Not using the Philips descaler will void your warranty." As an Engineer who began his career designing plastic and rubber parts, I knew where to find the manufacturer's ingredients. I've included a snip here of the main ingredients and their concentrations. (For those wondering what the rest of the bottle contains, it;s di-hydrogen monoxide aka water.) Now we have problem because the two main ingredients listed in Impresa's formula will specifically void your Phillips warranty. So if you're withing the 12 month warranty period and are prone to descaling your machine it could be an issue. But also highly unlikely. The only parts likely to be affected in the machine are the o-ring seals. After looking at them and doing some research, it's pretty clear they are a type of rubber called fluoroelastomer (FKM for short.) This type of rubber is good in high temps, durable, resistant to acids (including both used in the Impresa Solution), and it has a food grade version that is FDA approved. The o-rings could also be a type of silicone but that's less likely because they easily tear and attract dirt/debris. We've had our machine for 3+ year and as often as we use it, I'd expect to see small tears or cracks if they were silicone but there are none. If anyone has a spare Phillips o-ring, please stick a lighter under it and let me know the results: Silicone will burn and smell sweet. FKM will not easily burn and will stink if/when it does. So overall, I have no concerns about using Impresa Descaling Solution in my Phillips as far as impacting or damaging the machine. As far as food safety, the first ingredient is 7-10% Citric Acid. This one of the most common food additives in the entire world, and you will be hard pressed to go through your entire household and not find it as an ingredient. You will notice that it's classified as 2A which means it will irritate your eyes, the same as vinegar, lemon juice, or any other acetic acids. So it's perfectly safe unless ... you put it in your eyes. So don't do that. It will hurt. The second ingredient is 3-7% Sulfamic Acid. Sounds ominous, doesn't it? But it isn't. SA is used all over in food production for cleaning off equipment, from beer brewing and the dairy industry to ... you guessed it ... coffee and espresso shops. This is the main ingredient for removing limescale. It's rated as Category 2 Compound for both Eyes and Skin so again, don't pour it in your eyes AND don't use it as a moisturizer on your skin. It will hurt. Once it starts to hurt you're going to wash it off. And then you'll be OK. TL/DR: Great descaler for Keurigs, Nespressos, and Phillips machines. The ingredients are well-known and highly safe for use.

I purchased the Descaler (2 Pack, 2 Uses Per Bottle) – Made in the USA – Universal Descaling Solution for Keurig to clean my coffee maker, and it works just like any standard descaling product. ✔ What I Liked: Easy to use — Just follow your machine’s normal descaling instructions. No strong chemical smell — Comparable to other name-brand options. Did the job — After running the cycle, my Keurig brewed normally and the warning light turned off. Good value — Two bottles with multiple uses makes it cost-effective.

We have an ancient mini Keurig from 2013 which operates like a Hot Shot (no multi-cup water reservoir) and it had a lot of hard water residue. I poured 1/3 of the bottle and 1 c filtered water into the machine and let it sit for 15 min before lifting the handle to let it drain into the machine. I also waited another 10 min to let the descaler do its thing inside the machine. After heating and dispensing into a glass measuring cup, I repeated with filtered water four times. Most of the hard water spots disappeared and the Keurig sounds more "efficient" when brewing and dispensing. The coffee tastes much better too. I've tried descaling with white vinegar before and it took more than 8 cycles to get rid of the vinegar taste and smell. I'll be using the descaler liquid from Impresa from now on.

I've been using this on my automatic espresso machine and it does the job perfectly. The descaler cuts through buildup without any fuss, and you get two bottles which is honestly a ton of product. Name-brand descalers charge you triple for basically the same thing. Made in the USA which is a nice bonus.

When my daily coffee routine started suffering because my machine was brewing incredibly slowly and making strange sputtering noises, I knew it was time for a deep clean. I picked up this universal Descaling Solution, and it completely restored my machine's performance. Here is how it worked in practice: The Effectiveness: It broke down the hard water and mineral buildup incredibly fast. After running the solution through and flushing the machine, it is brewing a full cup in half the time it was taking yesterday. No Aftertaste: This is always my biggest fear with liquid descalers. Thankfully, after running a couple of tanks of fresh water through to rinse it, my next cup of coffee tasted perfectly clean with absolutely no lingering chemical or vinegar-like flavor. The Value: The packaging is great. Getting a 2-pack where each bottle provides 2 uses means you get 4 total descaling sessions out of this order. It's also a nice bonus that it is manufactured in the USA. The Minor Drawback: The instructions are straightforward, but the process does take time. You have to be patient and make sure you run multiple full reservoirs of plain water through your machine afterward to ensure every drop of the cleaner is thoroughly flushed out before making a beverage. Verdict: An incredibly effective, high-value cleaner that gets your coffee maker running like brand new again without ruining the taste of your morning brew. Highly recommended!

I'm leaving this now but maybe will change my rating later. So far this did no better than using vinegar to clean my coffee maker.

The Descaler (2 Pack) is an excellent product for maintaining the performance and longevity of coffee and espresso machines.

I used it on my Keurig and Nespresso machines, and it performed flawlessly, removing buildup without any adverse effects on the machines. Highly Effective at Removing Scale and Build-Up: After using the descaler, my coffee machines operated like new—better water flow, quieter brewing, and no lingering mineral deposits. I noticed an immediate improvement in coffee taste and brewing speed, which had been affected by hard water buildup.

It’s formulated to be tough on limescale but gentle on machine components, ensuring long-term protection for my devices.

It only took about 20 minutes to complete the cycle, and the results were impressive.

This is a great value, especially when compared to branded descaling products that cost significantly more for a single use. Eco-Friendly and Safe Formula: The non-toxic and biodegradable formula is safe for both my machines and the environment, making it a responsible choice for regular maintenance. Minor Considerations: Strong Initial Smell: The solution has a noticeable smell when first used, but it dissipates quickly after rinsing. I recommend running an extra rinse cycle to ensure the odor doesn’t linger in the machine. No Measuring Cap Included: While the bottle provides clear instructions for how much to use, a built-in measuring cap would have been a helpful addition for precise measuring. Real-Life Results: I used this descaler on my Keurig, which had been brewing slower than usual due to mineral buildup. After completing the descaling process, the machine brewed at its original speed, and my coffee tasted noticeably cleaner and less bitter. I also tested it on my Nespresso machine, and the results were equally impressive—consistent flow and better-tasting espresso. Why You Need This Descaler: Regular maintenance is essential for any coffee or espresso machine, especially if you live in an area with hard water. This descaler provides an affordable, effective, and eco-friendly way to ensure your machines last longer and perform at their best.

Works great and easy to understand. However, Amazon mess up with my order, I only got 1 bottle instead of 2 bottles but got a full refund of this product

Producto muy efectivo de fácil aplicación y de buen precio

This stuff works and helps remove the scaling that comes from regular use in an area with hard or mineralized water. Use as the directing say because its strong stuff.

Todo excelente con éste producto, no he tenido problema con la descalcificación de mi máquina. En cuanto se enciende la luz, le hago el mantenimiento correspondiente y la luz desaparece. Es un poco costoso, sin embargo no es un producto que requieras usar tan seguido.

ya he comprado varias veces el producto ya que es necesario para mantener y prolongar la vida de la cafetera KEURING, llega a tiempo, y el precio lo considero justo.
