It's worth taking care of your coffee machine
The process of descaling is one of the most important maintenance activities. Very often failures of espresso machines are caused by "calcification" of the device. In practice, this means that lime deposits formed in the coffee machine as a result of high water hardness reduce the possible flow. As a result of this process, the device makes coffee very slowly with a reduced temperature of the drink and completely changes its taste. Decalcification of the coffee maker should be carried out regularly to avoid the above-mentioned problems and extend the life of our device.
Jura ENA8 Odkamienianie krok po kroku
If the espresso machine in the cockpit and during shutdown displays a red pictogram with the word "Decalcification", the decalcification process should be carried out.
We use a cleaning agent COFFIX Descaler ECO, which is ideal for descaling Jura brand espresso machines.
We carry out the process as follows:
- Press the button >Decalcification<..
- Press the button >Start<.
- For descaling, remove the water filter and immerse it in a pot of water.
- Remove and empty the water tray and grounds container and put them back in place.
- Express displays >Add Descaler<..
- Remove and empty the water tank.
- Prepare a descaling solution using COFFIX Descaler ECO According to the ratio of 1:10, that is, 500 ml of WATER and 50 ml of COFFIX agent.
- Fill the empty water tank with the solution and put it in place.
- Ustawiamy duże naczynie pod wylewką ekspresu.
- Press the button >Further<.. Ekspres przeprowadza proces Odkamieniania.
- Empty the water tray and the substituted dish and set it back.
- Express displays >Rinse the water tank<. / >Fill the water tank<..
- Remove the water tank and rinse thoroughly with warm water from the descaler residue.
- Napełniamy zbiornik wody do pełna świeżą wodą.
- Naciskamy przycisk >Further<.. The espresso machine continues the descaling process.
- Po zakończeniu odkamieniania opróżniamy tackę na wodę i podstawione naczynie.
- Decalcification process completed, put the water filter back on.
Worth knowing
Two important factors affect the frequency of the descaling process:
- Set water hardness - When we first start up, we test and set the water hardness of our appliance to determine the water parameters and the frequency of the descaling process. Therefore, it is important that the water hardness is tested correctly.
- Water filter - Use of a water filter COFFIX CF101(High-quality filter replacement - like Jura Claris) improves the taste of the coffee, but most importantly reduces the amount of limescale deposited inside the machine. So it's worth taking care of your machine and changing the water filter regularly.
