Was just thinking about descaling the coffee machine the other day whilst having a poo. So perfect timing, will give this a shot on the nespresso, thanks.
Takes all night to work! Standard coffee machine de-scalers don't.
I can't imagine anything more annoying about a de-scaler than to come downstairs expecting a proper cup of coffee to realise that I am going to have to finish cleaning the machine and flushing it through first

That's what they say - "Our easy to use overnight formula." One or two reviews complain about that too.

Way too much information :confused:

I thought coffee was a natural descaler/cleaner? Not sure where I read that.. Perhaps it was just benjai's comment?

Take two tablespoons of this stuff the next time you need to "descale" yourself :confused:

For real moneysavers, this is not much of a deal. It says to pour 100ml in your machine, the bottle contains 500ml, so this will only do 5 cleans.
The main ingredient of this is citric acid. You can buy a big ol' 100mg bag of food grade citric acid on fleabay for less than two quid and it'll last you years. Dissolve a spoonful or two in water and run it through your machine to descale.

Probably why it take forever to work then, yes citric acid is fine in a kettle at boiling temperatures, I have used it myself before, easy to get packs of it in Asian shops; but not all parts in a coffee machine gets quite so hot.

I use toilet cleaner to de-scale the kettle.
You only need a few drops.

I'll keep that in mind and send it on to "Top Tips" in Viz - using Vinegar stinks a kettle out for weeks, toilet cleaner might just last months!

Alternitavely you could try the Oust one. I use it on my Dolce Gusto machine and it's only £1 for 3 sachets in Tesco
