OMGeeeee! I tried this yesterday. The resulting pot of "water" was as dark as a pot of coffee! Awesome results!

Just a minor correction, Dezcal is more acidic than white vinegar. It contains sulfamic acid which has a ph of 1. White vinegar has a ph of 4.75.
White vinegar is effective at removing mineral deposits in your coffee maker. It will not damage anything.

I only use distilled water in my coffee makers

I had great luck with vinegar. Vinegar is acetic acid which is perfect to remove lime scale and it's safer than Descal. Run a high concentration of vinegar through and let the last cycle sit in the coffee maker for 4 to 8 hours. Then run two containers of hot water through to clean out the vinegar. White vinegar will cost you 25¢ compared to $10 for the sponsored product you recommend. You are profiting from the bad product you are pitching.

Ma'am you can buy a new drip coffee maker for 15 bucks, and I bet you that this descaling thing costed like 20

Bottom line is you have to use an acid to de -scale it.

She's the absolute best on America's Test Kitchen. I love every video she's in.

Dunno about this. I haven't used a drip coffee maker for probably 5 or 6 years now, but when I did, a 50/50 vinegar and water mix worked perfectly for a machine that I used daily without any issues. It could be that a problem could occur if you don't immediately do a few rinse cycles after clearing the lines.
I always did that as a precautionary measure to be sure that there was no leftover vinegar to taint my coffee taste, but I'm sure that it could also prevent any drying or other degrading of the tubing.
EDIT: I also ALWAYS used filtered water from my Britta pitcher. I'm sure that contributed to my lack of need to clear my lines very often. -
Des cal or dee scale?

Been doing the vinegar & water for 20+ years….now its an issue…….o please

Much cheaper to simply buy citric acid (food grade) powder and mix it with filtered water. I bought a 2 lb. bag for under $10 and it will last me for years, using only a tablespoon per use.

Notice she doesn’t tell you what kind of toxic ingredients are in the product she’s pushing.

I use this method and just love the results. I only need to do this approximately once per year, and I rinse extensively to ensure the cleaning chemicals are fully flushed out. Excellent tip! 👍❤😁

Urnex makes two products for this purpose: Dezcal and Cleancaf. Which is better?

Using filtered water can help slow mineral build up.

Thank YOU! ❤❤❤

Would this still be necessary if you only use distilled or RO water? Or does it just reduce the frequency of descaling needed?
