descaling coffee machine

Hi all

Hope you can help me. I've got a DeLonghi Combination Coffee/Espresso machine, I've had it since August 09, and I'd say its probably been in constant use since then, we *love* our coffee in this house! We mainly use the filter coffee bit, and rarely use the cappuccino/espresso

Have noticed recently that its getting increasingly slow in filtering the coffee and filling the jug, so I'm assuming it needs descaling, but I can't find the instructions...and don't have broadband so downloading another set is out of the question.

For my kettle and the water filter jug I just use a liquid product called Furex, and that works brilliantly...but I don't know if that suitable for a drip coffee maker, or even how I'd add it to the system....just throw it in the cold water tank with some cold water or what?

So, folks how do you descale your drip coffee machines, and what products do you use?

This is a question for your machine's manufacturer, not a newsgroup, unless someone else happens to have the exact brand and model you have.

If you love your coffee, consider using better water, e.g., having a filtration system installed in your home. We have an r/o (reverse osmosis) and it's great. It also eliminates the need for descaling.

Which I would imagine is reasonably likely, its hardly a rare make of machine...

Yeah I'm sure our landlord would be delighted if we did that!

We descale our coffee machines by following the manual of instructions that came with them.

OK. There are filtration systems such as Britta that can help you.
