ℹ️ COFFEE MACHINE DESCALER BUYING GUIDE
Which Coffee Machine Descaler Do You Need?
Check the machine instructions
Start with the manufacturer’s guidance. Some machines require a specific tablet or automatic descaling programme, while other compatible equipment can use a suitable liquid or powder product.
JURA specifically instructs users to use JURA descaling tablets rather than liquid descaler in its automatic machines.
JURA descaling tablets
JURA descaling tablets are formulated for compatible JURA automatic coffee machines and work with their integrated descaling programmes.
The current formulation uses a two-phase process, with different pack quantities available rather than separate descaler varieties.
Urnex Dezcal
Urnex Dezcal is available in tablet, liquid and powder formats for compatible coffee equipment and hot-water systems. Choose the format and dose specified for the equipment being descaled.
Hard water and descaling
Harder water can increase the rate at which mineral deposits form and may affect how frequently descaling is required.
Use our UK Water Hardness Map as a broad regional guide, then follow the maintenance instructions for the machine.

WATER HARDNESS & LIMESCALE
Is Your Coffee Machine in a Hard-Water Area?
Water hardness varies considerably across the UK and affects the amount of limescale a coffee machine may encounter.
It can also affect how much water a filter can treat before it needs replacing.
Use our UK Water Hardness Map as a broad regional guide, then confirm the water hardness at the property when selecting or configuring a filtration system.
A suitable filter helps manage incoming water. Descaler removes mineral deposits that have already formed.
JURA states that compatible machines using an activated CLARIS filter correctly do not require descaling. That claim applies specifically to the appropriate JURA machine and filter system and should not be treated as a universal rule for every coffee machine.

Coffee Machine Descaler FAQs
Answers about limescale, descaling tablets, liquid and powder descalers, water hardness and compatibility.
What does coffee machine descaler do?
Descaler removes limescale and other mineral deposits from compatible internal water circuits, boilers and heating systems.
Can I use any descaler in my coffee machine?
No. Check the manufacturer’s instructions. Some machines require a specific product, dose or automatic programme.
Is descaling the same as cleaning?
No. Descaling targets mineral deposits in the water system. Coffee-machine cleaners remove coffee oils and residue from brewing components. They normally require different products.
Can I use liquid descaler in a JURA machine?
JURA instructs users to descale compatible machines with JURA descaling tablets rather than liquid descaling products.
How often should I descale my coffee machine?
Frequency depends on water hardness, machine usage, filtration and the manufacturer’s instructions. Automatic machines may display a descaling prompt.
Does hard water mean more frequent descaling?
Potentially. Harder water contains more scale-forming minerals, which may increase limescale accumulation where suitable filtration is not controlling it.

Does a water filter remove the need for descaling?
Generally, no - but they do help. Some manufacturers provide specific no-descaling guidance for correctly filtered machines, but this does not apply to every machine or filtration system.
How can I check my local water hardness?
Use the StafCo UK Water Hardness Map as an initial guide, then check your water supplier’s postcode information or test the water at the property.
Can StafCo help me choose a descaler?
Yes, absolutely. We know coffee machines and coffee kit inside out. GET IN TOUCH and we’ll help narrow down the suitable product.
