Descale Senseo

How to descale a Senseo coffee pad machine:

  1. In a measuring cup mix 50 g of citric acid with 1 liter of water and stir until the powder completely dissolves.
  2. Fill the water reservoir of the Senseo up to the MAX mark with the decalcifying fluid.
  3. Press the on / off switch and wait until the operation indicator lights up continuously.
  4. Place the pad holder for a single cup with a used (!) Coffee pod in the coffee machine and close the lid.
  5. Place a slightly larger vessel (capacity> 1 liter) under the spout to catch the descaling solution.
  6. Press the two-cup button and let the machine run. Repeat this until the water tank is empty.
  7. Repeat the entire process, so that at least 2 liters of descaling mixture go through the machine.
  8. Rinse the water tank thoroughly with tap water. Then fill to MAX with tap water and run once through the machine.
  9. Repeat the last step.
  10. Remove the used pad and clean the pad holder.
