To date, I have almost always taken the original descaling SAECO Descaler because my machine for a cheap Entkalker's too bad. Unfortunately, the original descaler is also rather expensive, so I was quite impressed, not now time to precious descaler of Cromargol to be able to try (WMF).
While the original SAECO Descaler is applied in 200 ml bottles, already half the amount is sufficient when Cromargol descaler from (100 ml). The application is the same as with all decalcifiers: Simply fill the water tank, fill up and run the descaling program. Since I have done the last descaling a long time ago, I was not particularly surprised at how much lime and coffee residues were rinsed out. The entire cleaning took some 45 minutes. After that, I still have a 2x full water tank through to flush out the last remnants descaler.
And now I'm sitting with a freshly brewed latte on the sofa, eingekuscht in a blanket and rejoice in the back perfect coffee enjoyment. With the 4-pack I should also mind. Get there 1 year long.
So for me the precious Cromargol descaler is definitely a real alternative to expensive SAECO Descaler!
