Descaling Instructions Why should I descale my machine?
Descaling (decalcifying) helps to remove mineral buildup from the internal workings of your espresso machine. Mineral buildup can slow down or stop the machine from working. Decalcifying can help water flow through the machine, ensure the ready temperature is quickly reached, clean the showerhead screen and portafilter basket and clear build up from the steam wand. See below for instructions on descaling your Starbucks Barista Espresso machine. If you have a Starbucks Italia or Digital Italia, check the owners manual for descaling instructions.
