What is the difference between Cleancaf® and Dezcal™?
Cleancaf® is first and foremost a cleaner. It also contains a gentle descaling component that works as a scale inhibitor. When used regularly on a new machine (or at least one which has not already developed a significant scale problem), it will work to prevent the accumulation of scale buildup on the internal parts of the machine. While inhibiting scale development, its cleaning elements work to remove the stale coffee oil buildups which cause freshly brewed coffee to taste bitter. Over time, however, (and especially in hard water environments) a machine will need to be thoroughly descaled in order to preserve quick brew times and hot brew temperatures. Dezcal™ is specifically designed to address these concerns. Solely a descaling agent, Dezcal™ is engineered to remove even the toughest scale buildup from machinery. At the same time, it is tempered for use on all of the materials which normally comprise coffee and espresso equipment so it is “tough on scale, but easy on equipment.” Wh
