GaggiaDescaler RI9111/60 (2 Packs of 250ml)

Effective in removing limescale and easy to use.

Does the job but quite pricey

I used a branded descaler with my Gaggia espresso machine and after a couple of years the solenoid valve got gummed up. It turned out to be bits of corroded boiler. Fortunately Gaggia boilers are relatively cheap and easily replaced. Now I use this Gaggia descaler and everything has been working well for several years.

Its nice to have something that just works, its very effective and I use the "old" water from my coffee machine in my kettle and its descales that perfectly.

Effectively removes limescale from the coffee machine as part of it's regular maintenance

very good easy for using

I used this descaler for the Gaggia Brera and was not disappointed. We have very hard water and I contemplated using an alternative but didn't want to damage the machine or compromise the warranty. The product doesn't have any instruction on a such to indicate how much to use. After researching, you use the whole bottle plus a top up with water to allow the full cycle to complete. A very good descaler and worth the little extra that it costs.

I thought that my Gaggia Gran Prestige was on its last legs. The steam wand whilst working did not create sufficient steam to heat the milk properly and every so often the machine would not depressurise so I ended up with coffee all over the kitchen when I removed the filter. I had cleaned it thoroughly and on the basis I use filtered water never thought the issues could have been due to limescale. After reading a few other reviews of the descaler I thought I would give the machine one last go before it was consigned to the scrap heap. Oh my goodness - the colour of the water that passed through the machine was a real eye opener - needless to say, having followed the instructions, my machine is like new. I will definitely not be leaving it 2 and half years before it gets a descale again!
