Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
- How often should I descale my machine?
Ideally every 4 weeks. This can vary according to machine usage & water quality. Scale can develop quickly in your machine reducing its ability to heat & maintain ideal coffee making & steaming temperature.
- I have never descaled my machine before, how much should I use?
If your machine has not been descaled before OR is cleaned less often than advised, increase the concentration by up to 3 times or repeat the cleaning process up to 3 times.
- My machine handle and filters have a lot of old coffee residue on them, can I use this product to clean them?
Yes, Triple Action Formula can also be used for soaking group handles, filter baskets and milk jugs whilst being safe on all metal & plastic surfaces. Add 50ml to Triple Action to enough hot water to cover the parts in a container and allow to soak for 30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water afterwards. Alternatively, there are dedicated cleaning powders and tablets designed to assist in the removal of coffee.
- My milk steam arm is not working very well, it may be blocked, how should I clean it?
Follow the 3 steps for cleaning. During this process, try opening and closing your steam arm a number of times giving the solution time to work. Alternatively use Clean Machine’s Milk Steamer Solution for dedicated milk cleaning.
- Can I use citric acid or vinegar to descale with?
Citric acid only does part of the job. It will only lift a small percentage of scale and has no cleaning action. Citric acid does not dissolve scale. It will lift it into flakes which can cause blockages in your machine making it costly to repair. Vinegar does minimal descaling, no cleaning and can cause corrosion and deterioration of internal components and seals inside your machine. Triple Action Formula is safe on all metal, plastic and rubber surfaces, and is a highly effective descaler and cleaner.
- What type of water should I use in my machine?
Virtually every manufacturer recommends using filtered water. Tap water has too many chemicals added that will taint the flavour of even the best coffee beans. Whilst bottled water is an improvement, many have a high mineral content which may increase scale build-up, and it is expensive. A water filter fitted under your kitchen sink will remove bad-tasting chemicals and odours, and will give you an endless supply of great-tasting water for drinking, cooking, ice cubes and making excellent coffee. If you would like a suitable water filter for home or work, simply call the 1300#, mention you are a ‘Triple Action’ customer and we will offer a special price on a suitable system.
