Steps to descale your MELITTA AROMAFRESH 1030-05 coffee maker

Preparation of the descaling solution: Use a specific descaling product for coffee makers or prepare a homemade solution by mixing equal parts of white vinegar and water.
Filling the reservoir: Pour the descaling solution into the water reservoir of the coffee maker.
Installing the filter: Place an empty coffee filter in the filter holder to prevent the solution from contaminating the filter holder.
Starting the cycle: Start a brewing cycle as you would for a normal coffee so that the solution circulates throughout the system.
Pause: Mid-cycle, turn off the coffee maker and let the solution sit for 15 to 30 minutes to effectively dissolve the limescale.
Resuming the cycle: Turn the coffee maker back on and let the descaling cycle finish.
Rinsing: Empty the pot, rinse the reservoir with clear water, then fill it with clean water. Run one or two cycles of clear water to remove any residue of the descaler.
Final cleaning: Clean the filter holder and the pot with soapy hot water to remove any traces of the product.

Maintenance tips

It is recommended to descale your coffee maker every 2 to 3 months, depending on the hardness of your water, to preserve the quality of your coffee and the longevity of your appliance.
