☕ Your Fully Automatic Coffee Machine: Your Morning Hero
Your fully automatic coffee machine might just be your best friend in the morning. Always ready for a shot of espresso, a smooth cappuccino, or a strong cup of comfort. But just like you, your coffee buddy needs a little attention now and then. And no, we’re not talking about a hug – we’re talking about descaling.
🧊 Lime scale? In my coffee?
Yep. Not literally in your cup, thankfully. But tap water naturally contains lime. Totally normal. The thing is… that water runs through the pipes and the inside of your machine every time. And lime quietly builds up there. You might not notice it right away, but your coffee machine sure does.
🚨 What are the consequences?
- Your coffee tastes weaker or isn’t as hot
- The machine takes longer to brew
- And one day… it just gives up 🙈 (and you’re left without coffee – disaster!)
🗓️ How often should I descale?
That depends on how much coffee you drink (or how hard your machine works) and how hard your water is. But don’t worry, here’s a handy guide:
- 📌 Without water filter → every 1 to 2 months
- 📌 With water filter → every 2 to 3 months
- 📌 Not sure? → Let your machine guide you – it will notify you when it’s time
🧽 How do you do it?
It might sound like a hassle, but it’s actually super easy. What do you need?
- The right descaling product from Yunio
- About 20 to 30 minutes
- And a coffee for yourself while your machine does the work 😉
Step-by-step:
- Follow the instructions on your Yunio coffee machine’s screen
- Add the correct descaling product
- Start the descaling program (via the menu in the top left)
- The machine does the rest – it rinses and bubbles automatically
- Don’t forget to rinse thoroughly with clean water afterward
⚠️ Warning: Don’t use vinegar or lemon juice, tempting as it may be. Your machine won’t appreciate it. These products can damage the rubber and internal parts – and that’s just not worth the risk.
🎁 What’s in it for you?
Descaling might not be the most exciting chore, but it definitely pays off:
✅ Always delicious coffee, just the way it should be
✅ A coffee machine that lasts much longer
✅ Less chance of breakdowns or expensive repairs
✅ And you? You’re spared from coffee-less mornings 😅
💬 Frequently Asked Questions
“Do I also need to clean it?”
Yes! Besides descaling, it’s smart to clean the brew group and milk system daily. Think of removing coffee oils and milk residues. Our Yunio coffee machines also have a cleaning program for this, which you can find via the menu in the top left.
“Is any descaler okay?”
No. Only use Yunio’s descaling product. That way, everything runs smoothly and your warranty stays valid.
