Durgol 0291 Swiss Espresso Decalcifying Liquid for Coffee/Espresso Machines 2-bottle



It has my machine working again!!!
I bought a De Longhi Magnifica Super Automatic espresso machine from Starbucks about 2 years ago. I use it almost everyday and since buying it, I have descaled it usually once a month, even though the automatic descaler indicator did not warn me to do so. I was using the descaler that was sold at Starbucks not knowing that the powder was actually not good for the internal components of the machine. Eventually, the steam wand would not work and I would constantly get a message that the beans were too fine and to adjust the grinder. When I called CS, they told me to use the Durgol. Thank goodness they did! After 1 cycle of descaling and dark, dirty deposits, the steam wand was back to normal. Yeah!!!

Durgol Decalcifier Works Like a Charm
Before purchasing Durgol I read through the Amazon custmoer reviews. One person had the same espresso machine as me (Breville Cafe Roma) and the product had worked as promised. Same here. It's great product that unclogged my espresso machine, which now brews the perfect espesso and frothy, steamed milk. The only thing I would recommend is that the instructions indicate only one time through with fresh water after decalifying is necessary. I would suggest at least twice or even three times to get all the Durgol cleaned out, and you'll be amazed at how much stuff will still be coming out of your machine.

Durgol gets the job done!
We first came across this product as a sample included with our coffee machine purchased through Starbucks (we have a de Longhi). This was the easiest de-scale we had ever performed, so have continued to use this product for the past six months on both of our machines. The De Longhi has an automatic sensor that tells us when to descale and we keep at least 2 bottles of Durgol on hand so we are always ready. This has lead to a longer life span for our coffee machines and keeps the coffee free flowing. Try it and see, I am certain you'll never go back to the powders you have to mix...

Jura 7520 Claris Water Care Cartridge



Jura Capresso Overcharge.
This product is so overpriced that the company should be embarrassed. I am sure they are not! No choice, I love the coffeemaker.

Not a perfect fit for the Impressa F9
The Claris filter is manufactured for the Jura Coffemakers, but does not fit the F9 perfectly.
It only has 3 slots to lock in place however the water container comes with 4 blades which should lock into 4 slots.
It still fits, but the clearyl water filter has a better fit.

Rip off, but required
These things are so freakin expensive and my machine makes me change them every 5 - 7 weeks. They work great for not having to. Descale the machine but I can't believe what a rip off they are. I rate them 1 star based on price to value, but as far a how they work, I guess they do what they are designed for,
