Limescale deposits inside can clog pipes, impair the brewing unit, and even lead to defects. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"385\" data-end=\"670\">Tap water contains varying amounts of limescale depending on the region. This builds up in the machine over time. Without descaling, not only does energy consumption increase, but the risk of damage to the heating system also increases. Furthermore, the taste of the coffee can be negatively affected.   <\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][nectar_cta btn_style=&#8221;see-through&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;h5&#8243; button_color=&#8221;default&#8221;
