Can this be used with a DeLonghi automatic machine (Magnifica)? The manufacturer provided a liquid descaler sample rather than tablets.

I have two of these machines (one at vacation home.) I dissolve 3 tablets in the water chamber and it's good to go. When my first machine was in for service (after 8 years), I asked the technician to check for calcification. He said it was good. So, I continued to use these for both machines.

Jura brew group is not easily removed for cleaning. With the Magnifica you can just snap it out and clean. You shouldn't need these for a Magnifica.

I am not sure. The tablet goes in where the espresso coffee normally would go so if you have a machine like that you probably would be ok. i would go on the manufacturer website and look if they have something similar for your machine and if they do then you could order these

Cafiza is a cleaning tablet just for in between de calcifying, I suggest durgol agent for that process also available on amazon for a really good price, in my humble opinion I would use both to keep the life of your espresso machine long.

There are tablets and liquid decalcifiers. Saeco sells them on their site or if you're near a Bed Bath Beyond they usually carry bottles of Durgol Swiss which I prefer. The machine's cleaning menu will instruct you on how to descale. It's very easy and important to do! Although I don't use an AquaPrimer filter, I have filtered water throughout my home and still descale once per month.

I suppose if you were mechanically inclined and had some time on your hands, it could be done. Say for instance, you really like the breville type steam wand. Order the part from breville, then take your delonghi apart and see how its attached. Then head down to your local hardware store and piece together a bunch of parts that would make it work. In the end, it'll look like a mythbusters experiment, but with enough determination I think it just might work. I mean, I'm not gonna try it, but go ahead!

A local place that sells espresso machines recommends it, specifically including Rancilio Silvia.http://blog.seattlecoffeegear.com/2014/01/07/descale-rancilio-silvia/

My machine is a semiautomatic machine so I can't provide a specific recommendation for your machine. On the Durgol box, it states that it can be used for espresso machines "working with coffee pads or capsules."

Absolutely yes. I have used these with a Jura Capresso and a Kreps machine and they work great. Because they are smaller than the recommended tablets that the machine manufacturers push you have to use 2 or 3 tablets but the ingredients are identical and the cost is less than half.

I have a different Delonghi espresso machine and it fits fine. It has 2 different sized ends, and I use both ends on my different espresso machine filters.

You might not be able to tell that the machine needs descaling until it's too late. I ruined my first Gaggia by not descaling. If the flow starts getting slow it might be a sign of mineral build up. It's best to descale regularly to avoid that. How frequently to descale depends on the hardness (mineral content) of your water. The Gaggia UK site says every 2 months, my Gaggia manual says every 3 - 4 months. We have soft water (from a reservoir) and I use a Brita filter (which doesn't remove the minerals, I don't think) and I descale every 2 to 3 months. And yes it is safe to use on Silvia and all coffee makers. Hope you're enjoying your Silvia. You might not be able to tell that the machine needs descaling until it's too late.

Yes, it does. Interestingly my first 'sample' that came with the DeLonghi machine I purchased came with a Durgol sample (even though the instructions say to only use the DeLonghi brand?) Both seem to work fine. Been using both for over a year and a half with no problems.

No. The machine must be designed to use iperEspresso capsules. Illy makes machines and so does Cusinart now.

Don't use it!! Seriously, it is for professional equipment only - I ruined my lovely new DeLonghi coffee maker with this stuff .... Return it for Urnex tabz instead or just use white vinegar and water! Hope this helps ;)

Absolutely! Dolce Gusto capsules are the ones designed for your Delongi machine. Enjoy !

That is the tablet I use. The machine requires cleaning, and will let you know, after every 200 cups. The tablets work great. I also use the Jura descaling tablets instead of the filter option due to the hardness of my water. I've never had a problem with our Jura yet. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry I do not know how to answer the question. If you are asking if you can use the solution in another machine, then I'm sure on the back of the bottle it would be able to answer your question.

Not quite sure Durgol does a decent job on Gaggia. That's what I have and used Durgol now my machine doesn't foam very any more...

Take 36 oz. of warm water, mix 4 level tablespoons of Dezcal powder to the water. Stir until the powder is completely dissolved. Pour this water into your machine tank and "brew" four 12 oz. cups of water through the machine, then rinse out your water tank. Add clean water to the tank and flush "brew" four 12 oz. cups. The recipe for using Dezcal is about 1 oz. powder (2 Tablespoons) to 16 oz. of water to make a descaling solution. This is a professional product designed for pro espresso machines, etc. However, if you follow the directions I gave you, it is the equivalent of Urnex's consumer line of descaler.

Yes. Having said that, I deeply regret buying this machine. It leaks like crazy. It is impossible to keep clean. And the brew group, omc eremoved for cleaning, is almost impossible to re-install. I have a DeLonghi at home and have none of these problems.
