How often do I have to service my Olympia Express Espresso Machine?

Depending on the hardness of your water, we suggest descaling your espresso machine 1-2 times per year. It is important that you only use a commercially available liquid decalcifying solution (e.g. Durgol). Please do not use vinegar or powder.

For very hard water, we suggest using a table water filter. This removes the carbonate hardness (lime) and therefore the espresso can develop its full flavour.
