I come back to this video every time mines needs a descale Thank you

[@Jaffabite]

A ha, a repeat customet that's what I like to hear 😁. Thanks for your comment.

[@EduardBP]

You should be getting paid for this, this is the sort of video Bosch should be making instead of the manuals nobody is reading. Thank you sir!

[@thecollector7250]

Bosch has a terrible video re descaling… This video was much better….. Tassimo’s are no longer sold in the USA.. but I’ll keep mine

[@Jaffabite]

Thanks for the comment 👍👍

[@ketoman78]

You can use bicarbonate of soda instead. I've done mine this way, saving couple quid or so. And it worked perfectly well. Bicarbonate of soda is actually for that. I've added a good amount to the water (like 4-5 big spoons) and started the process with that. My Tassimo is quite happy since than.

[@ronaldparry6147]

Wish I'd seen this comment before ordering a bunch of descaling tablets online! I'll know for next time haha!

[@gamer-by2tx]

@@ronaldparry6147 it really does work because I cleaned my dolic gusto with bicarbonate soda and it came up lovely after cleaning alot of cloudy water out of it... good job. Handy tip but I felt my tassimo deserved a proper service but know this for emergancy cleaning for the future

[@aquarian3]

Very clear instructions thank you 😊. I don’t know why Bosch put in that stupid leaflet with numbered diagrams that are no help whatsoever, if you’re not going to be helpful then save your company money by not printing them to start with, just pop a message in each box to go to a KZbin video, preferably this one!

[@Jaffabite]

That's really kind of you to say, thank you. 👍😊

[@gianfi63]

Totally agree with previous reviewer ... No nonsense description of the actions to be taken. Bosch leaflet is useless, and the video they produced, although better, has fancy music, and no voiceover, which leaves you unaware of exactly what should happen (example the different noise the machine makes while cleaning). The irony is you give your advice for free, whereas somebody in Bosch Communications Dept will be paid hefty salaries to come up with less than ideal information... Oh well...Well done to you, Sir!

[@saralouise2453]

I'm glad to have found this video! The instruction leaflet that comes with the Tassimo is not the most informative. I hate silly little numbered diagrams 🙄 much prefer clear simple video instructions like this one 😊 Thankyou!

[@willienelsongonzalez4609]

Thanks for vid, much appreciated! I live in Scotland where we generally have soft water. I’ve got the same Bosch coffee maker and it does a good cup of coffee. I’m surprised that the red light has come on the machine that I’ve purchased. We don’t have a problem with “hard water” which makes me think that these companies force you to buy these cleaning tablets. Not meant to sound like a wild conspiracy as the machine gets cleaned at least once a week. That said, I will purchase some tablets as I don’t want the machine to get blocked. Good vid though! Thank you!

[@Jaffabite]

No problem and thanks for your comment. You could try shopping around for the tablets as there are lots of non-branded ones available which will help save a few quid. Ebay would be a good start 👍😁

[@stonestreaker]

I have just had the red light come on for the first time and have come here for advice. I'm in Yorkshire and never get scale on anything so did a dummy descaling with plain water and sure enough the light has gone out. Clearly there is no sensor, just a cycle counter that turns the light on. My Bullshit meter has gone into the red zone too now!

[@elenabob4953]

Thanks for the help. My took 20 min to do the first cycle. PS. I will steal your idea with the eyes put on the machine :).

Glad to have helped. And yes go for the Googley eyes it makes the coffee taste so much nicer 🤣 👁👁

Thanks for the video. I've only had my machine for about 2 months and it's already complining about needing a descale. I must live in a much harder water area then I thought, or the machine is very sensetive to it.

[@Jaffabite]

No problem. You could think about filtering the water first but the cost of that may not out weigh the cost of the descaling tablets.

[@pinchopaxtonsgreatestminds9591]

I use boiled water mixed with cold water in a jug, and allow just one tablet to dissolve for a few seconds then tip it into the coffee machine water tank. Then run the cleaning process. It works in hard water areas like that, so saves a tablet.

[@telwood15]

I use one descale tablet used in dishwaher etec. from a well know supermarket . A box of them works out much cheaper in the long run and works ok.

[@niamhmooney1259]

Tried holding the button down 5 and 20 seconds but to no avail. I'm trying on behalf of my mother who said the descaling symbol has been flashing red for over a month but she didn't know what to do. Maybe it's too late and we need a new one but I'll give it a few goes. Cheers

See the yellow cleaning thingy disc how often do you have to replace them please ? Also is it the middle button you press to descale or the last one ?

[@Jaffabite]

The yellow disc doesn't need replacing unless it stops working. Its use is only to let the machine know to dispense hot water and isn't like the pods which need disposing or recycling. Regarding the button, although it looks like it is more than one it is infact just one long button. Anywhere you push on it activates the same button/function. I hope that helps 🙂

Could you just use a few teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda instead of the tablets do u think?

[@Jaffabite]

I'm no expert on alternatives to the tablets so I couldn't really comment. One thing to bear in mind is that completing the descaling process resets the red light so you won't know if it has done the job well or not. If you have an ordinary kettle maybe try the bicarbonate on that to see how effective it is??
