catbird 44 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Anyone seen citric acid descaler to clean coffee makers and distillers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ibbocat 105 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 No but it's a type of Vitamin C and you can buy those tablets in Walmart, might be worth a try? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sayaca 15 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 white vinegar also does the trick... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spacedebris 22 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 I think that you can find ácido cítrico at the grainery next to Gossips on the carretera--if you don't see it ask, they are very helpful. It is very inexpensive in bulk. I usually buy it by the kilo at the Abastos. As for the vinegar, it also works but some coffee maker manufacturers do not recommend it as a cleaner. I can't say if it damages anything since I have used both and the results seem similar. I think the citric acid is easier to rinse out without leaving a smell or taste.

mudgirl 2,515 Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Friend of mine used to clean his thermos by filling it with water and dropping in a Polident tablet. Dissolved all the crud, but can't say if it would be safe for a coffee maker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
