Over 90 coffee enthusiasts tested – these are the key findings

More than 80% of coffee lovers use a fully automatic coffee machine – and have found that limescale, coffee oils, and grounds residue significantly impair the enjoyment. Only thorough cleaning brings out the full range of aromas.

Good care is not a single step

Over three-quarters of the participants already knew that descaling and cleaning are two different processes. However, the test impressively demonstrated that only the combination of both steps ensures optimal results.

Proper descaling enhances the coffee experience.

With 84% very satisfied reviews, the special descaler achieved an impressive result. Over half confirmed: "The coffee tastes better." At the same time, the machine ran noticeably quieter after descaling.

Simplicity scores points

The effortless, simple application received top marks from the participants. A clear indication that skincare doesn't have to be a complicated ritual – but can easily fit into one's routine.

Cleaning tablets ensure clarity

The vast majority of respondents were also extremely satisfied with the cleaning tablets. Testers described the taste after cleaning as "clearer" and "more balanced".

Recommendation based on conviction

The enthusiasm for both products is clearly reflected in the recommendation rates: 95% for the durgol swiss espresso descaler and 90% for the durgol cleaning tablets. This result shows that the care duo delivers on its promises.

Care is part of coffee culture

Those who appreciate good coffee don't just think about the beans or the roast. The test made it clear: The machine is part of the culture – and deserves the same attention as the preparation itself.

A quiet but crucial contribution

Limescale, coffee oils, and residues build up deep inside the pipes – and impair the taste. This care duo of special descaler and cleaning tablets works right where the coffee is made: inside the machine. Thorough in its effect, gentle on the materials – and therefore a quiet but indispensable companion on the way to perfect coffee enjoyment.
