Founded as Royal Urn Bag Company in Manhattan in 1936, Urnex started creating powerful bagged cleaning products for coffee urns. Their motto "No More Bitter Coffee" prevailed and they eventually developed specialty cleaning products to prolong the life of your coffee equipment. The build-up of mineral scale is a threat to the performance and durability of coffee and espresso machines. Mineral scale build-up can impact your machine’s boiler, preventing water from reaching its optimal brewing temperature. At insufficient temperatures, it is impossible to extract the full flavor from your coffee. Mineral scale build-up can also clog water flow, and if not removed, can cause a machine to stop working. Descaling removes the mineral scale build-up that forms on the heating element of all coffee equipment. Dezcal Descaling Powder is odor free and rinses away thoroughly, unlike vinegar which can be difficult to rinse, takes longer to be effective and leaves behind an unpleasant odor and aftertaste that affects the aroma and taste of your coffee. Effectively breaks down limescale for better tasting coffee and more consistence machine performance. Descaling removes mineral scale that builds up on the heating element of every coffee maker. Also effectively descales hot water tanks and boilers, as well as faucets and sprayheads. Formulated from biodegradable, odorless and phosphate free ingredients.
