In short: Small descaling (chemical, no disassembly) for regularly serviced, normally scaled machines. Large descaling (full disassembly, all parts in acid and ultrasonic bath, reassembly, without maintenance) when chemical descaling is no longer enough. Full maintenance (maintenance package) for brew group, gasket, valves, pressure and temperature — descaling as an option. Descaling and maintenance are separate services that you can combine in one order.

Which one fits?
- Serviced and descaled regularly, nothing unusual? Usually the small descaling — alone or with the package.
- Scale crust visible in the sight glass, or not descaled for a long time? The large descaling.
- Last service long ago, brew group and gasket due? The full maintenance, with small or large descaling as an option.
- Not sure? We recommend after inspection; you decide. If you don't know what's wrong at all: diagnosis €49, then a quote; credited when you place the order.
Always by quote and only after your approval: solenoid valve, pump (vibration or rotary), brew head gasket/shower screen and pressure adjustment (both included in the package), heating element, thermostat, pressure switch, pressure gauge. Drop-off in Oranienburg (Am Dorfanger 6, by appointment) or pickup and return for €50 per trip. We currently do not accept Sage machines (Breville). The booking portal is in German.
