Tassimo
Best descaler for Tassimo machines
For Tassimo machines (Vivy 2, Happy, Style, My Way), the recommended descaler is Bosch Tassimo Descaling Tablets (TCZ6004). Below are cheaper universal options that work too, how often to descale, and a quick step-by-step. Tassimo machines use descaling tablets dissolved in water; the orange service T-Disc triggers the cycle. Don't skip the rinse.
How to descale a Tassimo machine
1. Empty and prepare
Empty the drip tray and water tank, and remove any water filter.
2. Mix the descaler
Add the descaling tablet(s) to fresh water in the tank at the stated dilution.
3. Run the descale cycle
Start your Tassimo machine's descaling programme and let it run fully.
4. Rinse thoroughly
Run two or three tanks of clean water through to flush all descaler residue before your next drink.
