Limescale is what most machines die of, and vinegar attacks the seals. A liquid descaler declared suitable for espresso machines does the same job as the maker’s own branded fluid, usually for less.

Sage's cleaning powder for backflushing the group head, in single-dose sachets. On daily use Sage recommends a flush every 2 to 4 weeks.
What to look out for
Backflushing removes rancid coffee oil from the group head, where a brush cannot reach. For a machine used daily at home Sage recommends a flush every 2 to 4 weeks, and its own cleaner for the best results.
Despite what some shops call it, these are not tablets but powder in 5 gram sachets, one per flush. It also comes in a pack of 12.
