In some espresso makers today, there are filters that filter out the limescale automatically. This means that you do not have to worry about accumulations and should only change the filter when it is old. But if you don't, you have to do it yourself. One of the most common tricks is to use vinegar spirit, which can be found in your local grocery store.
- Empty the tank of remaining water and loose lime
- Pour in 1 part vinegar spirit and 5-6 parts water
- Run through the machine once, like you do when brewing espresso.
- Next, empty the tank and run the machine 2-3 times with normal water so that the taste of the vinegar disappears.
An espresso machine can last for decades if properly maintained. As long as it's made with good quality and you take care of the machine, it's going to last a long time. However, if you do not bother to maintain it, it will last a shorter time, and the same applies if you buy an espresso machine with poor quality.
Espresso machines come in many different shapes and forms, and not least in different price ranges. Which one you buy depends on your budget and preferences. How well the espresso machines work, how easy they are to clean and how long they last are all things that affect the purchase decision.

An espresso machine is simply a machine that makes espresso. Espresso is, in short, a strong coffee brewing method. It is about 3-4 centilitres of very strong coffee covered in cellulose and fats, and the latter is named crema in Italy, among others.
