From the brand

Our story

How we got our start

Over 65 years ago, Maria Düring-Keller, grandmother of düring's current owners, came up with a highly effective descaling agent while cleaning her house, and the durgol brand was born.

What makes our product unique

Swiss made, durgol is a pioneer in descaling, with proven products that thoroughly remove limescale, without damaging materials and working five to ten times faster than vinegar or citric acid.

Why we love what we do

We pride ourselves on Swiss made dependability, offering efficient cleaning solutions! Providing effective ways to keep homes clean and appliances working is our highest achievement.

From the manufacturer

durgol swiss espresso descaler

Your coffee machine's heart attack is preventable.

Thanks to regular descaling with durgol, you keep your machine healthy and you enjoy your superb quality coffee or espresso for a long time. Here’s what happens inside your machine:

DURGOL

durgol is the only descaler that removes 100% of the limescale and will NOT leave any calcium citrate or calcium lactate build-up behind. Your machine is basically returned to “factory new".

Citric Acid

Citric Acid based products cannot remove 100% of the limescale AND form an extra layer of calcium citrate on top of the remaining limescale! Your machine has begun to fail.

Vinegar

Vinegar stinks up the house and descales very slowly. The coffee will taste like vinegar for a long time. Vinegar turns tubes brittle and porous. Ultimately, they will crack or burst.

limescale

Limescale is the bad cholesterol of coffee machines

Limescale clogs up your coffee machine’s tubes and inner workings just like bad cholesterol clogs up your arteries.
And if that wasn’t bad enough, there’s calcium citrate: It forms when you descale with citric acid based cleaners.
Calcium citrate forms another layer inside your machine that cannot be dissolved by any cleaner (not even durgol)!
You want both gone, for a machine that’s clean and pristine, happily pumping away for years of an active life.

It will help you maintain and enhance the performance of your home kitchen's coffee appliances. This descaler solution is made from sulfamic acid to break up tough buildup and deposits.

It's easy to use durgol Swiss Espresso descaling liquid: simply fill the appliance's water tank and start the decalcification program. If your machine doesn't have a decalcification program, simply add equal parts of descaler liquid and water into the water tank to meet the machine's requirements for starting. Then let the solution run through the hot water dispenser. Do not steam the solution.durgol descaling solutions are developed and manufactured in Switzerland, so you can be confident they meet strict safety and quality standards. Add these professional grade descaling products to your home kitchen supplies so you can be prepared for limescale buildup, calcium deposits, and more.

Why is it so expensive? But it works
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2010
Size: 4.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)Verified Purchase
I have a 10-year-old $35 Krups espresso maker. The tank was coated with 1/4 inch thick lime/calcification... I can only imagine what the inside pipes looked like. I was beginning to think the water wasn't spurting out as fast as it used to, so the espresso grind would be soaked too long and the bitter taste would go into the cup along with the delicious early drips.

So I researched the decalcification options here on Amazon. didn't do outside research, though. Should I spend $13 on decalcifying, or buy a new espresso maker for $45? Tough. I opted to try decalcification. I was sold on using this liquid approach, as opposed to the cheaper powder, since my problem was so extreme. Hard water over 10 years builds up.

I got two bottles with this package, and followed the instructions on the first exactly. Pour it in the tank, add 1 bottle-ful of water to the tank, and then run the espresso cycle. Then rinse a few times. It expressly said NOT to let the solution sit in the tank for any period of time. I noticed that some calcium deposits were left behind. What to do? I still had one more bottle to go, so I pour it in along with the water. This time I let it sit. (Elsewhere in the instructions, it said to leave the solution in items like glass coffeepots, until the bubbling stops.) So I waited till it didn't bubble any more - about 5-10 minutes. Then I ran the espresso maker cycle and rinsed again. This time, the tank was spotless! But...

The downside was that the solution got rid of the huge build-up inside the tank, but I don't know about the bits of piping that lead the water out of the tank into the coffee grinds. I might have let the build-up go too long. Because what happened then was that small bits of the white calcification, about the size of grains of sand, were plugging up some of the tiny holes where the water pours out of the espresso-maker into the coffee grind. I have a feeling that the solution dissolved completely the lime/calcium in the tank, but didn't have enough time in the pipes to fully dissolve those deposits, so some were just dislodged or broken into smaller bits that plugged the holes. They weren't all plugged up, maybe only about 10%, but still. Maybe more would come. What to do? There is a screw on that metal sieve part in my espresso maker, but it was stuck and I only stripped it trying to remove it. So, I decided to just go ahead and use the machine anyway, and it seems to be working fine.

Did the product improve the operation of my espresso maker after I used it? I can't honestly say I've noticed any difference. Certainly the product claims that calcification will affect the operation and efficiency of the espresso maker... I've made espresso from this machine almost every day for the last few years, so I have it down pat. It had at least 1/4 inch of scale, which was fully removed. You'd think I'd notice a difference, but I can't say that I did. Still, it certainly didn't harm anything, and so I'm sure it was good to do.

So, in summary, I would say the product works completely great, but if you have a cheap espresso maker like mine, don't worry about all their cautions. Go ahead and let the solution sit in that tank, and then what I'd do is figure out a way for that solution to run all the way through the pipes and sit for a bit. The instructions caution against letting the solution touch the plastic or other parts of your espresso maker, but it did mine no harm. I wish I had just used the first bottle and let it sit for a long time, sloshing it around and letting the solution sit in all parts of the pipeline, before flushing. Then I'd have the second bottle for next time.

Bottom line: it's expensive, but works.

I had been trying to purchase Descaler and Decalcifier directly from Lavazza for my Lavazza Classy Plus. Either they are out of stock or very high shipping fee. I was worried about using a brand other than the Lazazza brand for a Lavazza machine. I researched a few brands and some of the reviews for other Descaler and Decalcifiers stated that a chemical taste remained after cleaning. Durgol has great reviews and is "unscented". I'm so glad that I took the chance On Durgol Descaler and Decalcifier. I first read the directions on my Lavazza machine then read the directions for the Durgol Descaler and Decalcifier and got to work. There are A Lot of steps but worked step by step perfectly. As soon as the final step was completed the "clean light" went off on my Lavazza machine just as was indicated in the instructions. I highly recommend this product. Fair price, quick shipping and works perfectly!

Easy AND Effective
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2024
Size: 4.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)Verified Purchase
I'm the proud owner of a Dolce Gusto machine and a not-so-proud member of a household where the only one who cares about maintenance of this machine is...me.

So as the only one, I'm down with the easy, and this is pretty much it.

Fortunately the machine had instructions, since the guides for this product are all in German or French. There are pictures for us barbarian English speakers though, but I still wanted to do this right. So in a nutshell, if you have a Dolce Gusto, here you go:

One bottle of this stuff in the water tank (one measure)
Four measures (.5 L) into the water tank (I just use the empty bottle)
Follow the rest of the instructions on the machine.

That's...it. Start to finish about fifteen minutes, and my espressos are coming out much better now. The flow is much improved and I'm very happy with this. It's also given me an opportunity to learn some German, so there's an educational aspect to this product.

Really, it works great. I'm more confident in this than I am with some home formula that someone posted on Reddit. Just do it.
