Right cut a long story short...I have recommended a friend of mine (and owner of my old Krups) to buy some Cafetto to clean his machine.
Hes spoken to someone who services coffee appliances and he was told that cafetto is a rip off and all it is is a mild citric acid, which he can get from a supermarket, and hes now feeling sore because he now feels cheated paying $20 for some Cafetto... The service guy also recommended he soak his pressurised basket in a 1/6 solution of diluted White King bleach.
It all sounds a bit suss to me, for one I wouldnt feel comfortable with having bleach in my filter basket...even after a good rinsing.
Secondly, Cafetto must be more than just citric acid yeah? Can anyone help provide some answers on why he should be using/buying cafetto rather than citric acid?
