@brownedirt Yeah, I don't really have the time to cross reference all 400-odd of our videos these days so you'll just need to use the power of search! :) - Kat

Might I suggest that cross-reference your related videos in all clips? The maintenance clip includes urls to descaling and back flushing; it'd be handy to have urls in all places. Thanks!

@damndoggy Yes- definitely - Kat

do you remove the in-tank water softener before descaling Silvia?

one more thing, Gail said if you use a chrome spoon (to mix) that the descaling liquid will "etch" it, aren't most portafilters made of chrome plated brass?

@TheEspressoKid If she said chrome, I think she meant stainless steel; that's where we have seen the discoloration - Kat

So I see that when you are running water through the brew head that you have the portafilter in, is that important to do? Can I run water through the brew head without the portafilter?
thanks!

@TheEspressoKid Either or will work, really; if you have harder water, you might notice some scale buildup in the basket or PF, but commonly you don't. It's your choice. - Kat
