Can I clean my coffee machine with regular cleaning products?

No, always use cleaning agents and descaling agents specifically designed for coffee machines. Regular cleaning agents can damage components, leave residue, and affect the taste of the coffee. Rinse thoroughly with water after each cleaning process.
