Hi
I got a second hand dolce gusto jovia machine for free. I’ve done the clean and descale but I’m still getting lots of lime scale and black bits coming out . What am I doing wrong?

I would clean and descale again. Maybe the previous owner never bothered and there's a build up inside.

Keep descaling, I use vinegar in my Nespresso

How do you descale the dolce gusto, I've never done it either

Thanks :) I will do another cycle in the morning of both the clean and descale. I’ve already done litres of water on the descale but may need another go with the solution.

Thank you

I always use a capful of white vinegar with a full water tank and run it into a jug until the water tank is empty.
Then run a tank of water through into a jug after.
It gets rid of all the scale in one go.
