Got the tassimo my way in 2021….thought it would be for occasional use but is being used daily! Thanks for the video; last time I cleaned it still showed up with the red calc sign. Now it’s 👌
*This replaced a smaller Keurig that I owned for 6 years **MyBest.Kitchen** I wanted the convenience of the water receptacle and while this unit is much larger than the previous one, I'm very happy with my purchase. The only downside to this larger model is having to move it from under the cabinets to place the pod and refill it. I was able to rectify this by purchasing glide mats for small appliances. Now, it's perfect!*
Hi, a complete novice to the Tassimo 'club' but got the booklet that came with my JOY coffee machine, and it left me a bit bewildered as to what group to run with. Made a complete pig's ear of it, so decided to look at eBay for some guidance. Yippee someone that spoke in layman's term's and has just opened up my coffee experience. Thank you Thank youu Thank youuu!
Since I had my Tassimo myway2 used over by December 2022 - August 2023 which it is over by 9 months, I noticed that the CALC Light was flashing and so then afterwards I bought some of the BOSCH Descaling Tablets to help solve that problem and then I got my jug filled it will 500ml of water and plonked 2x Bosch tablets into the jug, leave them to do there disappearing act lol 😆, Then once there gone I poured the Descaling Water into the tank where I see the CALC Fill Line and then afterwards I put the tank in the machine and held the button to 5secs instead of just once as the myway2 goes into a (Descaling Mode) after like 25mins of it chugging and pouring out the Descaling water into the jug, once I really gave the jug a really really good rinse through and so as the myway2's water tank really gave them a good rinse 3x times to get rid of that Descaling residue of the tablets, afterwards I rinsed the machine throughout the clean water 5x time to ensure that the descaling water is fully out of the myway2's pipes from the inside, Once that's done the CALC light light is gone off, my tassimo myway2 is happy again and time for more lattes and coffees on the machine once again 😊 🎉🎉🎉.
Hi great video thanks. I don’t need to descale my coffee maker as I live in a soft water area. So can I skip the descaling and just do the cleaning cycle or will the calc light keep coming on.
I think the descaling is worked on actual number of drinks you poor, which is usually I think 300. After that it will want to be descaled what you could do is put the Diskin hold the button for three seconds and let it run through a descaling process, but you don’t need to add any de-scaler in to the tank. Therefore you won’t have to rinse it afterwards that will reset the Machine will be happy for another 300 drinks.
That valve is magnet , to remove the filter , remove the lid and pull out the filter and associated plastic , you can use citric acid , or white vinegar to to descale the machine , had to mine recently which is odd as the previous tassimo I had didn’t need a filter or descaling in over eight years , I do live in soft water area .
Very informative and helpful. You tell us the Bosch descaling tablets are expensive. Quelle surprise! Rather like HP printer inks, it's a rip-off in my opinion. So, make it a cheaper experience: fill your jug with 250 mil of white vinnegar; add 250 mil of filtered water. Off you go with the descaling routine.....It's a similar routine to our washing machine where, Calgon tablets are a huge rip-off, and where I substitute them with a run through descale with a small bottle of white vinnegar on an ordinary washing cycle....
Hello, Do we have any other substance that can be used in place of the tablets? There isn't ones sold in my country and I have to wait a few weeks for the order to arrive. I just want to do the descale process immediately. Can't seem to wait until it arrive.
I am planning on getting this machine where I will be using it 6/7 days a week every morning and possibly the afternoon, Is descaling it every week too excessive even if it is not needed or would every two weeks be better?
Hello Paul. I have followed your steps, but the red light is still on after three times descale even on different days as well! What do you think I should do next?
@@mgtracey Not really! I have assumed that the process takes a maximum of five to 10 Min. So I've not expected it to be 20 Min. at all. I'll try to do that again and also let you know a little bit shortly after. Cheers
Two options just dont replace the filter leave the tank empty of it. Or if you wiggle the black lid to the right angle it comes off which allows you to reove the remaining clear plastic water filter housing inside the tank - Paul
How long on average does the machine go until De scaling again? I don’t seem to get that many cycles until I have to descale again. Our water supply is already softened before it gets to the machine anyway …….
Any tips, mine has told me to descale but it won’t let me? Lights flashing try to make a coffee as soon as I close lid lights go red? Tried to clean wasted so many tablets. Out of guarantee so if I can’t repair looks like a new one .. unless you know differently?
Hello Paul welcome back with the Tassimo videos been missing these videos so much and love the Tassimo my way machine. I got my one for around £60 on Amazon at the time. I use mine mainly for Chai Latte, Hot Chocolate and using Creamers to top up my tea. May I ask what your most popular drinks are for the machine?
I like te Baileys coffee, and the latest Cadbury hot chocolate. Ive got a wall of machine to review over the next few weeks. Having young twins here keeps us busy !!
A lot of UA-camrs do suggest white vinegar but it invalidates your Bosch warranty and in my experience can leave an aftertaste in the coffee stick to the Tassimo descaling tablets to be safe
Hi mate, i am about to descale my MyWay tassimo for the first time. Ive used to have an older tassimo and it say to remove the filter section before you descale. I went to do this on my myway machine but the bit it sits in does not come out due the lid but i see you don't have yours in. Is there a way of getting it out?
It drove me bonkers so I moved the lid over and eased it out. MYWAY1 never had it nor needed it. You still have to descale. Waste of money marketing ploy

Great to hear!
Much better instructions then one of the other tape
Thank you so much, couldn't find my manual and calc light came on. Thanks to you I now have it all sorted and can enjoy a lovely cup of coffee. ☕🎉😃
Really glad to have helped have a great day
I'm about to descale my Myway2 for the first time, this video has been so helpful, thank you! :)
Love your video but I think that you will find that to start the descaling process you can press the Calc button for 3 seconds 🌻
Don't think his machine has a calc button. I have the same machine, and it only has the 1 button

Thank you for this. Just descaled my Tassimo and this video made it nice and simple
Thanks glad it helped.
Great watch! Just run this clean through my machine, so needed it…. Thank you

hello, do you think that by using vinegar instead of tablets the 'calc' red light would stop blinking?
Great advice,saved soo much time.
Glad it helped
Hello,
Do we have any other substance that can be used in place of the tablets?
There isn't ones sold in my country and I have to wait a few weeks for the order to arrive.
I just want to do the descale process immediately. Can't seem to wait until it arrive.
Yes, any descaling liquid would be fine. Just make sure you follow the instructions on the bottle. This is one I found on Amazon: amzn.to/3TnsllK
Thank you. Perfectly informative and very clear.
I'm enjoying your videos. Thank you.
Thanks 🙏
Thanks for the video, I can't believe I bought the official tablets from Bosch and they don't include instructions .. 🤷🏼♂️
Glad I could help!
I have just bought the Tassimo my way 2, how do u get a full mug of hot water?
Thank you, this was very helpful. Xx
Glad it was helpful!
I am planning on getting this machine where I will be using it 6/7 days a week every morning and possibly the afternoon, Is descaling it every week too excessive even if it is not needed or would every two weeks be better?
Descaling once a month will be fine
Hi good review , very much helped me. So glad I watched your channel. Cheers.
Great video definitely helped me
Brilliant video. Thank you. Now I can have a cuppa👍😀
Enjoy!
Hello Paul. I have followed your steps, but the red light is still on after three times descale even on different days as well! What do you think I should do next?
Did the descaling process actually take 20 minutes to pull the cleaning water through the tank ?
@@mgtracey Not really! I have assumed that the process takes a maximum of five to 10 Min. So I've not expected it to be 20 Min. at all. I'll try to do that again and also let you know a little bit shortly after. Cheers
Thanks great instructive video!
Thanks for the video. Very useful!
Glad it was helpful!
What other tablets could I get as the bosh ones are very expensive. If there a generic brand
Most supermarkets have their own brand of descaled. Following there instructions very carefully .
Very helpful. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Brilliant, thank you!
You're very welcome!
Hi, what do I do if my water tank has a build in water filter?!
Two options just dont replace the filter leave the tank empty of it. Or if you wiggle the black lid to the right angle it comes off which allows you to reove the remaining clear plastic water filter housing inside the tank - Paul
@@mgtracey Hi Paul thanks for getting back to me. I got the filter out and followed ya vid. My Tassimo is now officially descaled. Thanks
Tracy can I use oust descaler for my Tassimo machine
Yes that's fine. Key is making sure you have rinsed everything through before remaking coffees!!
How long on average does the machine go until De scaling again? I don’t seem to get that many cycles until I have to descale again. Our water supply is already softened before it gets to the machine anyway …….
I think it’s fixed at about 300 cups. Nothing Scientific about it. Run the cleaning cycle just with water to clear the red light .
@@mgtracey …. Okay thanks
Any tips, mine has told me to descale but it won’t let me? Lights flashing try to make a coffee as soon as I close lid lights go red? Tried to clean wasted so many tablets. Out of guarantee so if I can’t repair looks like a new one .. unless you know differently?
Thank you so much xxx
Glad to help
Merciiiii !
Cool video straight to the point, cheers
Great video. Have you seen & tried the new eco pods allowing you to use any ground coffee and avoiding all those wasted pods ?
Not yet! Im not aware of them for the Tassimo system, for Nespresso yes there great.

Glad you liked it!
I've rinsed once and nothings happening just making sound..no water coming out?
Refill the tank and redock it . Make sure tank is correctly fitted .
Thanks 👍
How do I get Starbucks drinks for tassimo
It was discontinued and Starbucks made their own system. replaced by Costa Coffee
Can we use vinegar instead?
A lot of UA-camrs do suggest white vinegar but it invalidates your Bosch warranty and in my experience can leave an aftertaste in the coffee stick to the Tassimo descaling tablets to be safe
Thank you for this advice!
Hi mate, i am about to descale my MyWay tassimo for the first time. Ive used to have an older tassimo and it say to remove the filter section before you descale. I went to do this on my myway machine but the bit it sits in does not come out due the lid but i see you don't have yours in. Is there a way of getting it out?
After decalcing I have a problem. No steam and cafee is cold. Where can be problem?
Now that doesnt sound good. Run a cleaning cycle,not a descale again, turn off and at mains and try that.
Great video so helpful as the tassimo instructions are terrible!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi where can I buy the tablet to clean?
amazon.com amzn.to/3V9bHW4 or amazon.co.uk amzn.to/3MdUOFw
How do I get the lid off the machine?
Pull upright then gentle move it off to remove the filter casing.
Don't think you said to use hot or cold water , so I went with cold
Always cold water 💦
I noticed you didn't have filter in water tank
It drove me bonkers so I moved the lid over and eased it out. MYWAY1 never had it nor needed it. You still have to descale. Waste of money marketing ploy
just use vinegar😂
If can alter the taste, also invalidates Bosch warranty.
@@mgtraceyno taste. warranty? how they going to.check that??? lol. this machine costs 30eur. They just going to replace it.
