I ran a cleaning cycle and two descale cycles on my espresso maker
Ran out of cleaning tablets otherwise I would have done two of those as well.

You can use citric acid too, or at least I did
Lactic acid is a no no though apparently
And sulphuric is right out.
Oh… I guess I’ll just put away my HCl, HNO3, HF and other goodies.
Citric acid works great for this. A $10 bag will last the rest of your machine’s life, and there’s no weird aftertaste like can sometimes happen with vinegar.
I've always used vinegar to descale my coffee machine.
Espresso maker? Living close to edge aren't you sport.
As long as your coffee mug still has 10+ years of black tar in it.
Its called seasoning
You can get citric acid at most brew/winemaking stores that works fine.
