You can use citric acid too, or at least I did
Lactic acid is a no no though apparently

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.

You can get citric acid at most brew/winemaking stores that works fine.
