A 2-5 lb. of citric acid from Amazon will last you forever for all your coffee and espresso machines. It's the primary ingredient in all of these descalers.

Very true. They sell $0.25 worth of citric acid solution for $10 and people have no idea.
You can also use it to flush on demand hot water heaters. Those concentrated solutions are $20 at the hardware are just as obscenely overpriced.

Exactly. I've been using citric acid for cleaning my Moccamasters and my superautomatic. Works great.
Also, I found liquid descaler in the Dollar Tree for $1.25/bottle. SDS sheets lists ingredients identical to Urnex or similar.

How much do you use and how do you use it? Mix with water?

A 50/50 mix of white vinegar and distilled water works fine.
Distilled is probably optional, but I use it.
Vinegar is very good for removing lime scale. But it will deteriorate rubber seals and some metals. Also some boilers might absorb the odor / taste of vinegar. Also vinegar contains no surfactants to remove coffee residue. I would stick to urnex dezcal or citric acid.

Depends on the machine you're using it on.
For a Moccamaster drip maker I use 3 full tablespoons dissolved in about a quart of warm water. Pour it in. Start the coffee maker let half brew through and shut it off for 30 minutes. Let the remainder brew through and flush with 2-3 carafes of fresh water.
