I know senseo machines are not the same as regular coffee machines, but in our regular coffee machine, we always run plain white vinegar through it, followed by running a couple batches of water through it to clean it out thoroughly. That usually works well for us.

take vinegar and mix about 1 cup of vinegar in with the water that is in the coffee pot(where coffee goes after its brewed)pour it in where you normally put in the water and run it thru like you would with coffee. Once that is done, run a few pots of water thru to make sure all the vinegar has been removed. If that doesnt help, get some limescale cleaner to try.

Use 7% white vinegar. Run it through several times. PREHEAT the vinegar before you run it through. After that, run tap water through a few times and a throw-away-batch of strong coffee.

I use this on my dishwasher...I don't know if it would work on coffemakers.... I use sweetened/unsweeted drink mix.. Tea,kool-aid whatever... The citric acid in the mix takes out the residue and since it's not a harsh/poisonous chemical it won't harm you... Just run a cycle or 2 of plain water through in case it tastes like kool-aid

Try descaling it again. It may have had alot of buildup and if you dont remove it completely the taste will linger!!

Try making something like Nescafe in a cup or mug.
