You can try to CLR cleaner. I use it all the time and it won't affect the taste of the coffee. Or you can try a 1/2 cup water and 1 tbsp. of lime juice. It works as a natural cleaner.
Or as many others would say, 1 part vinegar and 1 part water.
Myself
50/50 vinegar and water. Do not run soap at all, your espresso will taste like ***. Just run the 50/50 mix like your brewing espresso, then run it one or two more times with water. You should be set after that.
*btw nothing but the vinegar and water should going through the machine...no espresso beans. Just incase you didn't get that.
been there done that
