Yeah, it's more about the fact that my wife doesn't like running vinegar through because she swears you can still taste it later. A year's worth of the liquid coffee pot descaler costs as much as a new pot. Looking on amazon, it does look like you can get little powder packets affordably though, so I might look into that.
It's not always because of scale though, if you break a carafe, a replacement costs as much as a whole new pot. If the little spring in the basket that interacts with the carafe breaks, there didn't used to be a replacement, but looks like amazon carries a generic now.
