I know that these are supposedly a bear to descale, so how about a water
softener? Would that eliminate the need, or just extend the time
between descalings?
Or can you just say 'screw it' and try to do it the same way you do in a
single boiler machine?

I am a strong believer of putting good water into the machine. I have
had my Astra Gourmet for 3 years. Our city water has 7 grains of
hardness. I use the softener setup on ChrisCoffee. My gasket between
the boiler and heating element went bad the other day. When I replaced
it I was curious if I would have any scale in the boiler--absolutely no
scale!

That's the softener I'm looking at.

It's not a bear if you have a hot water spout on the machine. The Insanely
Long Water FAQ gives detailed instructions. I find it pretty simple, but I
have a hot water tap on the Giotto.
