Just my TWO CENTS:
Expensive to use? Bitter taste after usage? Not Recommended by OEM's? Use lemon juice? Maybe it's just me, but I really don't get it!
Unless you're using your machine commercially to make hundreds of shots per week, you're wasting your money, not to mention killing your machine by decalcifying constantly. I have nearly 6,000 shots (!) on my one year-old Saeco Incanto Sirius machine and I just finished my FIRST 3-package Cleancaf box. In all this time, the machine has only prompted me to decalcify ONCE. It bases this on a water pH test you perform at the time of new machine commissioning and the coresponding water hardness setting of the machine resulting from the set-up test. I ignore the prompt and just decalc every THREE months or so (i.e, like the package instructions recommend, LOL!) I've never noticed a decrease in water flow (during coffee or steam/hot water wand usage), nor has there been any decrease in coffee temperature. FWIW, I fill the machine reservoir (I have spare reservoir that I use for decalcifying only) all the way up with warm water and one packet of Cleancaf...it has a two-litre capacity. Then I rinse with TWO reservoirs full of clean warm water. It DOES take a while....the machine is next to the sink, so I aim the wand at the drain, let the thing go and walk away to do other things. I NEVER have an issue with taste after cleaning and I am anal about coffee taste, freshness and machine cleanliness. FWIW, the machine uses the Aqua Prima in-reservoir micropore and charcoal filter, and I use supermarket-brand spring water (loaded with mineral and micro-organisms, LOL) in the one-gallon jug (lots of them, with the amt. of espresso I brew, LOL!).
For those of you thinking of using a non-authorized acidic solution (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) for decalcifying, think again. SAECO USA as well as Whole Latte Love (authorized SAECO sales/service) will tell you to use SAECO Dezcal (it's also made by Urnex)or Urnex Cleancaf ONLY for decalcification. They're non-toxic, bio-degradeable, chelation-process cleaners (Dezcal is weak sulfonic acid, Cleancaf is classified "non-hazardous" per their respective MSDS hazardous sheets). If you use lemon juice or white vinegar you will very likely cause water circuit damage and VOID your warrantee. Don't believe me, call the manufacturer and ask yourself...it's in the owner's manual as well. BTW, most Starbucks Barrista espresso machines are OEM'ed by SAECO in Bologna, Italia.
My machine has been in to the local factory authorized repair center (broken grinder...fixed FOC under the OEM warrantee), and they remarked on how spotless the machine was, inside, outside, in the brew circuit and in the hot water circuit...especially considering the amount of shots I make!
SAECO, WLL and the local warrantee station (The Repair Shack) also recommend Urnex Cafiza (I use the Tablets, you can also buy it in powder form) to keep the COFFEE circuit as spotless as the HOT WATER circuit. You can see it work as it "peels" the layers of stuck-on coffee residue that even constant rinsing on my part (remember, I am anal, LOL!) does not remove and flushes it out. That, my friends, DEFINITELY results in me being able to fully appreciate my Lavazza Super Crema-based espresso, caffe lungo (caffe crema) and capuccino with NO bitterness caused by a dirty machine! If you're going to spend the money on an expensive machine, and use expensive coffee, you might as well get great tasting caffe, right?
My vote: HIGHLY Recommended. Just use it sparingly and enjoy your coffee!

I love Urnex. Love love love. I first used the product line while working as a professional coffee slinger, aka barista. We cleaned our drip urns and espresso machines with it nightly. I never thought of using it for home machines, favoring the time-tested vinegar technique. Now that I've used this product on my home machine, I will never go back.
Our coffee maker is about 18 months old. It's a Cuisinart all-in-one model, with the burr grinder. The carafe is difficult to clean, and was pretty mucky by the time I used the Urnex. One rinse through, and it was shining like a beacon. The "Wow Factor" is amazing. But can I tell you about how much better the entire coffee maker works? Urnex frees huge amounts of deposits from the inner workings of your machine. The gunk that comes out through your maker... It's incredible. We noticed immediately that the coffee maker worked faster and produced tastier coffee.
You only need to use this product in your machine every 6 months or so. It is worth every penny of investment and it is crazy easy to use. Do yourself a favor if you really like coffee. Clean your coffee maker.

I bought this a while back because I saw it in Warehouse Deals for a really silly price and thought I'd give it a show. I live in Kyle, TX where the water is so awful and full of calcium that in less than one year my coffee maker was taking FOREVER to brew a pot and by the time it finished about 1/8 of the water had evaporated. I normally use CLR which does the trick but it's pricey and then takes about 4-5 runs of clean water to finally stop smelling like CLR. I finally used this today and WOW WOW WOW! I mixed the powder with water as directed (it turns a really light blue). I then ran it through the coffee maker and the water that came out was GROSS!! This stuff cleans out EVERYTHING from the inside that even CLR didn't. I'm in the process of doing the 2 rinses and I cannot be happier with how much cleaner the machine is and how much better it even sounds! AWESOME PRODUCT, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Didn't work as well as expected
I will admit that I haven't been very good about cleaning my coffee maker. But I was disappointed that I still see mineral deposits in the water chamber and it didn't fully remove... Read more

Great for periodic cleanings.
Every six months or so I use Cleancaf to clean out my coffee maker and carafe. It works great, doesn't smell or seem caustic. Coffee tastes even better after the cleaning. Love it.

junk - vinegar worked much better
This stuff is junk. I used it as instructed, twice, and nothing came out. Then I used vinegar and tons of buildup came out. This product is a complete waste of money.

Get some red food coloring to use with this
Funny how this says that only a couple of pots of rinse water are enough. I put several drops of red food coloring in the original cleaner plus water mixture. Read more

This really cleans your coffee pot
A package of Cleancaf came with my coffee system. After the coffee pot got really grimy to the point soap and water did not do the job, I used the comp package and was amazed it... Read more

Great Job in Cleaning Coffee Pot
I am a bit of a coffee freak, filtered water, fresh roasted beans, and fresh ground beans. Having a clean system is important to maintain the ideal temp of 195F temp. Read more
