Best Coffeemaker Cleaner Ever!
I got a sample of this product in my new Hamilton Beach Brew Station. The first time I used it, I could not believe how great it is.
Things I like:
Dissolve in 4 cups of water, pour in coffeemaker. Dissolves easily.
Run through the coffeemaker, then wipe and rinse parts. I said "wipe", not "scrub"! First one I ever used that I could...

Doesn't rinse out - gross
I used this cleaner in my coffee pot this morning - 10 run-throughs with clean water later, the water that comes out is still tainted with chemicals. This is disgusting - I used it exactly as the directions indicated, and after two run-throughs expected the pot to be ready to use - the coffee that came out was horrible. Decided it might need another few rinses, and have...

Best Coffeemaker Cleaner Ever!, August 14, 2008
This review is from: Urnex Cleancaf Coffee Maker & Espresso Machine Cleaner and Descaler 3 Pack
I got a sample of this product in my new Hamilton Beach Brew Station. The first time I used it, I could not believe how great it is.
Things I like:
Dissolve in 4 cups of water, pour in coffeemaker. Dissolves easily.
Run through the coffeemaker, then wipe and rinse parts. I said "wipe", not "scrub"! First one I ever used that I could do that. I was very impressed.
Two subsequent run throughs with clear water. The cleaner is tinted with a blue color, so that you can see if you have got it all rinsed out.
Then you are done. That's it. No more muss, fuss, or mess.
It does say to use it once a week. I find once a month is plenty for us, but that would depend on coffeemaker usage. Fabulous product.

The Only Cleaner I Use, October 4, 2009
This review is from: Urnex Cleancaf Coffee Maker & Espresso Machine Cleaner and Descaler 3 Pack
I love the ease and quality of this coffee pot cleaner. I have used it on several machines that I have had and it always does a good job with very little fuss or mess. We have a well and have hard water, so I clean our coffee pot every month with this product. Works great!

It works, July 26, 2008
This review is from: Urnex Cleancaf Coffee Maker & Espresso Machine Cleaner and Descaler 3 Pack
It works just like promised. Illy recommends this product for their coffee machines, which is why I bought it. It is pretty easy to use. Just follow directions. Note the proportions, though. My coffee maker's water reserve needed only one half of the packet.

Great cleaner for the Tassimo machine, April 23, 2010
This review is from: Urnex Cleancaf Coffee Maker & Espresso Machine Cleaner and Descaler 3 Pack
I have a Tassimo coffee machine (uses pods for single servings), which does not specify what kind of cleaner to use for descaling/cleaning in their manual. I bought this to try, and it worked just great the first time through. Just make sure you follow the directions!

This product cured my Keurig brewer blues, February 10, 2010
This review is from: Urnex Cleancaf Coffee Maker & Espresso Machine Cleaner and Descaler 3 Pack
My Keurig started acting funny. Coffee was not as warm, it started to make louder noises during the brewing process and the coffee sizes were becoming less and less reliable (example: a tall travel sized portion was much less). The machine was acting up because it was clogged with scale. Easy solution: de-scale.
I've used vinegar in the past for all of my brewer descaling and it has worked satisfactorily. However, vinegar is not a product I keep around that often, it smells when it's used in a descaling situation and it takes up a lot of room if stored. That said, vinegar does work ... but I like these Cleancaf packets better.
Pros: they are small, easy to use, and this purchase gives you 9 uses.
Cons: is an irritant, may be more costly than vinegar
I believe a reviewer mentioned a "blue" color so that one could tell if the product was through the system adequately. For me, this was not the case. The color was cloudy white, not blue. But after several runs through my Keurig, it worked.
My method of use:
1) I have a Keurig B70 Single-cup K-cup brewer. I used a large Pyrex Pyrex Prepware 1-Quart Measuring Cup, Clear with Red Measurements measuring cup to prepare the mixture and catch the mixture.
2) After I prepared the mix in warm water, I poured it into my Kuerig water reservoir and ran it through cup cycles (about 4 of them).
3) I thoroughly rinsed the water reservoir and used clean water to run through more cup cycles on the machine. Using my Pyrex, I could watch the water become clearer and clearer.
4) I ran 3 reservoirs of water through before I was satisfied it was clean enough and there were no traces of this product left. That worked.
After I was done, the coffee came out PIPING HOT at the set 129 degrees F. The portions were even and the machine was brewing much more quietly and efficiently. Descaling is not one of those things that one usually thinks about too often until a brewer starts to get moody. This is a great product to have on hand to take care of the brewer blues.
5 Stars!

Works as described, December 21, 2009
This review is from: Urnex Cleancaf Coffee Maker & Espresso Machine Cleaner and Descaler 3 Pack
I used this on my Gaggia Espresso machine and it worked great.
A bit of advice though: you will probably need to run more water through it after use. The directions say to run 32 oz. through the machine twice after application but I found it necessary to run it through at least 4 or 5 times to make sure the water was clear coming out.
I'm sure every machine is different.
Great value too. 1 pack per application and 2 packs per box. Shipment comes with 3 boxes.
Highly recommend if you use your coffee machine a lot.

Coffee maker descaler, June 27, 2009
This review is from: Urnex Cleancaf Coffee Maker & Espresso Machine Cleaner and Descaler 3 Pack
Best product I've found to actually deep clean or descale/decalcify the coffee maker that I use (a Hamilton Beach Brewstation Plus). A bit expensive, but I'm sure it adds to the life of my coffee maker.

Revived my Gaggia espresso machine, August 18, 2010
This review is from: Urnex Cleancaf Coffee Maker & Espresso Machine Cleaner and Descaler 3 Pack
I had my espresso machine for about 4 years and used Durgol once perhaps 3 years ago. The years passed and I never really thought about it. I used JoeGlo to clean the machine and thought that was basically all I needed to do. Well, about two weeks ago, after not using the machine for a while because of moving, I turned on the machine and tried to pull a shot. It took my machine about 60 seconds to pull just a shot of water through. When I loaded the portafilter and tried to pull a shot of espresso it barely dribbled out and was absolutely horrible. I thought my pump was dying and started researching new espresso machines. After looking at some forums, I learned that limescale may have built up on the boiler and I figured spending less than $10 was better than buying a $400-500 machine.
I followed the instructions on the package, ran it through the machine and steam wand, and ran a couple of liters of water through afterward to flush the rest of the chemicals out, and it made my espresso machine almost like new! It pumps out water like it used to and I can pull a shot of coffee in a normal amount of time again!
Highly recommended.

Nothing Cleans Like This, July 6, 2010
This review is from: Urnex Cleancaf Coffee Maker & Espresso Machine Cleaner and Descaler 3 Pack
When I purchased my first Hamilton Beach Brewstation coffee maker in 2005, it came with a packet of CleanCaf enclosed. I used it then, and was amazed at the results and now I wouldn't buy anything else to clean my coffeemaker. Simply put, nothing else works as well to clean my coffee pot. White vinegar is a joke next to this, and I've tried some of the cleaners that you can buy in the supermarket and they just can't compare.

Works As Advertised, June 18, 2010
This review is from: Urnex Cleancaf Coffee Maker & Espresso Machine Cleaner and Descaler 3 Pack
I have tried several coffee-maker cleaners-- including the "industrial-strength" ones. This is the only one that actually worked. An excellent product
