Urnex Cafiza Professional Espresso Machine Cleaning Powder 566 Grams - 3 Pack

Did what it needed to do no complaints

Good product

I have an Ember 10oz white coffee cup. The inside after a couple of years of use was almost black. I tried about 12 different ways to get the stain out. Nothing helped or even came close to reduce the stain let alone remove it. I tried this product as a last result and I will tell you I was amazed at the results. All it took was one teaspoon in hot water and a stir. I let it set for a couple of hours and the inside was as white as the outside of the cup. It required no scrubbing at all. I would give the product a 100 star rating if it was available. Next time I clean my cup I will take photo's and post them. David Wade

This was the brand of cleaner that seems to be recommended by many of the coffee gear sites. Since I have very, very hard water, my Breville Express needs to be cleaned on a frequent basis. The powder is far more economical than the tablets. This leaves zero taste, so I don't have the problem that I used to have with my old Keurig when I would do the vinegar cleaning. (God, that was horrid. I felt sorry for the people who work in a douche factory.) I have heard this cleaner works for far more than just coffee makers. Use it for broiler pans and shower stalls and things like that. Your results may vary. I haven't done it. I will say that the 3 pack was way cheaper than the single 1 pack of the powder. It was basically like "buy 2, get 1 free." And that was already cheaper than the tablets. And how hard is it to stick a measuring spoon in there and then put that powder in your portafilter? It is just as easy as putting a tablet in your portafilter. Really, it is worth it to get the powder.

Works well!
