The ability to remove coffee residue and build-up from your super-automatic’s brew group now comes in a tiny tablet. Urnex Cafiza Cleaning Tablets have been formulated to quickly dissolve and powerfully clean super-automatic’s brew groups, and can also be used to clean the drip tray. Simply follow the instructions listed below for a sparkling clean machine in no time. Urnex Cafiza Home Espresso Machine Cleaning Tablets are recommended for use with any super-automatic espresso machine
I understand that the Cafiza tablets are mainly used to clean the brewgroup? I have a super automatic Gaggia Titanium. I cannot find instructions anywhere on the package. I also have the Cleancaf which I will use to descale. What is the difference and may I please have the instructions as to what to do with the tablets and how many to use?

Vinegar is an incredibly versatile product and has become a household staple as it is cheap, widely available, and can be used for just about anything. One misconception about vinegar is that it is a good way to clean and descale coffee machines. While it may sound self-serving, here’s why it is a...

Is there any reason not to get these tablets as opposed to the Jura cleaning tablets which cost three times as much?

Michael Rosso ♦ John...Jura has designed their cleaning tablets specifically for cleaning their machines. Thanks.
mjackson ♦ Joseph,
The cleaning tabs are more for the cleaning of the brewgroup and other internal parts. You may want to look and see if your machine can use a water filter like the Mavea or Aqua prima. See this link - http://www.wholelattelove.com/partsandcare.cfm?cid=28&scid=70. Or you may want to look into a descaler, such as - http://www.wholelattelove.com/Urnex/urnex_dezcal.cfm or a liquid one like this - http://www.wholelattelove.com/Durgol/durgol_swiss_espresso.cfm. The descaling products should help of you are in a hard water area or a filter would also really help if your machine is built to use one. I hope this helps and let us know if you have any questions.
Do these tabs work for the cleaning cycle of the Jura Capressa Super Automatics?

Zack Smith Rebecca, Jura has there own cleaning tablets that are designed for use in their super automatic machines. They are call the Jura cleaning tablets. However the Urnex cleaning tablets would also work in your machine.

Zack Smith Enrigue, You should descale your machine every couple months to ensure that there is no hard water buildup. To descale your machine you should use the Urnex cleancaf. It comes in a box with 3 packets to a box. As far as weekly cleaning you can just remove the brew group from the machine and wash it off with hot water.

DRuff Hi Glenn. Thank you for your question. I’m glad you are enjoying your Jura machine. Yes, Jura does have a version of these tablets. Both can be used in any super-automatic machine that requires the use of cleaning tablets. I hope this helps. Feel free to ask any other questions. Happy Brewing.

Michael Rosso ♦ Marie... Jura actually have specific tablets that are formulated for them and to work in their machines using their built in descaling programs. I know this system works and works very well. I am not sure if another type of product would work as well. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact us at 1-888-411-5282 option 1. Happy brewing.
Are these OK to use in my Bosch Benvenuto B-30 machine? It has a cleaning program that tells you when to drop the tablet in the chute. The Bosch brand tablets are virtually impossible to find in the US and I'm not sure if it's OK to substitute Capresso or Urnex tablets. The manual, naturally, says you need to use the Bosch tablets. Your opinion, please?

MikeR Either is an ok substitution. The Capresso ones I think are a more direct sub, as they have a lubrication agent in the tablet. But for cost, I'd probably alternate the two tablets, in lieu of the official Bosch tabs.

mjackson ♦ April try these instructions from our website
f your super automatic doesn’t have a cleaning program but does have a pre-ground coffee or bypass chute:
Place a Cafiza(TM) tablet in the pre-ground coffee chute and place a cup under the coffee spout. Press the button corresponding to brewing with pre-ground coffee and allow the machine to go through a typical brewing cycle. Repeat this cycle a minimum of 3 additional times, but without adding more tablets to the machine. Then, remove the coffee dispensing unit and rinse it carefully using clean water. Before using the appliance again, prepare two cups of coffee by pressing the button corresponding to brewing with pre-ground coffee, but without adding any coffee, and then discard.
If your super automatic does not have a cleaning program or a pre-ground coffee chute:
Place one Cafiza(TM) Home tablet in a cup and fill it with hot water. Remove the coffee dispensing unit and clean the filters and the dispensing channel with the prepared cleaning solution using a sponge or a small brush. Let the solution take effect for at least five minutes, then repeat this operation a minimum of three times. Rinse the coffee dispensing unit thoroughly with clean water before reinstalling. To clean the drip tray, place a Cafiza(TM) Home tablet inside and fill it 2/3 full with hot water. Let the cleaning solution take effect for about 30 minutes and rinse thoroughly.
