Coffee machine cleaning tablets

What are cleaning tablets for a coffee machine?

Cleaning tablets for a coffee machine remove grease from your coffee machine. You mainly use cleaning tablets in fully automatic coffee machines. In other coffee machines, such as a semi-automatic machine, cleaning powder is more often used. Regular use of coffee machine cleaning tablets is important to prevent coffee machine problems. Coffee beans are a bit greasy and during coffee brewing, this grease gets into the brewing group and pipes of the coffee machine. By using cleaning tablets, you prevent accumulation of this grease and prevent blockages.

How do coffee machine cleaning tablets work?

Cleaning tablets for a coffee machine work together with a coffee machine's cleaning programme. A cleaning tablet is placed in the coffee machine's brewing group after which the automatic cleaning programme is run. This programme ensures that the cleaning tablet is dissolved and flushed through all the pipes through which the greasy coffee passes. After running the rinse menu, the coffee machine is again free of greasy deposits.

Which brand of coffee machine cleaning tablets?

Most brands of coffee machines logically refer to their own brand of cleaning tablets in their manual. That doesn't mean you can't use universal cleaning tablets. The size and weight of a cleaning tablet determines how well it works. Firstly, the cleaning tablet must fit into the cleaning tablet insert compartment. And also, it is important that the cleaning programme allows the cleaning tablet to dissolve completely. Most cleaning tablets are around 2.5 grams. It happens with some coffee machines that a cleaning tablet of around 1 gram is needed.

At Café du Jour, we sell cleaning tablets from the brands: Cafetto Tevo, Café du Jour and Bosch/Siemens. Our house brand cleaning tablets can be used for various (fully) automatic coffee machines. We have tablets in 1 gram and 2.5 grams (standard).

How do you use coffee machine cleaning tablets?

Cleaning tablets for a coffee machine are always used in combination with running a cleaning programme. The manual of each coffee machine explains how to start and run a cleaning programme. At the start of a cleaning programme, you will usually be asked to insert a cleaning tablet. You do this by throwing a cleaning tablet into a special compartment or by placing the cleaning tablet in the filter of the brewing group. After this, the cleaning programme will do the rest. Afterwards, the brewing group is rinsed with clean water and the coffee machine is free of grease and ready for use.

The importance of regular maintenance

A coffee machine is a valuable asset for coffee lovers. To ensure that your coffee machine performs optimally and lasts a long time, regular maintenance essential. One of the most effective ways to extend the life of your coffee machine is to use regular cleaning tablets. In this article, we will discuss how using cleaning tablets can help improve the performance and durability of your coffee machine.

How cleaning tablets improve your coffee machine

Cleaning tablets for your coffee machine help extend the life of your coffee machine. Using cleaning tablets provides the following:

Removal of build-up and limescale deposits

Regular use of your coffee machine can cause coffee residues, oils and minerals such as calcium and magnesium to build up in the internal parts. This build-up can negatively affect the machine's performance and lead to clogged pipes, disrupted water flow and even taste changes in your coffee. Cleaning tablets are specially designed to remove this build-up and reduce limescale deposits, allowing your coffee machine to work more efficiently.

Improve the taste of your coffee

Build-up of coffee residue and limescale deposits in your coffee machine can affect the taste of your coffee. It can lead to bitter flavours, a flat taste experience or even an unpleasant smell. By using cleaning tablets regularly, you ensure that your coffee machine stays clean and that your coffee retains its full aroma and flavour. This contributes to a better coffee experience and satisfaction when using your machine.

Maintaining machine performance

A coffee machine that is not cleaned regularly can reduce its performance over time. Clogged pipes and limescale deposits can impede water flow rate, resulting in longer brew times and weaker coffee extraction. By using cleaning tablets, you keep the internal parts of your coffee machine clean and free of blockages. This helps maintain a consistent water flow, ensuring your coffee is always brewed with the right pressure and extraction.

Extending the life of the machine

Whether you have a fully automatic coffee machine, espresso machine or any other variety, make sure you do regular cleaning using the right cleaning tablets. This will extend the life of your coffee machine and ensure that you can always enjoy a perfect cup of coffee.

By removing build-up and limescale deposits, you reduce the chances of blockages, component wear and other potential malfunctions. This means your coffee machine can work more efficiently and is less likely to be damaged, allowing you to enjoy your investment for longer.

Using cleaning tablets is simple. Consult your coffee machine's user manual to know how often and in what way to use the tablets. It is usually recommended to perform a regular cleaning programme, where you insert the tablets and start the cleaning process. This will effectively remove coffee residues, oils and fats, resulting in a better taste of your coffee and optimal water flow.

The cleaning tablets not only clean the pipes and the brewing group, but also ensure that coffee deposits are vigorously removed.
