Are these beans suitable for espresso, filter coffee and cappuccino?
Yes, these coffee beans are versatile and are appreciated by many of our customers in various brewing methods. They are particularly suitable for espresso, cappuccino and filter coffee. The pronounced fruity and floral notes, for example, come out beautifully as an espresso or V60, while the smooth flavour also lends itself well to cappuccino or regular coffee.
Can I safely use this cleaning powder for the brew unit of my fully automatic espresso machine?
Yes, our Clean Express cleaning powder is ideal for cleaning the brewer unit of various fully automatic coffee machines. It effectively removes stubborn grease and coffee residues, as mentioned in customer reviews.
How do I use the Café du Jour descaling powder correctly?
Dissolve 50 grams of the descaling powder in one litre of water. Pour this mixture into the water reservoir of your coffee machine. Allow it to work for 10 minutes, then let half of the liquid run through, switch off the machine for another 10 minutes, and then complete the cycle. Afterwards, rinse your machine at least three times with clean water to prevent any residual tastes. Always consult your machine’s manual for specific instructions.
After cleaning my espresso machine, I noticed that the lever was moving a bit more stiffly; is this normal?
It may happen that after cleaning with Clean Express cleaning powder, the lever of your espresso machine becomes a bit stiffer. This is because the powder washes away any lubricants. We recommend lubricating moving parts such as the lever mechanism again with a suitable food-grade silicone grease, such as Molykote 111, after backflushing.
How much cleaning powder do I need per use?
In most cases, one tablespoon of Clean Express cleaning powder is sufficient for one cleaning cycle. Always follow your coffee machine manufacturer's instructions for the best results.
The cleaning tablets do not always dissolve completely in my coffee machine. What can I do to improve this?
Some customers notice that the tablets do not fully dissolve in certain coffee machines. We recommend placing the tablet well at the back of the cleaning compartment or, if necessary, breaking the tablet into smaller pieces before use. This will help the tablet dissolve more quickly and ensure the cleaning programme runs optimally.
Are these tablets as effective as the original (more expensive) cleaning tablets from well-known brands?
According to many of our customers, Clean Express works just as well as the original (and often more expensive) cleaning tablets from the well-known brands. The effect is experienced as equivalent; your machine will be clean again and the coffee flavour remains well preserved. Make sure to achieve the best possible cleaning result by placing the tablet correctly or breaking it if necessary.
The tablets seem smaller than original cleaning tablets. Is their effectiveness comparable?
Yes, although the Clean Express tablets are smaller than some original tablets from other brands, their cleaning performance is excellent. Several customers indicate that they clean their machine well and offer an affordable alternative to the original tablets.
Is this descaling powder suitable for my Senseo machine?
Yes, the Café du Jour Descaling Powder is perfectly suitable for all types of coffee and espresso machines with a water reservoir, including Senseo machines. Many customers use this product specifically for their Senseo and are very satisfied with the result. When descaling your Senseo, place a used pad in the pad holder to filter out limescale residues even more effectively.
Can I use this package to discover which flavour suits me, even if I don't yet know what I like?
Yes, this tasting pack is ideal especially for coffee drinkers who want to discover their palate. You can try several small quantities at your leisure, making it easier to choose a favourite for a larger pack afterwards. The different regions offer something for everyone: from fruity to spicy to chocolatey.

Segafredo Caffè Crema Dolce is a well-balanced blend with an intensity of 7, which classes it with us as strong. The coffee has an aromatic, rounded flavour. Reviews show that it is approachable and forms a beautiful crema layer.
Can the descaling powder also be used in kettles?
Yes, the Café du Jour descaling powder is also suitable for descaling kettles. Fill your kettle with one litre of water and add one sachet. Bring the mixture to the boil, leave it to stand for 10 minutes and then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Does this coffee produce a nice crema layer?
Yes, according to reviews, Segafredo Caffè Crema Dolce provides a beautiful and creamy crema layer. This contributes to the authentic taste experience of a true Italian Caffè Crema.
Can I also use the Clean Express tablets to manually clean my coffee machine or individual parts?
Yes, you can crush a tablet and dissolve it in warm water to clean loose parts such as filters, brew groups or milk frothers. Let these parts soak for a while and then rinse them thoroughly with clean water.
Are these coffee beans suitable for every type of coffee machine?
These beans are suitable for all machines that work with whole beans: fully automatic machines, semi-automatic machines and portafilter machines. They are not suitable for pod and capsule machines. The roast is medium, so the beans work well in the machine types mentioned.
