“We tried a lot of things - white vinegar, other descalers, and this was the only thing that cleaned our coffeemakers. We plan to keep a supply on hand for all future cleaning.”
“I think I had been using just a coffee machine cleaner rather than a descaler for a long time. The two are very different. I love that each one of these were individually sealed in their own wrapper inside of the container. They fizzed right up when I dropped them in the water. They seemed to do a good job on my Saeco automatic espresso machine. I will certainly buy these again when I run out, though I expect these 12 will last me for awhile. My maching tells me when it needs to be descaled, and with only 2 of us using it, I don't have to descale very often. Great convenient product!”
“Easy to use, seems to do a good job”
