Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cleancaf Cleaner and Descaler for Home Coffee and Espresso Equipment (3 x 0.33 oz)
Customer Review: Good product, but not economical to use
Summary: 3 Stars
Product is fine. The coffee shop says it will clean up anything having to do with coffee....but... I thought I was getting a bigger size box than I saw down at the coffee shop that would make it more economical to use. This box is the same small size though. (about 2 1/2 by 6 inches) Has 3 envelopes for 3 uses. Says to use once per week. The price for 1 box with shipping is about 11 dollars. That is around 100 dollars per year! Good if they made a bigger size. Maybe they do but I can't find it. If needed I will buy this at the coffee shop and skip the high shipping cost. I may be missing something here (buy in bulk?) but thought I'd pass on the warning.
Update: Funny....I was at the super market the other day and saw the same box for about 3.50 as in the coffee shop. It is that shipping cost that is the real surprise. Where there is a will there is a way!
Customer Review: Urnex Cleancaf Coffee Machine Cleaner
Summary: 5 Stars
Do you have an espresso machine which is slow & sluggish - not frothing milk the way it used to? Or how about a coffee maker which is making bitter coffee that doesn't taste as good as it once did? Don't throw those machines out! Urnex Cleancaf Cleaner really works!! I have used it on two espresso machines I thought I would have to replace and they have been reborn. I also used it on my coffee maker with excellent results. That makes this product a money saver. (And one doesn't need to use it as often as they say. It depends on how often you use your machines, if you use filtered water, etc., but my machines are kept like new with semi-annual use.)Customer Review: LOVE IT!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this product on a whim, it was on clearance at a local Williams Sonoma (the same price as Amazon) and I have told everyone I know about this product, I love it. I had cleaned my coffee machine several times the old fashioned way, vinegar, hot water, etc. but nothing seemed to really work. One time with this product and the coffee machine was pretty much brand new again and all the stains in my thermal coffee pot were gone, even when I use bleach to clean the pot there is still some left over stains, I love this stuff. I know that the box says to use once a week but I think that's a bit much, once a month or every other month is probably fine.Customer Review: Effective cleaner, but Starbucks support says don't use it!
Summary: 3 Stars
I've been using this product for two years on my Starbucks Barista espresso machine and I think its been doing a good job.
Lately my espresso has been off, so I called Starbucks tech support. While the problem was unrelated, they asked how and how often I descale my machine. I told them Cleancaf and that I do it monthly.
The nice support agent said to stop using CleanCaf and use pulp-free lemon juice instead, or I'd risk voiding my warranty. She also said don't bother descaling but once every 3 months at most.
No more cleancaf for me!
Customer Review: Great Product! Great Price!
Summary: 5 Stars
Since my coffee machine was starting to produce bitter coffee and I saw this product recommended on the Real Simple (1-year) website, I looked it up on Amazon and decided to give it a try after reading the other reader reviews. I am delighted! The price was good, the product couldn't have been easier to use, and my coffee tasted great the next day. I highly recommend this cleaner.
