Essential Values Descaling Tablets (12 Count/Up to 12 Uses) for Jura, Miele, Bosch, Tassimo Espresso Machines and Miele Steam Ovens (1 Pack)

I use these tablets (one per cleaning) in my Breville as per Breville manual and they seem to be keeping my machine running smoothly. (I make around 12 shots of espresso per day in my Breville.)

I got this for my Jura coffee maker. We have very hard water that kills coffee makers at an alarming rate, so descaling is an absolute necessity. With regular descaling, I’ve managed to keep my coffee machine happy for over five years. A record for me.

We have a complicated and completely awesome espresso machine that our entire family adores. To keep it clean and functioning properly it has to go through a descaling process. I found this intimidating to start but it is actually simple. You drop in the appropriate tabs for your machine into the water container. You push the cleaning button and it does all the work. It takes about 20 minutes and then I rinse everything, wipe and clean the machine, and we’re back in business good as new. These tabs work as well as the two that came with the machine.

These are great. I didn’t even know I needed them, although I’m sure it’s in my Breville manual (admittedly I didn’t read it). I noticed my coffee began coming out a little slower than normal. I looked into it and learned I needed to descale every so often. (I have had this machine for about 2 1/2 years and have never done it before) After descaling, I did a clean cycle with the little tablets that go in the press, then made and threw away 3-5 shots of espresso. I noticed a change in the flow of the coffee pour. Been doing great since.

Delivered as promised. Have not yet used as I just descaled with other methods on NYD

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!

I got this descaler for my espresso machine. makes the espresso taste as good as when it was new. Highly reccomend. I have a mr coffee espresso maker and they work on it you just have to cut the tablet into small pieces. i would reccomend running several cycles to get it all out. the tablets are tasteless after the fact. i ran the machine 3 times to get it all out. i used a dark cup to tell if the water was clear or not.

These tablets work much better than the Miele tablets I got for my coffee maker. Those just sit in the water. I have to bust them into powder first to get any benefit. But these tablets start fizzing immediately and create a very strong vinegar smell, that tells me they're doing what they're meant to do. And they're even less expensive than the miele tablets. After the first use, I observed a much stronger water flow in my coffee machine. Bravo.
