Mr. Coffee Coffeemaker Cleaner - For All Automatic Drip Units Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I don't particularly like this product at all as a cleaner.I have used many a coffee pot cleaner and not of them have ever cleaned as well as Brew Rite cleaner.Not only does this cleaner do the job on the inside of the cleaner, it makes an excellent cleaner to get off all the build-up of oils on the outside of the coffee maker.Our coffee maker does double duty not only as a coffee maker but as an ice tea maker as well so it get double the oil and residue build-up and needs to be cleaned more frequently.However, I have great difficulty in locating stores that carry this brand of cleaner.I found it once at my local Walmart and they haven't carried it since.Fortunately I stocked up on it while they had it after I found out how well it worked.This cleaner also works well in the table-top fountains that have become popular in recent years for relaxation purposes.Most water has minerals in it that cause an almost barnacle like build-up on these fountains and their tubing and a mixture of Brew Rite cleaner in the pitcher of water you keep to refill the fountain with helps to hold down the mineral build-up and keeps the fountains working better.It is an all around great cleaner and I'm sorry to say I can't find it available locally any more.I can't recommend it highly enough.Mr. Coffee your cleaner sucks even if your pots are great!

Urnex Cleancaf Coffee Machine Cleaner and Descaler - 14-CL12-3-13 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just my TWO CENTS:

Expensive to use? Bitter taste after usage? Not Recommended by OEM's? Use lemon juice? Maybe it's just me, but I really don't get it!

Unless you're using your machine commercially to make hundreds of shots per week, you're wasting your money, not to mention killing your machine by decalcifying constantly. I have nearly 6,000 shots (!) on my one year-old Saeco Incanto Sirius machine and I just finished my FIRST 3-package Cleancaf box. In all this time, the machine has only prompted me to decalcify ONCE. It bases this on a water pH test you perform at the time of new machine commissioning and the coresponding water hardness setting of the machine resulting from the set-up test. I ignore the prompt and just decalc every THREE months or so (i.e, like the package instructions recommend, LOL!) I've never noticed a decrease in water flow (during coffee or steam/hot water wand usage), nor has there been any decrease in coffee temperature. FWIW, I fill the machine reservoir (I have spare reservoir that I use for decalcifying only) all the way up with warm water and one packet of Cleancaf...it has a two-litre capacity. Then I rinse with TWO reservoirs full of clean warm water. It DOES take a while....the machine is next to the sink, so I aim the wand at the drain, let the thing go and walk away to do other things. I NEVER have an issue with taste after cleaning and I am anal about coffee taste, freshness and machine cleanliness. FWIW, the machine uses the Aqua Prima in-reservoir micropore and charcoal filter, and I use supermarket-brand spring water (loaded with mineral and micro-organisms, LOL) in the one-gallon jug (lots of them, with the amt. of espresso I brew, LOL!).

For those of you thinking of using a non-authorized acidic solution (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) for decalcifying, think again. SAECO USA as well as Whole Latte Love (authorized SAECO sales/service) will tell you to use SAECO Dezcal (it's also made by Urnex)or Urnex Cleancaf ONLY for decalcification. They're non-toxic, bio-degradeable, chelation-process cleaners (Dezcal is weak sulfonic acid, Cleancaf is classified "non-hazardous" per their respective MSDS hazardoussheets). If you use lemon juice or white vinegar you will very likely cause water circuit damage and VOID your warrantee. Don't believe me, call the manufacturer and ask yourself...it's in the owner's manual as well. BTW, most Starbucks Barrista espresso machines are OEM'ed by SAECO in Bologna, Italia.

My machine has been in to the local factory authorized repair center (broken grinder...fixed FOC under the OEM warrantee), and they remarked on how spotless the machine was, inside, outside, in the brew circuit and in the hot water circuit...especially considering the amount of shots I make!

SAECO, WLL and the local warrantee station (The Repair Shack) also recommend Urnex Cafiza (I use the Tablets, you can also buy it in powder form) to keep the COFFEE circuit as spotless as the HOT WATER circuit. You can see it work as it "peels" the layers of stuck-on coffee residue that even constant rinsing on my part (remember, I am anal, LOL!) does not remove and flushes it out. That, my friends, DEFINITELY results in me being able to fully appreciate my Lavazza Super Crema-based espresso, caffe lungo (caffe crema) and capuccino with NO bitterness caused by a dirty machine! If you're going to spend the money on an expensive machine, and use expensive coffee, you might as well get great tasting caffe, right?

My vote: HIGHLY Recommended. Just use it sparingly and enjoy your coffee!

Urnex Cleancaf Coffee Maker & Espresso Machine Cleaner and Descaler 3 Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got a sample of this product in my new Hamilton Beach Brew Station. The first time I used it, I could not believe how great it is.

Things I like:

Dissolve in 4 cups of water, pour in coffeemaker. Dissolves easily.

Run through the coffeemaker, then wipe and rinse parts. I said "wipe", not "scrub"! First one I ever used that I could do that. I was very impressed.

Two subsequent run throughs with clear water. The cleaner is tinted with a blue color, so that you can see if you have got it all rinsed out.

Then you are done. That's it. No more muss, fuss, or mess.

It does say to use it once a week. I find once a month is plenty for us, but that would depend on coffeemaker usage. Fabulous product.

Krups F054 Anticalc Lime Descaller Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the descaller (is it really spelled that way?) for my ancient Krups Il Primo espresso machine.No instructions came in the box. It took forever to get any help from Krups and then the instructions were for much fancier machines.
So here's what I did:
Dissolve the packet in 500ml of water. I did half a packet because my machine could not hold all that much.
Pour a third of the mixture into the machine. Steam some of it and let the rest go through the coffee basket.
Do that again.
Then heat it up and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. And then expell the mixture.
I found "crud" in the basket. Next time I will check the basket after each round.
I then ran plain water through the machine several times. Maybe it wasn't necessary but it made me feel better.

Medelco 4-Cup Permanent Basket Coffee Filter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This filter wss purchased for use in a Mr Coffee DR4.

It replaces a permanent filter from Mr Coffee that had a plastic bottom with the mesh only on the sides.

The Medelco filter has mesh on the bottom as well as the sides, thus the water runs through the filter too fast resulting in weak coffee.

The only suggestion from Medelco's help line was to use more coffee!

Mr. Coffee GTF2-1 Basket-style Gold Tone Permanent Filter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The service was good, prompt and communication was also good about the shipping. The filter works well. we were hoping for a filter that had mesh on the bottom of the filter as well as the sides. We couldn't tell from the photo if that was the case. The filter does have a solid plastic bottom so we were a bit disappointed. The filter does fit our Mr Coffee coffee maker and that is the important piece. We are satisfied with our purchase though not delighted.

Keurig 5072 Water Filter Replacement Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought two of these filters. I installed one in my B70 at home and the other in my B60 in my office.
The B70 continues to work but the B60 is no longer working. The pump runs and makes noise but the machine does not take in water. I contacted Keurig who told me that the newer machines have a "more sensitive" pump and that these filters have been causing problems. Sounds like the newer machines have a weaker pump that can't pull the water through.
Since removing the filter, the machine only sometimes works so Keurig has offered to replace it with a new machine.
They recommended I remove the filter from my B70 before it also breaks and offered me a free 24 pack of coffee to make up for the $36 I spent on these two filters (purchased from Bed, Bath and Beyond)
Good cust service, no complaints there... but I don't recommend his filter (and Keurig agrees)

Product Description:
Considering that water makes up over 95-percent of each cup of coffee (even if you added a copius amount of sugar), microscopic particles and minerals can contaminate the taste of even the best cup of coffee or tea. What a catastrophe if the prime ingredients that fill each Keurig K-Cup meet with distasteful water. Unfortunately, many areas of the USA still have relatively hard water. That's where the Keurig 5072 Water Filter Replacement becomes an essential accessory. It's about health but, most of all, it's taste.
