Why choose this product

Superior Cleaning Power for Espresso Machines

Urnex Cafiza's advanced powder formula is engineered to tackle tough coffee oils and residue that standard cleaners miss. Unlike generic cleaning agents, Cafiza balances potent cleaning strength with optimal solubility, ensuring it effectively cleans without damaging delicate espresso machine components. Its OMRI listing and NSF certification mean it's made with organic materials and is safe for food-contact surfaces when used as directed, providing a professional-grade clean that enhances the flavour of every espresso shot.

Ideal for Indian Water Conditions

This cleaner is perfect for Indian users who often face hard water issues. While it excels at removing coffee oils, its formulation is robust enough to help maintain machine integrity. If you have a very high-mineral content in your water, consider increasing the frequency of use or supplementing with a dedicated descaler. For those seeking a simple, effective daily cleaning solution for their espresso machine, this 3-pack offers excellent value and consistent results.

How to use

Dissolve one scoop (approx. 5g) of Urnex Cafiza powder in hot water (refer to your machine's manual for exact quantity, typically 1-2 litres) in a portafilter or cleaning vessel. — Prepare Cleaning Solution
Insert the portafilter with the cleaning solution into the group head. Run the brew cycle intermittently for about 10 seconds on, 10 seconds off, for approximately 5-10 cycles. — Backflush the Group Head
Remove the portafilter and run fresh, clean water through the group head for several cycles to thoroughly rinse away all cleaning solution residue. Repeat if necessary. — Rinse Thoroughly
Soak the portafilter, filter baskets, and other removable parts in a separate solution of Cafiza and hot water for about 30 minutes. Rinse all components thoroughly with clean water before reassembling. — Clean Portafilter & Accessories
