How do I use Urnex Cafiza Espresso Machine Cleaning Powder?

For daily backflushing, dissolve a specified amount of Cafiza powder (refer to product instructions or Urnex website for exact dosage) in hot water. Insert a blind filter into your portafilter, add the solution, and run short backflush cycles. Rinse thoroughly with clean water afterwards to remove all residue.

Is Urnex Cafiza safe for my espresso machine?

Yes, Urnex Cafiza is NSF certified for metal compatibility and OMRI listed, making it safe for use on traditional espresso machines. It is specifically formulated to clean group heads, valves, and lines without damaging metal components. Always follow the recommended usage and rinsing instructions.

Can I use this cleaner on any coffee or espresso machine?

These products are formulated for coffee makers and espresso machines, but format matters — use descaling solution or liquid for reservoir-based drip and capsule machines, and cleaning/backflush tablets for espresso group heads. Check the product's stated machine compatibility (drip, pod, or espresso) and boiler material before use.

How often should I clean my espresso machine with Cafiza?

Urnex Cafiza is recommended for use as part of a daily backflush regimen. Regular cleaning prevents coffee oils and residue buildup, which can affect flavour and machine performance. Consistent daily cleaning is key to maintaining your espresso machine's optimal condition and extending its lifespan.

How often should I descale my machine in India?

Descaling frequency depends on water hardness and usage. In areas with hard water, common across many Indian cities, more frequent descaling helps maintain flow and flavour. Follow the pack's cycle guidance and increase frequency if you notice slower brewing or mineral buildup.

Why choose this product

Superior Espresso Machine Hygiene

Urnex Cafiza is engineered to tackle the specific challenges of espresso machine cleaning. Unlike generic cleaners, its advanced formula targets coffee oils and residue at a molecular level, ensuring deep cleaning of group heads, valves, and internal lines. This targeted action prevents flavour contamination and maintains the pristine condition of your machine's critical components. NSF certification guarantees metal safety, so you can trust it with your valuable equipment.

Ideal for Indian Espresso Enthusiasts

This cleaner is perfect for anyone with a traditional espresso machine in India. If you use your machine daily and value consistent coffee quality, Cafiza is for you. Those who prefer a simple, effective daily cleaning routine will appreciate its ease of use. However, if you own a pod-based machine that requires specific capsule cleaners, or if you're looking for a descaler rather than an oil remover, this product may not be the best fit. For machines with high mineral buildup, a dedicated descaler is recommended.

How to use

Dissolve one scoop (approx. 5g) of Urnex Cafiza powder in hot water (refer to product instructions for exact amount) inside your espresso machine's portafilter with a blind filter. — Prepare the Cleaning Solution
Insert the portafilter into the group head. Run short backflush cycles (approx. 10 seconds on, 10 seconds off) for about 5-10 cycles to allow the solution to circulate through the group head, valves, and lines. — Perform Backflushing Cycles
Remove the portafilter and run several cycles of clean hot water through the group head to thoroughly rinse away all cleaning solution residue. Ensure no trace of cleaner remains. — Rinse Thoroughly
Soak the portafilter, blind filter, and any other removable parts in a separate solution of Cafiza and hot water for about 30 minutes. Rinse all parts thoroughly before reassembling and using the machine. — Clean Portafilter and Accessories
