Capresso 640.13 Cleaning Solution 3 packets 1 oz (28g)



Fair solution, not great


Capresso markets this solution as an easy way to de-calcify your coffee maker. The goal is to clean the heating elements so that the water gets heated to near 200 degrees to extract maximal flavor from the ground coffee. My coffee maker is ten years old and I have not de-calcified faithfully, so I may have been expecting too much, but I found this solution no better than a white vinegar and water (50/50 ratio) combination. Easier to use than the vinegar. I think the key is to do this often if your drinking water is hard.

Works as designed


Yep, this got it clean alright. I underestimated how dirty the tank was until running this solution through. Coffee tasted much better after a cleanup.

As Ordered


It works and is as it says and worked well to clean my coffee maker. (added this to to meet the minimum word count)
