We love having an espresso machine on hand to give us our daily cuppa every morning. What we don’t love as much is when minerals and other oils build up in the machine, leading to espresso that just doesn’t taste very good. Cleaning a machine involves what is called “descaling,” which simply means removing all these built-up deposits every month or so before they affect the machine’s operation as well as the brews it produces.
We know what you’re thinking: Does this involve pulling an espresso machine apart, or mixing together complicated cleaning solutions? Thankfully, the answer is no. Using ACTIVE’s Espresso Machine Cleaning Tablets, cleaning your machine is as easy as a single cycle. Let’s get into how and why these tablets are the quickest way to a clean machine, and continued shots of delicious espresso!
The great thing about these cleaning tablets is that you can use them even if your espresso machine doesn’t have a “cleaning” function. Just place the tablet in your machine’s detachable filter or shower head and run a regular cycle using just water (or a cleaning cycle, if your machine is equipped with it).
As the tablet dissolves, it releases a cleaning formula that removes oils, grime, calcium, limescale and other substances that clog up your machine. As you run water through the system, you may see “dribbly” liquid as it comes out of the machine. But within a minute or so, you’ll see a continuous stream of clear water leave the machine, which means it’s clean and ready to go!
Each bottle of the ACTIVE Espresso Machine Cleaning Tablets comes with 120 tablets, enough to keep your espresso machine clear of buildup for years. Best of all, these tablets don’t leave behind any odd odors or tastes — only good, clean espresso. Amazon users agree, and add that these tablets are “just as good as the brand name tablets, at a fraction of the cost.”
When it comes to cleaning your espresso machine, the ACTIVE Cleaning Tablets are both a simple and economical solution. And at under $20 a bottle, they’re a no-brainer investment when it comes to keeping your espresso humming!
