They work just fine in my Breville. Much cheaper than Breville brand cleaning tabs.

No problems, you just need two tablets instead of one larger tablet that Bosch used to sell.

Just read the reviews below. I, too, have a Capresso in my beach house. I use both, but the Capresso is a better product. I wouldn't buy the CBTL again. Just too many problems with it.

The only time I've had a problem was when I froze beans. I've since learned that isn't actually good for the beans anyway. But Peet's Major Dickason's blend is my choice also, and works just fine in this coffee maker! I do always, always brew on "strong" and use just a touch less water than the carafe indicates.Edited to add: I 've just read some other answers, and I'm embarrassed - but happy - to report that we never clean the chute. The only time we did was after we froze the beans and they gunked up the works!

We have used this with our Jura Impressa XS90 coffee maker for about the past year for our house. We have at least 3-4 of the tubes and black connectors and pretty much change the tubes/connectors each morning and put a clean one on and also follow the rinse commands from the machine etc. and sometimes when prompted for the rinse we put a cup of fresh water next to the machine and take the connection out of the milk cooler and dip it in the water cup. We have had no problems with ours. Also, the milk in the cooler seems to be fine for ~ 5 days and we then dump it out and wash out the cooler every 5 days and that has been fine also.

Sorry, I've not had that problem. (I've only owned the smaller 1-disc units). All I can suggest is that you call Venta and ask for help (or more help). So far all of my interactions with them have been very positive.

People have had problems with using the K-cup adapter portion of the Solofil V2. Their Brewers are not destroyed just clogged. I have a solution. The clogging happened to my V500. I have found a way to fix the issue. The problem is that the needle that punches the top of the K-cup gets clogged. This happens because the Vue positions the K-cup in the brewer sidways so the needle is in a position for grounds to get into it. This doesn't happen with Vue cups because the area where the needle punches into the vue cup has an indent of filter material that prevents grounds coming in contact with the needle. It also does not happen in the k-cup brewers because those brewers position the K-cup upright when brewing. The fix is to unfold a paper clip and rod out the needle hole. This can be done by opening the top of the brewer and inserting the end of the paper clip in the hole of the needle (flashlight needed). Once you have inserted it move it in and out a few times, remove, close the brewer and brew an 8oz cup with nothing in the machine. You will see loose grounds in the cup. Everything should work now until it happens again (unfortunately it will).

This is a new unit, made in Portugal, not Switzerland. It comes with a new unit warranty. I agree with M. Chaplin that support from Jura is excellent; this is our fourth Jura Capresso and some have served for as long as eight years in the face of daily use. Our only disappointment, compared to more expensive models, is that the coffee is not brewed as hot as we prefer (solution: preheat the cup in a microwave instead of wasting reservoir water by using the frother). All in all, an excellent value.

I'm not sure if it will work in all machines. I use these for my Jura Capressa, because the cleaning tabs are priced too high. These are smaller in size than the Jura branded tabs, but they seem to work very well. I hope this helps.

My Jura E8 had the same problem a couple of years ago. Took the machine apart, removed the brew group, and mailed to an eBay seller juracapressodoctor. He rebuilt the unit and sent it back. I installed and no more Error 8. The cost was $75. So far I have consumed 17,450 servings from the E8.

Easy. There is an 800 number on your machine. The Capressa folks are excellent at providing customer support. I have had my machine for many years, sending it in from time to time for a tune up.

Like, K. Bader, I have a Delonghi EC155 machine. Sadly, the pods did not perform well in mine (and, I did use it in the single serving filter). The espresso that I got was watery. I tossed all the pods because of this.

No leaking problems. The problem I do have is inconsistent operation. When tank is full it misfires about 25% of he time and it is frustrating. Caffitaly system is the BEST for espresso; cappuccino & Regular coffee. I have just purchased the Caffitaly model S05 from Canada. A much better built product that I hope will be consistent and perform better, This unit is NOT available from CBTL. All in all better than Kuerig! (Much better and stronger coffee too.

Our machine has been fantastic! Still has great pressure after nearly 9 years of near daily use. The cappuccino is more up to you (the grind and how tightly you prefer to pack the cup), our machine has done the job. Also be sure always clean up after using steam nozzle, as it won't vent well the next time if there is build-up.

I contacted Capresso because I had begun to have a terrible problem with my coffee leaking when brewing. Capresso sent me a new cap gratis. Now it works perfectly. So we know that they have the caps and are willing to supply them.

I can't really say anything about the Gaggia Classic since I have never used it. I can tell you that I am partially satisfied with the Capresso. I don't particularly like the design of the 2 portafilters, especially the one designed for one cup. The instructions say that it requires "practice" to use it properly and it looks from all the reviews that everybody has the same problem: coffee "spraying" out in all directions. Manual says that skills of a barista are required to use it properly: so basically they are trying to make the user feel totally inadequate to justify what seems to me a bad finicky design. The steaming wand is good although it only has one setting: on or off. You cannot regulate the amount of steam like in other espresso machines. All in all it is ok. Not the best.

I would suggest emailing csf and ask them. I've never had a problem with one. Did you have a problem? Did you make sure to use a taller radiator cap with it? The stock radiator cap will not work.

I have had no problem with our coffee maker including the carafe. Sorry I can't help - we love the front access feature.
