will it clean coffee machines

LindaI use this with dishwasher detergent - recipe is 50% Calgon and 50% Cascade - powder of course! This was recommended by an older gentleman who repaired my dishwasher years ago. It saves your pipes, tubing and items in the dishwasher.I think it would be fine for your coffee machine as well - diluted perhaps in a solution. I would contact Calgon & ask specifically.

It would help clear deposits, but I think vinegar would work faster and better.

OMGoodness. I just tried this thanks to you. I do not know if you have a black or white machine. Mine is an older white 12 cup. I mixed two tablespoons + full carafe. The pot filled up with medium brown water. I then put in 12 more water + 1/4 cup of vinegar and much lighter. Now is clear water and the carafe looks great. The inside is 10 times lighter and its pumping like crazy. The ground holder is lighter but will need to be soaked. I am not that much of a clean freak but I am so happy with the results. I would not overdo with the chemicals though. Thank you for this suggestion.

I think it is more of a softener, to make detergent more effective, not a cleaner itself. Vinegar or citric acid will work in coffee maker.

here is my experience with all Keurig type machine. If your water has lot mineral after about a year they will stop working when the mineral deposit clog up the the pump and it can no longer push the water out to make coffee. the only way around this that i have found is to used distilled water becausue all of the mineral have been removed with this process. this is just my opinion

Nooooooo. It leaks and damages your counters and cabinets I'd you don't catch it. They just replace it with another machine with the SAME issue. Descale, descale , descale your Keurig often and it should be fine.

I believe it would as it is made for food related machines. It has worked well on our high end Saeco Italian coffee maker. I would recommend it.

The operating manual that comes with the machine explains it in detail. You don't "clean" it everyday. They must be complaining about the occasional cleaning of the burr grinder and coffee shoot. As long as you follow the instructions there's no problem. They include a brush to do the job. And descaling is the same as for all coffee machines. I also didn't buy this because of some of the comments but decided to give it a try when there were even worse reviews about the capressa machines. I owned a model that they stopped making for 6 years, but found complaining started after they sold the company to another manufacturer. Anyway I gave the Breville a chance as I own a Breville juicer that I've had for years. Thus far I am very happy with the machine. And if you purchase through Amazon you have 30 days to return it if you don't like it. Good luck.

Yes it will, but it may not discharge them through the discharge hose and you might have to clean the filter. Most of the small leaves and algae go right through the machine and out the discharge hose, which saves a lot of time.

A safer way to clean coffee makers is to run a cycle of white vinegar through them instead of water to dissolve the deposits and then to run a few cycles of water to clear the vinegar out. Vinegar is a descaler, just more mild and won't hurt you.

Yes, it cleans them very well....use the bare floor attachment and some hard floor cleaner made for this machine and hot water. I was surprised what an easy job it was. Good luck on yo u r floor!

I bought the coffee maker as a gift....but having seen it a few times, I would say probably not. But you can buy a small bottle brush ( with a long handle) that will do the trick well....I used to use one to clean my quart thermos and it worked great!

Yes - use only plain water. Any cleaners, etc. will only serve to clog the machine and may render it useless.

As for cleaning; After I finish grinding the coffee beans, I use the little broom/brush (that comes attached to the side of the grinder) to get all the grinds out. That's it! I could use a damp paper towel to wipe it out if I were to grind other things, but I just do coffee. :)

I do. I soak all my coffee maker parts, and also my travel mug parts and seals. It soaks the coffee residue off nicely and rinses easily.

Could be as I use vinegar in my regular coffee pot but I've used this cleaner in my single cup machine as it probably works more effectively because it flows through much quicker and shorter period of time. Vinegar might not work fast enough. This works great!

Yes. However, the machines gets really messy abd clogged up when I put ground coffee. I read some other reviews which said same thing. For wholebean it great so far I must say and the frothing feature for the price point is good and it has decent size.

Yes, but best to use professional cleaner unless your machine is extra large capacity and has a delicate cycle.

If your shop is small yes but should be cleaned daily ( de scale ). Starbucks quantity no.

I haven't used this for coffee (have Keurig), but I would think yes. I use this screen to filter out sediment from my Breville juicer & it's great for that.
