Yes it does! Even though you can’t see inside of your machine without taking it apart, every coffee maker develops residue inside over time. Try running a brew cycle without any coffee in the machine and look at the water that comes out – gross!

Cleaning your coffee maker with ACTIVE tablets regularly not only keeps your coffee tasting fresh, but it also helps remove harmful contaminants that can be growing inside your machine.

ACTIVE Coffee Maker Cleaner is formulated to work with all brands of coffee and espresso makers – both single-serve and drip-style multi-cup machines.

We recommend cleaning your coffee maker 2 times each month for machines that have normal usage (1-2 brews per day). Frequently used or commercial machines may need to be cleaned more often.

The cleaning process loosens and flushes out and grime from inside the machine. Sometimes (particularly in single-serve machines) this can cause residue to block the needle spout.

If your machine is clogged, first try carefully inserting a paperclip into the needle spout to clear the blockage. Run another cleaning cycle afterward to flush out the remaining debris.

If that doesn’t work, try adding hot water to the reservoir and running another cleaning cycle. This will usually help dissolve any residue that may be blocking the lines.

These tablets can be used in both single-serve (like Keurig) and standard multi-cup coffee makers. Both types of machines use similar instructions.

1. Fill the water reserve with clean water and add 1 ACTIVE Coffee Maker Cleaner tablet.
2. After the tablet has dissolved, run 1 brewing cycle and dispose of the dirty water.
3. Run one more brewing cycle and dispose of the water again.
4. Refill the water reservoir with clean water and you’re ready to brew a fresh cup of coffee.

No, you should only use one tablet for each cleaning session. If you have an extremely dirty machine, we recommend doing a second cleaning session with another tablet.
