The efficacy isn’t just marketing fluff either; it’s backed by customer feedback and extensive testing.
Not only will our tablets remove mineral buildup and coffee oils with ease, enhancing the taste of your coffee, but they’re also compatible with all single-serve and drip-style coffee and espresso makers.
In other words, it doesn’t matter what type of coffee maker you own – ACTIVE Coffee Maker Cleaning Tablets have got you covered.
Comparing Our Tablets to Powder & Other Options
ACTIVE’s tablets, with our scientific formulation, are designed to remove grime and scale effectively, leaving no residue or taste behind. That’s something not all other cleaners can do.
When it comes to powder cleaners, the primary drawback is their lack of practicality.
For one thing, they can be messy to handle and sometimes inconsistent in their cleaning performance. On the other hand, ACTIVE Coffee Cleaner Tablets are compact, easy to use, and deliver consistent results every time.
The Science Behind ACTIVE Coffee Maker Cleaner Tablets
The effectiveness of our tablets lies in their ability to eliminate residues, oils, and mineral deposits that accumulate within the coffee maker. This will not only enhance the performance of your coffee machine but will also help prolong its longevity.
The formula has undergone extensive testing to ensure it removes grime and scale effectively. Their effectiveness in thoroughly purging and descaling coffee and espresso machines is unmatched and helps support machine upkeep.

Ingredients That Make a Difference
The blend of ingredients found in our coffee machine cleaner tablets is both safe and effective. Citric acid is one of the primary active ingredients in ACTIVE Coffee Maker Cleaner tablets. It works wonders in loosening grime build-up and removing mineral deposits.
The tablets also include a blend of other ingredients which work synergistically to boost the cleaner’s efficacy in removing coffee residues and mineral deposits. This unique formulation sets our tablets apart from many cleaners in the market and contributes to their optimal performance in coffee makers.
How ACTIVE Coffee Machine Cleaner Tablets Protect Your Machine
The tablets are more than just cleaners, they also help protect your coffee maker. More specifically, they help protect single-serve and drip-style coffee and espresso makers by eliminating residue build-up from minerals, hard water, limescale, oils, and other substances.
By removing grime and other residue, they help reduce unnecessary wear and tear on various components of the machine.
Other benefits of our tablets include:
- Helping prevent clogging and malfunctions by deep cleaning and descaling the machine
- Eliminating coffee stains, oil buildup, and minerals that cause discoloration and corrosion
Step-by-Step Guide on How to Clean Your Coffee Maker with ACTIVE Tablets
Using ACTIVE Coffee Maker Cleaner on your machine is simpler than you might think. The process consists of three simple steps: preparation, cleaning, and post-cleaning care.
Preparing Your Coffee Maker for Cleaning
First things first, you want to eliminate any coffee grounds that are still inside before cleaning. That will boost the tablet’s efficiency by eliminating coffee drips, grinds, and the residual oils that may be left behind.
Next, empty the water reservoir. Using clean water helps assist the tablet’s ability to remove mineral deposits that may have accumulated inside the coffee maker’s tank and tubes.
The Cleaning Process
Now onto the fun part – the cleaning process. Simply place one cleaning tablet into the water reservoir, then fill it with water. Turn on your coffee maker and run a brewing cycle. This allows the cleaning solution to pass through the machine, scrubbing away all the grime and mineral buildup.
If necessary, you can repeat the process. But remember to dispose of the dirty water and refill the water reservoir with clean water first before running another brewing cycle.
That will ensure any residual cleaning solution inside the coffee maker is thoroughly rinsed out.

Post-Cleaning Care
After using ACTIVE Coffee Maker Cleaner, you should:
- Run at least one cycle with just water to rinse any residual cleaning solution
- Wipe down all accessible parts of the machine with a damp cloth
- Leave it open to air dry before reassembling
Maintaining Different Types of Coffee Makers
Our coffee machine cleaning tablets are great because they’re highly versatile and can be used to maintain a variety of coffee makers, including traditional espresso machines and modern single-serve machines.
Espresso Machines
Espresso machines, like all coffee makers, require regular cleaning to function properly.
By using ACTIVE Coffee Machine Cleaning Tablets, you’ll be able to remove mineral buildup and coffee oils with ease, which helps enhance the taste of your espresso. That way, you can enjoy an authentic barista experience, right in the comfort of your home.
Single-Serve Coffee Machines
Single-serve coffee machines, with their convenience and speed, have become a popular choice among coffee enthusiasts for a quick cup. However, they too need regular maintenance.
With our cleaner tablets, maintaining these machines becomes a breeze. Simply fill the water reservoir, drop in a tablet, and let the machine do the rest. For machines that are used normally (1-2 brews per day), it is recommended to run a cleaning cycle with an ACTIVE tablet twice a month.
When to Clean: Understanding the Signs
Recognizing when to clean your coffee maker is as crucial as understanding the cleaning process itself.
Signs that it’s time to clean your coffee maker include:
- Visible accumulation around the pot or basket
- Presence of off-flavored coffee
- Decrease in coffee quality, such as weak or watery coffee
- Bitter or gritty taste
If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to clean with ACTIVE.
Maximizing the Benefits of Your Coffee Cleaning Routine

Creating a Cleaning Schedule
Establishing a regular cleaning schedule will ensure that your coffee maker maintains optimal performance. Not only that, but it will also prevent the accumulation of coffee grounds and oils, therefore preserving the superior taste of your coffee.
For the best results, we recommend using ACTIVE Coffee Maker Cleaning Tablets twice every month.
Accessorize Your Cleaning
To enhance your cleaning routine, consider adding a few accessories. For example, filters, descalers, brushes, and cloths can augment the cleaning power of cleaning tablets.
Filters and Descalers
Filters and descalers make for a perfect pair when it comes to coffee maker cleaning. Filters remove impurities from the water, protecting your coffee machine from corrosion, while descalers work specifically on mineral buildup, enhancing the effectiveness of the cleaning.
It is recommended to replace both filters and descalers around once a month when using ACTIVE Coffee Maker Cleaner Tablets. That helps ensure the best cleaning outcome.
Brushes and Cloths
Brushes and microfiber cloths are great for the finishing touches.
Brushes help clean hard-to-reach areas, while cloths are perfect for wiping down the coffee maker, giving it a clean and shiny finish. Don’t forget to check the link between the carafe and the brewing unit as well as debris tends to accumulate in that area.
Cleaning Your Coffee Maker
As you can see, the process itself is quite straightforward; you just need the right tools.

Remember, regular cleaning will enhance your coffee experience and prolong the life of your coffee maker. So, why wait? Start your cleaning routine with ACTIVE Coffee Maker Cleaner today and taste the difference in your next cup of coffee!

The coffee mahine we’ve had for 7 years was alays in need of cleaning, often sputtering and brewing at a sluggish pace despite our efforts with various home remedies, even with filtered water. After using a specialized coffee machine cleaner, it’s now working like new.

Descaling my Keurig has always been a chore I dislike, mainly because other products are overpriced and home reedies don’t work. These tablets are easy to use! While it takes a moment for the tablet to dissolve (I recommed letting it mix into the water), they do an excellent job. my morning coffee has significantly improved!

I’ve used their washing machine tabs for a year, effectively eliminating moldy smells from forgotten loads. I decided to try these tablets in my Technivorm Mocca Master, where the plastic water reservoir becomes quite scaley after two months of daily use. The tablets dissolve like Alka-Seltzer, creating a cloudy solution. After a 30-minute coffee cycle, the scale buildup was still noticeable. I used a second tab as suggested, and while there was slight improvement, significant scale remained even after an hour of sitting and stirring. I then switched to my usual bulk powder descaler, which functioned perfectly. I won’t buy this product again and will stick to their washing machine tabs.

I adhered to the box instructions twice, yet the red “clean” light on the machine remained illuminated. Ultimately, I had to use vinegar to resolve the issue.

I bought these for my Miele Superautomatic Coffee Machine because of the attractive price for a large quantity. Upon receiving them, I noticed they are only half to a third the size of Miele brand tablets, making me feel like I need to use two at once, effectively halving the advertised duration. During my first use, the tablets didn’t fully dissolve in the water tank, leaving chunks at the bottom after the descaling cycle. Since Miele tablets dissolve completely without residue, I was concerned that my machine might have drawn in those undissolved pieces, but luckily there were no negative effects. I’ll try them again during the next descaling cycle, but if they don’t dissolve, I’ll likely return to Miele, despite the higher cost.

Disappointing experience with these “cleaners.” The tablet wouldn’t dissolve no matter how long I let it sit in water, and breaking it up with a knife didn’t help. I may have received a defective batch, as I discarded three tablets for the same reason. Switching to another brand worked perfectly. I don’t understand the positive reviews. UPDATE: Despite my issues, the supplier issued a full refund months after the return period, which deserves an A+.

Great product that delivers. I had given up on my Keurig due to ineffective descaling, resulting in bad coffee. This product is easy to use, and it successfully descaled my machine, improving my coffee’s flavor significantly.

After reading the reviews, I decided to purchase this product, and it functioned well for me. It was effective in both the Keurig and electric kettle. I used one tablet in the Keurig reservoir, ran a cycle, and poured the cups into the kettle, which removed hard water stains effectively. One tablet was sufficient for both appliances, and I’m thrilled with the results.

I seldom write reviews, but these tablets are incredible. They’re user-friendly and truly effective. We’ve previously used more expensive liquid descalers, but none compare to these. The package included a personal note from the owner, high lighting their family-run business, which was a lovely touch. We will defniitely be purchasing these again.
