Urnex Tabz Coffee Brewer Cleaning Tablets - 120 Tablets

Not only do these clean my coffee maker, but also they are a very fast and efficient toilet bowl chemical! I kid you not. Add one tablet to the bowl, let it dissolve, a quick swish with the brush and done!

I have a Mocha Master drip coffee maker with a stainless steel, double-walled carafe. I wash it out daily with plain water after all the coffee has been drunk, but don’t clean it with dish cleaner very often. When I first noticed a build-up of brown deposits in the carafe, I tried all of the ordinary consumer cleaning products, including using them with a scrubbing brush and very hot water. None of my cleaning efforts worked, at all. In gourmet supply shops, single shots of specialty carafe cleaner were priced from about $ 7 to $10. I looked elsewhere and discovered Urnex Tabz on Amazon. 120 tabs for about $11.95 delivered in 2012 (only $11.50 now, in 2018). Still using tabs from the original bottle. Best coffee pot cleaning agent I have ever found. Use one tab for regular cleaning of a 1.6 liter carafe, but 2 tabs for the first cleaning of your carafe or if the carafe ever looks beyond hope. Use a filter and put two tabs in the filter holder the first time, and fill reservoir with clean water and run a cycle into the coffee carafe; after the hot water (w/ dissolved tabs) is in the carafe, put a top on the carafe to keep it hot, and leave it alone for 30 minutes. Come back, and pour it out and see how clean the inside of the carafe is. Use a bottle brush or dish scrubbing brush to brush away anything that is left. If you save the solution you poured out of the carafe, you can pour it back in after the inspection to get even more impressive results from the brushes. After cleaning, wash filter holder and carafe in clean water and allow them to dry. For those concerned about cleaning the inside of the reservoir, etc., fill the reservoir with vinegar first, run a cycle with vinegar, then a cycle or two with clean water to remove vinegar from the system. Do this after using the Tabz product.

I bought it to clean my cuisinart 12 cup coffee maker. First, as others have said, there were no written instructions in English. I did peel the corner back to get to the second page and still no directions. There are pictures as directions, but of course they don’t depict my coffee pot. I went on You Tube and watched a woman who talked in liters. Again without anything pertaining to my particular coffee maker. But I did the liters to cups math and put in a tablet and a half. It worked, but not well enough so I dropped another tablet and a half in the basket and filled it with water and ran it again. Then two rinses and it looks brand spanking’ new. I’m extremely happy. Next time I will start with 2 full tablets to my 12 cup coffee maker. Then two cycles with just water. If that doesn’t work I’ll up it to 3. Highly recommend this product. Just have to figure out how to get it to clean my Yeti’s. Maybe boiling water into a tablet sitting in the yeti and then a run through the dishwasher??

We have coffee pots at a church that have never been properly cleaned because the opening of the pot is so small we can't get inside the pot to thoroughly clean. These tablets made a big difference - not perfectly cleaned but a drastic improvement. Since these pots have NEVER been properly cleaned I think its going to take several trys over time to get them totally cleaned . I did use them on my home coffee pots and they worked fantastic but my pots can be cleaned by hand thoroughly so when they get dirty its only one layer of coffee grim to clean not years worth like the church coffee pots. I think its a great product over all...

Pros: It cleans coffee stains extremely well. Not caustic or extremely hazardous. After use a good rinsing is all that is needed. It's very economical. There's 120 tablets in the container and cleaning is only needed every few weeks. Cons: None, unless you need something that works in 10 minutes. I bought these to clean a narrow-mouthed steel thermos we use daily for brewed coffee. In the past I used another cleaner which is no longer available, and have been looking for another cleaning agent for a couple of years. In the meantime, the inside of the thermos had turned black from accumulated stains and deposits. Nothing I have tried cleaned it well. I avoided a couple of products that may have worked but were covered with warnings strong enough to encourage one to wear a hazmat suit because they were so caustic and poisonous. This stuff will "irritate the skin and eyes" but is far less toxic, so I thought it was worth a shot. Before bed I filled the thermos with very hot water, leaving a little space at the top, and dropped in one tablet. After a few minutes I shook the contents thoroughly, then topped off the thermos and sealed the lid. The next morning I poured out an ugly brown stew. After rinsing the thermos thoroughly, I found the inside to be perfectly clean, except for a little remaining buildup around a small rim at the bottom. A little brushing would likely have removed that bit. I'll do that next time. Highly recommended!

This is by far the easiest AND most effective solution I've found for cleaning a drip coffee maker. For several years, I've had a maker with a tall stainless insulated urn. It is very hard to see how clean it is, and harder to scrub all the nooks and crannies. I drop one of these tablets into the filter basket and turn on the machine. I keep the urn out until the basket is filled higher with the solution than it ever fills with coffee, then I put the urn in. The filter basket drains, and the brewing cycle completes. I wait about 5 minutes. I rinse out the filter basket. I pour out about half the solution in the urn. What comes out is somewhat blue and PLENTY brown. I scrub out the urn. What comes out is nearly black. I look inside the urn and it looks like new. If it doesn't, I repeat the process. I've never had to use more than 2 tabs, and that was only once, when I let it go 4 months between cleanings (normally monthly for me). We make 1 pot on a weekday and 2 on the weekend for our family. My last cofee maker I threw out after 10 years of faithful service because the coffee oil residue had become so built up you couldn't make a decent pot of coffee anymore. If I'd known about this stuff at the time, I'd probably still have that coffee maker. If you do the math, this stuff is incredibly cheap. Each tablet is about 20 cents. Most households will only need one every month or two, so this jar will probably last you 10 years or more.

Love the F61 tablets and have been using for quite some time. However, what I received from Amazon after ordering the F61 tablets pictured here, were the Z61 tablets…not what I ordered.

We run through 4-5 airpots full of coffee at our office every day. Cleaning these pots is nigh impossible. They don't run through the dishwasher, the tiny hole makes it extremely difficult to clean the inside of the airpot with any kind of brush, sponge, or towel, and running soapy water through them clearly doesn't remove all the coffee oils. After months of use the inside of our stainless pots was coated in a thick layer of brown, stale, coffee oil. It was getting disgusting and the coffee coming out of these pots started to taste terrible. After some reading on how to clean these kinds of pots, I came across these Urnex Tabz. These things are fantastic. When it's cleaning time we drain the pot, plop in a tab, fill it with hot water, let it sit for about five minutes, drain and then rinse the pot. Afterwards the inside is shiny stainless again, no more brown residue. The coffee taste better too. Highly recommended.
