Urnex Cafiza 2g Tabs — Espresso Cleaning Tablets (100 × 2g)

Keep your espresso workflow tasting its best with Urnex Cafiza 2g Tabs (100 × 2 g) — a professional-grade cleaning solution used by specialty cafés and home baristas for reliable daily maintenance. Cafiza tablets were engineered to dissolve quickly and attack baked-on coffee oils, trapped grounds and film that build up inside group heads, valve seats and other internal paths. Left unchecked, these residues cause uneven extraction, bitterness and clogged passages; Cafiza returns your machine to a clean baseline so you get predictable dose, flow and flavour shot after shot.

The tablet format makes dosing simple and repeatable: each tablet is precisely 2.0 g so you can use a known quantity for backflushing or to prepare soaking solutions for portafilters, baskets and screens. For routine back-flush cleaning of traditional espresso machines, Cafiza lifts away oils and deposits that ordinary rinsing can’t remove. For removable parts, dissolve tablets in warm water to create an active soaking bath that loosens residues and speeds manual cleaning. Because the formula is concentrated, a small amount goes a long way — which helps cafés and service teams keep machines performing well with minimal downtime.

Performance is matched with safety and compatibility: Cafiza is formulated to be NSF-compatible for metal parts and is widely used across commercial and household espresso machines. However, it is a cleaning chemical and carries standard handling precautions — the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) indicates eye and skin irritation hazards, so use gloves and eye protection when handling concentrated solutions and always rinse parts thoroughly after cleaning. When used exactly as recommended by the machine and product instructions, Cafiza cleans effectively without damaging group heads, valves or seals.

For operators who track maintenance schedules, Cafiza fits easily into daily and weekly cleaning protocols. A quick backflush with a tablet between services, combined with a scheduled soak of portafilters and baskets, keeps extraction stable and reduces the need for deep mechanical intervention. Its compact 100-tablet jar is ideal for busy back-of-house storage on shelves or in service kits, while case packs and smaller boxed options are available for trial or low-use situations.

Who this is for & use cases
Urnex Cafiza 2g Tabs are ideal for café owners, baristas, service technicians and serious home users who want a simple, effective way to preserve espresso quality. Typical use cases include:

• Daily backflushing of commercial and domestic espresso machines to remove oils from the group and brew path.
• Preparing cleaning soaks for portafilters, baskets, shower screens and metal parts to remove compacted grounds and oil residue.
• Quick maintenance checks before peak service to stabilise extraction and reduce the risk of clogs or uneven flow.
• Service kits for technicians who perform routine preventive maintenance across multiple machines.

How to use

1. Follow your espresso machine manufacturer’s recommended cleaning procedure. For many traditional machines: insert blank filter, add one 2 g Cafiza tablet into the blind basket, run the brew cycle for ~10 seconds, stop and repeat the cycle several times, then rinse by running multiple cycles with fresh water.
2. For soaking: dissolve recommended number of tablets in warm water per the spec sheet to create a soaking solution for portafilters and removable parts; soak as directed, then rinse thoroughly.
3. Always wear gloves and eye protection when handling concentrated solutions; consult the SDS for first-aid and spill procedures.
4. After cleaning, run plain water cycles to ensure all residue is flushed before returning to service.
