Urnex Full Circle Coffee Grinder Cleaning Tablets - 3 Single Use Packets - Coffee Grinder Cleaner Removes Coffee Residue and Oils

I have the Baratza encore burr grinder and have used it fairly regularly for the last eight years without ever cleaning it. It always seems to work and my coffee always tastes pretty good. If the taste may sometimes be off, I attribute that to perhaps the blend of the coffee or maybe my taste buds just being a little bit off on a certain day. I just never saw any reason to go into any kind of deep cleaning with the unit.The machine jammed once because I neglected to empty the basket while grinding. I was quite intimidated, but found a video that explained how to clear it up and though a little bit of a pain in the neck and a little bit messy, I was able to clear the pathway for grinding.This happened again recently, and although I cleared up the blockage of backed up beans and grime, there was still a fair amount of residue on the parts and I decided to try out these cleaning tablets.It worked! Although it is a somewhat involved process, you have to run a cup of coffee through the machine and then take apart the machine and clean some of the parts, everything now seems sparkling clean.I am not sure if this translates to better tasting coffee or not, I haven’t noticed any kind of magical difference.I am not sure if there is any alternative that is less expensive for cleaning your grinder. This is simply a packet containing a few tablets and it almost looks like it could/should cost just a dollar or two per packet.But it does work and leaves your machine looking nice and clean. The grinder is definitely working better after using the cleaning tablets, faster, smoother and more precise grinding.

Each time I clean my electric coffee bean grinder in accordance with manufacturer instructions, I grind one packet of this product through the grinder. This removes more oil from the parts I can manually clean, and from interior parts I can't access at all.You need a more refined sense of taste than I have to tell if using this product actually makes your brewed coffee taste better. I use it because the grinder manufacturer recommends doing so to improve grinder operation and durability.Also, be aware that any time you use this product, you need to sacrifice enough beans for several cups of coffee to clear out all residue from this product.

It did a great job at removing oils and cleaning residue that causes off-taste. My only question is why it's priced at almost twice that of its sister product, Grindz by Urnex. I ordered the Grindz product and will compare it during next month's cleaning!

I don’t always have the time to do a complete cleaning but I love using these when needed.

I ran a packet through the grinder and it worked very well. I ran some beans through to clear the remaining cleaner. My coffee tends to have some static when it needs cleaning and the grounds tend to fly around. Problem solved.

The product was easy to use...just open the packet and pour into the grinder and turn in on. It didn't take long to go through. Probably 15 - 20 seconds on regular/medium grind. Then I ground 70 gm of coffee beans which took a while to do. I opened the top of my coffee bean grinder (Shardor) and I could still see bits of the cleaning tablet down inside of the grinder?? (I should have taken a picture of it) So I took it out to my shop and used the compressor to blow out all the bits of left over tablet and some coffee grounds. Did it clean the grinder... I guess so but it sure left a bit of stuff behind. I was not impressed. I will take my grinder apart and clean with a stiff brush and the compressor. I wish it had worked better because it would have been lot less work.

Glad to find this item, recommended by the manufacturer of my Technivorm Moccamaster Coffee Grinder. Place one packet in the grinder every three months to clean (and clear out) the inside of the grinder.

My Baraza Encore was clogging constantly as a result of coffee oils building up in the exit chute. Putting a bag of these cleaning tablets through once a month or so has worked wonders and the grinder hasn’t clogged since. Kind of expensive for what appears to essentially be compacted corn meal, but it does the job.
