After cleaning my espresso machine, I noticed that the lever was moving a bit more stiffly. Is this normal?
You may notice that after cleaning with Clean Express cleaning powder, the lever of your espresso machine operates a little less smoothly. This is because the powder rinses away any lubricants. We recommend lubricating moving parts such as the lever mechanism again with a suitable food-grade silicone grease, such as Molykote 111, after backflushing.
How much cleaning powder do I need per use?
For backflushing the group, use one teaspoon of Clean Express cleaning powder in the blind filter. To soak filters and filter holders, dissolve about one tablespoon per litre of hot water. Always follow your coffee machine manufacturer's instructions for the best results.
The cleaning tablets do not always dissolve completely in my coffee machine. What can I do to improve this?
Some customers notice that the tablets do not fully dissolve in certain coffee machines. We recommend placing the tablet right at the back of the cleaning compartment, or if necessary, breaking the tablet into smaller pieces before use. This will help the tablet dissolve more quickly and ensure the cleaning programme runs optimally.
Are these tablets as effective as the original cleaning tablets from well-known brands?
According to many of our customers, Clean Express works just as well as the original cleaning tablets from well-known brands. The performance is considered equivalent: your machine will be clean again and the coffee flavour is not affected. For the best possible cleaning result, place the tablet correctly or break it if necessary.
The tablets appear smaller than the original cleaning tablets. Is the effectiveness comparable?
Yes, although the Clean Express tablets are smaller than some original tablets from other brands, their cleaning performance is excellent. Several customers say that they clean their machine well and offer a good alternative to the original tablets.
Is this descaling powder suitable for my Senseo machine?
Yes, the Café du Jour Descaling Powder is perfectly suitable for all types of coffee and espresso machines with a water reservoir, including Senseo devices. Many customers use this product specifically for their Senseo and are very satisfied with the result. When descaling your Senseo, place a used pad in the pad holder to filter out limescale residues even more effectively.
Can I use this package to discover which flavour suits me, even if I don’t yet know what I like?
Yes, this tasting pack is ideal for coffee drinkers who want to find out what they like. You can try several small quantities at your leisure, making it easier to choose a favourite for a larger pack afterwards. The different regions offer something for everyone: from fruity to spicy to chocolatey.
How would you describe the flavour and strength of Segafredo Caffè Crema Dolce coffee beans?
Segafredo Caffè Crema Dolce is a well-balanced blend with an intensity of 7 out of 13, which we class as strong. The coffee has an aromatic, rounded flavour. Reviews show that it is approachable and forms a beautiful crema layer.
Can the descaling powder also be used in kettles?
Yes, the Café du Jour descaling powder is also suitable for descaling kettles. Fill your kettle with one litre of water and add one sachet. Bring the mixture to the boil, leave it to stand for 10 minutes and then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Does this coffee produce a nice crema layer?
Yes, according to reviews, Segafredo Caffè Crema Dolce produces a beautiful and creamy crema layer. This contributes to the authentic taste experience of a true Italian Caffè Crema.
Can I also use the Clean Express tablets to manually clean my coffee machine or individual parts?
Yes, you can crush a tablet and dissolve it in warm water to clean loose parts such as filters, brew groups or milk frothers. Let these parts soak for a while and then rinse them thoroughly with clean water.
Are these coffee beans suitable for every type of coffee machine?
These beans are suitable for all machines that work with whole beans: fully automatic machines, semi-automatic machines and portafilter machines. They are not suitable for pod and capsule machines. The roast is medium, so the beans work well in the machines mentioned above.
Is this coffee suitable for milk specialities such as cappuccino or latte macchiato?
Yes, these coffee beans are perfectly suited for milk-based specialities. The smooth, rounded flavour and beautiful crema layer ensure that drinks such as latte macchiato and cappuccino are shown to their best advantage.
Is this descaling powder a good alternative to branded descalers?
Yes, according to our customers, the Café du Jour descaling powder is an effective alternative to brand-specific descalers. It works just as well and cleans thoroughly.
How often can I use the Clean Express cleaning powder without causing damage to my machine?
You can use the Clean Express cleaning powder every 2 to 3 months, depending on the intensity of your coffee preparation and the type of machine. The frequency of chemical backflushing also depends on usage; for normal household use, every 3 months is usually sufficient. Make sure to lubricate moving parts after cleaning if necessary.
