These precision-formulated 2g tablets are specifically engineered for use in superautomatic espresso machines and are equally effective for backflushing traditional machines with a three-way valve. The controlled-solubility formula dissolves at the right rate to thoroughly clean portafilters, brew groups, and internal lines — removing the coffee oils and residue that degrade flavor and machine performance over time. NSF certified for metal compatibility and safety, and OMRI listed for use in organic production environments, Cafiza tablets are the trusted standard for professional espresso machine maintenance. The 200-count jar is sized for high-volume commercial operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry-Standard Espresso Cleaning Formula\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cafiza has been the go-to espresso machine cleaner for commercial baristas and café operators for decades, trusted in over 70 countries worldwide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigned for Superautomatic Espresso Machines\u003c\/strong\u003e — Specifically sized and formulated for the delivery chambers of a wide range of commercial and domestic fully automatic espresso machines, including Franke Evolution and Egro models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlso Ideal for Traditional Machine Backflushing\u003c\/strong\u003e — Compatible with traditional espresso machines equipped with a three-way valve for standard backflush cleaning routines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControlled Solubility Formula\u003c\/strong\u003e — Dissolves at a precisely calibrated rate for effective, thorough cleaning with easy, complete rinsing — no residue left behind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemoves Coffee Oils from Brew Groups, Portafilters \u0026amp; Lines\u003c\/strong\u003e — Targets the oils, grounds, and residue that accumulate inside group heads, brew chambers, and internal machine lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNSF Certified for Metal Compatibility \u0026amp; Safety\u003c\/strong\u003e — Tested and confirmed safe for use with metal machine components and certified as a food-safe detergent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOMRI Listed\u003c\/strong\u003e — Approved by the Organic Materials Review Institute for use in certified organic production environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision-Pressed 2g Tablet Format\u003c\/strong\u003e — Each tablet weighs exactly 2g and measures 15mm in diameter, eliminating dosing guesswork and reducing waste\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e200 Tablets Per Jar\u003c\/strong\u003e — A high-count commercial supply designed for busy café and multi-machine bar environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlso Use for Parts Soaking\u003c\/strong\u003e — Dissolve tablets in warm water to create a soaking solution for portafilter baskets and the metal portions of portafilters\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ep-shopify.s3.amazonaws.com\/related-documents\/urnex\/cafiza31\/cafiza-e31-instructions.pdf\" title=\"cafiza e31 safety data\"\u003eSafety Data\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ep-shopify.s3.amazonaws.com\/related-documents\/urnex\/cafiza31\/cafiza-e31-instructions.pdf\" title=\"cafiza e31 instructions\"\u003eInstructions\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ep-shopify.s3.amazonaws.com\/related-documents\/urnex\/cafiza31\/cafiza-e31-ingredients.pdf\" title=\"cafizae31 ingredients\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eIngredients\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor Superautomatic Espresso Machines:\u003c\/strong\u003e Follow your machine manufacturer's cleaning cycle instructions.
