Urnex

Urnex Cafe Wipz are pre-moistened cleaning wipes designed specifically for coffee equipment. Formulated with cationic detergents, they cut through milk residue and coffee oils quickly — making them a practical choice for wiping down group heads, steam wands, portafilters, drip trays, and external surfaces between uses or at close of service.

In a busy café or coffee bar environment, surface hygiene around the machine needs to be quick and consistent. These wipes allow staff to clean contact surfaces without interrupting workflow — no mixing solutions, no separate cloths, no cross-contamination concerns. The fragrance-free formulation is an important consideration where coffee quality matters, as scented products can taint equipment and affect the flavour of drinks served immediately after cleaning.

• Removes milk and coffee residue without harsh scrubbing
• Fragrance-free — no risk of tainting beverages
• Ready to use — no dilution or preparation needed
• Suitable for external machine surfaces, steam wands, and drip trays
• Gentle enough for regular use without skin irritation risk

These wipes are well suited to cafés, coffee shops, hotel breakfast stations, and any site where staff are managing espresso equipment through a busy service period. For deep internal cleaning of boilers and group heads, a dedicated backflush detergent or descaler remains necessary — Cafe Wipz are a surface and residue product rather than an internal cleaning solution.

If you are putting together a cleaning kit for a new machine installation or reviewing your current hygiene routine, the team is happy to advise on what combination of products tends to work well in practice.

Cafiza is a well-established espresso machine cleaning powder from Urnex, widely used in cafés, restaurants, hotels and any commercial setting running espresso equipment. It is designed to break down and remove the coffee oils and residue that accumulate in group heads, valves, and internal lines — deposits that build up quickly under heavy use and that plain water rinsing will not shift.

In a busy service environment, coffee oil residue is one of the most common causes of off-flavours, inconsistent extraction, and blocked valves. Regular backflushing with Cafiza helps maintain consistent shot quality and keeps the machine performing as it should between scheduled engineer services. It is suitable for use with most commercial espresso machine brands and is formulated to dissolve cleanly, leaving minimal foam and rinsing out thoroughly without tainting subsequent shots.

• Removes coffee oils and residue from group heads and internal lines
• Helps maintain consistent extraction and shot quality over time
• Dissolves thoroughly, supporting clean rinsing without flavour taint
• Simple to use as part of a daily or end-of-service cleaning routine
• Suitable for most commercial espresso machine makes and models

At 566g, this is a practical working size for a single-site operation. Higher-volume venues running multiple group machines will likely need to order more frequently or consider a larger format. The powder is straightforward to integrate into an existing cleaning schedule and requires no specialist training to use.

If you have questions about cleaning frequency, compatibility with your specific machine, or what else your coffee station setup might need, we are happy to help you work it out.

Urnex Tabz are pre-measured 4g cleaning tablets formulated to remove coffee oils, tannins and residue from brew baskets, serving vessels, airpots and glass bowls. Each tablet dissolves in water to produce a cleaning solution that works through contact, requiring no measuring or guesswork from staff.

In busy catering and hospitality environments, coffee equipment that isn't cleaned regularly will accumulate bitter-tasting oil residue that affects flavour and, over time, can harbour bacteria in serving vessels and airpots. A consistent cleaning routine using a purpose-formulated product like Tabz helps maintain both hygiene standards and beverage quality across the service day.

The tablet format offers a few practical advantages over liquid or powder alternatives:

• Pre-dosed tablets eliminate over- or under-dosing by staff
• Built-in blue safety dye gives a visible rinse indicator, confirming the vessel is safe to use
• Compact packaging is easy to store near equipment without spillage risk
• Consistent dosing reduces chemical waste and keeps running costs predictable

Tabz require no specialist equipment or training to use — staff soak, rinse and confirm clearance via the dye indicator. They are suited to filter coffee brewers, batch brewers, thermal servers and glass carafes commonly found in hotels, staff canteens, cafés and conference facilities. They are not formulated for espresso machine group heads or boiler descaling, which require different chemistry.

A pack of 120 tablets suits sites with moderate to high coffee throughput, providing a reasonable stock without the need for frequent reordering. Sites running multiple brewers or high-volume banqueting service may find it worth keeping additional stock on hand.

If you're unsure whether Tabz are the right cleaning solution for your specific equipment, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.

Rinza M61 tablets from Urnex are a tablet-format cleaning solution designed specifically for the milk-contact components of professional coffee machines. Each tablet dissolves in water to produce a cleaning solution that targets the milk residue and protein build-up that accumulates in steam wands, milk valves, and internal tubing during normal service.

In a busy café or restaurant environment, milk residue builds up quickly and is one of the more stubborn hygiene challenges on espresso and bean-to-cup machines. Left unaddressed, it affects flavour, creates blockages, and presents a food hygiene risk. A consistent cleaning routine using a purpose-made product keeps milk circuits clear and helps maintain drink quality throughout the day.

The tablets contain a cationic surfactant formulation suited to breaking down milk proteins and fats. Practical advantages for front-of-house and back-bar teams include:

• Tablet format — pre-measured doses reduce waste and guesswork
• Compatible with steam wands, milk valves, and tubes across many common coffee machine brands
• Dissolves readily in water for a straightforward cleaning process
• A pack of 120 tablets supports ongoing use without frequent reordering

These tablets are intended for use on professional equipment only and should be used in accordance with the machine manufacturer's cleaning guidance. They are not a descaler and do not substitute for the separate descaling or group head cleaning routines that espresso machines also require.

Rinza M61 tablets are well suited to cafés, coffee shops, hotel breakfast operations, and any site running espresso or bean-to-cup machines with milk frothing capability. If you are unsure which cleaning products are appropriate for your specific machines, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.

Dezcal is a dedicated descaling powder from Urnex, a brand well established in the commercial beverage equipment sector. Each sachet contains 200g of activated scale remover formulated specifically to break down limescale deposits inside hot water tanks, boilers, heating elements, and the internal pipework of espresso machines and other beverage equipment.

Limescale is a persistent problem in commercial kitchens, particularly in hard-water areas, and its effects on coffee equipment are cumulative. Left untreated, scale narrows flow paths, forces heating elements to work harder, extends heat-up and recovery times, and ultimately shortens the working life of equipment that represents a significant investment. Regular descaling with a purpose-made product like Dezcal addresses this at the source rather than managing the symptoms.

The powder dissolves to produce an acidic solution effective at dissolving calcium and magnesium deposits without requiring extended soak times. It is odour-free and rinses cleanly, which matters in beverage applications where any residual taint would affect the cup. Key practical points include:

• Formulated specifically for beverage equipment — not a general-purpose acid cleaner
• Odour-free and rinses without residue, protecting drink quality
• Helps restore flow rates and thermal efficiency in scaled components
• Suitable for use in espresso machines, hot water boilers, and similar systems

This is a single-sachet product, practical for smaller operations or for kitchens that descale on a scheduled basis and prefer to keep stock lean. Sites running multiple high-volume machines will typically descale more frequently and may find it more practical to source Dezcal in larger multi-sachet formats.

If you are unsure how frequently your equipment should be descaled, or whether Dezcal is compatible with a specific machine model, the team is happy to advise.

Dezcal is a dedicated descaling powder from Urnex, formulated specifically for commercial coffee machines, hot water boilers, and other beverage equipment. It works by dissolving limescale deposits that accumulate inside heating elements, boilers, and water pathways over time — deposits that, left untreated, reduce thermal efficiency, restrict water flow, and accelerate component wear.

In hard water areas particularly, scale build-up is a persistent operational problem. A scaled boiler takes longer to reach temperature, draws more energy to maintain it, and delivers inconsistent water temperatures that affect extraction quality. Regular descaling with an effective product is one of the more straightforward ways to protect a coffee machine investment and keep drink quality consistent through a busy service.

Dezcal is odourless and rinses away cleanly, which matters in a beverage context — any residual scent or taste from a cleaning product will transfer directly into the drink. The powder format dissolves readily and the formula is designed to be active against scale without requiring extended dwell times.

• Dissolves limescale from boilers, tanks, and internal water pathways
• Odourless formula — no taint risk to finished beverages
• Rinses away cleanly without lengthy flushing cycles
• Suitable for espresso machines, filter brewers, and hot water boilers
• 900g container supports multiple descaling cycles

The 900g size is practical for sites running regular descaling schedules across one or two machines. Higher-volume operations with multiple beverage units may find it more cost-effective to consider larger format options.

If you're unsure how frequently your equipment should be descaled given your local water hardness, or whether Dezcal is compatible with a specific machine, the team is happy to advise.

Cafiza E42 is a well-established espresso machine cleaning tablet from Urnex, widely used in commercial coffee environments to remove the coffee oils, grounds residue and organic build-up that accumulate in group heads, valves and internal lines over the course of a busy service. Each tablet weighs 3g, providing a consistent, pre-measured dose every time.

In a high-volume coffee operation, residue build-up is one of the most common causes of off-tasting espresso and premature wear on group head components. Regular backflushing with a reliable chemical cleaner is standard practice in well-run sites, and the tablet format removes the guesswork from dosing — reducing the risk of under- or over-dosing that can come with powder or liquid alternatives.

• Pre-measured tablets ensure consistent dosing with no weighing or measuring
• Effectively removes coffee oils and residue from group heads and valves
• Tablet format reduces operator error during routine cleaning cycles
• Pack of 200 provides a practical stock quantity for busy sites
• Compatible with backflush cleaning routines on commercial espresso machines

There are no special installation or utility requirements — these tablets are used as part of your machine's standard cleaning cycle. Storage is straightforward given the compact pack dimensions. It is worth confirming compatibility with your specific machine manufacturer's guidelines, as some equipment warranties specify approved cleaning products.

This pack is well suited to cafés, restaurants, hotels and contract catering operations running commercial espresso machines through regular daily service. For very high-volume sites operating multiple machines, it is worth considering whether a larger pack size or bulk supply arrangement would be more practical.

If you are unsure which cleaning products are appropriate for your specific equipment, or how to build a cleaning schedule around your service pattern, we are happy to talk it through.

Urnex Grindz are food-safe cleaning tablets formulated specifically for coffee grinders. Used as part of a routine cleaning cycle, they work through the burrs and internal casings to break down the oils and fine coffee particles that accumulate with regular use. Stale coffee residue is one of the more common causes of off-flavours in the cup, and it tends to build up gradually without obvious visual signs — making a consistent cleaning routine more important than it might appear.

In a busy café, restaurant, or hotel operation where grinders run continuously through service, that residue builds quickly. Grindz tablets give staff a straightforward, low-skill method of keeping grinders clean between more thorough maintenance intervals. The tablet format controls dosing automatically, which reduces the variability that can come with powder or liquid alternatives and makes the process easier to standardise across a team.

• Removes coffee oils and fine grounds from burrs and internal surfaces
• Helps prevent stale flavour carry-over between brews
• Tablet format reduces operator error and ensures consistent dosing
• Food-safe formulation suitable for use in licensed and food-service premises
• Simple enough for daily or end-of-service use without specialist training

Grindz tablets are compatible with most commercial burr grinders. Always follow the grinder manufacturer's guidance on cleaning frequency and confirm compatibility before use if you have any doubt — some grinder manufacturers specify approved cleaning products in their maintenance schedules.

The 430g pack is well suited to sites running one or two grinders, though higher-volume operations with multiple machines may prefer to source in larger quantities. If you're unsure how to work Grindz into your existing cleaning schedule, the team is happy to advise.

Cafiza E31 from Urnex is a widely used espresso machine cleaning tablet, formulated to break down the coffee oils and residue that accumulate in group heads, solenoid valves and internal lines during normal service. Each tablet weighs 2g, providing a fixed dose per cleaning cycle rather than relying on staff to measure loose powder or liquid cleaner.

In busy café and hospitality environments, espresso machines are put through a significant number of cycles each service. Coffee oils are naturally sticky and, if left unchecked, build up quickly in the group head and portafilter basket. This affects extraction quality and, over time, creates hygiene concerns and additional wear on internal components. Regular backflushing with a Cafiza tablet keeps those pathways clean and helps maintain consistent shot quality throughout the day.

The tablet format offers a few practical advantages over powder or liquid alternatives:

• Fixed 2g dose per tablet removes operator guesswork and reduces product waste
• Compact tablet form is easy to store and portion, even in a busy service environment
• Suitable for use with most commercial espresso machines that support backflushing
• Pack of 100 provides a reasonable working stock for regular daily or end-of-service cleaning routines
• Compatible with Urnex's established cleaning chemistry, which is widely accepted by machine manufacturers

No special equipment or additional chemicals are required — the tablet is placed in the portafilter blind basket and the machine's standard backflush cycle does the work. Cleaning frequency will depend on machine throughput; a high-volume site pulling several hundred covers per day may clean more frequently than a smaller operation.

Cafiza E31 tablets are well suited to cafés, restaurants, hotels and contract catering operations running commercial espresso machines. If you are unsure about cleaning frequency for your specific machine or service volume, the team are happy to advise.

Urnex Cafiza E16 tablets are a widely used backflush cleaning product designed for professional espresso machines. Each tablet delivers a pre-measured dose of cleaning compound that breaks down coffee oils and residue within group heads, solenoid valves, and internal lines. The tablet format removes the guesswork from dosing — staff simply use one tablet per backflush cycle without measuring powders or liquids.

In busy café and hospitality environments, espresso machines accumulate coffee oils and fine grounds quickly. Left unaddressed, this build-up affects extraction quality, introduces unwanted bitterness, and places additional strain on valves and seals. Regular backflushing with Cafiza tablets is a straightforward preventative measure that helps keep machines running consistently throughout the day and extends the service life of the equipment.

From a practical standpoint, the tablet form makes this product well suited to operations where multiple members of staff are responsible for machine maintenance:

• Pre-measured tablets ensure consistent dosing every time
• Eliminates over- or under-dosing errors common with loose powder
• Compact pack stores easily at the machine or in a dry prep area
• Compatible with standard backflush routines on most commercial espresso machines
• Straightforward enough for any trained staff member to use without supervision

One practical consideration: always confirm compatibility with your specific espresso machine before use. Some manufacturers specify approved cleaning products as a condition of warranty, so it is worth checking your machine documentation. Cafiza is widely listed as compatible with many major commercial espresso machine brands, but verification is good practice.

A pack of 100 is a reasonable quantity for a single-group machine in moderate use, covering several weeks of daily cleaning cycles. Higher-volume sites running multiple machines may find they go through stock more quickly and should order accordingly.

If you have questions about cleaning routines for your specific machine or want guidance on frequency for your service volume, our team is happy to help.

Cafiza 2 is a professional-grade cleaning powder from Urnex, formulated specifically for espresso machines. It is designed to break down and remove the coffee oil residue, grounds deposits and organic build-up that accumulate in group heads, solenoid valves, shower screens and internal lines during normal service.

In any commercial setting where espresso machines are running throughout the day, residue builds up faster than most operators expect. Left untreated, it affects extraction quality, shortens the service life of internal components, and can lead to blocked solenoids or sluggish group heads. Regular use of a purpose-made cleaner like Cafiza 2 is standard practice in well-run café and restaurant operations, and is typically required to maintain manufacturer warranties on commercial espresso equipment.

Cafiza 2 dissolves readily in water, rinses cleanly, and leaves no taste or odour residue when machines are flushed correctly after cleaning. The practical benefits for a busy site include:

• Consistent extraction quality maintained between deep cleans
• Reduced risk of blocked valves or restricted water flow
• Supports machine longevity and reduces maintenance callouts
• Straightforward backflush routine suitable for daily end-of-service use

The 900g container suits sites with one or more commercial espresso machines and provides enough product for an extended period of routine cleaning without frequent reordering. It is suitable for use with most commercial group head espresso machines that support a backflush cycle, though it is worth confirming compatibility with your machine manufacturer if you are unsure.

If you have questions about cleaning schedules, product quantities for your volume of service, or compatibility with your existing equipment, the team is happy to help.

Rinza Alkaline is a concentrated cleaning solution formulated specifically for the milk-handling components of espresso and coffee equipment. It is designed to break down milk protein residues and fat deposits that accumulate inside steam wands, automatic milk frothers, and the internal milk circuit tubing found on bean-to-cup and traditional espresso machines.

In a busy café or catering environment, milk residue builds up quickly — particularly during high-volume service periods where steam wands and frothers are in near-constant use. Left untreated, these deposits affect flavour, restrict flow, and provide a breeding ground for bacteria. Regular use of Rinza Alkaline keeps milk circuits clear, helps maintain consistent froth quality, and supports compliance with food hygiene standards.

Practical benefits for daily kitchen and café operations include:

• Breaks down milk proteins and fats that plain water rinsing cannot remove
• Prevents residue build-up that can affect flavour and restrict flow
• Built-in measuring device ensures consistent dosing and avoids waste
• Suitable for both manual steam wands and automatic milk frother systems
• 30 doses per bottle, making it straightforward to manage stock

No specialist installation is required — Rinza Alkaline is used as part of a routine cleaning cycle following manufacturer guidance for your specific machine. The correct dilution ratio matters; always refer to the instructions for the equipment being cleaned, as over- or under-dilution reduces effectiveness. This product is alkaline-formulated and should not be confused with acid-based descalers, which address limescale rather than milk deposits.

This cleaner is well suited to cafés, hotels, contract catering operations, and any site running espresso or bean-to-cup equipment with integrated or separate milk frothing systems. Sites with high milk throughput will get through bottles more quickly and may benefit from buying in case quantities.

If you are unsure which Urnex product is right for your specific machine or cleaning regime, our team is happy to point you in the right direction.

Rinza M90 from Urnex is a tablet-format milk system cleaner designed to dissolve milk protein deposits, fat residues and biofilm from the components that come into contact with milk during service — steam wands, auto-frothing units, valves and internal milk lines. It is a straightforward, well-established product used across cafés, restaurants and hospitality operations where espresso-based drinks are served regularly.

In a busy service environment, milk residue builds up quickly inside frothing equipment. Left unaddressed, this affects flavour, restricts flow through valves and tubes, and creates hygiene risks. Regular use of a dedicated milk system cleaner like Rinza M90 keeps equipment performing consistently and reduces the likelihood of blockages or off-flavours reaching the customer.

The tablet format is particularly practical in a commercial setting:

• Pre-measured 10g tablets eliminate dosing errors and reduce chemical waste
• Consistent concentration every clean, regardless of which staff member carries out the task
• Compact packaging is easy to store and manage in a back-of-house environment
• Suitable for use with auto-frothers, steam wands and steel milk pitchers
• Dissolves milk proteins and fats that standard cleaning products typically miss

No specialist equipment is required for use — the tablets dissolve in water according to the manufacturer's cleaning cycle instructions. They are compatible with most automatic and semi-automatic milk frothing systems, though it is worth confirming compatibility with your specific machine manufacturer if you have any doubt.

Rinza M90 tablets are well suited to any operation serving milk-based drinks at volume — coffee shops, hotel breakfast services, workplace catering and restaurant pass operations. For sites with very high throughput or complex automated milk systems, it is worth discussing cleaning frequency and product selection with us before settling on a routine.

If you are unsure whether this product is the right fit for your equipment or service volume, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to point you in the right direction.

Rinza Acidic from Urnex is a liquid concentrate formulated specifically for cleaning milk frothing equipment. Where standard alkaline cleaners tackle milk residues and fats, this acidic formula targets the mineral scale and calcium deposits that build up over time inside steam wands, auto-frothers, and stainless steel milk pitchers — particularly in areas with hard water.

In a busy coffee or beverage service environment, milk residue and limescale accumulation affects both hygiene and performance. A scaled steam wand loses pressure consistency, which directly impacts the quality of frothed milk and the speed of service. Regular use of an appropriate acidic cleaner helps maintain equipment at the standard it was designed to operate at, reducing the likelihood of blockages or deterioration between scheduled service visits.

From an operational standpoint, Rinza Acidic offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Concentrated formula delivers approximately 33 uses from a single 1.1Ltr bottle, keeping cost-per-clean low
• Built-in measuring device on the bottle supports consistent, accurate dosing and reduces waste
• Acidic action targets limescale and mineral deposits that alkaline cleaners leave behind
• Suitable for steam wands, auto-frothers, and stainless steel milk jugs
• Straightforward to use, which helps staff maintain cleaning routines without specialist training

No installation is required and there are no infrastructure considerations. It is worth keeping Rinza Acidic alongside an alkaline milk system cleaner such as Urnex's own Rinza Alkaline variant, as the two products address different types of residue and are typically used in rotation for a thorough cleaning regime.

This product is well suited to cafés, restaurants, hotels, and contract catering operations running espresso or bean-to-cup equipment with milk frothing capability. For sites with very high beverage volumes or multiple machines, it is worth reviewing whether a larger-format supply would be more practical.

If you are unsure which cleaning products are appropriate for your specific equipment or water conditions, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Urnex Scoopz is a dedicated cleaning brush designed for routine maintenance of espresso machines. It is used to clear ground coffee residue from group heads, portafilter baskets, and the surrounding gasket area — a task that needs doing consistently during and after service to keep espresso quality consistent and equipment running cleanly.

In a busy café or kitchen environment, coffee oils and fine grounds accumulate quickly around the group head and basket rim. A purpose-made brush makes this a quick, habitual part of the workflow rather than something that gets overlooked. The Scoopz is well suited to that kind of daily-use role.

• Removes ground coffee residue from group heads and portafilter baskets
• Supports consistent espresso extraction by keeping contact surfaces clean
• Compact enough to keep close to the machine during service
• Designed for repeated daily use in commercial settings

This is a straightforward accessory with no installation requirements. It is worth keeping a spare on hand, particularly in high-volume sites where the brush will see heavy daily use.

Suited to any commercial espresso setup where routine cleaning between shots or at the end of service is part of standard practice. If you are looking for brushes for other parts of the machine, or complementary Urnex cleaning products, the team are happy to point you in the right direction.

Urnex Clearly Coffee is a liquid cleaner formulated specifically for coffee brewing equipment. It works by breaking down and removing stale coffee oils and residue that accumulate with regular use, while also helping to prevent the build-up of mineral deposits that can affect flavour and equipment performance over time.

In a busy café or catering environment, coffee equipment that isn't cleaned consistently will begin to impart off-flavours into every cup. Coffee oils oxidise quickly and leave a bitter, stale residue inside pots, airpots, and brewing vessels. Using a dedicated cleaner like this as part of a regular cleaning routine keeps equipment tasting neutral and ensures it's ready for service without carry-over from previous brews.

• Removes stale coffee oils and residue from glass and stainless steel surfaces
• Helps prevent mineral deposit build-up that can affect brew quality
• Suitable for glass bowls, airpots, and single-cup brewing vessels
• Liquid formula mixes easily with water for a straightforward cleaning process
• Distinct blue colour aids visual confirmation of thorough rinsing

The 414ml format is practical for counter use and suits sites that clean equipment daily or at the end of each service. It's a straightforward product with no complex dilution process — mix with water, clean, and rinse. The blue colouring is a useful practical feature, making it easier to confirm that equipment has been fully rinsed before returning to service.

This cleaner is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, function catering, and any site running batch-brew or airpot coffee service. If you're running high-volume espresso equipment, it's worth checking whether a dedicated espresso machine cleaner is more appropriate alongside this product.

If you're unsure which cleaning products are right for your specific coffee equipment, we're happy to point you in the right direction.
