Jura coffee machines are renowned for their exceptional quality and durability. However, regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Using cleaning tablets specifically designed for Jura coffee machines is a convenient and effective way to keep your machine in pristine condition.
Why Use Jura Cleaning Tablets?
Jura cleaning tablets are formulated with a unique blend of ingredients that:
- Remove coffee residue and oils: Tablets effectively dissolve and remove coffee residue, oils, and other contaminants that accumulate inside the machine.
- Descale the machine: Tablets contain descaling agents that dissolve and remove mineral deposits (scale) from the heating element and water lines.
- Lubricate the brewing unit: Tablets contain lubricants that help maintain the smooth operation of the brewing unit, reducing friction and wear.
- Protect against corrosion: Tablets contain anti-corrosion agents that help protect the metal components of the machine from rust and corrosion.
