Question 1

How many tablets/units come with this kit? How many uses?

Accepted Answer

There are only two packages in this box and I ended up using half a package of the crystals at a time, getting four uses out of the box.  I did purchase another item that comes in a three pack with four packets in each for a total of 12 uses by Urnex Dezcal for about the same price.  Just received them and have not tried them, but the Krups worked very well and if these do not work as well, I will purchase the Krups again.  I have fairly hard water and need to use the product more frequently than most do.  There are no instructions with it, but another poster had suggested dissolving the crystals in half a pot of water, pour in coffee maker, let it begin to filter through, turn off the coffee maker and let it sit for about 20 minutes and then turn on again.  That worked very well, and then run a couple of pots using just plain water to completely clean the unit before brewing a pot of coffee.

Question 2

My box did not come with any instructions. How do you use the descaling powder?

Accepted Answer

My particular coffee machine KRUPS KM9008  recommends mixing powder with 16 ounces of water,pouring into the water fill tank,and starting the machine. Be sure to remove filter first,if your machine has one! .Allow half of the liquid to run through,then switch off machine and let stand for 1 hour.then restart machine to complete the brewing cycle.Discard liquid and rinse machine by running it through 2 full cycles with water only.

Question 3

How many tablets/units come with this kit? How many uses?

Accepted Answer

1 kit or box has 2 packets + a test strip for water hardness. Each packet is for 1 descaling. Descale every 3 to 4 months depending on water hardness (I filter my water). White vinegar & water will also work as a descaler. Check the internet for how to.

Question 4

Hi, Have any of you experience a 'perfume' type of smell on the machine (and coffee) after using the product? Thanks in advance.

Accepted Answer

Only happens if you don't cycle with clear water and no coffee a couple of times after the cleaning cycle.
