ECM Cleaning Tablets

We recommend using a cleaning tablet after every 100 to 200 cups of coffee, or roughly once a month depending on your usage. Regular cleaning prevents the buildup of coffee oils that can turn rancid and negatively impact the flavor of your espresso.

While these tablets are specifically formulated by ECM for their machines, they are generally compatible with most espresso machines that require a standard cleaning tablet for backflushing. However, always check your machine's user manual to ensure it supports the use of cleaning tablets.

These tablets are specifically engineered to dissolve coffee oils and residue within the brewing group without leaving behind harsh chemical odors or residues. Using a product designed for espresso equipment ensures your machine's internal components are protected while maintaining the purity of your coffee's flavor profile.

This pack contains 10 tablets. If you are a home barista cleaning your machine once a month, this supply will last you nearly a full year.

Yes, a bitter or 'off' taste is often the first sign of old coffee oil buildup in the group head. Using one of these tablets to perform a backflush cycle can effectively strip away that residue and restore the clean, bright flavors you expect from your espresso.
