You buy one and you have it for 2+ years if we are talking about home use. I use it every 10 days (or about every 20 coffees) in the Gaggia Classic 2018/19 by putting half a teaspoon of it. Ideally, most people say 3g but also the instructions, meaning less than half a teaspoon. So we place it in the blind basket (basket without holes) and then following the instructions of the video below:
Effectively cleans coffee residues from the coffee machine, the filter basket, and the spout.
I clean the coffee machine using the blind basket, where the pressure thoroughly cleans the head and the water with impurities exits through a separate tube (in a machine with a three-way valve).
I place the filter basket and the spout in a container with cafiza and hot water, leaving them for about 30 minutes. With a little scrubbing and a good rinse, you are ready. They shine like new!
Pay attention to the dosage, there are several videos on YouTube to see the process and the dosages.
It does its job correctly and helps beyond the use for machine cleaning, also for stainless steel devices or utensils such as kettle, shaker, etc.
I recommend it for both household and professional use.
Although expensive, with a tablespoon of Soup and hot water from a kettle in a stainless steel French jug or stainless steel jug for anything liquid, in a few minutes with the foam it makes, it dissolves whatever is on the walls and becomes like new.
The process is simple: First, pour a tablespoon of Cafila 2 900gr. and then slowly pour hot water (it foams abruptly and rises until it overflows from the jug if done quickly), close the lid and leave it for ten minutes (5 normally and 5 upside down the jug). Finally, empty the jug, wash it, and you're ready.
Note: I do it three times a month.
