Dezcal or CleanCaf? Been having a hard time figuring out what the difference is between these products. I have a Gaggia Classic Semi Auto Espresso.

Cleancaf is to remove oils and a little scale. Dezscal is to get rid of heavy lime scale. So if you live in a hard water area like me, you may need both.

Much, much, MUCH better. I live in a bad hard water area (intermountain west), and have cleaned my coffee machines with vinegar for years. As a result, I've had to buy a new coffeemaker about every 2-3 years! The Cleancaf really does clean better- our 1-year-old coffeemaker is now burbling away exactly like it did when it was new- and that's after only using it ONCE, after a year of using vinegar. You would not believe the crap that this stuff pulled out of the inner workings of the machine! If you have hard water, this is a must-have. It really, really works well! :)

Is this acidic? I've got a Simplex tea kettle, and you can't use acid decalcifier on the tin.

The package says Cleancaf contains sodium carbonate. Sodium carbonate is a basic material (not acidic). So, I think it is not acidic.

I have an old uncleaned drip coffee maker. Will this work or any other product recommendations? Or should I buy new coffee maker & keep it cleaned?

I believe that is the only thing wrong with the old coffee maker is scale build up from use without cleaning, this product will work really well. If there are bigger problems with the machine, maybe not. But for the price of product, is certainly worth a try. I have a Cuisinart Thermal Drip Coffee maker that I clean "every time the Brita timer" on my water filter tells me to change that filter. My coffeemaker must be 3 years old now and I have hard water that "eats up" coffeemakers usually. Good luck with your cleaning project.

Great, easy to use product.

I’ve used this product for several years. It cleans my automatic coffeemaker (Oxo) and leaves the thermal carafe very clean. I notice better tasting coffee whenever I use this. Very satisfied.

Works extremely well to clean coffee pots

These packets worked really well. They cleaned my coffee pot, which is metal on the inside. The pot came up super clean afterwards would definitely recommended and buy.
