Pros 👍
User-friendly: I am somewhat intimidated by descaling products (don't ask why), but these being in tablet form already makes them more approachable. They're super simple to use; all I do is pop 'em in the water reservoir and follow my machine's descaling process.
Great packaging: The individually wrapped packets make it easy to grab and use with minimal effort. There are no liquid solutions I have to measure or anything, and that's a win in my books. It also encourages me to use them more often.
Ample supply: One pack includes a whole year's supply (or longer!), which is a great value.
Affordable: Considering you receive a one-year supply, the price is pretty inexpensive — especially when it's on sale, like right now.
Versatile: These tablets can be used with all major brands and machines, including Keurig, Nespresso, Breville and more. Whether you have a single-serve system or multi-cup maker, these tablets will be of good use.
Cons 👎
Slow dissolve: I find that after placing the tablet in the water tank, it takes a second to dissolve fully. It's totally a first-world problem and is by no means a deal breaker — just something worth pointing out!
Alternative methods: While these are incredibly convenient, you can also opt for ingredients you likely already have in your household to do the trick: white vinegar and water.

"After using these, my coffee tastes so much better," shares another.
One shopper did point out that while they're "super easy to use," "it does take a little bit [of time] for the tablet to dissolve."
Another customer said cleaning with "1/3 vinegar" works better for them, which is something to consider before purchasing.
What's the verdict?
In my opinion, anyone who owns a coffee maker should certainly maintain it — whether it's with vinegar, solution or these descaling tablets. They'll keep your machine in good condition to ensure it brews the best-tasting coffee. Plus, you don't want to be sipping on grimy residue (gross!). I can confirm they're really easy to use; however, some shoppers have pointed out that they prefer other methods.
