The "Tabs" are quite thick and dissolve in the course of the cleaning cycle (20 minutes) very good at. (What at cheap Tabs from the discounter is not always the case, as I have with another fully automatic detected before.) That's why now I get only the original as the manufacturer recommends it in the machine.
After cleaning it is running quite a bit of water through, but I'll let a few cleanings by Kaffeedüse and extra hot water chase. (Like I handle also after decalcification.)
Compared to the tabs that I know of Jura - since it comes after cleansing to extreme taste distortion! - There is after cleaning with this by / for Krups not a salty metallic taste in coffee.
The price, I feel, given the fact that I as directed only about 2 must be cleaned in the above-mentioned fully automatic times, not excessive.
There are these tabs yet a further package sizes such as 2 KRUPS cleaning tablets XS3000, 3 KRUPS cleaning tablets XS3000, XS3000 5 KRUPS cleaning tablets - and I could not say whether it is necessary to lie down so incredibly many in stock; a tablet which is not much cheaper anyway. ;-)
I clean the machine by the way after long pause operation (eg for holidays) additionally "voluntarily" with it. When I look at the discolored water that comes out of it, then to me the evidence enough and the investment is definitely worth it.
