AS00002139 Genuine De'Longhi Cleaning Tablets for De'Longhi Coffee Machines, Coffee Oil and Residue Cleaner

These are genuine De'Longhi cleaning tablets, part number AS00002139, for keeping a De'Longhi coffee machine's brewing path clean. Coffee leaves oily residue behind in the parts it passes through, and cleaning tablets are made to break that down. They aren't a descaler, which tackles limescale instead. Our records don't list the pack size or the machines that call for these tablets, so check the cleaning section of your user manual.

Why your De'Longhi needs regular cleaning

Each brew leaves a thin film of coffee oils and fine grounds behind. Over weeks it turns rancid and builds up, giving coffee a bitter or stale taste, slowing the flow from the spouts and making moving parts sticky. Machines with a cleaning program use a tablet to dissolve that build-up during a set cycle. If your coffee tastes off even with fresh beans, the flow is uneven between spouts, or the machine prompts for a clean, it's time to run one. Descaling is a separate job for limescale and needs a descaler.

Using cleaning tablets safely

Follow the cleaning steps in your machine's manual, as the program and where the tablet goes differ between models. Keep tablets dry and out of reach of children. Never put a cleaning tablet in the bean hopper, or in the water tank unless your manual tells you to. When the cycle finishes, rinse and discard the first coffee if your manual recommends it.

Questions about this part

Can I use these instead of descaler?

No. Cleaning tablets remove coffee oils and residue, while descaler dissolves the limescale left by hard water. Most automatic machines need both jobs done at different intervals, so check your manual for how often to run each one.
