Urnex Tabz Coffee Brewer Cleaning Tablets 120pk

Batch brewers, coffee urns, airpots and thermal servers are easy to overlook in a busy service environment. Unlike espresso equipment, where cleaning is a visible, hands-on part of the daily routine, brewer cleaning tends to happen less frequently than it should. Coffee oils and residue accumulate gradually in brew baskets and vessels, and over time that build-up affects the taste of every cup that comes out of the machine. Urnex Tabz are designed to make this cleaning step as quick and foolproof as possible, which is exactly why they've become a go-to in commercial coffee environments worldwide.

The tablet format is what sets Tabz apart from powder alternatives. Each tablet is pre-measured, which removes the guesswork from dosing and reduces the chance of operator error during a busy service. Drop the appropriate number of tablets into the brew basket, run a cycle, and the solution cleans the basket and the server simultaneously in a single pass. Tabz also contain a blue safety dye that remains visible in the solution, making it easy to confirm that thorough rinsing has taken place before the equipment goes back into service. Each tub contains 120 tablets, dosed at one tablet per 2 litres of vessel capacity.

Tabz are NSF certified and safe for use on food-contact surfaces, making them suitable for any commercial environment where hygiene standards matter. They're compatible with coffee urns, batch brewers, airpots, thermal servers and glass coffee pots, covering the full range of batch brewing equipment you're likely to be running. For cafés, offices, hotels and catering operations where filter coffee service is part of the offer, a tub of Tabz is a straightforward addition to the cleaning kit that genuinely makes a difference to the quality of what ends up in the cup.

FAQs

What equipment are Urnex Tabz designed to clean?

Tabz are designed for batch brewing equipment including coffee urns, drip brewers, airpots, thermal servers and glass coffee pots. They are not intended for use in espresso machines. For espresso machine cleaning, Cafiza2 is the appropriate product.

How many tablets do I use per cleaning cycle?

Use one Tabz tablet per 2 litres of vessel capacity. Place the tablets directly into the brew basket, then run a full brew cycle into the server. The solution will clean both the brew basket and the server in a single pass.

What is the blue dye in Tabz for?

The blue safety dye is a visual indicator built into each tablet. It remains visible in the cleaning solution, making it easy to confirm that all parts have been thoroughly rinsed before the equipment goes back into service. This is particularly useful in busy café and catering environments where multiple staff members may be involved in cleaning.

How do I clean airpots and thermal servers with Tabz?

For servers and airpots, dissolve the appropriate number of tablets in hot water directly inside the vessel (one tablet per 2 litres of capacity), allow to soak for 15 to 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean water before returning to service.

Can I use Tabz to clean spray heads?

Yes. You can use the Tabz solution to wipe down spray heads. Wet a cloth with the solution and wipe the spray head, then follow with a clean cloth. This is a useful addition to the standard cleaning cycle in any brewer setup.

How often should I clean my batch brewer or urn with Tabz?

For commercial equipment in regular use, cleaning after every service period is recommended. The quick, single-cycle process makes this practical even in busy environments. For lower-volume settings, cleaning after each use or at minimum daily is a good standard to maintain.

Are Tabz safe for food-contact surfaces?

Yes. Tabz are NSF certified and approved for use on food-contact surfaces. As with any cleaning product, thorough rinsing after use is essential before the equipment is returned to service.

How many cleaning cycles does a 120-tablet tub provide?

This depends on the capacity of the equipment being cleaned. For a standard 2-litre server requiring one tablet per cycle, a tub of 120 tablets provides 120 individual cleaning cycles. Larger vessels requiring multiple tablets per cycle will naturally reduce the number of cycles per tub.

Where can I find the Safety Data Sheet for Tabz?

The COSHH Safety Data Sheet for Tabz is available directly from Urnex.co.uk. This is particularly relevant for commercial operators where COSHH documentation is required.

What is the difference between Tabz and Cafiza2?

Tabz are formulated for batch brewing equipment such as urns, brewers and servers, and work via a brew cycle or soak method. Cafiza2 is a concentrated powder specifically designed for espresso machine cleaning via backflushing group heads and soaking portafilters. They serve different purposes and are complementary rather than interchangeable.
