Urnex first started in 1936 producing filters for coffee makers. Over time they recognized how the buildup of oils on equipment can negatively affect the coffee flavor. As a result, they developed and released their first cleaning product called the Urn & Brewer Cleaner. Ever since then, their cleaning products are used worldwide and are recognized as one of the leaders in coffee equipment cleaning products. Ever since 1998, Urnex has been in our catalog of cleaning solutions.
