Over time, minerals in the water, like calcium, can accumulate inside the machine, leading to reduced pressure, longer brew times, and ultimately a less flavorful cup of coffee. To descale Nespresso Vertuo, follow these simple steps:

Prepare the descaling solution: Nespresso recommends using their own descaling solution, but you can also use other commercially available descalers. Mix it with water as per the instructions.

Start the descaling process: Place a large container under the coffee spout to collect the solution. Turn on the machine, enter descaling mode by pressing the buttons as instructed in your machine’s manual.

Run the solution through: Allow the descaling solution to run through the machine until the water reservoir is empty.

Rinse the machine: After descaling, run clean water through the machine to rinse out any remaining solution.

By regularly descaling your Nespresso Vertuo, you’ll ensure optimal performance and enjoy a consistently great cup of coffee. It’s recommended to descale every 2-3 months or when your machine indicates it’s time.
