How can I best maintain my machine?

For the best maintenance of your Nespresso machine, we recommend you to:

  • Eject the capsule after each use
  • Run water through the machine before and after each use (Original machines)
  • Run the cleaning cycle periodically (Vertuo machines)
  • Regularly empty and rinse the capsule container
  • Regularly empty and rinse the drip tray


Furthermore, Nespresso recommend you descale your machine on a regular basis by following the descaling frequency in your user manual. Over time, water used during brewing may cause internal mineral build up, which can affect the flow, temperature and overall performance of your machine.
