To ensure that your Nespresso machine is running smooth with a good flow and gives perfect taste and temperature we highly recommend that you descale your machine regularely. This is imperative if you have a machine with steam function as hot water binds limescale fast and can impact not only coffee flow and taste but also the quality of milkfoam.
If you have an Original Line machine you can set the waterhardness to match the water quality in your area and the machine will then alert you when it is time for a maintenance.
Vertuo Line machines do not need a water hardness setting, they will alert you automatically.
Make sure you always use the Nespresso descaling kit that is suited for your machine.
