Now it's time to find the right coffee

At Nespresso, we understand that every palate is different – one person's Long Black is another person's Buenos Aires Milky Way (you can find the recipe here).

If you're new to the world of Nespresso coffee machines, take our Coffee Profiler quiz to get personalised recommendations and discover the coffees that will create all of your café favourites. (Note: you'll need to know what kind of chocolate you like.)

Care & Maintenance

Top Care Tips

Regular maintenance is the best way to make sure your Nespresso Atelier delivers delicious coffee, cup after cup. Here are some top care tips:

  • Never use strong/abrasive solvents, sponges or cream cleansers on your coffee bean machine.

  • Refill your water tank on a daily basis, and clean it regularly with an odourless detergent. Rinse with warm water after cleaning.

  • Wipe the machine down with a soft, damp cloth.

  • The milk frother and capsule container are the only components that are dishwasher-friendly.

  • Lift then close the lever at the top of the machine to eject any capsule into the used capsule container.

  • Remove the milk frother. Then gently pull on the drip tray to remove it and the capsule container. Rinse them under water and dry with a clean damp cloth. Replace.

  • Clean the coffee outlet with a damp cloth.

Descaling

It's also important to descale your Nespresso Atelier every 6 to 12 months. Descaling gently removes the limescale that builds up in your machine over time and keeps your coffee always tasting great.

Our video covers off descaling done right.
