Question 1

Can I use vinegar to descale my Nespresso coffee machine?

Accepted Answer

It’s important to never use vinegar to descale your Nespresso coffee machine. Doing so can cause serious damage to your machine.  It’s always best to use a Nespresso Descaling Kit and follow your user manual when descaling.

Question 2

Should I fill up the water tank on my machine while I’m descaling it?

Accepted Answer

No, the water tank should not be full while you’re descaling.

Question 3

What should I do with my machine after I’ve descaled it?

Accepted Answer

Wipe your Nespresso coffee machine with a damp cloth after you’ve descaled it to mop up any remaining residue. It should now be fine to use.

Question 4

How often should I clean and descale my machine?

Accepted Answer

It’s best practice to clean your machine daily (if you are using it daily). This is to prevent the build-up of residue and bacteria.

Descaling can be done once or twice a year and should ideally be followed up with a deep clean as well.
