I bought this item second-hand today no instructions so very informative thank you Amigo

Best description I have watched. Thanks.

I bought my machine six years ago and never realised there was a descale or clean cycle before. I gave it two cycles using citric acid descaling tablets on the grounds that if I didn't get all of the descaler out it would make my next cup of coffee taste faintly of lemons rather than a fish&chip supper Thanks for the video, coffee tastes so much better now.

Thank you for your information about the acids that can be used and if it should be neat or diluted. I can’t be asked to go and get the nespresso cleaner, but I have 4 litres of white distilled vinegar that I use for cleaning, so result!

Thank you! Running my descale cycle now.

Thank you 🙏 very helpful.

Thanks! This was so helpful!

Easy and to the point. Thanks mate.

Brilliant , thanks heaps

Just did it! The only thing was I did not expect it to come out from both nozzles the first pass 😆. Otherwise, it is very easy to follow. Thanks!

Thank you

Thank you 🙏

Thank you so very much stuck in ISO no coffee machine cleaner. You are a superstar

You can use cetric acid oo

you should not use vinegar in modern coffee machines, use citric acid instead. It is cheap and works just as well. The plastics in modern coffee machines are only moderately compatible with acetic acid, whereas citric acid is usually no problem. In fact many commercial descaling tablets or fluids contain nothing more then citric acid.

Thanks this was very helpful, Can i emmerse the black part of my milk frother completely in water? I was never sure so I've never did that before, I've always just cleaned the rubber straw and unscrewed the small black part that connects to the machine and cleaned those two parts never the whole thing

i use CLR then serve my guesses the rank cleaning juice highly recommended

I had problems with the descaling light staying on after the descaling cycle. Here are two tips: Firstly whatever descaling solution you use, fill it up to 600mls as per the owners book. Turn on machine and fit descaling pipe to milk outlet. (Pipe stored in fold down flap in front of milk container stand) Once the descaling cycle finishes which takes a long time as the machine starts and stops throughout the cycle so just let it do its thing. Secondly once it finishes descaling fill water tank to max and during the flush cycle add 300mls more water. The machine measures how much water passes through and obviously not calibrated for just the 1 litre tank capacity. This should reset the descale light once it finishes. Others have mentioned the light did not go off after the full cycle using the instructions above so use the instructions for the water hardness settings and set it to lowest setting then you can reset it later. I have not experienced this problem so can't guarantee it???

Can i use natural sider vinegar?? And how much would I need? Thanks!

hi, may i know the model of this machine. its kindda cute 😆

I was told by the rep that using vinegar may damage the machine because the stuff may come out in chunks

I have a latissima one machine, do I still use 500ml of white vinegar ?

I have the exact same machine and as of today, coffee come out one tiny bit drop at a time.. is descaling going to solve this problem that I'm having? Also my orange light didn't come on.. Thanks in advance.

Hi, How and where can we dispose the descaling solution? Down the sink or?

Like ur accent :)

Anyone can use any acidic solution they wish in their Nespresso. There are some things vinegar users should be ware of that you did not mention but can be easily researched with a bit of effort. 1. Culinary vinegar is not strong enough to dissolve scale. 2. You need garden or utility strength vinegar. 3. Espresso professionals do not use vinegar because the lingering taste and smell is more difficult to get rid of than just using proper descaling products. 4. Nespresso’s proprietary descaler is based on lactic acid and specifically designed not to harm anything in their machines like tubes or connectors. 5. Citric acid is not generally recommended for Nespresso because lazy and ignorant users tend to use far too high concentrations. 6. The Nespresso kit is not very expensive and it is convenient but totally unnecessary if you know what you’re doing.

These stubborn tourists should be given permanant residency in Nokor!

citric acid is better

I swear, the descaling thing is BS. I bet the machine is programmed to set off the red light on a regular basis whether descaling is genuinely required or not. The next time the descaling light goes on my machine, I was going to do a test and just use fresh water, not that expensive Nespresso stuff and see what happens. I bet it can't tell the difference. But ten your vid came along.....

DO NOT USE VINEGAR! PLEASE...
