9 years later , still I'm here rewatching this video and descaling my Nespresso machine with Vinegar :)

Finally convinced my office we need to descale our machine LOL very helpful but definitely need to press the buttons for more than 3 seconds to enter descale mode

Thank you Nesspresso, your directions work in Hong Kong! Drink right away and it was superb.

Pretty much the same instructions as with cleaning the Pixie. Thank you much!

I started watching this video looking to clean my Nespresso machine. Before I knew it, I was hot and sweaty in bed with the Nespresso machine.

Well,with that music it's a good job I didn't ask my Nespresso machine to go on a date...

This videos are oddly satisfying to watch 😅

I followed this whole video and it worked PERFECTLY!!!! THANNKKKK YOU! ❤ only other thing I did was run the water through at the end 5 times for the lungo setting. Then i brewed my coffee and it tastes amazing! I descaled my machine because it started having a bitter taste to the coffee. Tastes brand new now!

Followed your guide by heart, but instead of 2 times washing with fresh water I washed 5 and also wasted 2 coffee capsules to be safe.. And it works wonders! No sign of chemical into my coffee and works again like new!

This video is very useful and I admire the soft porn background music.

Thank u so much! You saved my life 🙏

Just did the descaling and as everybody says you need to rinse it with water at least 5-6 times. You can smell the water and see the clarity of the water to understand if there is still some chemicals in the system. I did that rinsing cycle 5 times I believe and then pulled 2 espresso shots to make sure it is okay.

the inissia manual (page 14) mention to descale between 1000 to 4000 cups of 40ml coffee depending of water hardness. I drink max 2 expresso per day so ~ 730 per year, so I need to descale every 2000 coffee because of water hardness, so it's ~2-3 years.

Does this descaling method also clean the brew chamber?

Easy enough to follow still great coffee

Flashing lights got stuck. Called the help line, and was told to do the descaling again, following the KZfaq video. Did not want to do that as I would be using a second descaling liquid pouch. Looked up video online on how to fix the issue. Found a KZfaq video with very simple instruction, which was to hold both buttons for 5 seconds. It worked. In case anyone out there has the same poor service from Nespresso, this is how you get it un-stuck

Thank you for the clear instructions!

thanks - easy to follow guide and worked on my machine the same.

Благодаря за видеото което сте направили... Понеже не намерих същия разтворител за котлен камък на неспресо взех друг вариант който е на прах по същия начин както показвайте и аз така направих и кафето си тече нормално вече...

Very helpful, thank you. Last time I made such a hash of it I had to ring the help desk to re program my machine 😂

I wish my nespresso machine was as quiet as this one xD Still very handy thing to have though. And tasty coffee !

Хорошая информация!

me ha gustado mucho,pues se ha explicado muy bien

Lo ví más para entretenerme que otra cosa ajjajaja, excelente vídeo, muy claro y estético

Had to hold buttons for at least 10 sec but then it started working 💪

Gracias! La tengo como nueva! Eso sí, hice lo que dijeron x ahí, 5 veces con agua después del descalificante, y dos cápsulas de café a la basura estoy escribiendo este comentario tomándome mi cafelito

For anyone looking at this video just hold down the two buttons and peer under your fingers, you should see when they start to rapidly flash

Very important note: after the first and the second descaling process, empty the dip tray, which you can see at 0:46 If you don’t do that then water will flow out from the dip tray. // Fontos: az első és második vízkőtelenítési folyamat után, az alsó csepegtető tartályt ki kell üríteni (ami 0:46 -nál látható), különben kifolyik a víz a kávéfőző alá.

Ottimo prodotto,lo uso ogni due anni e funziona bene senza lasciare tracce di descaler👍🏻😃👍🏻il liquido rimanente lo ho usato anche per liberare dal calcare delle pompette a immersione uso hobbistica ...👍🏻

Grazie, molto utile! 😊

I rinse it twice instead of once with water before quitting the descalling mode. The very first espresso does taste weird, I wonder if it's "bitter" because it's clean or chemical taste. It's not that bad actually. I think it will be gone in next few coffee. At least it's done, it was like ~3-4years.

Vielen Dank. Sehr nützlich.

No problems with the instructions and only run an extra 1.5 liters through and coffee is fine and descaling solution not toxic unless you drink it straight.

Great help thank you,

Grazie per la spiegazione, sono riuscita a fare la decalcificazione ma, come ho visto in altri commenti, ho tenuto premuto più di 3 secondi per accedere alla modalità indicata, ho aspettato il necessario finché le luci hanno iniziato a lampeggiare velocemente. Ora mi godo il caffè buono come la prima volta.

Muy bien explicado,

Thank you for the video, but my machine doesn't start descaling after pressing both buttons for 3 sec. That drove me mad. I pushed buttons simultaneously and they simply stopped glowing (switched off), so after some efforts I managed to start descaling using a scheme: buttons stop blinking, push them for 5 sec, they stop glowing, push them again for few seconds, then the descaling starts. It takes about 10 seconds. I think you should update your video to list the actual process, like "push for 4-10 seconds".

Just used it, works like new, the water flow is much faster now, like brand new

3 seconds? not on mine, more like 6-7 seconds. also it sometimes needs to be unplugged during the process because it won't start the next cycle no matter what i press. lastly, it takes about 10 cycles of 500ml just to get the taste of the descaling solution out of the espresso.

If I use distilled water all the time, do I still have to descale the machine? I use an old coffee maker that also has the steam thingy, never had problems using distilled water. I want to buy and try one, but I'm scared of the chemical part thou....

Como podemos traduzir o comentário do video? Quando não temos o inglês como primeira língua, porque não aparece um video com as instruções na língua onde a máquina foi vendida e onde a nespresso tem representação?

Please could you forewarn that in the process the water tray must not be emptied to the last drop, that you have to watch and push to stop if it is going to be empty, because the air can go inside the machine and you will have a new problem, the machine will not pour water again. I had to throw away my inissia coffee machine because I think I burned it trying to return it to the normal operation. So, better not to do this operation, but if you are going to do it, watch the water tray, don’t let it be emptied

I followed the instructions as well and i decided to flush it with clean water twice(i only use purified water to begin with) and i didn't taste any of the solution, i brewed an espresso just with water and could taste anything but water. The cloudy water is just heated up water it clears if you let it sit for a bit....

How much does the descaling kit cost please :) Im in South Africa

My mum forgot to take off the capsule (used) from the machine and it stayed there when we were descaling our machine. Should we repeat the descaling process?

Helpful tutorial, but I had to press the buttons 8 seconds to enter and to exit the descaling mode ; 3 secs were not enough. Also you should empty the drip tray after each iteration, or it will quickly overflow.

I can't exit the descaling mode and start making coffee.

Yeah, I've descaled my machine and five full cycles of clean water later, I can still taste the descaling solution.

Возможно я сделала что-то не так, но после мигания кнопок,я зажала их на три секунды, судя по инструкции, и моя кофемашина просто выключилась. В итоге я не поняла, очищала ли я в режиме удаления накипи или просто так, но теперь мне страшно пить кофе даже после четырёх полосканий. Пахнет химией, я боюсь отравиться.

If i didnt use the machine for almost a year since the last descale, will i need to descale once i use it again?

I got through one cycle of descaling and then my machine presumably air locked and now there is no flow through and out through the coffee outlet, any official advice on how to solve this?

Спасибо!!!

Guys, are you sure that you used instructions exactly for Inissia? Perhaps, you used it for another model? I'm asking because i did just as the video says and everything is fine. No chemical taste or smell. Coffee, by the way, became better after this operation.

Rili yortx?

After the descaling process I threw away 2 cups full of water. Then I tried my first cup of coffee and i could taste the chemicals, the second was similar, 3rd cup tasted okayish, 4th cup was similar to the original but traces of chemicals came back, 5th cup tasted nearly right, 6th cup tasted like heaven but I had to rush to A+E as I was scared at how fast my heart started beating.

Hello, Should i descale my machine that i even using spring water and how often ideal ?

Thank you vidios good

Nice descaling video, however one key point is missed; how to stop the machine once the descaling fluid passes through the the machine? I pushed every combination of buttons I could think of but couldn’t stop the machine until I unplugged it!

Mine dit continous flashing of buttons between rinses. After second rinse the button glow went away. Do not know if this a problem

als ik drie seconden op die knopjes druk gaat de machine weer uit?

for to enter in descaling mode it need to touch simulty the keys for 5 seconds. Also for to out descaling mode in Inissia model.

When I go for descaling mode my pixie went ded. Then i pressed both buttons for 3 secs it started to descale and lights were blinking. Is this correct behaviour?

Nie wiedziałam jak wyjąć zużytą kapsułkę i rozmontowałam od podstawy teraz nie mogę to złożyć Co mam zrobić Helena

this descaling mode is not working, I press it starts blinking but then it starts working without pressing lungo and then I cannot enter the lungo mode again, it keeps blinking no matter what I press. So I had to take to turn it off completely and just press lungo as in making regular coffee... not sure if I did it correctly

Az első kör után mikor elfogy a folyadék a tartályból, valószínűleg levegő kerül a rendszerbe. Ami azt eredményezi, hogy a második kör nem tud elindulni, nem tud folyadékot beszívni a tartályból. Tavaly ugyanígy jártam, ezért most gondoltam megelőzöm a bajt, utántöltöttem a tartályt, hogy a program lejártakor biztosan ne maradjon üres, nehogy újra levegőt szívjon be. Hiába, ugyanaz történt, most próbálom nagyjából huszadjára újra indítani a programot, de csak küzd és küzd, nem tudja a tartályból beszívni a folyadékot. Talán majd holnap tudom folytatni, de lehet csak 2 nap múlva. Addig pedig kávét sem ihatok. Ilyenkor legszívesebben kihajítanám az ablakon ezt a gépet...

when I descale my machine this video seems to be wrong, my machine won't do any thing. but when I hold them down untill it runs .

Raquel Camargo

mennyi víz kell a tartályba a vízkőtelenítéshez?

Nearly every comment on this video has a bot responding with jibberish - I can't wait for when they do mine next!

How to dismantle the machine

J ai petite et grande tasse es ce qu on peut programmer une tasse plus grande

Is the water supposed to be hot?

Ma machine ne coule plus du tout. Le détartrage comme ci-dessus ne fonctionne donc pas. Que puis-je faire ?

Are you using tap water or mineral water ?

Which one is the lungo button? How am I supposed to know that?

I followed the instructions but it didn't work!! The descaling process didn't start after the 3 seconds.

Where can I find the descaling solution in Brazil?

If i press the 2 buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds, as you said, unfortunately my inissia machine is turning off.

Una domanda perfavore. La mia macchina di caffe lattessima One e ancora nuova ma non monta più il latte .il cappuccino senza schiuma. Come mai?

Everyone, did any of you rinse it just once like in the video or you rinse it more than three times to get the chemical taste out of the machine?

What could be wrong with my machine - whenever I press those two buttons at the same time, the machine simply goes off!They don't flash at all!

What do you do if the buttons on your inissia don’t stop blinking?

I couldn’t enter the descaling mode despite pressing the buttons for more than 3 seconds and even longer. I just used the lungo function several times - hope it still works!! Did anyone do the same?

Doesnt work. When i press the two button simultaneously, the machine turns off.

I thought Nespresso Policy was to keep hands clean and hygienic finger nails?

Quindi non si usa il decalcificante ma si pulisce solo con acqua?

Bonjour je n’arrive pas à quitter le mode détartrage le fait d’appuyer sur les 2 boutons simultanément et qu’ils clignotent pendant 25 secondes ne fonctionne pas

can I use the regular soap?

I laughed at the pronunciation of Lungo. If you're going to use the Italian word, looking up the pronunciation might be helpful. :)

Двух очисток, как указано в видео, однозначно мало. Привкус химии в кофе.

Disastro completo. Ho riempito con mezzo litro di acqua e la soluzione ma non ho abbassato il meccanismo di chiusura. Non mi sono accorto che la soluzione stava uscendo dal fondo e ho allagato la cucina. Ho ripetuto l'operazione correttamente con la seconda busta del kit. Come se non bastasse dalle foto non avevo capito che andava reinserita la soluzione uscita e lho pure gettata via. Quindi ho fatto un ciclo con soluzione uscita chissà da dove è un secondo senza reinserimento. Mi chiedo che devo fare ora. Non ho capito se poi l'acqua da mixare con la soluzione debba essere di rubinetto o di bottiglia.

Or just use white vinegar. Its safe and you avoid using these harmful chemicals.

Can I use white vinegar?

Estimados clientes y clientas de Nespresso, les aconsejo tengan en cuenta la calidad de servicio y postventa que ofrece la marca. Hay cafeteras cuyas máquinas tienen fallos eléctricos que se bloquean cuando se introduce la cápsula. Desde el servicio técnico de Nespresso tienen detectada la incidencia pero no se hacen responsables absolutamente de nada, no ofrecen ninguna solución, ni teniendo una fidelidad a la marca de más de 15 años y muchísimo dinero invertido en ellos entre diferentes máquinas y cápsulas compradas. Valoren ustedes mismos...

My machine stuck in descalling mode now after 3cycle..all button light keep flashing ,never ending..had done factory reset but it doesn't fix the problem

A word of warning: I followed these instructions. Worked fine. Drank my first cup of coffee and almost threw up. 10 iterations through the cleaning cycle and I can still smell descaling solution in the water. And I don't really think of my sense of taste/smell as anything special.... I will cycle through another 10 cups of water tomorrow. Till then, it's back to the instant. At least that doesn't taste of chemical. And I'm glad I don't have to descale for another year - and will probably pass then. It was working and tasting just fine before this. And a further point of irritation: If I only need to descale once a year, why not give me ONE packet of solution in the descaling pack and charge me half the price? Oh, sorry, I forgot ... you need me to fund the cost of these half-baked videos, right? Wouldn't it be easier if you wrote better manuals? (OK, I better stop while my BP is normal)

Where can I get the descaling solution?

My machine automatically starts the descaling run after just pressing the two buttons (IE, i don’t press the lungo button).

Hello, where can I find the solution for descaling? Thanks.

Quando devo fazer a descalcificação?
