How to Clean Nespresso Vertuo?
What is Nespresso Vertuo?
Nespresso Vertuo is a line of coffee machines and capsules that use a patented technology called Centrifusion™ to brew different types of coffee with a single touch of a button. The Vertuo machines can recognize the barcode on each capsule and adjust the brewing parameters accordingly, such as the water volume, temperature, infusion time, and rotational speed. The Vertuo capsules come in various sizes and flavors, ranging from espresso to alto, and from single-origin to flavored blends. The Vertuo machines also have a built-in milk frother that can create hot or cold foam for your coffee. Nespresso Vertuo is designed to offer you a wide selection of coffee experiences with optimal taste and quality.
- For daily cleaning, you can simply rinse the capsule container and the drip tray with water and wipe them dry. You can also wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth.
- For regular cleaning, you can run a cleaning cycle once a week or after every 10 capsules. To do this, you need to fill the water tank with fresh water and press the button three times within two seconds. The machine will then flush water through the system for about two minutes. You can repeat this process until the water tank is empty.
- For descaling, you need to use a descaling solution and follow the instructions in the user manual. Descaling is recommended every three months or after 300 capsules. To do this, you need to fill the water tank with 500 ml of descaling solution and 500 ml of water. Then, press and hold the button for seven seconds until it blinks. The machine will then start the descaling process, which takes about 15 minutes. You can then rinse the machine with fresh water and run a cleaning cycle to finish.

You can know when to clean your machine by looking at the light on the button. If the light is red and green, it means your machine needs descaling.
