This routinely doesn’t work on the first try, but don’t worry! Make sure you eject the used capsule (open and close the lid). If it still doesn’t work, open and close the lid and try again. It can take several tries, and try different speeds of pressing the button three times in two seconds (trust me, it’s not broken). Don’t leave the used capsule in the holder; open and close the lid to drop the used capsule into the container for trash. If you leave the old capsule in the machine head, you’ll get more coffee residue in your cup (I learned this the hard way). We recommend that you read the operating instructions on your machine carefully. Nespresso® descaling When it comes time to clean, just refill the reservoir and run the cycle after you’ve made your morning coffee. It’s automatic and hands off, so no reason to dread!

To help you find the best coffee for your Nespresso machine – and save money on your morning brew – we've put Nespresso-compatible coffee pods to the test, asking a panel of independent coffee experts to blind-test them and rate how tasty they are. Tip: note how many pods your case holds and make a judgement based on that, for example, you may have to run through it twice before cleaning. The environmentally conscious coffee lover can use compatible compostable pods instead of the polluting aluminium pods. Some compatible pods are also organic and carry the fair trade and rainforest alliance label. Avoid letting water sit in the tank too long– I find it tastes worse (maybe the minerality changes over time).

Instead, start by by filling the water reservoir with clean water. Then place a 20oz container under the spout. Close the capsule container lid at the top of the machine and press the button 3 times within 2 seconds to initiate the cleaning cycle. Keep your container in place for up to 5 minutes as water runs through the system. Once finished, discard any remaining water in the container and run two more cycles without adding additional ingredients or capsules. Do You Need Special Cleaning Products?
