Selecting cleaning products
There are several ways to clean a Nespresso capsule or carob coffee machine. For this purpose, you can purchase the original Delonghi Ecodecalk liquid of 500 ml. The quantity is enough for 4 – 5 uses, since the solution is concentrated. The composition includes several acids:
- lemon;
- maleic – a derivative of malic acid, a safe substance for health;
- phosphonic - prevents the rapid appearance of new sediment on the walls of parts.
All components are selected and designed in such a way that after the final rinsing, no harmful substances are detected in the coffee, and the walls of the tubes and main parts are not damaged by chemicals.
If you use improvised means, it will cost less. True, the complete cleaning cycle will have to be repeated 3–4 times to completely remove scale. Use citric acid or vinegar in diluted form.
If there is no specialized product for decalcifying a Nespresso coffee machine in the store, according to the instructions, you can use other products, for example, intended for other brands of machines.
How often should you wash your car?
Nespresso should be cleaned at least once every three months. If you do not brew coffee often, then you can focus on the number of servings made - the norm is 300 pieces, after which the machine is washed.
It is recommended to test the water for the presence of salts. The following may be present in dissolved form in tap liquid:
- Iron salts. The color of the deposits will have a reddish tint.
- Magnesium and calcium salts.
- Ions of other metals, such as aluminum.
- Gases.
When heated, they form hard, porous deposits that interfere with the normal operation of the device.
Distilled water contains no impurities, making it an ideal liquid for coffee machines. If you have a built-in reverse osmosis filter at home, it is recommended to use such water to fill the coffee maker container.
If you use tap liquid, cleaning will have to be done more often. How often can be determined by the scale in the kettle. If a thick layer accumulates on the inner walls within a month, then the coffee maker needs to be cleaned twice a month.
If you calculate the costs of bottled water and compare them with the purchase of professional descalers, then it will be cheaper to buy water in a store.
Steps to follow:
Cleaning agent
Firstly, it is important to know that to clean your Nespresso you will need a special product to descale your coffee maker. Lime and other minerals found in water accumulate in the internal system of Nespresso and all other coffee machines - manual or automatic - and can cause the machine to malfunction.
Nespresso has its own kit specifically designed for cleaning and maintaining your coffee makers . However, you can also find other coffee machine cleaning products at the supermarket. Additionally, there are those who use natural products with cleansing powers, such as vinegar or lemon. But it is important to know that coffee machine manufacturers do not recommend them.
Remove capsules
You should also know that the method of cleaning Nespresso coffee is the same for all models of coffee machines, so no matter what you use, you can also follow the steps below.
So the first step is to make sure that you remove the last capsule you used or remove it at this time and you will also have to empty the capsule of your Nespresso machine.
Fill with water
The next step in cleaning your Nespresso is to fill the machine's water reservoir with at least 500ml of water and pour out the contents of the descaling kit, which will likely be a viscous liquid.
Turn on the car
Turn on your Nespresso coffee machine and wait until the flashing lights go off, indicating that the machine is ready. In turn, you must place a sufficiently large container - at least 1 liter - under the coffee dispenser; If necessary, you can remove the cup holder or tray.
Decalcification mode
You should then hold down the two buttons (one for the small cup and one for the large cup) for 3 seconds and you will see them start flashing as an indicator that the decalcification mode has been activated. You can then press the large cup button to circulate the purifier water inside the machine.
Repeat
Once most of the liquid in the reservoir has been drained, but not all of it, to prevent air from entering the inner circuit, you will have to press the button on the large cup again and fill the reservoir with the same water that came out. So you must repeat the process and return the detergent water.
Fill with clean water
Finally, you should discard the previous mixture and fill the tank with clean water to rinse the coffee maker and make it completely clean. Thus, you will have to press the large cup button again to empty the sediment of your coffee machine for the last time and thus clean it.
Disable decalcification mode
To finish, you must press both buttons again within three seconds to turn off the decalcification mode of your Nespresso; When they stop flashing and the light does not go out, this will be the moment when your coffee machine is ready and cleaned again to use it without problems.

Invigorating freshly brewed coffee is the key to a good mood in the morning. To enjoy a tasty and aromatic drink prepared with your own hands every day, you need to devote a lot of time to this process. But it is not always possible to find the necessary minutes.
Delonghi Nespresso capsule coffee machine
Manufacturers of kitchen equipment have invented a device that independently brews coffee - a coffee machine. The most popular brands are Nespresso and Delonghi. This device saves time and still produces an excellent drink. But there is still one “but” - for the coffee machine to work well, it must be cleaned regularly.
Cleaning kit from the manufacturer
The manufacturer has specially developed chemicals for cleaning Nespresso krups coffee machines and other types of capsule or carob units. For built-in cappuccino makers, additional liquids or tablets are available to remove residual milk fat from the walls of the container and the conductive tubes.
There is a separate liquid from the oily residue that forms in the cooking group, but most often two ingredients are combined in one product, simultaneously cleaning all contaminants.
Important! You need to start cleaning when the descaling nespresso sign lights up. If you delay the procedure, the machine may not turn on and decalcification will only be possible at a service center, which will cost much more and take longer
Step-by-step instructions for nespresso descaling
Instructions for cleaning Nespresso Delonghi capsule and regular:
- Remove grounds from the waste container or used capsules and clean the drip tray.
- Prepare a solution of descaling agent as written in the manual.
- Pour it into the water container and start the cleaning mode. Place a cup under the spout that can hold the entire amount of liquid from the reservoir.
- After the first cleaning cycle, some manufacturers recommend pouring the cleaning solution back into the reservoir and starting the process again.
- Pour the used liquid into the toilet.
- Pour clean water into the container and rinse the system once. When using original cleaning solutions, once is enough.
Next, you should rinse the pan and water tank under the tap and install them in place. If there is a remote milk jug, it is washed under the tap; if there is a built-in cappuccino maker, it is washed along with the entire device with chemicals and then with clean liquid.
