What You Will Need
- A Nespresso Krups coffee machine
- A descaling solution recommended by Nespresso
- Fresh water
- A container to collect water
Step 1: Prepare Your Machine
Before you start the descaling process, ensure that your Nespresso Krups coffee machine is turned off and unplugged. This will prevent any accidents or damage to the machine. Empty the capsule container and the drip tray, and remove any used capsules from the machine.
Step 2: Mixing the Descaling Solution
Follow the instructions on the descaling solution packaging to mix the appropriate amount of solution with water. The ratio specified by Nespresso is typically 1 part descaling solution to 1 part water. Ensure that you use a container large enough to hold all the liquid.
Step 3: Enter Descaling Mode
Press the power button on your Nespresso Krups machine and wait for it to heat up. Once the machine is ready, press and hold both the “Lungo” and “Espresso” buttons simultaneously for at least three seconds. This will activate the descaling mode, indicated by blinking lights.
Step 4: Start Descaling
Place a container capable of holding at least one liter of liquid under the coffee outlet. Start the descaling process by pressing the “Lungo” button. The descaling solution will flow through the machine and into the container. It is normal if the process pauses at times. Repeat this process until all the liquid has been dispensed.
Step 5: Rinse
Remove the container and empty it. Fill your Nespresso Krups machine’s water tank with fresh water. Place a clean container of the same capacity under the coffee outlet and press the “Lungo” button to rinse the machine. Repeat this process until the water tank is empty.
Step 6: Exit Descaling Mode
Once you have completed the rinsing process, press and hold both the “Lungo” and “Espresso” buttons together for three seconds to exit descaling mode.
Step 7: Clean and Reassemble
Empty the drip tray and the capsule container. Clean them thoroughly, along with any other removable parts of your Nespresso Krups machine, with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry them before putting them back in place.
Step 8: Enjoy Your Coffee
Your Nespresso Krups machine is now descaled and ready to brew delicious cups of coffee again. Enjoy your coffee without the worry of any unwanted mineral residues affecting its flavor!
