Recommended By NespressoDude

Welcome to this video tutorial from Nespresso’s Technical Assistance Service on descaling your Nespresso Zenius machine. To ensure that you consistently get the perfect cup of coffee, we recommend descaling your Zenius machine at least once a year. The Nespresso Club offers a descaling kit specially designed for your Nespresso machine. In this video, you will learn just how simple it is to descale your machine. First, disconnect the machine and remove any capsules that may be left in the system by lifting and lowering the lever. Empty the used capsule container and the drip tray. Place a 1.5L container under the coffee outlet. Remove the water tank filter and fill the tank with 1L of water and two descaling solution packets from Nespresso. To activate the descaling mode, simply press and hold the Ristretto button while turning on the machine. Press the red Ristretto button again. The red light will start flashing during the machine’s descaling cycle. When there is no more descaling solution remaining, the Ristretto button will stop flashing red and the Lungo button will illuminate. To complete the process, empty and rinse the water tank. Refill the tank with fresh water. Press the Lungo button to start the automatic rinsing cycle. The machine will stop while performing the rinsing cycle. Press the red Lungo button to continue with the rinsing. Once done, all four buttons will emit a flashing white light. Refill the water tank with fresh water, and your Zenius machine is ready to use.

Emptying Capsule Container and Drip Tray

To empty the capsule container and drip tray, simply remove them from the machine and discard any used capsules and excess liquid. This will help prevent any buildup and ensure a thorough descaling process.

Placing a Container Under Coffee Outlet

To catch the descaling solution during the process, place a container with a capacity of at least 1.5 liters under the coffee outlet. This will ensure that the solution is properly collected and disposed of.

Removing the Water Filter

Before proceeding with the descaling process, remove the water filter from the water tank. This will prevent any interference during the descaling process and allow for a more effective clean.

Filling the Water Tank

Next, fill the water tank with 1 liter of water and two descaling solution packets provided by Nespresso. The descaling solution is specifically formulated to remove limescale and other mineral deposits from your machine, ensuring optimal performance.

Activating the Descaling Mode

To activate the descaling mode, press and hold the Ristretto button while turning on the machine. This will initiate the descaling process and activate the red Ristretto button.

Completing the Descaling Process

During the descaling process, wait for the descaling solution to run out completely. You will notice that the Ristretto button stops flashing red and the Lungo button illuminates. This indicates that the descaling process is complete.

Rinsing the Water Tank

After completing the descaling process, empty and rinse the water tank thoroughly to remove any remaining descaling solution. This will ensure that your coffee is not affected by any residual taste from the descaling solution.

Initiating the Automatic Rinse Cycle

Once the water tank is rinsed, refill it with fresh water. Press the Lungo button to initiate the automatic rinse cycle. The machine will pause during the rinse cycle to allow for thorough cleaning.

Completing the Rinse Cycle

After the pause, press the red Lungo button to continue with the rinse cycle. Once the rinse cycle is complete, all four buttons on the machine will emit a flashing white light. This indicates that the machine is ready for use.
