2. Easy to clean
A clean Nespresso machine is an essential component of enjoying the finest cup of coffee you can get. A build-up could cause a drastic impact on the flow and quality your coffee. Regular cleaning with a Caffeine & Tea Cleaning Capsule can help prevent this from happening and ensures that your coffee machine is running smoothly.

It's simple to remove and throw away, and a second drawer houses bottles of special cleaner manufactured by Krups.
The cleaners are then dissolved in water and then run through the machine before cleaning. After the cleaning process is completed wash the tank and other parts with fresh water. According to the directions in the manual of your machine you can add a descaler in the water tank after it has become empty. Descaling eliminates mineral deposits from the thermoblock and heating element, which is a major cause of poor performance.
After you have descaled your machine, you can now make fresh coffee. It's important to rinse the machine after each use, to avoid a build-up of coffee grounds and oil. If you're using steam wands or a milk container, make sure to clean them after every use. It's also a good idea to run a cleaning cycle every two or three months to keep your machine running smoothly and avoid the build-up of scale. If you don't follow this the machine will notify you to run a clean cycle. The process does not need to be run immediately after the warning, but it should be completed within a short period of time.
