What do Nespresso buttons mean?
On a Nespresso® U model, there are three different buttons / cup sizes to choose from – Lungo, Espresso or Ristretto. We recommend a cup size of 100 ml for a Lungo, 40 ml for an Espresso and 25 ml for a Ristretto. If you double tap the brew button on your Nespresso machine, it gives you a ristretto on espresso sizes, a double espresso on mug sizes and a single espresso on all other sizes.Nespresso’s Vertuo machine can make a double shot espresso from a single capsule and press of a button.

How do I prevent Nespresso problems?
To ensure proper functionality of your machine, we advise to descale your machine regularly. Descale your machine after a consumption of 400 to 600 capsules, at least three times a year. Use Nespresso’s descaling agent. This descaling agent has been specially developed for Nespresso machines. Nespresso OriginalLine machines have a grid plate inside that breaks the foil of the pods. Over time, coffee grounds can build up on this grid plate which can cause blockages and lead to extraction issues. Cleaning it is simple – you’ll just need an old toothbrush and some soapy water.CLEAN YOUR MACHINE REGULARLY Since you regularly use a Nespresso machine, over time the machine will have a build of coffee particles and coffee oils in the brewing chamber. This means that the old residues will remain in the machine and block your nozzles resulting in bitter coffee and poor flow of coffee.When you clean your machine, you can effectively remove these impurities. It’s a good idea to clean the coffee carafe with soap and water after every use, and deep clean your machine with a cleaning solution roughly once a month. The purpose of descaling is different. The goal is to remove mineral buildup.It’s important to never use vinegar to descale your Nespresso coffee machine. Doing so can cause serious damage to your machine. It’s always best to use a Nespresso Descaling Kit and follow your user manual when descaling.If your machine is left alone without cleaning, that residue will have a few undesirable effects on your coffee: Your coffee will begin to taste bitter. Your coffee and coffee machine will produce an acrid smell. Coffee residue can cause clogging and blockages that can render a machine unusable.

The drink size of each pod is specific to each capsule type dictated by that special barcode on the pod; there’s Alto, Mug, Gran Lungo, Double Espresso or Espresso. But you can alter this on your machine if you want and the machine will store it as a new saved preference. The programming is specific to each capsule size, Alto, Mug, Gran Lungo or Espresso.
