Why is my Nespresso not making the right size coffee?
What can I do? All Original Nespresso machines have an Espresso (small) and Lungo (large) cup button. They should pour your coffee to 40ml and 110ml, respectively. If the pour volumes on your machine are different to this, the cup size settings may have been changed or the machine may need to be descaled. Rinse the coffee maker by running it through two brewing cycles using a full carafe of fresh, cool water each time.To descale a coffee machine, you can use vinegar, lemon juice, or pick up a descaling product from the shop. Thinking about what to use to descale a coffee machine? Depends on what you’ve got handy or what your machine needs.The descaling alert appears when the light becomes green and red. Only several coffees can be made after this alert appears before descaling becomes mandatory. Close the machine by pushing the lever down. Fill the water tank with one unit of nespresso descaling liquid and at least 17 ounces of water.Simply press the button to brew your pods into shorter, more concentrated shots ideal for coffee recipes.
