Why is my Nespresso button half red and green?
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. Descale the machine to ensure you don’t get cold coffee This removes any limescale, which accumulates naturally in the machine as mineral deposits are left behind whenever the water inside is heated. If the limescale isn’t removed, the machine might stop functioning properly.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.Mineral scale buildup can clog water flow, and if not removed, can cause a machine to stop working. Your coffee won’t be hot enough to enjoy.
What do the buttons on a Nespresso machine 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. Commonly known as an espresso, a single shot of coffee or a standard espresso is often about 40ml. Due to the use of high pressure and very hot water, it creates an intense drink. A ristretto is a little shorter than an espresso, but is very similar. It uses less water and makes a smaller drink, 25ml.We offer four ranges of coffees to be enjoyed as Ristretto (25 ml), Espresso (40 ml), Lungo (110 ml), Decaffeinated (40 ml and 110 ml) or Flavored (40 ml).Open the slider, insert a capsule and close the slider. Ristretto (25 ml) Espresso (40 ml) Lungo (110 ml) Americano (25 ml coffee, 125 ml hot water) Hot water (200 ml) To select your recipe, turn the beverage dial until the desired beverage.

Does Nespresso Atelier heat the milk?
Can I use Nespresso Atelier to make hot milk only? No, the Steam&Froth technology only allows to heat and texture the milk at the same time. It can therefore either make Hot foam or Cold foam. Both frothing and steaming involves heating milk with a steam wand. But there’s a subtle difference. Frothing is done near the surface to create velvety ‘microbubbles’ and pump up the volume. For steaming, the wand is submerged deeper to heat the milk with only a thin layer of foam appearing on top.
