What happens if I don’t descale Nespresso?
If cleaning is neglected, the taste of your coffee could be impacted, as could the lifespan of your machine. Nespresso machines should be cleaned nearly daily if they’re being used regularly. Otherwise, residue will pile up inside, which can cause blockages and lead to a buildup of dangerous bacteria. Of course, all Nespresso models — from Vertuo machines to mini coffee makers — have a warranty of two years, meaning the appliance is likely to last for at least that time frame. When used carefully, a Nespresso machine can actually work for up to 10 years.
