Hi! No this process is only to do a light cleaning. Nespresso recommends doing this once a week. To descale they recommend doing it once every three months, that process takes about 20 minutes. Where as cleaning takes about 5-7 minutes. If it’s been too long then the machine will eventually warn you that it needs to be descaled. But on this video I’m just doing a weekly cleaning. Hope that makes sense!
My coffee started tasting so bad lately. I’ve had my machine a year and never even thought about cleaning it 😭 Will definitely be doing this weekly, and will be getting the descaling system.
Girl I’ve had my machine since a little before Mother’s Day thanks to you letting us know about the sale. I come back to this video every time I’m cleaning lol.
Just purchased the Vertuo Next and so far so good. Easy to clean and maintain. We've moved recently and had to give up our in cabinet Miele coffee maker which was a work horse but expensive. We tallied almost 7500 coffees before we moved and never had an issue.
@@_Alexmojica Thanks, registered yesterday. This is a very simple machine and have ordered the glass cups and Aeroccino 3 milk accessory to make all the latte's and cappuccinos.
I just love this channel! I am learning so many ways to take care of my machine. Your tips and tricks video brought me here. Thanks for the clean when container is full tip!
My Vertuo next machine broke with in a month of usage. I would brew one coffee pod a day and no matter how much trouble shooting I did, it still would not work properly. Luckily Nespresso replaced it and I was able to choose a different model.
I have already gone through 2 Vertuo Next machines within the past 4 months due to finding coffee grinds in my cup/watered down taste after the cleaning cycle...Upgraded to the Vertuo Plus recently and I love it, but I’m still experiencing the same issue with the grinds? Wondering if you’d have more tips! 😌
The only thing I can think of is releasing the capsule after you brew it instead of leaving it in. I don’t have that problem so I don’t know what it would be 🤔
@@_Alexmojica Oh I’m sure it’s not better. I just thought maybe there are 5 things where Next is better than Plus. You could easily find more things that you like better on Plus. I don’t own any of these. From what I see, I think Plus makes a nicer crema and I also like the way it closes and opens.
Inspired. I cleaned my coffee machine this weekend. Would you review your nespressos. I.e., Crema comparison and taste. I am debating between the vertuoplus, but I would consider the essenzia mini and keep it next to my cusinart coffee machine. It is so cute. The white is oos so I will have to search for it. Keep up the great work. ☕️
I’m not descaling here so no. This is just running hot water to clean weekly. A descale will require a different method and solution that nespresso sells
My vertuo plus is only 1.5 years old and it's making a horrible loud noise now. Nespresso machine about to take off for a space flight. Has this happened to yours?
I thought you had bought the plus, yeah the next seems to be a finicky model. Mine started leaking at the bottom and based on other comments on my channel, lots of people are having issues with it
I would clean my next twice a week and it leaked and it also stopped recognizing pods, I think the next is just a bad machine. I think they need to recall it, fix its issues, and then put it back out into the world.
Yes most of the time depending on your machine it will be pressing the lungo button without a capsule. Letting it run hot water through and repeat three times
I just descaled my Vertuo Plus and put it through the cleaning/rinsing cycle and I can’t get the light on top (red&yellow) off. What am I doing wrong? 🤬😩☕️
Each machine is different I would look to see what the manual calls for. If you have the essenza mini like I did then you do three lungo shots without a capsule
Nespresso has pre labeled bags at check out that you can choose on your order. After you fill one just send it to ups store and they ship them back to be recycled
I don’t think it’s because you didn’t clean it as much, I clean mine every week and it’s still leaking and a lot of coffee grounds in the coffee 🤔 I think it’s just, maybe a bad design? They’re so pretty but defective 😞
Thats awful! Have you called Nespresso? They can help you troubleshoot it which I don’t think will fix it but after you can request a different model if you’d like or a new NEXT. As long you have your machine registered I think it’s worth a shot
I just watched a video regarding the leaking. Unfortunately, seems to be an extremely common problem. The ones that found a fix to this issue said it was a rubber seal problem. They told how to readjust the seal and the problem was resolved.
Do you use the descaling solution?

Great plan! Your coffee will be tasting better in no time!
Always people like you… that’s average… I clean my machine running it with just water after each use without the capsule and is very clean
Girl I’ve had my machine since a little before Mother’s Day thanks to you letting us know about the sale. I come back to this video every time I’m cleaning lol.
You’re welcome! 🥰🥰🥰
I love to run the machine without a coffee pod before and after use. Just a regular espresso shot not the whole thing. It makes a huge difference!
I love how when I have a question, I can look and find an answer in one of your videos! So resourceful Alex!
I’m glad this content helps beyond its years ! 🤗🥰
Great simple explanation (so much better that the manufacturers video) 👏Have you a similar video for descaling ?
Thank you! And extra thanks for not giving us a 45 minute intro like most people do =P
I dislike long intros, I’ll start sweating 😅
Thank you for the step by step instructions. You went at a perfect speed to follow along and gave lots of great advice. Lots of good learning tools 👍
Glad you found out helpful!
I’m on my second Vertuo next machine. Found this video and doing this each time. Also coming to check this video every time 😆😆😆 Thanks

Thats awesome! My boss used to own one of those and loved it! Welcome to Nespresso! Don’t forget to register your machine
@@_Alexmojica Thanks, registered yesterday. This is a very simple machine and have ordered the glass cups and Aeroccino 3 milk accessory to make all the latte's and cappuccinos.
@@rdl4530 yay! Enjoy!
I really enjoy watching your videos. You present the topic clearly. Much appreciation for your style.
Awww thanks! And here I am thinking I’m all over the place 😅
Thank you so much. I bought my machine in Israel and don't speak Hebrew. So this was perfect.
Top notch! Thanks for the assistance.
While watching this, I started to clean my
Nespresso machine 😂
Awesome! Did you get a lot of gunk out 😃
I use a refillable pod and have to do this more often. Thanks 😍
me too
I need to go clean my machine ASAP! Thank you !! 😃
You’re welcome! 😄
In San Antonio, We have very hard limestone water. I use a solution of water and vinegar to the lime scale in the tank.
Always refer back to your video! Love it 😊🫶🏼
Yay glad it helps!
I just love this channel! I am learning so many ways to take care of my machine. Your tips and tricks video brought me here. Thanks for the clean when container is full tip!
Thank you! Glad you love it!
I just got a plus and love it
OMG! We’ve had our machine three weeks and fill up the container every two to three days. I’m off to clean it now.
Do you leave the pod container out when it is cleaning ? My problem I’ve had is it leaks water , I know I wasn’t cleaning the cycle as much
Thank you for all these great videos! Love your channel and instagram page!
Awesome! Thanks for showing us how to properly clean it!
You’re welcome!
Thank you for the tip. Great video.
Thank you for this reminder! I’m going to clean mine right now 🥰
Yes 👏🏼
Thank you so much you have saved the Day!!
Just found your channel love it and didn’t know about the recycle bin just bought it so thank you thank you thank you
Awesome!

I have just purchased mine, too. I did the first cleaning and in the water I found a lot of coffee grinds. Do you know why?
I cant do it. I need you to come over and show me.
This seemed so much easier than cleaning the Keurig lol
This is just a light cleaning with water but when you descale it it runs a 20 minute cycle give or take although I hear keurig takes 45 minutes 😳
Thank you so much for the video

The only thing I can think of is releasing the capsule after you brew it instead of leaving it in. I don’t have that problem so I don’t know what it would be 🤔
What if the water doesn’t run? Container is still full machines makes all the noise but nothing is happening
Give it a few minutes otherwise I’d call customer service I don’t know what it could be
Do you have a video on how you clean your aeroccino?
How about a video about Top 5 things Vertuo Next is better than Vertuo Plus?
I don’t think it’s better 😭 it has a few flaws. Only thing it has going for itself is the Carafe option.
@@_Alexmojica Oh I’m sure it’s not better. I just thought maybe there are 5 things where Next is better than Plus.
You could easily find more things that you like better on Plus. I don’t own any of these. From what I see, I think Plus makes a nicer crema and I also like the way it closes and opens.

Thank you! I will try and make a video on their comparisons great idea! Do you have any Nespresso machines right now?
Hello, Did you add vinegar or any particular solution during this process. Thank you
I’m not descaling here so no. This is just running hot water to clean weekly. A descale will require a different method and solution that nespresso sells
Hi. How about adding vinegar. ?
I prefer using what the company has made for the machine. I personally haven’t used vinegar
What is that black container? Where you put the used pods.
It’s from Nespresso! I linked it in the description box
Hello, after cleaning progress, light on the top isn't green. Is red/orange and coffe leaking from the bottom of the machine. Thank you
I would call their customer service 😮 sounds like you might have gotten a defective machine
If I want hot water, is this a good way to make hot water? Or is there a better way? This is a tip that I'm having trouble finding. Thanks!
Just run a lungo without a capsule until you get enough water you need
My vertuo plus is only 1.5 years old and it's making a horrible loud noise now. Nespresso machine about to take off for a space flight. Has this happened to yours?
No but i recommend calling their customer service
I have the vertuo next and I've had it for two days and it already has issues ? Does vertuo next have alot of issues ?
I thought you had bought the plus, yeah the next seems to be a finicky model. Mine started leaking at the bottom and based on other comments on my channel, lots of people are having issues with it
How do you clean the machine from the original line that you have? I have the same model but don't know how to clean it/
Three Lungo brews without a capsule
thanks for sharing! can the essenza mini be cleaned the same way?
With that I believe it’s three runs of Lungo without capsule but not sure exactly.
I would clean my next twice a week and it leaked and it also stopped recognizing pods, I think the next is just a bad machine. I think they need to recall it, fix its issues, and then put it back out into the world.
Hello Alex, thank you for your videos :)
Can we do the same thing for Nespresso Original Line?
Yes most of the time depending on your machine it will be pressing the lungo button without a capsule. Letting it run hot water through and repeat three times
Alex Mojica Thank you :)
What do you do with the used pods once your recycling bin is full? Does your city recycling center accept them?
You have to send them back to nespresso with one of their free prepaid labeled bags
Is the cleaning process the same for the smaller nesspresso machine next to it? That’s the kind I have
I would look up the manual on google, it’s different and I no longer have that machine ☹️
I just descaled my Vertuo Plus and put it through the cleaning/rinsing cycle and I can’t get the light on top (red&yellow) off. What am I doing wrong? 🤬😩☕️
Call their customer service they’ll be able to trouble shoot, their number is at the contact us section on their website
@@_Alexmojica thank you
How do you do this on the original line?
Run three lungo shots without capsule
Is it the same for the original line?
Each machine is different I would look to see what the manual calls for. If you have the essenza mini like I did then you do three lungo shots without a capsule
I Run water without the coffe capsule every time after each use in a empty coffe cup to push out the rest and that’s it
It’s not as thorough as the cleaning cycle, I would still do what they recommend
What if you put vineger? It can reaaalllly clean it no?
I rather use what they recommend
And this is a cleaning cycle with just water not a descale
does the container that stores the pods end up w moldy water?
My Vertuo Next machine used to have that happen but then it broke. I haven’t noticed it with my plus.
@@_Alexmojica oh weird i wonder why it does that. thanks so much for replying.
Can I used distilled water? Or Aquafina water ?
I think so, they say as long as it’s potable water it’s good to use in their machines
Where do you recycle the pods to?
Nespresso has pre labeled bags at check out that you can choose on your order. After you fill one just send it to ups store and they ship them back to be recycled
How do you clean your OL weekly?
Run three lungo cycles without a pod in it
I don’t think it’s because you didn’t clean it as much, I clean mine every week and it’s still leaking and a lot of coffee grounds in the coffee 🤔
I think it’s just, maybe a bad design? They’re so pretty but defective 😞

@@maureensharma7683 thanks for letting us know this! I’m sure it’ll be helpful for those with this issue☺️
How do you clean your nespresso original machine?
To clean (not descale) you do three lungo brews without a capsule in it.
If you’re trying to descale I don’t remember how to do that but they have the pdf manuals online
My machines light is half red and half orange.
Have you descaled it?
AND Maggots worms can build in the coffee dispenser. Check yours!!
My machine has been leaking water and I just bought it.
Oh no! Call their customer service ASAP!
Thanks for help, btw your eyes are so mesmerizing, they are upturned like a cat =D
Thank you!
Vertuo Next is a joke....is not a coffee machine.
Agree
Thank you for help🤍
You’re welcome!
