2. Easy to clean

A clean Nespresso machine is an essential element to enjoying the most delicious cup of coffee possible. Sludge buildup can drastically impact the quality and flow of your coffee. Caffeine & Tea capsules for cleaning aid in preventing this and keep the coffee machine running smoothly. Make use of capsules each month or every 30 cups to ensure you have the perfect cup, and keep your Nespresso machine healthy.

Basic Nespresso machines such as the Mini and Essenza are easy to clean, as they only move water or coffee through their digestive tracts. The Lattissima line, however, allows milk to be added into the equation. This can lead to lots of froth which requires cleaning. Fortunately, the EA9010 is one of the few machines to make this process swift and easy. A door on the front of the machine opens to reveal a large bucket that holds the spent grounds from espresso, referred to as "pucks". It's simple to open and throw this away, while a different drawer is home to bottles of a special cleaner made by Krups.

These cleaners are dissolved in water and then run through the machine prior to a cleaning cycle. After that, the tank as well as other parts of the machine can be rinsed off with fresh water. As per the instructions in your machine's manual you can also add a descaler to your water tank once it is empty. Descaling removes mineral deposit from the thermoblock and heating element, which is a major cause of the poor performance of your machine.

After you've descaled the machine, it's time to start making fresh coffee. Clean the machine following each use to prevent a buildup of coffee grounds or oil. If you use a separate steam wand or milk container, make sure to clean them after every use. It's also a good idea to run a cleaning cycle every month or once, which will help keep your machine functioning efficiently and avoid the build-up of scale. If you do not follow this, your machine will alert you to run a clean cycle. You don't need to run the cycle immediately when you see the warning but you should do so within a short amount of time.
