Lungo, Espresso, Ristretto, Americano, Hot Water buttons respectively 110 ml / 3.7oz., 40ml / 1.35oz., 25ml / 0.84oz., 150ml and 200ml; automatic OFF mode after 9 minutes; water hardness set by default to hard (corresponds to 1000 Espresso cups)

1. Descale your machine at least once a year if you use soft water
   Note: for hard water, descale twice a year. (If you don't know what type of water you have, check the water tank - hard water tends to leave white marks) .
2. Eject your capsules after each use
3. Change the water tank regularly, and refill with fresh drinking water
4. Empty and clean the capsule container and drip tray on a regular basis
5. For integrated milk devices, activate the cleaning procedure after each use
6. Before your first coffee, brew water without a capsule by pressing any coffee button.

When you do this, you pre-heat your coffee cup while rinsing the extraction system for a better coffee experience.

Your machine may actually have an air bubble. Air bubbles can block the flow of water through the spout. They usually occur if you run the machine without water in the tank or after a period of non-use.

If you own an Essenza or Le Cube machine, lift the coffee lever and push it away from you. You can then press either cup button until water starts flowing from the spout.

Be persistent as you may need to do this several times.

If you own a Citiz, Pixie, U, Maestria or Lattissima machine, fill the water tank, eject any capsule in the chamber, close the coffee lever and press the large cup button. Water should begin to flow from the spout.

For owners of machines with steam pipes (C190, D150, D250, D290, D300, Romeo), you should then activate the steam/hot water function.

All the Nespresso machines are equipped with a 19-bar pressure pump, which provides the power needed to pierce the film of the capsule and release the coffee's 900 or so different aromas.
The shape of the Nespresso capsule has been specially designed to ensure that the pressurized water flows evenly through the ground coffee during extraction. The temperature and flow time are also set to ensure that each precious aroma is expressed.

If there is no coffee flow, please check that:

The main supply cord is not trapped between the water tank and the machine
The water tank is sufficiently full and correctly positioned
Your machine is turned ON (lights ON)
If there is low coffee flow, it means you may need to descale your machine.

1.  For irregular blinking, please check that the machine is not in descaling mode (fast and regular flashing). With the machine ON, try to exit descaling mode by pressing both buttons for 3 seconds. The machine should stop blinking.
2. If there is no light, it means that this machine switches itself OFF automatically after 9 mins (factory settings). This time can be changed to 30 mins.

Procedure:
Switch the machine OFF.
Press the Espresso button for 3 seconds
The Espresso button will blink to indicate the current setting (once for 9 mins, twice for 30 mins)
Press the Espresso button once for 9 mins or twice for 30 mins
To exit, press the Lungo button for 3 seconds.
