Nespresso Inissia: How to descale your Inissia machine 

9 years later , still I'm here rewatching this video and descaling my Nespresso machine with Vinegar :)

Finally convinced my office we need to descale our machine LOL very helpful but definitely need to press the buttons for more than 3 seconds to enter descale mode

Thank you Nesspresso, your directions work in Hong Kong! Drink right away and it was superb.

I started watching this video looking to clean my Nespresso machine. Before I knew it, I was hot and sweaty in bed with the Nespresso machine.

Well,with that music it's a good job I didn't ask my Nespresso machine to go on a date...

Pretty much the same instructions as with cleaning the Pixie. Thank you much!

Does this descaling method also clean the brew chamber?

I followed this whole video and it worked PERFECTLY!!!! THANNKKKK YOU! ❤ only other thing I did was run the water through at the end 5 times for the lungo setting. Then i brewed my coffee and it tastes amazing! I descaled my machine because it started having a bitter taste to the coffee. Tastes brand new now!

Thank u so much! You saved my life 🙏

This videos are oddly satisfying to watch 😅

the inissia manual (page 14) mention to descale between 1000 to 4000 cups of 40ml coffee depending of water hardness. I drink max 2 expresso per day so ~ 730 per year, so I need to descale every 2000 coffee because of water hardness, so it's ~2-3 years.

Благодаря за видеото което сте направили... Понеже не намерих същия разтворител за котлен камък на неспресо взех друг вариант който е на прах по същия начин както показвайте и аз така направих и кафето си тече нормално вече...

Easy enough to follow still great coffee

Very helpful, thank you. Last time I made such a hash of it I had to ring the help desk to re program my machine 😂

thanks - easy to follow guide and worked on my machine the same.

Thank you for the clear instructions!

I rinse it twice instead of once with water before quitting the descalling mode. The very first espresso does taste weird, I wonder if it's "bitter" because it's clean or chemical taste. It's not that bad actually. I think it will be gone in next few coffee. At least it's done, it was like ~3-4years.

Followed your guide by heart, but instead of 2 times washing with fresh water I washed 5 and also wasted 2 coffee capsules to be safe.. And it works wonders! No sign of chemical into my coffee and works again like new!

I wish my nespresso machine was as quiet as this one xD Still very handy thing to have though. And tasty coffee !

No problems with the instructions and only run an extra 1.5 liters through and coffee is fine and descaling solution not toxic unless you drink it straight.

This video is very useful and I admire the soft porn background music.

Flashing lights got stuck. Called the help line, and was told to do the descaling again, following the RU-vid video. Did not want to do that as I would be using a second descaling liquid pouch. Looked up video online on how to fix the issue. Found a RU-vid video with very simple instruction, which was to hold both buttons for 5 seconds. It worked. In case anyone out there has the same poor service from Nespresso, this is how you get it un-stuck

Lo ví más para entretenerme que otra cosa ajjajaja, excelente vídeo, muy claro y estético

me ha gustado mucho,pues se ha explicado muy bien

Como podemos traduzir o comentário do video? Quando não temos o inglês como primeira língua, porque não aparece um video com as instruções na língua onde a máquina foi vendida e onde a nespresso tem representação?

Just did the descaling and as everybody says you need to rinse it with water at least 5-6 times. You can smell the water and see the clarity of the water to understand if there is still some chemicals in the system. I did that rinsing cycle 5 times I believe and then pulled 2 espresso shots to make sure it is okay.

Please could you forewarn that in the process the water tray must not be emptied to the last drop, that you have to watch and push to stop if it is going to be empty, because the air can go inside the machine and you will have a new problem, the machine will not pour water again. I had to throw away my inissia coffee machine because I think I burned it trying to return it to the normal operation. So, better not to do this operation, but if you are going to do it, watch the water tray, don’t let it be emptied

I can't exit the descaling mode and start making coffee.

Had to hold buttons for at least 10 sec but then it started working 💪

Хорошая информация!

J ai petite et grande tasse es ce qu on peut programmer une tasse plus grande

Gracias! La tengo como nueva! Eso sí, hice lo que dijeron x ahí, 5 veces con agua después del descalificante, y dos cápsulas de café a la basura estoy escribiendo este comentario tomándome mi cafelito

My mum forgot to take off the capsule (used) from the machine and it stayed there when we were descaling our machine. Should we repeat the descaling process?

How much does the descaling kit cost please :) Im in South Africa

Grazie, molto utile! 😊

Grazie per la spiegazione, sono riuscita a fare la decalcificazione ma, come ho visto in altri commenti, ho tenuto premuto più di 3 secondi per accedere alla modalità indicata, ho aspettato il necessario finché le luci hanno iniziato a lampeggiare velocemente. Ora mi godo il caffè buono come la prima volta.

I followed the instructions as well and i decided to flush it with clean water twice(i only use purified water to begin with) and i didn't taste any of the solution, i brewed an espresso just with water and could taste anything but water. The cloudy water is just heated up water it clears if you let it sit for a bit....

3 seconds? not on mine, more like 6-7 seconds. also it sometimes needs to be unplugged during the process because it won't start the next cycle no matter what i press. lastly, it takes about 10 cycles of 500ml just to get the taste of the descaling solution out of the espresso.

If I use distilled water all the time, do I still have to descale the machine? I use an old coffee maker that also has the steam thingy, never had problems using distilled water. I want to buy and try one, but I'm scared of the chemical part thou....

Возможно я сделала что-то не так, но после мигания кнопок,я зажала их на три секунды, судя по инструкции, и моя кофемашина просто выключилась. В итоге я не поняла, очищала ли я в режиме удаления накипи или просто так, но теперь мне страшно пить кофе даже после четырёх полосканий. Пахнет химией, я боюсь отравиться.

Ottimo prodotto,lo uso ogni due anni e funziona bene senza lasciare tracce di descaler👍🏻😃👍🏻il liquido rimanente lo ho usato anche per liberare dal calcare delle pompette a immersione uso hobbistica ...👍🏻

I got through one cycle of descaling and then my machine presumably air locked and now there is no flow through and out through the coffee outlet, any official advice on how to solve this?

If i didnt use the machine for almost a year since the last descale, will i need to descale once i use it again?

Vielen Dank. Sehr nützlich.

als ik drie seconden op die knopjes druk gaat de machine weer uit?

Rili yortx?

Hello, Should i descale my machine that i even using spring water and how often ideal ?

How to dismantle the machine

mennyi víz kell a tartályba a vízkőtelenítéshez?

Az első kör után mikor elfogy a folyadék a tartályból, valószínűleg levegő kerül a rendszerbe. Ami azt eredményezi, hogy a második kör nem tud elindulni, nem tud folyadékot beszívni a tartályból. Tavaly ugyanígy jártam, ezért most gondoltam megelőzöm a bajt, utántöltöttem a tartályt, hogy a program lejártakor biztosan ne maradjon üres, nehogy újra levegőt szívjon be. Hiába, ugyanaz történt, most próbálom nagyjából huszadjára újra indítani a programot, de csak küzd és küzd, nem tudja a tartályból beszívni a folyadékot. Talán majd holnap tudom folytatni, de lehet csak 2 nap múlva. Addig pedig kávét sem ihatok. Ilyenkor legszívesebben kihajítanám az ablakon ezt a gépet...

Mine dit continous flashing of buttons between rinses. After second rinse the button glow went away. Do not know if this a problem

Is the water supposed to be hot?

Helpful tutorial, but I had to press the buttons 8 seconds to enter and to exit the descaling mode ; 3 secs were not enough. Also you should empty the drip tray after each iteration, or it will quickly overflow.

when I descale my machine this video seems to be wrong, my machine won't do any thing. but when I hold them down untill it runs .

I followed the instructions but it didn't work!! The descaling process didn't start after the 3 seconds.

Which one is the lungo button? How am I supposed to know that?

Guys, are you sure that you used instructions exactly for Inissia? Perhaps, you used it for another model? I'm asking because i did just as the video says and everything is fine. No chemical taste or smell. Coffee, by the way, became better after this operation.

When I go for descaling mode my pixie went ded. Then i pressed both buttons for 3 secs it started to descale and lights were blinking. Is this correct behaviour?

Are you using tap water or mineral water ?

Una domanda perfavore. La mia macchina di caffe lattessima One e ancora nuova ma non monta più il latte .il cappuccino senza schiuma. Come mai?

this descaling mode is not working, I press it starts blinking but then it starts working without pressing lungo and then I cannot enter the lungo mode again, it keeps blinking no matter what I press. So I had to take to turn it off completely and just press lungo as in making regular coffee... not sure if I did it correctly

for to enter in descaling mode it need to touch simulty the keys for 5 seconds. Also for to out descaling mode in Inissia model.

Great help thank you,

Muy bien explicado,

Just used it, works like new, the water flow is much faster now, like brand new

For anyone looking at this video just hold down the two buttons and peer under your fingers, you should see when they start to rapidly flash

Where can I find the descaling solution in Brazil?

Quindi non si usa il decalcificante ma si pulisce solo con acqua?

Very important note: after the first and the second descaling process, empty the dip tray, which you can see at 0:46 If you don’t do that then water will flow out from the dip tray. // Fontos: az első és második vízkőtelenítési folyamat után, az alsó csepegtető tartályt ki kell üríteni (ami 0:46 -nál látható), különben kifolyik a víz a kávéfőző alá.

What do you do if the buttons on your inissia don’t stop blinking?

If i press the 2 buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds, as you said, unfortunately my inissia machine is turning off.

Nice descaling video, however one key point is missed; how to stop the machine once the descaling fluid passes through the the machine? I pushed every combination of buttons I could think of but couldn’t stop the machine until I unplugged it!

Ma machine ne coule plus du tout. Le détartrage comme ci-dessus ne fonctionne donc pas. Que puis-je faire ?

Thank you vidios good

What could be wrong with my machine - whenever I press those two buttons at the same time, the machine simply goes off!They don't flash at all!

Thank you for the video, but my machine doesn't start descaling after pressing both buttons for 3 sec. That drove me mad. I pushed buttons simultaneously and they simply stopped glowing (switched off), so after some efforts I managed to start descaling using a scheme: buttons stop blinking, push them for 5 sec, they stop glowing, push them again for few seconds, then the descaling starts. It takes about 10 seconds. I think you should update your video to list the actual process, like "push for 4-10 seconds".

Everyone, did any of you rinse it just once like in the video or you rinse it more than three times to get the chemical taste out of the machine?

Can I use white vinegar?

Quando devo fazer a descalcificação?

I couldn’t enter the descaling mode despite pressing the buttons for more than 3 seconds and even longer. I just used the lungo function several times - hope it still works!! Did anyone do the same?

Bonjour je n’arrive pas à quitter le mode détartrage le fait d’appuyer sur les 2 boutons simultanément et qu’ils clignotent pendant 25 secondes ne fonctionne pas

Onde compra o produto para descalcificação?

can I use the regular soap?

Yeah, I've descaled my machine and five full cycles of clean water later, I can still taste the descaling solution.

Disastro completo. Ho riempito con mezzo litro di acqua e la soluzione ma non ho abbassato il meccanismo di chiusura. Non mi sono accorto che la soluzione stava uscendo dal fondo e ho allagato la cucina. Ho ripetuto l'operazione correttamente con la seconda busta del kit. Come se non bastasse dalle foto non avevo capito che andava reinserita la soluzione uscita e lho pure gettata via. Quindi ho fatto un ciclo con soluzione uscita chissà da dove è un secondo senza reinserimento. Mi chiedo che devo fare ora. Non ho capito se poi l'acqua da mixare con la soluzione debba essere di rubinetto o di bottiglia.

Where can I get the descaling solution?

Nie wiedziałam jak wyjąć zużytą kapsułkę i rozmontowałam od podstawy teraz nie mogę to złożyć Co mam zrobić Helena

Puede ser que me lo esplique en español

Magyarul hol találom az infókat?????

Doesnt work. When i press the two button simultaneously, the machine turns off.

Спасибо!!!

A cada quanto tenho que fazer isso ? Como sei que devo fazer isso ?

Descale once a year correct?

My machine automatically starts the descaling run after just pressing the two buttons (IE, i don’t press the lungo button).

I thought Nespresso Policy was to keep hands clean and hygienic finger nails?

After the descaling process I threw away 2 cups full of water. Then I tried my first cup of coffee and i could taste the chemicals, the second was similar, 3rd cup tasted okayish, 4th cup was similar to the original but traces of chemicals came back, 5th cup tasted nearly right, 6th cup tasted like heaven but I had to rush to A+E as I was scared at how fast my heart started beating.

I followed the instructions, but mine turns off when I try to hold the two buttons for three seconds

Двух очисток, как указано в видео, однозначно мало. Привкус химии в кофе.
