Have you purchased a Krups coffee machine compatible with Nespresso® pods?Congratulations, you’re now well-equipped to make quick and delicious espressos! However, to ensure the longevity of your machine and to enjoy great coffee for as long as possible, did you know that regular maintenance is essential? Descaling your Krups coffee machine is an essential step: here’s how to do it.
Why should you descale your Nespresso® Krups Machine?
What happens if you don’t descale your machine regularly? Limescale can build up over time, which may deteriorate your machine and cause leaks. This type of issue is not covered by the customer service, as it is not a machine defect but a maintenance issue.
If descaling is not carried out, the quality and especially the temperature of your coffee may decrease, leading to a less satisfying coffee experience.
Descaling your Nespresso® Krups coffee machine offers several benefits:
Extending the lifespan of your espresso machine
Saving energy
Reducing repair costs that may arise (such as from limescale build-up)
Ensuring consistent, high-quality coffee preparation over time
Nespresso® Krups Descaling: How often should you descale your pod machine?
For optimal results, it is recommended to descale your Nespresso® Krups machine once a year. However, if you have hard water, consider increasing the descaling frequency to maintain the machine’s performance. To determine your water’s hardness, use specially designed test strips.
Additionally, make sure to consult the descaling instructions specific to your coffee machine model, as they may vary slightly.
