Here’s what to do either way.

I could have avoided that pretty easily with a little extra effort.

First of all, consider using fresh water for every brew.

Adding vinegar to a Nespresso reservoir to descale it

Each morning, put just enough water in the reservoir to meet your coffee needs.

To keep your machine clean on the outside, wipe it down regularly.

Wiping it down after every use is best, but venture to do it at least once every week.

Finally, each machine is a little different, but they all have removable parts.

Dry them completely and reattach them.

Keep doing this until the water reservoir runs out of mixture.

Be careful not to overwork your poor Keurigconsider giving it a half-hour break between descaling and rinsing.

If youre nervous about messing up your machine, justbuy the Nespresso cleaning products.

But online,plenty of peoplehave discussed using vinegar to clean their machines out.

If youre going to try it, first dilute the vinegar significantly.

Next, press the lever down once to start descaling.

The process will take a while, and will empty your reservoir.

(Conversely, I just brewed a cup of the mixture and had no issues.)
