Installation
- Unpackage your Nespresso VertuoLine Capsules and remove the foil seal from the base.
- Open your Nespresso VertuoLine Machine and insert the capsule color-side down.
- Close the machine ensuring a snug fit. If the capsule is inserted correctly, the machine's lever should feel natural and secure.
Brewing
- Ensure your water reservoir is filled to the designated maximum line.
- Press the blinking button on top of the machine to start the brewing process. The machine will start with pre-wetting or 'blooming' the coffee grounds for perfect extraction. This entire process takes about 15-20 seconds.
- The extraction process will then start. The machine will spin up to 7,000 times a minute to blend water and coffee producing the perfect crema for your coffee or espresso.
- Coffee will dispense into your cup. After the brewing process is complete, the capsule will be automatically ejected into the used capsule container.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Maintenance is vital for the longevity and optimal performance of your Nespresso machine. Here are a few tips:
- Clean the water tank and lid with a non-abrasive cloth or sponge and soapy water daily.
- The used capsule container and drip tray should be emptied and cleaned periodically.
- Descale your Nespresso VertuoLine Machine every 6 months, or as indicated by the machine.
