What To Do If There's Mold In Your Nespresso Machine
BY LUNA REGINA
The exact steps to clean mold vary from one Nespresso model to the next, but if you want to do it yourself before consulting Nespresso, try these four simple steps.
Eject the used capsules, unplug the machine, and wipe it. Detach removable parts like the water tank, pod container, drip tray, steam wand, milk carafe, milk frother, and nozzles.
Wash them in unscented dish soap and hot water for at least 30 minutes using a toothbrush or Q-tips. If your machine comes with cleaning tools for the steam wand, use them.
Fill the water tank with water and Nespresso's descaling solution, and put everything back into their places. Place a large container under the outlet, and "descale" the machine.
Finally, flush the system a few times until the water smells normal, which is advised after a period of non-use. Empty the container and the drip tray, and you're good to go.
