What To Do If Your Nespresso Coffee Isn't Hot Enough
BY Wendy Leigh
While Nespresso machines brew their coffees at a slightly lower temperature than other brands, you might find your coffee isn’t as hot as it should be.
A buildup of mineral deposits in the appliance can eventually cause coffee to brew at lower temperatures, creating a need to descale the Nespresso machine.
Descaling is a very common maintenance need for most espresso-style machines. Nespresso recommends doing it every three months or after 300 used capsules.
However, there are a few other options to get hotter coffee. The first method is to preheat your mug with boiling water and then empty it before pouring in your coffee.
You can also use a wooden stir stick instead of a metal one and warm the milk or cream with a frother or in a stovetop pan before adding it to your coffee.
