How to descale and clean your Nespresso inissia coffee machine?
Hello, coffee lovers! If you’re an avid Nespresso Inissia machine user, then you know how important it is to keep it clean and descaled. A clean and descaled Nespresso Inissia machine ensures that you get the best tasting coffee every time you use it.
In this blog post, we’ll be discussing how to descale and clean your Nespresso Inissia machine so that you can continue to enjoy your favorite coffee without any bitterness or strange flavors.
Why descaling and cleaning your Nespresso Inissia machine is important?
Over time, your Nespresso Inissia machine will develop a build-up of calcium and mineral deposits in the water tank and other components. This build-up can affect the taste and quality of your coffee, causing it to taste bitter and strange.
Regular cleaning and descaling of your Nespresso Inissia machine will remove any build-up and ensure that you get the best tasting coffee every time.
What you’ll need:
- A descaling solution (either Nespresso’s descaling solution or a generic descaling solution)

How to descale your Nespresso Inissia machine:
- Turn off your Nespresso Inissia machine and unplug it from the power source.
