If you love your coffee, you will probably be making plenty of usage from your coffee machine to get your daily fix. But have you ever thought about how dirty your machine can get?
It is important to keep your coffee maker clean and also prevent the growth of bacteria, yeast or even mould.
By descaling your Nespresso machine regularly, you will make sure to remove not just hard water deposits, but also all those other nasties.
Also, the cleaner your machine is, the better your coffee is going to taste. We recommend coffee machine descaling at least twice a year
Descaling can be done in six easy steps and should take about 20 minutes.

Your machine is now ready!
Note: Be sure to use caution on countertops as this acid formula can have a similar effect as that of lemon juice.

Pressogno Espresso Medium Voted best Nespresso Compatible by Coffee Experts
How good is the Capsule Coffee of the Nespresso competition? In a K-Tipp tasting, "Pressogno" came first.
One of the large consumer magazine in Europe, K-Tipp, tasted capsules from eight different manufacturers. The selection included a comparable balanced Espresso blend.
The results of the tasting:
The Jury: Sensory Assessor Eugenia Klauser, Barista Nina Rimpl of Henauer Coffee in Hori ZH, food journalist Patrick Zbinden, Barista Giuliano Bartoli of the Zurich Bar La Stanza and confectioner Kurt Schempp in Zurich .
Tipp: The independent Consumer magazine K-Tipp also tested which coffee capsules work best with Nespresso coffee machines and Pressogno achieved a perfect score of 100%. Some coffee capsules got crushed by the Nespresso machines or only produced a watery coffee.

The details
Water in the capsule container instead of Coffee in the Cup: The new Nespresso Machine models create incompatibility with Capsule Clones. In the test performed by K-Tipp, a large European Consumer Magazine, especially capsules from Coop, Jacobs and Aldi did not work, whereas Pressogno, Café Royal and La Caffè Mocha achieved 100% compatibility.
Nespresso has changed the way capsules are pierced, causing some compatible capsules to no longer function properly. The needles in the latest Nespresso models are so thin, that they are not able to pierce the capsule of some competitors and in the extreme case, will crush the capsule.
The Nespresso machine models "Pixie", "U" and "Inissia" are using the new, thinner injectors. This is "part of our ongoing development" of the capsule system says Nestle.
The problem for customers: While the new, thinner needles work well with the original Nespresso Aluminum capsule, they struggle with some plastic capsules from other manufacturers, as the needles are too thin and can’t pierce through the hard plastic.
The result: crushed capsules, half-full cups and plenty of water in the body, or the machine simply refused their service and turned off.
Our advice: Anyone who has previously used coffee capsules from other manufacturers should keep their Nespresso machine as long as possible, as the new machines do not work with all capsule clones.
These capsules worked:
Capsules from these brands fit into all machines and are 100% compatible with the machines tested:
These capsules did not work
By far the most problems occurred with the following brands:
None of these capsules worked in the Nespresso "U" of Koenig. The needle could not pierce the capsules from Jacobs and the machine shut down.
Water ran passed the Caffè Vergnano capsule straight into the cup.
Jacobs manufacturer Mondelez says: "We are working to regain compatibility as soon as possible. There was a similar statement from Coop, stating that the suppliers would adapt to the changes.
The capsule "Supremo" from 100 % Espresso (available at Aldi) also proved incompatible: The Aluminum foil came off the capsule in almost all the testing. Particularly annoying was that in some cases, the foil was caught in the machine and had to be scraped off with a knife. Aldi is aware of the problem and says that in the problem with the foil has been resolved.
How the test was performed:
K-Tipp bought 12 standard editions of current Nespresso machines from DeLonghi, Koenig, Krups and Turmix . 10 Capsules from 8 different manufacturers were tested in every single machine.

An espresso is made by slowly pouring high-pressure hot water through ground coffee. Just like in the best Italian bars, our coffee takes approximately 20 to 25 seconds to pour out into the cup, the optimal extraction time. Slow extraction is a sign of quality.
Faster extraction may indicate insufficient pressure. For optimal results, please use a good quality Nespresso machine with 19 bar water pressure.
The DeLonghi Nespresso EN95RPLUS is my favourite machine in terms of the quality, performance and simplicity. I love my espresso coffee and this machine won't disappoint.
The machine also works well in a small office environment and should be able to handle up to 50 cups a day. It comes with a 2 year warranty and Nespresso will pick up the machine from your home and provide you with a replacement while it is being fixed, so you won't have to miss your favourite Espresso.
In Australia this machine is currently selling for A$175.00 at the Good Guys, the best deal I could find, which makes this a great buy.
There is more choice for Nespresso drinkers. Why not give Espressorium, the premium alternative for under 50 cents a try? Like the original it comes from Switzerland.
