When, Why and How?
Nespresso suggests that you descale your Nespresso machine once per every 300 brews. Descaling is an essential part of maintaining your Nespresso machine since it removes calcium deposits that have built up inside the machine. Calcium deposits can lead to poor performance and ultimately, an early grave for your lovely coffee maker.
In New Zealand, Nespresso sells a descaling solution pack for $20 (22nd October 2015). You get two sachets which will gives you two descales. We sell a single descaling sachet that gives you two descales for just $5. This will give you four descales. Much better value by far.
Nespresso have heaps of cash and have made some nice videos to show people how to descale their Nespresso machines. All the Nespresso machine models that are available in New Zealand are covered and the best thing is that they are free to watch with no obligation to buy the Nespresso descaling solution.
