How to Descale your Nespresso Creatista

Your Nespresso Creatista is great for quick, easy, high-quality coffee when you need it. Therefore, maintaining its health is important to ensure it continues to do so for a long time. Regularly cleaning your machine is easy and doesn't take up too much time.

Have you ever noticed that your coffee tastes slightly off? Then your Nespresso Creatista may need descaling. Descaling is an important aspect of maintenance that only takes around 15 minutes out of your day and we can show you how to do it.

What is Descaling?

Descaling is the process of removing calcium carbonate mineral build-up from the inside of your Nespresso machine. Every time your Creatista is used, the hot water flowing through the machine leaves small deposits of this carbonate that can clog the pipes and cause damage if not treated properly. This build-up can be particularly prevalent in places that use hard water due to a higher concentration of minerals. When you descale your Nespresso Creatista, your machine will be clean, healthy and can produce great coffee again.

How Often Should I Descale My Nespresso Creatista?

Based on your consumption profile and the level of water hardness that you have set in the machine, a descaling alert will trigger when it needs to be descaled. This alert will appear on the display of your machine. If your consumption profile consists primarily of cappuccino, latte macchiato or hot water, the descaling alert will notify you sooner than a profile comprised mainly of regular coffee. Though, like the other Nespresso models, one should descale their Nespresso Creatista every three months or twice a year as a minimum.

What Will I Need?

When descaling your machine, it is recommended that you use a good descaling solution kit. The Urnex Dezcal Activated Scale Remover kit is great for an efficient clean. It’s cheap, non-toxic, biodegradable, safe and works on most machines. For only $3 this will get the job done. You will also need fresh water to mix with the solution and a large container to catch what is expelled.

Now, your Nespresso machine has been descaled and is ready to make amazing coffees again.

Why Go Organic

It is well known that drinking organic coffee not only has health benefits but major environmental benefits too. But why stop there? If you care enough to make the switch to organic coffee, use an organic descaler too. Cafetto Organic Nespresso Machine Descaler is an environmentally friendly descaler as it is non-toxic and biodegradable resulting in less of an impact on the environment. Most products from Artizan Coffee are 100% organic as they are the first company in the world to receive the USDA organic certification for their line of Nespresso compatible capsules. By using these products you can continue drinking amazing coffee and save the environment at the same time.
