Excellent Instructions! Nespresso's are like watching a dumb-show, or a foreign language film without subtitles - hopeless! |

If you have a VERY short memory, these directions are perfect. I followed them all and my Nespresso is sparkling! The coffee flows much more quickly, especially the Ristretto, which is clearly stronger. |

Thanks! I found this article and finally figured out how to descale my Essenza machine. The Nespeesso instructions are ridiculous. |

Excellent article. Since the Nespresso website does not have written step by step instructions this is a lifesaver. The cleaning kit only comes with pictures. |
