This is our second K-Classic. We had our first one for many years, so when we had to replace it, we wanted nothing else but this exact kzbin.infoUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf model. We use it for about three people everyday in the morning. The taste and quick brew is one of the reasons we like it so much. There are so many choices of brands of coffee that we would grab what was on sale and test the different brands from there. I would definitely recommend trying different brands of coffee to find the ones you like the most because there are brands that quite frankly taste horrible.

Video really could have done with explaining how to turn the machine off. I thought it meant turning it off at the main socket. There isn't an off switch on the machine, you have to put it on the lowest setting and leave it for a minute or so until the lights go off then hold the switch to the right for 10 seconds

True.

Easy to follow the guide. Well done for the clean explanation. We love our coffee machine. ♥

Excellent instructions..THANKYOU

[@Use_Your_Noodle]

Steps: Make sure the lights are off and your machine doesn't have a pod in/has the cleaner pod in. If light doesn't go off switch off at wall and switch back on. It'll go off after a few seconds. 1. Mix your descaler 500ml (pint) according to instructions and pour into lumio tank. 2. Hold lever to hot for 10s or so. The light on the roller bit will flash green/orange. 3. Let go and put a container/jug under and move lever to hot. It'll half empty the tank over approx 2 mins or so. Move lever to cold it'll empty the rest. 4. Wait 2 mins or so while you rinse and then refil the tank to full. 5. Look for 4th bar lighting up and then Move lever to cold and let it run. It'll empty. 6. Refil tank. Move to hot. When it pops back refill the tank. 7. move the lever to cold. Let it stand until the roller light goes green. 8. Clean/wipe pod bay. Done. Refil tank before next cup.

Helpful! Thanks mine works great as instructed!

[@cierapereira9625]

People must be really stupid on here, because the video is very straight forward. Some of these comments are mind blowing

[@SjaakV]

Thanks for the helpfull video Nescafé! We we're struggling last time with a manual, this made it much more clear!

[@DianaParracho]

Thank you so much for the video, it’s so much easier when we see the steps! ❤️

[@klaudii_kz]

W końcu normalny , czytelny przekaz 💙🏆

[@EasternUNO]

Thank you very much for amazing guide! We have this model for 3 years and it was always showing us yellow light even when we cleaned it. We thought that we have water with high amount of minerals, so we did not care about it that much. However, now it seems that we were not putting enough cleaning liquids. Now it shows us green light when we combined 0.5L of water and 0.15L of cleaning liquid :)

[@the5kyliner]

very good instructions! thank you NESCAFÉ

[@romadelacruz1145]

Omg this video is really helpful thank you so much 🙏🏼

[@monique9072]

worked perfect for me, maybe you must add that you need to fill the tank with cleanwater untill max, that worked for me,

[@tnoeldillon]

Great instruction video. Very clear. Descaled my lumio no problem.

[@bebrasha]

Hello future me! That sound the descaler makes in the first step makes me think the Kraken is being released :D seems to be working in any case.

[@BlessedAreTheBignoses]

Same with mine, cold rinse does not stop, not going to wait 20 seconds after run dry to see if turns green. Not sure what sort of pump or just pressurised but doubt it will be good for it to run dry for any length of time (but I could be wrong). After the hot my lights starts a 4/5 & does not move.

[@rioruruvinkbarley1058]

So can I descale the machine without those grey pod thingy or it’s important to have those grey pod to do the descale correctly without damage the machine?

[@Samenotter]

good video very detailed

[@gmodmarine6967]

i thought that you were gonna descale it not rinse it but yeah this vid is useful

[@michaelbrindell408]

There must have been something wrong with ours. The cold side started at 4th bar as instructed but didn't stop, it ran until the tank was empty, both times I tried it. I then ran the hot rinse cycle and the light turned green. It appears just to be a program that runs a cycle then it says it's descaled, like a reset button.

[@NoOne-es3cf]

Exactly the same thing happened to mine just now and it was the first time when I descaled it!

[@likzam4345]

mine did the same. i was filling my tank to the "MAX" line and it went empty before the 2 minutes. you must fill it as high as you can then it goes for the 2 minutes when it goes empty.

[@moongardens]

Yeah, same here: the water Is never enough to complete the cycle. Thankfully It works even if you have to stop the cleaning and the rinse to refill the container but every time is so stressful 😋

[@stefanfekete8825]

Actually it does not work like that with mine. After it switches off the hot water, Cold water switches off straightawat and it does not run. Then the progress goes down and up and it still flashes green/yellow and progress displays 4th and 5th bar displayed

[@ezrawhite9405]

same

[@alkiva9337]

I cannot find the descaling liquid in my country specifically for Dolce Gusto. Can I use any other descaling liquid?

[@helene4397]

My Dolce Gusto Mini Me has a water tank that is not too easy to remove for cleansing and refilling, any idea how to make it easier?

[@stavroula_m]

2:25 from this step and then i don't understand what we do next ...please help me!!! 2:41 Empty in witch position? The yellow light is still on 😕😓 can't fix it

[@murraywhite4986]

my Dolce Gusto Lumio won't go into Descale mode can you tell me why

[@DannTeBg]

i hate this process so much

[@Jan-wv7rk]

Me too! It really takes longer than we think. Such a hassle.

[@MrMartyj86]

Great! After succesfull cleaning I want to make coffee and the mashine stop working 🤷‍♂️😡

[@HanzoShama]

How to make more complicated..... can’t be

[@andregon4366]

Instructions unclear, got a ship stuck in the Suez canal.

[@nadamohamma]

If i don't have discaling solution, is it o. K. To use vinegar??

[@DJDunsie]

No. The PDF instructions explicitly say not to use vinegar.

[@rmfalco6288]

Video needs to be slower and it does not mention that even after you fill the tank it is not enough water !!!

[@DannTeBg]

You definitely could've added a few more steps...

[@ncf1]

this is more complicated than Year 12 Calculus math.

[@leenb.7936]

What a weird descaling method. Waterflow is a few seconds, then stop, another few seconds of waterflow, stop, another few seconds and so on and on. Hope I wasn’t supposed to time the 2 minutes myself lol. With all those stops I have no idea how long it took for the lever to jump upright again in the stop possition but since they say the waterflow is continues with the next step I guess it all works as it should. Turns out with the next step we do need a timer lol. I just wish we had an off-switch on this machine, always hate that I can’t turn it off myself.

[@xoxoHel]

Leen B. It says that for two minutes the waterflow will start and stop so you dont have to do anything at all. For turning the machine off, you can easily remove it from the charger.

This really needs tons of drinking water...and here you either need to boil it and wait hours to cool or buy fucking expensive mineral water
