You saved me from having to buy a new machine. Yours were the simplest instructions that actually worked. Thank you!

[@drcynthiadee7649]

PEREFECTION!!! At my daughter’s for the annual puppy sitting while she goes on vacation . Never had the Nespresso red circle! Your directions were awesome! Thanks so much!!!

[@jaimeadriancanaleszavala1808]

My god... This is better explained than the latest video (1month ago) that nespresso uploaded. Mine, when showing the double color light it wouldn't enter descaling, it would just turn off, but doing it as you did since turning on FINALLY got me to the descaling mode lol! Ty, very helpful

[@ratemygadgets]

Ita the reason I did it as their video didn't work for me either. Glad worked for you. Please do like the video and subscribe as really helps me.

[@baiharke1642]

Omg thank you so much🙏 got so excited seeing the green light at the end😂! Everyone follow step by step and it should work. He explained everything clearly. The last step is important too.

[@StephanieSunde]

Love this video. The Nepresso Virtuo manual does not provide instructions very well, but you do with this video! I can drink my morning coffee again! Thank you

[@ratemygadgets]

Glad it was helpful! Everyone needs coffee .... please do like the video and subscribe as really helps me

[@KatelynJayneaM]

Great video! Nespresso doesn’t have this machine anymore on their website so appreciate you showing the steps!

[@ratemygadgets]

Glad it helped and means you can continue to enjoy your coffee. Please do like the video and subscribe.

You explained everything PERFECTLY! Thank you!

[@loisakehurst9496]

Thanks for helping out today with finding you and you explaining it all perfectly I was able to finally descale my machine Thanks again

[@nunyabusiness1499]

I'd expect this video to have a million views. I'm usually good with written instructions, but in this case, I'd have better luck with a back flip and solving 17 algebra equations. The steps are ridiculous and could have been reduced simply by holding buttons for a longer duration. I understand now. Thanks for the walk through!

[@jellykbean]

Really helpful thank you! I’d recommend popping the used descaling solution into your kettle after use, to give that a spruce up!

[@ratemygadgets]

Great tip! I will do that. Please do like the video and subscribe as it really helps me.

[@sheilagossen6335]

Bless you, this does in deed work. Simple clear instructions that eliminate my fustrations with the red/green descale light. Am keeping a copy for next time needed.

[@seercipher]

Thank youuuuuu for this!! I was trying to enter descaling mode while the machine was on and it would just turn off 😂 thank you for clearing this up for me! 🎉

[@mzmidnite]

This worked perfectly, exactly as described in the video. A million thanks! You made a task I was dreading super easy lol.

[@FutaNoKami]

Instead of the descaler, thats imo a tat expensive. You could use kitchen white vinegar diluted with water 70/30 ratio. ( NOT CLEANING VINEGAR ). I just fill it up, and descale it with that (sometimes letting it sit) works great with kettles etc too. I clean mine about once a week

[@ratemygadgets]

Thanks for that, not a bad idea. I am always reluctant to go away from the branded option BUT as you say, a weekly cheaper option is maybe better. Can't vouch for the vinegar solution but take your word for it. Please do subscribe and like the video as really helps me

[@seaherne]

Are you sure? They say explicitly to not use vinegar...

[@FutaNoKami]

@@seaherne It's the same as them saying "Only use nespresso pods" instead of homebrands etc. Its basically to retain their market shares. People tend to follow manufacturers > tried and true methods. The main acid thats inside these kits is citric acid. which is almost the same PH as vinegar. I dilute the vinegar with a 50/50 or 70/30 if its really gunked. For a test, i once used a kit ( not from nespresso but for a SAGE or Brevile machine) the tablets that are primarily citric are quite a bit more potent since its a more pure solution. I basically cleaned out the boiler to bare copper. Whilst with the vinegar I had to do two flushes to get it to that point. Other then the slight PH difference, the only downside is the smell that you get whilst cleaning. Some people mind it. But 9euros a kit vs a bottle of vinegar for a euro that i can do multiple flushes with. I rince my machines every week or two, so i honestly dont preffer these kits. In the end its basicaly a consideration of price for me.

[@Ellegirle]

Yes, that makes sense. Thank you for the lower priced option to descale.

[@judyobrien2626]

It specifically says not to use vinegar in the system.

[@lorrielykins8526]

THANK YOU!! I was about to toss mine across the kitchen in a fit of frustration/caffeine deprivation. :)

[@ratemygadgets]

Ha ha. Yep, lack of caffeine will do that. Please do like the video and subscribe as really helps me.

[@anna3687]

Same here😂

[@christinequinn4583]

Yes the light remains on for me even after a descale

[@ratemygadgets]

Keep trying. One instance I left it too long and went out after 3rd attempt. Please do like and subscribe as really helps me

[@sheylamartinez2150]

Me funcionó!!! Muchas gracias.

[@ericragan]

Thanks Mate! Perfect, worked like a charm!

[@ryanwdavies1]

I wish Nespresso had easy to follow examples like this

[@cathycole1995]

Thank you sooooo much!! So glad I found you! One guy was gonna take a screw driver to it!

[@ratemygadgets]

Errr....okay. A screwdriver? Well, glad that didn't happen. Please do like the video and subscribe as really helps me.

[@cathycole1995]

I did like and subscribe. But now it made one cup of coffee then back to the red and yellow 😢 I don’t even have scale only use distilled water

[@kaytefernandez1624]

I descaled mine but the red and light button still on :/

[@stephaniesanchezc]

Me too

[@muzicolopez]

[@meganl3859]

I have this but I have just descaled it and I can’t get rid of this blinking red/yellow light…

[@Guitarbarella]

So the cause of issue is that after running a descaling/rinse cycle, be sure to MANUALLY EXIT special mode by pressing button and lever at the same time for three seconds until you see full green circle flashes. After that, let the machine cool down for about 10 minutes before making a coffee.

[@user-py1lh6rl4e]

I clean my but the red light still there

[@ratemygadgets]

Try it a few time. It may be that the limescale is still showing signs so not fully removed. Hope it works. Please do like the video and subscribe as really helps me.

[@sunrise-vx5ld]

Thanks for this video very helpful

[@Llamachick2]

The secret at the end is that you CANNOT leave it alone while it’s working. You need to hold down the button and lever as soon as it’s finished for 3 seconds. That’s what completes the cycle. If you don’t do that it will shut down from unuse and assume it wasn’t completed, meaning you need to start over the rinse cycle. 😅

[@ratemygadgets]

Really. Didn't notice that. Coincidentally, mine has just come up again so will retry this. Please do like the video and subscribe as really helps me

[@mmgoodwings3981]

This is the step I was missing. Thanks.

[@asheternal1250]

This is the fix. Pin this comment

[@Ergotwit]

This worked. Thank you. After two decaling cycles, one cleaning cleaning cycle and an exorcism, the lights are off

[@timmyhexham9603]

Yep! Spot on..

[@druppy12th]

Thanks very helpful your video, I almost throw away my machine, thanks agains

[@middlesbrough123]

Unfortunately mine goes straight to red after amber and doesn’t allow water through

[@zava3013]

I have the same problem.

[@thescotchsonnet5614]

I am in Scotland, where we do not have limescale, and the blasted machine still insists on the descaling. Now on attempt three, and it still won't work

[@chrisandstephanieashley3510]

Thank you

[@sojministries337]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@ratemygadgets]

No worries,glad it helped. Please do like the video and subscribe as it really helps.

[@rb8913]

Do we have to use a de-scaler? It’s going to take days to receive mine, I need coffee tomorrow morning 😂

[@ratemygadgets]

Ha ha....never get in the way of caffeine. Do try with just water ...May help a bit but probably need descale long term. Please do like the video and subscribe as really helps me.

[@deelove6179]

Thank You so much! 😊

[@ratemygadgets]

No problem at all.Glad it helped. If you could please like the video and subscribe

Mil gracias..!!!!😊😊😊

[@aliciagonzalez1144]

Better than Nespresso instructions Thanks!!! :)

[@McCallSears]

How is a liquid we’re not supposed to touch supposed to go through the pipes of our coffee machine?! Can I used anything else?! Yikes 😮

[@Mr_Steve3D]

Just flush it out a few times & tap your top button 3 times fast. It can't be worse than what we shower with😮😅

[@GoldenGlowVR]

What do we do if we don’t have descaling packet

[@ratemygadgets]

Sadly there isn't anything you can do but buy it. Some websites state vinegar BUT I wouldn't risk it. amzn.to/3RuL0uD this is the offical one with over 3000 reviews at 4.6 stars!

[@franskmand1995]

mine keeps on being red and green after restarting it and runnning descalling

[@marlaesposito4644]

Light still on after descaling

[@davespragg4570]

2 hrs later and it still won't come out of descalling mode and now got a solid red ring pulsing!!!!! This machine is destined for the bin in the yard ive had enough and no coffee today. Ive only just purchased £150 ,of capsules too so mega annoyed. A simple job made so complex when a slider switch on the back would suffice. 😢

[@Mr_Steve3D]

Can't I just use distilled white vinegar?

[@desireegrosgebauer6526]

They say not to, but that descaler is poisonous chemicals so I'm not using that!
