Nespresso machines have a lot of features and settings. This can lead to confusion, especially if you’re just getting started with your machine. Luckily, resetting your machine only takes a few minutes! Read on to learn How To Reset Nespresso Vertuo Machine.

A factory reset can be useful in a couple scenarios like restoring default settings or if your machine is giving you an error signal. How to reset your Nespresso machine will depend on which model you have (Vertuo or Original). I put together a summary of the steps to follow for every type of machine.

When And Why To Reset Nespresso Machine

Nespresso Vertuo and Original machines come programmed to make pods based on a certain amount of time to get one size. Some users like adjusting these default settings, while others change them only by accident. More advanced models allow you produce customized beverages with options such as temperature and the amount of milk foam (these options will vary depending on model).

A reset may also be helpful if your machine is having an error and is not working, such alert lights staying on after running a descaling or cleaning cycle.
