Is your Nespresso Inissia brewing slower than it used to? ☕

It's usually down to maintenance, not a fault. Here are the three jobs most Inissia owners skip:
1️⃣ Descaling: limescale builds up inside the machine where you can't see it. Descale every few months, more often in hard-water areas.
2️⃣ The capsule area: coffee oil builds up where your coffee comes out. Wipe it every few days and run a cleaning capsule once a month.
3️⃣ The drip tray and water tank: standing water breeds bacteria. Empty and rinse them daily.

A few small habits make a big difference to how your machine performs. 👌

Spotless on the outside. This is what's hiding on the inside 👀

Swipe through and look closely, because this is what's actually happening inside a coffee machine that only ever gets a rinse:

☕ Coffee grounds pack into the brew group every single cycle
💧 Trapped moisture plus old grounds is exactly how mould starts growing
🛑 Coffee oils go rancid in the brew group, and no amount of rinsing shifts it
⚙️ The grinder chamber builds up around the burrs, throwing off your grind and your dose
🥛 The milk system is the hardest part to clean, protein and fat cling to every line and nozzle
💦 Limescale builds on your water lines and pump, restricting flow and affecting temperature

If your coffee's been tasting bitter, flat, or sour lately, it usually isn't the beans.

The fix isn't complicated. You just need the right products for the right job.
✅ A cleaning tablet built for coffee equipment, to clear the brew group and grinder chamber properly
✅ A descaling solution built for limescale, to keep your water lines and pump clear

Quick question: when did you last clean your coffee machine's brew chamber?

Not descale it. Clean it.

Most of us are pretty good about descaling these days. Machine manufacturers have done a solid job getting that message out. But cleaning tends to get skipped, or people assume a rinse (or a splash of vinegar) is doing the job.

It isn't.

Here's what's actually happening inside your bean to cup machine:

☕ Every shot leaves coffee oils and grounds behind in the brew chamber
💧 Every drop of water leaves mineral deposits behind in your water circuit

These are two completely different problems, in two different parts of the machine, and they need two different solutions.

A rinse moves loose grounds out of the way, but it doesn't touch the oily residue building up shot after shot. Left long enough, that residue can turn rancid, and a warm, damp brew chamber is exactly the kind of place mould can take hold if it isn't properly cleaned.

Vinegar isn't the answer either. It's not formulated to break down coffee oils, in the same way a random household product isn't formulated to dissolve limescale.

The fix for both is simple:
1️⃣ Clean the brew chamber with a purpose-made cleaning tablet
2️⃣ Descale the water lines and pump with a dedicated descaling solution

Your machine needs both, on their own schedules, done properly.

Still Blaming The Beans? ☕

It’s probably not the beans. It’s the limescale, coffee oils and built-up gunk sitting inside your machine, quietly wrecking every cup before it reaches you.

Ever been told that rinsing your coffee machine counts as cleaning it? It doesn't ☕️

Here's why: coffee leaves oil behind, and oil and water don't mix. A rinse just shifts that oil around instead of getting rid of it.

That's where the Caffenu Cleaning Capsule comes in. Pop it in, run it through like a normal capsule, and it lifts out what a rinse leaves behind.

Rinsing keeps things tidy. Cleaning is a different job, and it's the one your machine actually needs 👇

Bitter shot again? ☕😬

It's probably not your grind. Uncleaned coffee oil in the group head turns rancid, and no dial-in fixes that. Descaling won't touch it either, that's a different job entirely.

Clean group head = clean shot. Simple as that. ✨
Look after your machine, it looks after your coffee. 🙌
