If you have more questions on How To Descale Nespresso CitiZ and Milk with Vinegar, you should thoroughly read the guide below. I expect so, after reading this you will have no more confusion regarding descaling.
Vinegar works as a good, quick and effective descaler. It also eliminates dirt, limescale and mineral build-up but it is not suitable as compared to Nespresso descaler. The descaling solution manufactured by Nespresso contains the amount of chemicals needed to clean the machine. So, you can sometimes use vinegar because using too much can damage your machine.
The ratio of vinegar and water for descaling is 50/50 or 1:1 means the same quantity of water and vinegar.
Yes, if you have vinegar, citric acid, baking soda or lemon at home, you can mix it with water to make your own descaling solution.
White Vinegar is best for descaling Nespresso CitiZ and Milk machine. It is a brilliant and natural solution to clean your machine. White vinegar contains acetic acid that can easily crack calcium deposits formed by hard water particles. White vinegar is not so harmful because it is not strong acetic acid and when it combines with water it becomes more dilute. Never use apple cider (Red Vinegar) or balsamic vinegar. These can leave their effects i.e: color on your machine.
After pouring water and vinegar solution to your machine, let it sit for approximately 20-30 minutes or more, depending on how dirty the machine is. The longer you leave the solution in the machine, the better it will clean your coffee machine and the solution will work well while performing the descaling process. But don’t let it sit for more than 3 hours.
The taste of the coffee will not change until you don’t properly run the rinsing cycle after descaling the machine with vinegar or until there will no longer detect a smell of vinegar in the water. If you don’t consider these two points and make coffee with Nespresso CitiZ and Milk, there will definitely be a chance of a vinegar taste or residue mix-up with your coffee.
After pouring the white vinegar into the water tank, leave it for 20-30 minutes. It will then take about 30 minutes to descale the Nespresso CitiZ and Milk machine.
Nespresso CitiZ and Milk has two buttons at the top: Espresso and Lungo, press them together to activate the machine. After that press and hold the Lungo button until the water tank is empty. Again press the Espresso and Lungo buttons together to exit the descaling mode.
During the descaling of Nespresso CitiZ and Milk machine from vinegar, you can run the cycle 3-4 times. You can run more descaling cycles if needed, depending on the mineral deposits and its hardness that has accumulated in the machine.
Yes, you can use baking soda as a descaler for Nespresso CitiZ and Milk machine.
There are not many disadvantages of using vinegar, but the two that are there, are enough. First Vinegar is not very effective for your machine. Use sparingly, otherwise, it can be harmful to your machine by damaging the pipes inside the machine. Secondly, the smell of vinegar does not go away easily and the aroma of coffee smells like vinegar. Therefore, you have to run more rinsing cycles than usual which is a very laborious and time-consuming task.
You should keep rinsing your Nespresso CitiZ and Milk machine after descaling until clean water starts to flow out of the coffee spout and the machine is not completely free from the harmful effects of chemicals.
