Before we move into the details of this guide on how to use your Nespresso Evoluo, you must know about the parts of your machine. Let’s quickly identify your coffee maker’s parts and make the coffee brewing process easier. It’s time to get started!
A rectangular-shaped water tank is attached on the right side of the machine, and the good thing is it is detachable, so you can easily refill it; however, you won’t need to refill it daily because the tank can hold 54 oz of water.
The front part of the machine contains the Coffee outlet from where the hot coffee flows out.
A large used capsule container is on the machine’s left side, it can hold 17 used capsules.
The cup support is present beneath the coffee outlet, where you place the cup of your choice. It is adjustable, so you can change its position to place a cup of coffee for which you are in the mood.
The ON/OFF or coffee button is present on the head of the machine. This single button performs all the machine functions, including brewing a coffee, cleaning, and descaling.
The lever is on the head around the ON/OFF button of the machine. It is to lock the machine before you start the brewing process; move the lever to the left to lock your machine, and to unlock it move the lever to the right.
It is your first meeting with Nespresso Evoluo, and you need the correct procedure to operate it. No! You are using it again after a long time. Don’t worry. Here you will get a complete guide on operating Nespresso Evoluo correctly. Look over the procedure below and follow each step carefully to avoid a blunder.
When you start using your Nespresso Evoluo, you need to fill the water tank, but before that, you must rinse it with fresh potable water to ensure it is properly clean and free from dust.
Since your safety is always my first concern, before using the Nespresso Evoluo, make sure to place your cup, the cup support, and the capsule container in the correct position, and only operate it once you place them correctly.
Plug your Nespresso Evoluo into the socket.
Turn on your machine by pressing the button present on top of it. The machine heats up in roughly 15 seconds, and the button will start blinking. Don’t you think it’s crazy? That this machine heats up so fast.
As the light stops blinking and becomes steady, what does the steady light tell you? Your Nespresso Evoluo is heated up and all set to brew your coffee.
Set a container of at least 12.5oz / 0.4L under the coffee outlet.
Lock your Nespresso Evoluo by moving the lever to the left, where the lock symbol is present because the machine will not start working if it is not locked correctly.
To start cleaning, press the button three times. Let the cleaning process complete itself. In less than two minutes, the water begins to flow, and the whole process takes three cycles of pumping water to clean the machine from the inside and water to flow out of the outlet.
The whole process of cleaning the Nespresso Evoluo takes you 5 minutes, and you can stop the process anytime by pressing the button present on the head. When you press the button, the light will stop blinking; otherwise, you can continue cleaning. If you want to brew a coffee, insert the capsule properly, turn the lever to the left, lock the machine, and press the button to start brewing.
That’s how you can operate and clean your Nespresso Evoluo for the first time or after a long time of inactivity.
Coffee lovers don’t look for any reason to brew coffee, especially when they have Nespresso Evoluo, where you need to press only one button to get a delicious coffee cup. Then, what are you waiting for? Wait, before you start brewing coffee, I want you to keep a few things in mind to keep yourself safe from any accident.
Well, enough talking, Let’s move forward and start brewing a cup of delightful coffee with your Nespresso Evoluo.
Let’s fill the water tank, but before that, rinse it properly with fresh water.
To turn ON the machine, click on the Nespresso Evoluo’s single button located on top of the machine. The users find it easy to operate because, with this single button, you can switch on the machine, brew your coffee, and do cleaning and descaling.
Within 15 seconds, the machine heats up; until then, the button will blink, indicating that the heating is in process.
As the machine heats up, the light will stop flashing and become steady. Here you go! Your Nespresso Evoluo is ready to brew your coffee!
Nespresso Evoluo has a variety of cup sizes so that you can brew coffee in different quantities at once. What are the different cup options you have? Following are the cup sizes which you can choose according to your need:
Put your cup under the coffee outlet, but the cup should be of sufficient capacity.
NOTE: Your coffee may overflow, so there is a risk of burning, be careful.
Suppose you want to drink an espresso, but your friend wants a regular coffee. In that case, you can adjust the cup support according to your need, as the Nespresso Evoluo offers adjustable cup support. To change the cup size, remove the cup support; you can easily take it out to adjust the position and change it to four different positions to place the cup of your choice.
Open the head of your machine by moving it upward. Just a few more steps to go,
as a delicious coffee is a short distance away from you.
Nespresso Evoluo works with the Nespresso Vertuoline capsule only; you cannot use the Nespresso Original line capsules in this machine.
Insert the Nespresso Vertuoline capsule in the machine with the dome shaped side of the capsule facing down. Be careful; you might hurt your fingers from sharp points while putting the capsule inside.
NOTE: Always use a new capsule and make sure to remove the used capsule before inserting a fresh piece, to protect the machine from any damage.
Close the head of your machine by moving it down, then pull the lever to the left. Your machine is locked now.
The time has come to brew your coffee. Press the button, and wait for a while as it takes some time before the coffee flow comes out.
NOTE: The machine can automatically detect the inserted capsule and choose the coffee preparation settings and cup size recommended by Nespresso coffee experts to extract the coffee blend to its fullest.
If you want to stop the flow early, press the button again; it will stop as soon as you do.
To fill your cup to the top, press the button present on the head of your machine and wait till the coffee reaches the desired volume, then press it again to stop the flow.
To remove the capsule, unlock the machine by moving the lever to the right; as you open the head, the capsule will automatically come out.
There you go! Your coffee is ready now. Let’s take the first sip and enjoy it.
Who doesn’t want to reduce their electricity bills while using electronic appliances? It is good to hear that Nespresso Evoluo keeps you safe from high electricity bills with its Auto energy-saving mode. So, you keep on enjoying your coffee without stressing about your accounts.
Now, if you want to turn off your machine, you can do it with a single step below.
You don’t have to do anything for energy-saving mode; it will enter “sleep mode” on its own.
In this way, the energy-saving mode of Nespresso Evoluo works.
One thing that makes people happy is the attraction of effortlessly getting their desired dose of coffee every time by just dropping a pod in and pressing a single button. Don’t you feel good if you get your desired quantity without changing the setting every time? You can do it by programming your Nespresso Evoluo just once.
Nespresso Evoluo has a range of cup sizes from 0.3 oz/10ml to 17 oz / 500ml, and each capsule size, either coffee or espresso, has its specific programming.
Choose the capsule for which you want to program your machine, open the head of your machine to insert the capsule, then close the head and lock the machine by moving the lever to the left.
Press the button, wondering which button? The button on the head of your machine, hold it till the coffee reaches the desired volume.
The water volume level has been stored, and your machine is programmed now for the specific capsule size you have used.
Note: Once you program your machine to a particular volume for a capsule size, the next time you insert that capsule, the machine will stop the coffee preparation after reaching your programmed volume.
If you are not enjoying the previously programmed volume, then there is a way to get back to the default settings if you want to; let me guide you on how to get the default setting again on your Nespresso Evoluo.
Open the head of your machine, and let the used capsule be ejected.
Close the head of your machine and don’t move the lever to the left, leaving the machine unlocked.
Press the button five times in three seconds, and the button will blink five times, indicating that your machine is successfully reset.
If you are sending your Nespresso Evoluo for maintenance or are going on a vacation and won’t use it for a while, make sure to clean out your machine. Don’t worry. It’s easy to do so by following the steps below:
Drain out the water from the tank and put it back in its position.
Place your container under the coffee outlet.
Disconnect the power supply by removing the cable from the socket.
Open the head of your machine by moving it upward and allow the used capsule ejection in the capsule container.
To lock your machine, move the head downward to close it and move the lever to the left.
Press the button and hold it; meanwhile, connect the main cable to the socket, and after that, release the button.
Note: You should take proper precautions when connecting the cable to the socket while the button is pressed, as the machine will eject the remaining liquid using heat, and the machine may release some steam.
As the machine gets empty, it will turn off automatically.
That’s how you can empty your Nespresso Evoluo before storing it or sending it for a repair.
Are you leaving your Nespresso Evoluo uncleaned at the end of your day? And the next day, you are brewing coffee with a dirty machine? Well, I call it dirty because leaving the coffee residue with moisture is like saying welcome to unwanted enemies (microbes). Man! You are putting your health at risk by not cleaning your machine. I hope you got my point and will not leave your machine unclean next time.
Let’s start cleaning!
NOTE: The cleaning process will take only 5 minutes.
As you are going to clean your machine from the inside, the first thing you need is water in your water tank, but before filling the water tank, rinse it with fresh water and put it back in its place.
Now, place a container of 13.5 oz / 0.4 l under the coffee outlet.
Make sure to remove any used capsules before your start cleaning. For this purpose, open the head of your Nespresso Evoluo to allow the capsule ejection.
After removing the capsule, close the head and slide the lever to the left to lock the machine.
Have you locked your machine correctly? Do a safety recheck before you proceed further with the cleaning process of your machine.
To start cleaning, press the button on your machine’s head three times in two seconds. As the cleaning starts, the button will start flashing, and water will start flowing out of the coffee outlet within two minutes. The entire process of cleaning the Nespresso Evoluo takes 5 minutes only, and the cleaning procedure requires three cycles of pumping water to clean the machine from the inside and water to flow out of the outlet.
NOTE:
The cleaning steps are finished here. Note that you can stop the cleaning process anytime by pressing the button. The button light will stop blinking, or you can continue the cleaning by pressing the button again. Now, if you want to brew a coffee, insert the capsule properly by opening the head of your machine, turning the lever to the left and locking the machine, hit the button to start brewing.
That is how you can do the cleaning of your Nespresso Evoluo.
If you are a coffee addict and use your machine frequently, you must keep it well maintained and in good condition by descaling it. If you avoid descaling your Nespresso Evoluo when it gives you a descaling alert, it will affect the performance of your machine and alter the taste of your coffee as well.
For best results, descale your machine to remove the calcium deposits, enhance the quality of your coffee, and improve the shelf life of your Nespresso Evoluo. Let’s see how you can descale your Nespresso Evoluo.
NOTE: The descaling process will take 20 minutes to complete.
CAUTION:
Push the button to turn ON the machine, and the button will start blinking, indicating the machine is heating up. As the light stops blinking, it confirms the heating is completed, and your machine is ready.
As the machine is ON, you have to remove the used capsule from the capsule holder to proceed with the descaling process. For that, open the head of your machine to allow the ejection of the used capsule in the used capsule container.
Close the head of your machine but don’t move the lever in any direction, leaving it in an unlocked position.
Discard the used capsules from the used capsule container and empty the cup support.
You need to add the descaling agent to the water tank to descale your machine. Add 1 unit of descaling agent in the water tank. Afterwards, add 17 oz / 0.5 l of water to the water tank.
To activate the descaling mode, press the button present on the head of your machine and hold it for 7 seconds.
The button will start blinking quickly and flash for 45 seconds, indicating your machine is getting ready to descale.
If you want to continue with the descaling mode, place a container under the coffee outlet and press the button within 45 seconds; otherwise, the machine will return to the brewing coffee mode, and you will have to enter the descaling mode again.
If you have not followed the previous step, your machine has exited the descaling mode. Now, you have to re-enter the descaling mode. For that, you have to lock your machine and unlock it again. Then, press the button and hold it for seven seconds, and the descaling mode will get ON.
Let’s continue with the descaling mode by placing your container of at least 20 oz /0.6 l volume beneath the coffee outlet.
Now, start descaling by pressing the button, but before that, lock the machine by sliding the lever to the left. When the descaling is complete, your machine will stop automatically.
Clear out the water tank by discarding the remaining water then rinse it with fresh water. Also, rinse the cup support.
Ahh, you need water again! Descaling is all about rinsing, discarding, and refilling. Use fresh water to fill the water tank and place it back on the machine.
Are you ready to move forward? Just a few more steps to go to exit the descaling mode.
As you have filled the water tank, now press the button to start rinsing. When rinsing is completed, your machine will turn off on its own.
You have completed the final rinsing, Good job! Now you can exit the descaling mode by pressing the button and holding it for seven seconds. The button will start blinking while leaving the descaling mode.
Once the descaling process comes to an end, the light will stop blinking and become steady.
You have successfully completed the descaling of your Nespresso Evoluo. Hurray!
Leave your machine for 10 minutes to dry out from the inside before the next use.
Your Nespresso Evoluo is all set to brew your coffee again.
If you notice the light on the machine has blinked three times and become steady, it indicates that your Nespresso Evoluo is giving you a descaling alert. Once you get a descaling alert, you can make only a few cups out of your machine, and then you must proceed with the descaling process.
Note: If the descaling process has been completed, your machine will stop and start blinking. In that case, pause the procedure, let the descaling agent read the scale buildup, and press the button again to resume the descaling process.
Do you want to know what the blinking button is trying to inform you? Do you need to refill your water tank, or is it a descaling signal? Wait! Don’t press the button without understanding why the button is blinking. Here I will explain the interpretation behind each blink of a button.

Let’s wrap up by sipping some nice freshly brewed coffee with my buddy Nespresso Evoluo. I hope you enjoyed your visit here.
When you insert the capsule and press the button, you have to wait for a while before the coffee starts to flow out of the system because it takes some time as the machine detects and reads the code on the capsule. Always recheck your machine before you press the button that you have inserted the capsule correctly, the used capsule has been removed, the lever is on the left side, and the machine is locked.
Nespresso Evoluo consists of an automatic system for removing the capsule, you just have to move the lever to the right side and open the machine head, and the capsule will automatically eject into the used capsule container.
Unfortunately, you cannot use the original Nespresso pods in your Nespresso Evoluo because it is a Vertuoline machine that can only work with the Vertuo capsules, and original Nespresso pods will only fit in the original line machines.
First, remove the used capsule by opening the head of your machine, closing the head but leaving it in the unlock position, then push the button five times in three seconds; the button will start blinking five times, indicating that your machine is successfully reset.
To prepare Latte with Nespresso Evoluo, you need a separate milk frother as Nespresso Evoluo does not have a built-in frother. Still, it will give you double shots of espresso, and you have to add frothed milk in it with a separate frothing machine.
