If you don’t clean your Nespresso Citiz machine, then dirt and coffee buildup will start forming inside the brewer, which not only affects the coffee quantity but also deteriorates coffee quality.
You can clean your Nespresso Citiz machine with vinegar instead of a descaling solution. But you should know that it is not advisable by Nespresso itself. If you don’t have a descaling kit at your hand, then go for vinegar; however, try to use a Nespresso Descaling kit more often instead of vinegar for cleaning your Nespresso machines, as vinegar can harm your machine.
It’s not good to keep the water in the tank for so long because harmful bacteria or fungi can form and would be unhealthy for you.
The primary purpose of the Nespresso machine is to brew coffees such as Espresso and Lungo, but you can also dispense only hot water from the Nespresso Citiz machine. Press any beverage button (Espresso or Lungo) when there is no capsule in the capsule compartment, and hot water will start pouring into the placed mug/cup.
Yes, every Nespresso machine needs descaling two times a year to keep the brewer in good health. When you brew coffee, again and again, coffee grounds and dust start to accumulate inside the brewer. It affects the coffee quality and quantity. So to prevent it, descale your brewer on advisable time. If you want to know how you can descale your Nespresso Citiz machine, then check out our How to Descale Nespresso Citiz guide to understand better.
To clean your Nespresso Citiz machine inside, pass the hot water through the internal pipes by pressing any beverage button (without any capsule in the machine).
If your coffee quality and quantity are not the same as before, you should definitely clean your brewer.
Descaling is necessary for your machine as it wipes out all the harmful buildups that can affect your health and coffee taste. So remember to descale your Nespresso Citiz as it demands twice descaling in a year for good coffee quality and quantity.
If you are using vinegar for cleaning the brewer, then it’s not good. You can use the vinegar only in small amounts when the Nespresso Descaling kit is unavailable. However, you should prevent using it to clean the brewer as it seriously affects its internal parts. Some vinegar also leaves their smells that can affect coffee quality.
To flush water out from the Nespresso Machine, you have to put the machine in emptying mode. To do so, press and hold the Espresso and Lungo button simultaneously. It will turn off the machine. Now lift the lever and remove the water tank. Again press the Espresso and Lungo button for 3 seconds. The LEDs will start blinking alternatively. Your machine will begin flushing out the water. The machine will automatically be blocked for 10 minutes when the procedure is completed.

To activate the machine, press one time on any beverage button. Similarly, for pouring coffee, press a beverage button one time.
There are two buttons on the Nespresso Citiz machine. One is Lungo, and the other is the Espresso button.
