Are you struggling with issues like some kind of blinking issues, flow issues, the coffee button not working, the machine not pumping water, and many other problems like this? Don’t worry! Because you can fix them yourself by just following my guidelines. I have also faced many problems during my experience with Nespresso Vertuo Next, and luckily, I got their solutions. Therefore I am explaining all of them to you, just for your help.
It is better to have a tasty cup of coffee in a safe and sound condition; therefore, you must read the Nespresso Vretuo Next safety precautions.
Why are you so worried about the issue even though I can tell you the solution? So let’s make a deal, read my article and you will be provided with the answers to all of your questions.
Sometimes the coffee button gets stuck, and it becomes challenging to brew a cup of coffee.
The cause behind this stuck coffee button is the dust particles that get into the space around the coffee button and cause it to be stuck in its position.
Just follow the steps, and you will get your coffee button repaired in a few minutes.
Note: The button is very sensitive, so don’t push it with too much force that it either gets stuck permanently or breaks.
After descaling, If you guys want to set up your Nespresso Vertuo Next so that you can brew a cup ( free of any kind of chemical). No problem! Here, I will provide you with a brief explanation of the process that can help you reset your Nespresso Vertuo Next and prepare a cup of coffee in no time.
The problem is that people need to know the most accurate steps to brew a cup after descaling, and surprisingly, only a few people need to be made aware of them. Therefore, to help them, I’m describing the steps below;
Follow these simple steps.
For brewing, you should place a cup under the outlet and a capsule in the machine. Press the coffee button to start the process.
In case of any problem, you should contact Nespresso customer service for further assistance.
If my readers are facing flow issues with the Nespresso Vertuo Next, I can’t stay back to help them.
Flow on your Nespresso Vertuo Next refers to the amount of water dispensed through the capsule to make a coffee drink or espresso.
The Nespresso Vertuo Next does not allow the flow of coffee (out of the spout). The machine seems to be working, but no coffee comes out of the spout, and the cup remains empty.
The leading cause is related to putting a stop to the flow of water, and there could be many reasons or causes for this interruption.
The first reason is the low level of water in the water tank.
Fill the water tank with sufficient water so the problem can be resolved.
The second reason is the improperly placed capsule, for which the Nespresso Vertuo Next cannot work effectively and refuse to fill your cup with coffee.
Open up the Nespresso Vertuo Next and take out the capsule. Accurately place the capsule in its place so that the needle in the head of the machine can easily and very precisely puncture the capsule.
Machine blockage also contributes to this problem.
The machine may have a blockage that needs to be removed. Therefore the Nespresso Vertuo Next needs to be appropriately descaled to remove the blockage.
But if the problem persists, there is another way to resolve this, which is given below.
Waiting for the Nespresso Vertuo Next to fill the cup with coffee but seeing no coffee out of it is an irritating thing for the coffee lover.
The Nespresso Vertuo Next can’t pump the water, and the machine keeps sounding like it is working but without any output.
It is mainly because of air bubbles that develop between the water tank and the pump. These bubbles stop water flow from the water tank into the pump, and you see no water or coffee coming out of the spout.
If your Nespresso Vertuo Next is also not pumping water, follow this easy and unique process to fix the problem.

The cleaning cycle is elementary and works, but if you need help, read the following passage.
The Nespresso Vertuo Next can’t carry out the cleaning cycle in the way it should.
It could be because of the reason that you need to include a step, and the machine is thus not showing the expected results.
Therefore analyze the process given below, and ensure that you are performing the cleaning process properly.
The cleaning process is automatic and will be completed in approximately 7 minutes.
I have never experienced a cold coffee or even heard of it. This is really a new thing to me. The coffee appears at its best only when it is hot enough to make the next person enthralled after having a sip of it.
I can feel it when you are expecting a delicious hot cup of coffee out of the Nespresso Vertuo Next, but then a cold drink appears in front of you. There are different ways to let your Nespresso Vertuo Next, make a hot cup of coffee for you. These are explained below;
Sometimes, the pressure inside the machine is decreased, and the device does not heat up properly.
Maintain the pressure by following these steps.
However, this video is not exactly for the Nespresso Vertuo Next, but the fact can be applied to it.
If mineral deposits are developed in your Nespresso Vertuo Next, it cannot work accordingly until you descale it. And If you have not yet descale your Nespresso Vertuo Next, you are responsible for this cold coffee.
You might need to descale the machine if it is on but not heating up, and the process is given below;
To exit the descaling mode, you must press the coffee button for at least 7 seconds.
Note: Descaling solution can be harmful, so avoid contact with the eyes, skin, or any other body surface.
Waking up in the morning and seeing the Nespresso Vertuo Next leaking is irritating. But it’s not a big deal because we got the solutions.
While brewing a cup, the Nespresso Vertuo Next leaks and the coffee or water splits on the ground. More often, the leakage occurs from two sites in the Nespresso Vertuo Next which are;
There are many causes for this leakage, which include the following;
The water tank is defective.
Replace the water with a new one. Make sure the water tank is properly positioned and tightened.
Accumulation of the debris or coffee grounds in the nozzle. The capsule holder is gunked up.
Perform a cleaning cycle and clean the nozzle and capsule holder with cotton and water properly for the removal of clogs. Moreover, ensure the regular clearing of capsule containers and used capsule bins.
Damaged component or seal in the thermoblock (heating element) or internal pipework.
It is better to call the Nespresso service and ask for help.
If this leakage is because of some broken part, you should replace it instead of attempting to fix the broken Nespresso component. A new authentic part will function better and last longer than an old patched-up one. Clean the water tank, lid, and sealing ring to remove any coffee ground or debris (this debris can also cause this leakage).
You can also watch the given video, as it contains a different process to resolve it, and you should try it (in case of any problem).
If resetting your Nespresso Vertuo Next to the factory setting does not give you the expected results, surely you missed a step in the process.
The problem occurs when you have programmed a specific volume for a capsule, but then you want to change it and reset your Nespresso Vertuo Next. The Nespresso Vertuo Next does not reset to the factory setting, and you could not reprogramme the volume for that capsule.
You need to add a step (that you were missing). Because without this step, the resetting of your machine to the factory setting cannot be completed. For this, you should read out the solution to be aware of all the steps.
You should thoroughly read the process and try it. It is better to watch the relevant video from the given link and then read the passage below as a guideline.
For your convenience, I have written a short and comprehensive process.
1. Push down the machine’s head to close it.
2. Retain the handle in the “UNLOCKED” state.
3. Press the button five times within a period of three seconds.
4. The button will softly blink five times to indicate that the reset has been successful.
Really! Does it happen to your Nespresso Vertuo Next? Don’t worry because I will let you know about the reason and its solution.
While using the Nespresso Vertuo Next, it turns to “Off” mode. The Nespresso Vertuo Next turns off due to two reasons.
Your Nespresso Vertuo Next has an auto-off feature; therefore, It turns off automatically after 2 minutes of the last brew, only for energy savings.
If you want to turn your Nespresso Vertuo Next on, simply press the coffee button.
It happens when the machine is to descale. As if the machine needs descaling or resetting to the factory setting, it stops working and turns to off mode.
Descale the coffee maker or do reset it to the factory setting.
Thus these are the two factors for this problem. Furthermore, if you have coffee grounds in your cup of coffee, see the next point.
Coffee grounds interruption while enjoying the coffee kicks you out of the dreamy world of coffee. In order to continue that dream, read down.
Every newly brewed cup of coffee from the Nespresso Vertuo Next contains coffee grounds, and the main problem is that you are worried about this.
This is because of some coffee grounds that are left behind in the coffee maker after every brew. These coffee grounds are either present in the capsule basket or get stuck in nearby areas. Hence, you will find coffee grounds whenever you brew your next cup of coffee.
You can get a cup of coffee free of any coffee grounds only by adequately cleaning your Nespresso Vertuo Next.
In this way, your machine will be cleaned, and you will have tasty ground-free coffee. You should perform the cleaning cycle twice if required.
However, this video is not exactly about removing coffee grounds. It is actually about the leakage from the machine and how to solve it, yet you can have a proper guideline to clean the Nespresso machine from this video.
Nothing can be perfect, and there can be some defects, even in the most famous thing. In the same way, this can also be considered a defect of the Nespresso Vertuo Next, but to the most extent, it is not even a defect. This will be clear to you after reading what is written below.
After brewing, when you look at the capsule container, you will find a little amount of water in it.
A little amount of water is redirected to the capsule container during the brewing process. Therefore you find the water in the capsule container after being emptied.
The Nespresso App has released a remote software update that avoids this backflow. If you want to do it, then connect your Nespresso Vertuo Next to the Nespresso app. Follow the steps mentioned in the app. Once connected, settings will be updated within 48 hours.
The brewing process occurs in such a way that water flows through the capsule, and some of the water can even reside in the capsule even at the end of the process. When this capsule is released in the capsule container, that water goes along with it. Thus, the container contains water.
In my view, it is not a big deal, and I will not even consider it. But if it is a problem for you and you want to get rid of it, then don’t let the capsule be ejected into the capsule container; rather, quickly remove it so that the water inside it doesn’t get into the container. However, you can just let it go and focus on enjoying the coffee.
If the fuse of your Nespresso Vertuo Next is not working you should contact the Nespresso service to replace it or help you repair it in the other way (if possible).
Fuse is the main thing that lets your Nespresso Vertuo Next work and prepares a cup, but if it deteriorates due to any reason, you can’t brew. It will be a very sad spectacle. To save yourself from this horrifying consequence of not having coffee, try the following solution.
The fuse may be burned due to some electricity problems.
Contact the Nespresso service for assistance in the best way because they can only help you solve the problem most accurately. But if you are a technician, you can also repair it by watching some related videos or following the guidance from the Nespresso service on call.
The blinking light on the coffee button indicates different issues. To use your Nespresso Vertuo Next in the best way, you should evaluate them. Some common blinking styles and their indications are given below;
Note: Depending on the problem and the kind of coffee maker, the blinking light’s accurate meaning may change. But here, we will discuss the meaning of blinking styles only for the Nespresso Vertuo Next.
Your Nespresso Vertuo Next has a power problem if the coffee button is not illuminated.
When you plug the Nespresso Vertuo Next into an outlet, you see no light on the coffee button even after pressing the coffee button.
This happens because your Nespresso Vertuo Next is not getting enough electricity from the outlet and there could be many reasons for this like a damaged power cord or outlet etc.
Here are some steps to try to resolve the issue:
If the problem is not resolved even after trying the above troubleshooting, then contact Nespresso customer service.
But if it works and after the heating process it becomes steady, then read the given point to be aware of the situation.
If the coffee button shows a steady light after the heating process(which is indicated by the blinking of the coffee button), it means the machine is ready to brew a cup. So when you press the coffee button, and the machine is working properly, it’s ok. But if your Nespresso Vertuo Next is not working and still showing a steady white light, then there is definitely a problem.
The Nespresso Vertuo Next does not work, and the coffee button keeps showing a steady white light.
When the coffee maker is not set up correctly, it does not work and informs you of that cause through the illuminated coffee button.
Try the following measures to let your machine work properly.
The coffee button shows a blinking white light in two cases,
Other than heating up or brewing a cup, the coffee button keeps blinking white light, and your Nespresso Vertuo Next is not working and keeps pouring out only water instead of coffee.
The Nespresso Vertuo Next needs descaling or proper cleaning.
Watch the tutorial video to be more aware of the descaling and cleaning process.
The Nespresso Vertuo Next has entered the descaling mode for which the Nespresso Vertuo Next is not able to brew a cup.
The solution is very simple. Exit the descaling mode by pressing the coffee button for at least 7 seconds.
Are you worried about this quickly blinking orange light? It’s good for you. Because you have already forgotten to clean the Nespresso Vertuo Next, and this time the machine is informing you to do so.
Only water is coming out of the Nespresso Vertuo Next, and the coffee button keeps blinking orange light very quickly.
The Nespresso Vertuo Next needs cleaning.
When I faced this issue, I got the solution from the Nespresso Vertuo Next manual guide, but for your convenience, I have also pasted the link to the tutorial video for cleaning the Nespresso Vertuo Next.
But if you want to see the process in written form, then see the next point.
You can easily differentiate between the three times blinking per second and the two times blinking per second. So don’t start to note the time with a watch.
The scenario is quite similar to the previous one( only water is coming out of the Nespresso Vertuo Next instead of coffee), but this time, the light blinks rapidly (three times per second) as if your Nespresso Vertuo Next is having a heart attack.
This blinking shows that your Nespresso Vertuo Next needs to be descaled due to the deposition of some calcareous materials, which are harmful to your health.
Descale the Nespresso Vertuo Next and below is the procedure for descaling;
How Can I Exit My Nespresso Vertuo Next From The Descaling Mode?
You can simply exit the descaling mode by pressing the coffee button for at least 7 seconds.
If you prepare the coffee by yourself, you can understand the cause very well because you are well aware of the problem.
When you turn on the machine and press the coffee button to brew, you expect the coffee will start coming out of the spout immediately, but it does not happen, and the coffee button starts pulsing up white light.
The Nespresso Vertuo Next is heating up, and this pulsing light is its indication.
Wait for the heating process to be completed. After reaching the ideal brewing temperature, the light will stop pulsing up automatically, and turn into a continuous white light, signaling that it is ready to brew.
This is an alarm that notifies you about the overheating of the Nespresso Vertuo Next.
While using the Nespresso Vertuo Next, the coffee button shows the orange light pulsing down, and the Nespresso Vertuo Next does not work.
The Nespresso Vertuo Next is overheated.
Here are some steps to troubleshoot the problem
If you can’t resolve the problem, then for sure, your machine has entered the descaling mode.
It would be best to exit the descaling mode by pressing the coffee button for 7 seconds and letting your Nespresso Vertuo Next work properly.
This blinking style shows an error. There are many reasons for this error; some common causes are given in this article.
The problem appears when the orange light blinks rapidly on the coffee button of the Nespresso Vertuo Next and your mind is blank about the situation, but no longer after reading this article.
The water tank needs to be filled.
Fill the water tank sufficiently so that the Nespresso Vertuo Next starts working.
The machine is not locked perfectly.
Lock the machine accurately by pushing down the head and moving the handle toward the locked position.
The capsule is not appropriately positioned in the capsule holder.
Open the head of the Nespresso Vertuo Next and replace the capsule. It does not mean replacing it with the new one but placing the same capsule in its place again but in the right way. Close the head, and now restart the process.
There could be mineral buildup in the machine, which needs to be descaled.
Descale the Nespresso Vertuo Next, and the process is mentioned in point #5( in the blinking styles portion).
The apparatus may be overheated.
Turn off the machine by pressing the coffee button for at least 3 seconds, then turn it on by pressing the coffee button again. Now let the Nespresso Vertuo Next cool down for 20 minutes. Or you can simply plug out the Nespresso Vertuo Next and allow it to be cooled.
The device needs to be cleaned.
Perform the cleaning cycle as per the guidance in the video.
If, after evaluating and performing all these factors, the blinking continues, then follow the troubleshooting steps below;
This case especially indicates the machine’s unfilled water tank and improperly locked head.
The Nespresso Vertuo Next stops working, and the coffee button starts blinking.
The water tank lacks water or sufficient water. This causes the Nespresso Vertuo Next to stop working and request (through this blinking coffee button) the user to fill the water tank.
Thus, you can solve the problem by;
By blinking 5 times in 10 seconds, your Nespresso Vertuo Next demands you to reset it to the factory setting.
The coffee button shows the orange light that blinks 5 times in 10 seconds, and the Nespresso Vertuo Next stops working.
The Nespresso Vertuo Next should be reset to the factory setting for which the light blinks, and request you about it.
To reset your coffee maker, you can either watch the relevant video or read the process from the above heading “Why Is My Nespresso Vertuo Next Not Resetting To Factory Setting?” (Refer to point #8).
This is also a descaling alarm, but at this point, you don’t have to descale the machine urgently. You can use the Nespresso Vertuo Next until the descaling becomes necessary and the machine gives another alarm.
I have explained various solutions regarding this blinking style, and this one is an addition to them.
The coffee button continues to blink, and you try to resolve the by pressing the button, but the problem persists.
The Nespresso Vertuo Next app provides you with the new updated software, but if you have not updated any software, then this blinking style recommends you update the software.
Update the software from the Nespresso App. Hopefully, this will resolve the problem, but in case the problem is not solved, check the water level in the water tank, ensure the machine is locked, and make sure the capsule is placed correctly.
Just after turning on your Nespresso Vertuo Next, If the coffee button is not showing light, make sure to plug in your Nespresso Vertuo Next first. The same thing happened to me. Then after a while, I found that I didn’t plug the machine into the outlet—an absurd thing for me.
For a detailed review, you can see point #1.
Everybody expects to have a good performance from the Nespresso Vertuo Next, but this not working of the machine and blinking irritates every user. To be honest, this blinking is for your help. So you do not have to be frustrated about it.
The easy ways to resolve the problem are given below, but you should also be familiar with the cause. Therefore the solutions, along with the reasons, are provided here.
The main reasons for this blinking are insufficient water in the water tank and an improperly locked handle.
So fill the water tank and lock the handle; ultimately light will stop blinking.
Your Nespresso Vertuo Next needs descaling.
Descale your Nespresso Vertuo Next (the descaling process is available in point#6,”Why Is My Vertuo Next Making Coffee That Is Not Hot Enough”).
However, don’t be confused about which kind of blinking exactly indicates the need to descale the Nespresso Vertuo Next because you know your machine better than the machine itself. So if you have been using the coffee maker for a long time without descaling it, then this blinking could be a sign of it.
When you press the coffee button, the light blinks on the coffee button. If coffee comes out of the machine, it is ok. But if only water comes out of it, it’s an alarm from the Nespresso Vertuo Next for many reasons.
Calm down! Don’t worry if the Nespresso Vertuo next is not properly working and the coffee button is blinking. Here are the solutions.
The machine needs to be either descaled, cleaned, or emptied.

If you are also using the Nespresso App and have recently paired your Nespresso Vertuo Next, this will happen to you, as the Nespresso Vertuo Next is going through some software updation.
Restart the Nespresso Vertuo Next machine by plugging out the power cord from the outlet and then plugging it back. Wait for 3 minutes until the light becomes steady.
If problems persist, call Nespresso service.
The brew unit is blocked. I am talking about the round part of the Nespresso Vertuo Next which is present on the inside of the head of the machine. When you open the head, you can easily find this round part by just looking a bit at the inside of the head of the machine.
