I have a Le Cube nespresso coffee machine and it occasionally gets blocked so much so that they water doesnt come out. Does anybody know the best way to clean these machines as i cant seem to find anything about it on the internet.
Thanks

If you look your brand up on line and ask that question they will tell you how to clean it I always look it up on line and they will also answer any questions about repair or why it is not working good luck
Run bleach through it and rinse well, by running several cycles of fresh water, before using. You may have to do it a few times if it has that much build up…In the future run either vinegar or bleach through it about once a month, depending on use.
Don’t use bleach in anything like a coffee maker or you will be rinsing and rinsing for weeks to get the smell and taste out. Do you want bleach in your morning coffee?
It sounds like you need to fill the coffee maker with water and white vinegar. If the machine is really blocked up; mix it 50/50. Pour the mixture in, start the cycle, let it get about 1/2 way through and shut it off. This allows the solution to sit in the machine and work a bit. 1/2 an hour is fine, more won’t hurt if you get busy doing something else. Then turn the machine back on and let it finish the cycle.
Then run a couple of pots of just plain water through immediately after. This will help finish flushing out the stuff the white vinegar loosened and will remove the lingering white vinegar. Warning! Your kitchen will smell like a pickle factory for a bit because of the hot vinegar but this passes quickly.
Try to do this at least once a month to keep your coffee pot running at it’s best. And that hot white vinegar & water mixture is great for pouring down a slow drain or to pour into the bottom of your dishwasher to clean out that gunk that builds up in there.
