Description
The CaffeNu Cleaning Capsule is a Nespresso compatible capsule that is meant to be used with the CaffeNu machine. The cleaning capsule is meant to be inserted into the machine like a coffee capsule and will clean the brewing chamber, spout, nozzle, and washer plate. The cleaning capsule also dissolves residues and odours left behind by coffee and other beverages. The CaffeNu Cleaning Capsule is best used by regular coffee drinkers who drink 30+ cups of coffee a month or by light coffee drinkers who drink 0- 29 cups of coffee a month. For special beverages, such as hot chocolate, tea, or milk, the CaffeNu Cleaning Capsule should be used once a week.
Recommended usage:
- When using the cleaning capsule for the first time - use 2 capsules right after each other
- Regular coffee drinkers (30+ cups a month) - use one capsule per week
- Light coffee drinkers (0- 29 cups a month) - use once capsule every 2 weeks
- Special beverages (you use hot chocolate, tea or milk capsules) - minimum once a week. These new products leave a lot of residue and odours behind in the brewing chamber, particularly the milks and hot chocolates
Preparation
- Ensure that your Nespresso coffee machine is switched on
- Make sure the water tank is filled up to its maximum level
- Make sure the capsule tray is empty and clean
- Place a large container (minimum 500ml) under spout
To clean:
- Insert cleaning capsule as you would a coffee capsule. Press button for small cup (30ml)
- Wait 2 minutes while cleaner breaks down all the residue inside the machine. Then press button for large cup (100 - 200ml) until water is clear
- Open the lever on your machine to eject capsule. Capsule will be hot. Discard solution in container
- Close the lever and press the button for large cup (100 - 200ml) without a capsule inside the machine. Discard solution in container
After use:
- Caution: ejected cleaning capsule will be full of hot water. Empty capsule container and rinse and clean.
- Recommend using one normal coffee capsule and discarding before use
Tips and tricks:
- Dissolved cleaning liquid is great for cleaning cup holders and capsule trays
- Backwash the machine by blocking the spout with either a folded dish towel or rubber plug when pressing the button for large cup (100 - 200ml) Hot water will be exiting the spout
- Use a brush/toothbrush (not provided) and vigorously scrub the washer plate (where the foil of the foil front of the cleaner capsule faces) and the nozzle (where the coffee comes out)
