Just got a Nespresso machine? Congratulations! You're moments away from experiencing delicious, barista-style coffee at home. This guide will get you brewing in minutes.
**Step 1: Fill 'er Up!** Start by filling the water tank with fresh, filtered water. Proper hydration is key to a good cup.
**Step 2: Power On & Preheat.** Turn on your machine. It usually takes about 25-30 seconds to preheat. The lights will stop blinking when it's ready.
**Step 3: Pop in a Pod!** Lift the lever and insert your favorite Nespresso capsule into the pod chamber. Close the lever firmly.
**Step 4: Choose Your Brew.** Select your desired coffee size – usually Espresso (small cup) or Lungo (large cup). Press the corresponding button.
**Step 5: Enjoy!** Watch the magic happen as your Nespresso machine brews your perfect cup. Once finished, the machine will automatically stop. Discard the used capsule.
**Bonus Tip:** For optimal performance, descale your Nespresso machine every few months. Happy brewing!
