How to Program a Nespresso Machine
Nespresso machines are incredibly popular, and they are easy to program. However, if you want to get the most out of your machine and make it work for you, then there are certain things that you should remember when programming your Nespresso machine.
1. Always use the right capsule size
The first thing that you need to know is that there are different sizes of capsules available for different types of coffee or tea.
For example, if you want to make a latte macchiato, then you will need a larger capsule than if you want to make a lungo (long) espresso.
It is important that you always use the right sized capsule for the drink that you want to make, as this will ensure that your coffee tastes good and does not overflow from the cup or pot when brewing.
2. Make sure that there is enough water in the reservoir
Another important factor when programming a Nespresso machine is making sure that there is enough water in its reservoir before starting the brewing process.
If there is not enough water in the reservoir, then it may cause problems with your machine later on down the line when trying to brew more drinks since their would not be enough water for them all!
