Nespresso Vertuo machine - looking to bypass de-Scaling mode

    I have the Nespresso Vertuo next premium.

    Currently not able to make coffee as it looks like I need to de-scale the machine but I don't have any of the kits.

    Is there a way to bypass this mode as seems quite restrictive to fully block me from making coffee until a point where I pay Nespresso more money for one of their de-scaling kits.

    Any ideas?


    Thanks

    Late reply but it should work fine with the descale alert .Watch the video and just run plain water through it and watch all the brown gunk come out

    Note there are one or two serious errors in video eg nothing ENDS by itself ,you have to press button to get it to end or it will use up all the water before stopping .Also its best to keep water above halfway level when carrying out this procedure .It CAN be a VERY temperamental process but if you do it right the half red green light should go back to green .

    Just for the record OP (I know this threads a bit old by now) but you do NOT need a Nespresso descale kit.

    Any decent (although it must be a liquid type solution not powder) descaler will be fine. As I said, make sure it’s a LIQUID solution NOT a powder one!
