I have a geeky tip. I used to turn it off manually after i used it by pressing both button in the same time, fast press. It saves unnecessary heater operation, prolonging its life.
I have so many favorites! Usually I will go for the flavored pods in Iced Lattes (Vanilla, Caramel) or Venezia, Ristretto for unflavored. I have shared a video with my Top 10 pods for latte and the recipes I use: th-cam.com/video/tp3d2XRyRv4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gbku1b7QtvbiXrcG
i see that online advises against distilled water for coffee machines as there is the risk of leeching of metals from the machine into the drink... advise is to use mineral water instead... what say u?
Interesting question. I need to do more research into the effects of distilled water on Nespresso coffee. However, from my experience and based on what I have read so far, the best water for this Nespresso machine is "tap water". Mineral water contains various crystals (calcium, sodium, etc.) that over time can cause your machine to be clogged and stop working. I've also had friends who use tap water and their machine has clogged (beyond repair). I guess it all comes down to which country you're from and on the chemical composition of your tap water or mineral water you can find. For example, in many countries, we cannot drink tap water because it's dirty, and not suitable for cooking or drinking. I am curious to read more on this topic, and will do a video once I have an answer supported by research.
@@AlleCeambur Perhaps its a consideration of the lesser of 2 evils... better to descale the machine over time as routine maintenance, rather than to ingest metals?

Whats the biggest cup size I can fit under without taking off the drip tray?
Hi, I just checked and it’s 9cm (3.54 inches)- without removing the tray.
Can you recommend which capsule is good for latte?

@@AlleCeambur thank you for the reply
Is it normal that the capsule is not laying down straight (completely horizontal) when inserted into the machine?
Yes, it usually sits at an angle. Not necessarily flat

@@go2c can you share articles with studies that distilled water causes heavy metal intoxication in Nespresso machines?
@@AlleCeambur JUST GOOGLE IT, includes Nespresso's own website.

Can i press lungo button for expresso pod? Will i affect extraction?
You can press the lungo with espresso pods, nothing bad will happen. The coffee will be more 3x more diluted.
I hope those scratches on your hand are from a cat! 🙂
Yes, they are 🐈⬛ 🐾 😅
