If you are a Nespresso Coffee machine holder or about to be one, the question is prominent enough to take up your thoughts like how long do Nespresso machines last?
Well, I will not give you false information and will only tell you my experience with the longevity of Nespresso machines. I own a few Nespresso machine models, including Citiz, which has been with me for approx. 9 years, and Vertuo for 7 years, and both are still working great for me.
Nespresso machines, including the Citiz model, are hardy ones and can surely last up to many years, as I can justify from my experience. But throughout this whole time, how I managed to keep them healthy should also be considered, so I will help you by letting you know each aspect and measures you should take to enhance your brewer life up to years.

How You Can Keep Your Nespresso Citiz Last Long
Nespresso Citiz’s outer covering is made of plastic and stainless steel, which automatically strengthens its structure. But still, you should avoid placing your machine on unsmooth surfaces and prevent it from falling. Now it’s time to look after the internal structure or core of the machine that provides you with delicious coffee.
Follow Safety Precautions
Safety concerns are my priority, and I will not let myself directly start with the process without guiding you to follow safety measures. I understand that most people like to go straight toward the point, but some things should never be neglected as they concern your life. So do check Safety Precautions on Nespresso Citiz. Now let’s get to the maintenance part.
Nespresso Citiz Coffee Machine Maintenance
Maintenance is the excellent and most effective way to preserve the condition & quality of your Nespresso Citiz coffee machine. It may look a little tiresome, but when you start cleaning your machine on a daily basis (if used regularly), then it will become a good habit of yours. Maintenance could be done differently on different time spans. I will discuss with you how you can do daily, monthly, and yearly maintenance of your machine. Let’s start with the daily maintenance;
Daily Maintenance
If you are using your Nespresso Citiz on a daily basis, then by the end of the day, it is always a good decision to pass your machine through a small cleaning process. Believe me, these minor doings can vastly affect the machine’s life in a positive way. So if you are not doing the daily cleaning up till now, then it’s time for you to start doing it.
Instructions:
As you have used your Nespresso machine for today, now it’s time to wind things up by:
- Remove any used capsule from the capsule compartment by lifting the lever and closing it. The used capsule will fall into the capsule container.
- Remove the Citiz machine’s removable parts like; the drip tray, water tank, capsule container, and drip grid.
- Empty the parts and wash them nicely and either dry them using a soft cloth or set them aside for air drying.
- To clean the machine’s outer covering, use a damp & soft cloth and wipe it.
Monthly Maintenance
Now, moving on to the next stage, which is monthly maintenance. It contains a cleaning or rinsing cycle where you pass your machine through multiple water rinsing cycles to internally clean the machine, and the remaining cleaning process is the same as discussed in the Daily maintenance point above.
To know how to monthly clean your Nespresso Citiz, check the How to clean your Nespresso Citiz guide.
Yearly Maintenance
To further keep the machine in perfect condition internally, here comes Yearly maintenance. In this type, descaling comes in handy. The descaling process must be done twice a year or less depending upon the water hardness level and how much you keep the brewer in a working state.

Descaling
Descaling, as I mentioned in yearly maintenance, is a very important part of the machine’s life. It helps in removing the coffee grounds deposits and limescale made throughout the days and months of usage.
To know the descaling process check How to descale your Nespresso Citiz.
Follow The Nespresso Guidelines
It’s always best to follow what the manufacturer has said about its machine. Because no one knows better how to handle the machine other than the creator itself, I will tell you the Nespresso guidelines which you should follow while making beverages in your Nespresso Citiz.
Avoid Using Arbitrary Capsules
You should not put any random brand capsule in the Nespresso Citiz as their size and manufacturing can vary. Nespresso capsules are made according to the machines working. Using different capsules can affect the brewing mechanism.
The small-sized capsules can cause water leakage in the machine, and large capsules can build unnecessary pressure. So it is important to only use standard-size capsules, which Nespresso itself provides to its users.
Avoid Using Random Agents For Descaling/Cleaning
You should not use any random cleaning agent for cleaning your Nespresso Machine. The Nespresso machine’s inner system is crucial for making beverages, and if any damage occurs due to a random cleaning agent, then your machine could not be able to brew to its fullest quality.
Nespresso recommends only Nespresso Descaling Kit for cleaning the Nespresso coffee machines, including Citiz. So you should also go for the recommended cleaning agent, the Nespresso Descaling kit.
Empty The Nespresso Citiz System Before Giving It A Rest
If you are planning to give the Nespresso Citiz machine a rest due to any reason, for instance, you are going on a trip or shifting the house or sending it for a repair, then emptying the system would be the best thing. It prevents your machine from the mold and keeps the internal system intact.
To know how to empty your machine’s system, you can take help from How to shift the Nespresso Citiz to an emptying mode.
Turn Nespresso Citiz Off If Not In Use
It is one of the preventive measures to turn your Nespresso Citiz machine off if you are not using it for a while, especially if your house has children. Although Nespresso Citiz has a power saving mode, which lets the machine automatically turn OFF after 9 or 30 minutes of continuous non-usage, it also provides a manual turn OFF.
If you want to know more about power saving mode, then you can read How to set Nespresso Citiz to power saving mode.
Check Warranty Coverage In Case Of Technical Issues
Nespresso provides a whole 2-year of warranty to its machines. If your machine faces any problem within the guaranteed time period, you can contact Nespresso for repair or replacement. But exceptional cases are there if the damage is done by you by not following the Nespresso guidelines on usage.
