Let’s see:

  • It has been a long time since you descale your coffee maker. That’s why the coffee is not hot enough. As the mineral builds up, calcium and magnesium affect the heating system. As a result, you can’t get a hot cup of coffee.

If there is something(possibly a capsule) in the capsule container, put that off. Make the capsule container clear. Now you can close the lever completely to operate your Nespresso properly.
