How to Set Cup Size Programming for Nespresso Original Machines

Sometimes users will want to reset the cup sizes on their Nespresso machines, which will require them to return it to factory settings. In order to put an Essenza Mini back to factory settings, the individual must turn the machine off and begin to hold down the lungo button for five continuous seconds. Once the lights blink three times fast, it indicates that the machine has returned to factory settings and the cup sizes will now be at their standard amounts of 40 ml for espresso and 110 ml for lungo.

Pro Tip: Use Gourmesso's coffee capsules to get the most out of your brew. Starting at $.39 per capsule, Fairtrade Certified, and over 26 blends to choose from. Check them out here.

Step 1:

In order to program the cup size of a Pixie machine, the individual first needs to push down the rectangular black power button on the front of the machine to turn it on.

Step 2:

As soon as the lights have stopped blinking, the user can insert their capsule that is compatible with Nespresso machines into the top of the machine and put their appropriate sized cup underneath of the valve.

Step 3:

They then need to press down either the espresso or lungo button, depending on which one they are interested in programming, and keep pressure on it until the level of the coffee has reached their desired amount.

Step 4:

Once they let go of the button, the machine will remember the amount of coffee that was poured and will program that amount to be the new standard for that button. So next time that they want a cup of coffee, all they need to do is press either the espresso or lungo button, depending on which one has been programmed, and the machine will automatically pour that same amount.

If a mistake was made or the user just wants to go back to the default cup size settings, then they need to reset their Nespresso machine back to factory settings. In order to do this for a Pixie machine, they first need to turn off the machine and then press and hold the lungo button while they turn the machine back on. Both buttons should now be reset to factory settings of 40 ml for espresso and 110 ml for lungo.

Resetting their Nespresso machine is the best way to bring the cup sizes back to their standard amounts. In order to do this, they first need to turn off the machine by pressing both the espresso and lungo buttons simultaneously. Once the machine is off, they then need to press and hold the lungo button for five seconds until both buttons begin to flash three times. The machine will now be reset to the standard settings of 40 ml for espresso and 110 ml for lungo.

Step 1:

The first step to programming the cup sizes of a lattissima plus machine is to turn it on by pushing down the black power button on the back top corner.

Step 2:

Once the buttons finished flashing, the user can insert their Nespresso compatible capsule and put their cup underneath of the valve.

Step 3:

They then need to press whichever button they would like to program and keep it held down until the coffee has reached the desired level.

Step 4:

Once the user lets go of the button, the machine will now be programmed to pour that exact amount of coffee any time that they press that specific button.

Resetting Nespresso machines is a fairly easy process to get the cup sizes back to their factory settings. To do this with a lattissima plus machine, the user needs to hold down the cappuccino, espresso, lungo, and latte macchiato buttons all at the same time for five seconds until all of the lights blink three times. The machine will now be returned to its standard sizes of 40 ml for espresso and 110 ml for lungo.
