How to reset your Original Line machine to factory settings?

If you encounter an issue with the extraction of your coffee pods, the first step is to reset your machine back to its factory settings. Common issues that can occur include the size or duration of the extraction and pods getting stuck in your machine.

EXTRACTION ISSUES

The extraction time for your pods using the Espresso button should be between 15–30 seconds, and you should be left with around 40 ml of coffee. If you find the extraction is taking longer than 30 seconds or shorter than 15 seconds, try resetting the machine back to factory defaults.

Due to the automatic slider on the Nespresso U machine, sometimes pods can get stuck. Resetting the machine allows you to manually open the slider and remove the pod.
