It <strong>needs to be scalding as you brew<\/strong>, and your Nespresso coffee maker is <strong>designed to bring water to this temperature<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Nespresso coffee maker has its own way of <strong>regulating its internal temperature<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It <strong>may still overheat<\/strong> from time to time. It\u2019s dangerous to have your coffee maker <strong>working at high temperatures<\/strong>. It could <strong>damage some sensitive parts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can tell when your Nespresso coffee maker is overheating. The orange indicator light will <strong>fade in and out subtly<\/strong>, hinting at <strong>the high temperatures<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fear not:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can <strong>easily remedy this problem<\/strong>. <strong>Hold down the power button<\/strong> to shut off your Nespresso coffee maker. Let it <strong>sit unpowered for a minute<\/strong>, then turn it back on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leave the machine to cool down while powered <strong>for 7-10 minutes<\/strong>. The <strong>fading indicator light<\/strong> should stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it persists, your machine <strong>may be in descaling mode<\/strong>.
