    Using vinegar to clean your coffee or espresso makers is great not just for descaling but also great to remove any coffee residue and to disinfect it as well. Fill up the water tank with half water and half vinegar.

    Maybe a power or overheating issue. It's shutting itself down to prevent damage. Time to buy a new one.

    If your coffee machine's lights are flashing and no water is dispensing after descaling, it likely indicates an incomplete descaling cycle or a sensor issue.

    What should I do if my Magimix coffee machine's small and large coffee buttons run for different durations (13 seconds and 9 seconds, respectively) after descaling?

    If your Magimix Nespresso machine's small and large cup buttons produce different brew times after descaling, its cup size memory may have been affected. You can try resetting the machine to its factory settings and then reprogramming the cup sizes.

    What should I do if my coffee machine does not return to brew mode after cleaning it?

    If your coffee machine remains in cleaning mode, first try power cycling it by unplugging, waiting a few seconds, and then plugging it back in. If that does not work, check for any debris or residue obstructing sensors or buttons, ensure all parts are properly aligned, and confirm the water tank is correctly connected. If the issue persists, a factory reset or professional servicing may be necessary.
