My Nespresso Vertuo coffee maker had been stuck in the descaling mode for the last 2 days. This was highly disappointing given that I really enjoy having two shots of espresso every morning. I put maybe 10 total full refills of water into the machine and let them run within the descaling mode into a red plastic bowl. Weirdly enough the process of refilling the water and the indicator turning red from overheating just happened over and over again. The solution ended up being only filling up the water reservoir with a small cup a few times in a row and eventually getting the machine to open, closing it and pressing down on the handle button combo, and after that it went back to regular operations. It was a very frustrating situation. I could not just sit and watch the machine malfunction for hours on end. To be clear the engineers working for Nespresso product design should have made an actual physical switch that said descaling mode and if you wanted to turn that off you could switch it back to regular operations. The current weird combo of clicking things and reading color combinations is beyond difficult to use and from reading the comments of many frustrated users online the current design is not very effective.
