Nespresso Original
Choose the Original machine you actually own.
Original capsules are shared across the family, but descaling controls, milk systems and maintenance prompts are not. Ventori keeps the major current and widely owned Original machines on their own model guides.
Original maintenance
One capsule system. Several different care routines.
Start with your machine, then use the task sections inside its page rather than borrowing a button sequence from another Original model.
Current UK range
Current Original models with dedicated maintenance pages.
Nespresso UK's current comparison and shop range includes Essenza Mini, Pixie, CitiZ, CitiZ Platinum, Lattissima and Creatista families. Ventori separates milk-equipped variants where the maintenance routine changes.
Compact Original
Essenza Mini
A compact two-button Original machine. The maintenance routine is simple, but the Espresso + Lungo control sequence makes it worth keeping the descale instructions with the exact model.

Compact Original
Pixie
Pixie is still a core Original model, but there are multiple generations in use. Routine cleaning is straightforward; the exact descale button-hold time should be checked against the machine generation.

CitiZ
CitiZ uses the familiar two-button Original layout. Keep the coffee-machine routine separate from any Aeroccino you may use alongside it.

Original + Aeroccino
CitiZ & Milk
CitiZ & Milk combines a CitiZ coffee machine with a separate Aeroccino. The coffee path and milk frother therefore have two distinct care routines.

CitiZ Platinum
CitiZ Platinum adds extra drink functions to the CitiZ platform, including a dedicated hot-water path. Use its own assistance flow rather than assuming the classic CitiZ descale controls are identical.

Original + milk
Lattissima One
Lattissima One combines Original capsule brewing with an integrated milk system, so the milk carafe becomes a recurring maintenance task alongside the water-path descale cycle.

Gran Lattissima
Gran Lattissima adds a larger one-touch milk system to the Original platform. Treat coffee-path cleaning, milk-system cleaning and descaling as three different jobs.

Original + steam wand
Creatista Plus
Creatista Plus combines Original capsule brewing with an automatic steam wand. Steam care is therefore as important as the normal capsule-area and descaling routine.

Creatista Pro
Creatista Pro uses a touchscreen-led care flow and an automatic steam wand. The machine interface should be the primary guide for cleaning and descaling prompts.

Open maintenance guide →Still supported & widely owned
Do not hide older machines that are still in kitchens.
Nespresso UK machine assistance still lists several older Original models. Ventori keeps the most relevant of those visible instead of collapsing them into one generic legacy note.
Original + milk
Lattissima Touch
Lattissima Touch is no longer central to the current shop range but remains widely owned and is still included in Nespresso UK machine assistance.

Creatista Uno
Creatista Uno remains supported by Nespresso UK and shares the capsule-plus-steam-wand maintenance pattern of the Creatista family.
Open maintenance guide →Legacy Original
Inissia
Inissia is a legacy Original machine that remains common in UK homes and is still supported in Nespresso machine assistance, so it keeps its own maintenance route.
Open maintenance guide →Original care basics
The shared routine stays simple.
The exact controls vary, but the recurring jobs are consistent: keep the capsule path tidy, maintain fresh water, clean milk parts promptly where fitted and descale with the correct model programme.
Refresh water and clean the drip tray and capsule container.
Wash removable parts and wipe accessible coffee-contact surfaces.
Clean the Aeroccino, milk carafe or steam wand where your model has one.
Descale using the exact model sequence, or follow an earlier machine alert.
