Nespresso Vertuo Plus flashing green
The coffee machine hasn’t started running and your Nespresso machine VertuoPlus is blinking green quickly? It’s just that it’s heating up, it will be ready to prepare a coffee in a minute.
A continuous green light when the Nespresso machine is in operation confirms that the machine is working properly.
Nespresso VertuoPlus blinking red
The head of the machine has stopped moving and the Nespresso Vertuo Plus is flashing red? Empty the capsule/pod container and open and close the Nespresso machine head. Resume normal operations, the Nespresso machine should have stopped blinking.
Nespresso Vertuo Plus flashing red twice then steady green
Nespresso VertuoPlus blinking red twice without starting before returning to solid green is a sign of an empty water tank. Just fill it and check that no coffee capsule is stuck in the compartment. Restart the machine for a coffee (don’t forget the coffee capsule!).
Nespresso VertuoPlus is blinking red three times followed by solid red
When the machine Nespresso Vertuo Plus is flashing red three times then stays red, pull the lever up until the Nespresso machine head has stopped moving. Remove anything that may interfere with operations and empty the container of the used pods/capsules. Close the machine, it is ready to operate.

If the NespressoPlus is blinking red twice then orange, a special function is running and is stuck: eject the capsule and relaunch the function by pushing the button.
If the flashing occurs after the start of the mode “Emptying the system”, you need to take out the water tank.

Is your Nespresso Vertuo Plus flashing orange? The Nepresso machine signals that a special function is in progress (descaling, cleaning, emptying system). Everything is normal 🙂
