How do you clean the milk system of your Nespresso De'Longhi Lattissima?

To enjoy your Nespresso Lattissima for a long time, it's important to clean the milk system daily. The task only takes a few minutes. Rinse the milk system after every milk specialty, and rinse all parts under the faucet. We'll explain step by step how to clean your Lattissima.

Get started with the milk system

If you clean the milk system daily, you prevent caked milk residue and defects. We'll explain how to prevent his in these steps:

  • Step 1. Use the 'clean' button after every milk specialty.
  • Step 2. Clean all separate parts.

You need:

  • Container of at least 100ml
  • Mild detergent

Use the De’Longhi EcoMultiClean milk cleaner

We recommend using the De'Longhi EcoMultiClean as a cleaner. This milk cleaner makes sure all remaining milk residue disappears. That way, bacteria don't get the chance to form in the milk system.

Step 1: use the 'clean' button after every milk specialty

These steps only apply to the Gran Lattissima, the Lattissima Pro, and the Lattissima Touch:

  1. Place the container of at least 100ml under the steam wand.
  2. Turn the dial on the top of the milk tank to 'clean'.
  3. The milk system gives off hot water via the steam wand right away.
  4. The rinse stops automatically.
  5. Turn the dial on top of the milk tank to the froth position.
  6. You can now easily make the next milk specialty.

Step 2: clean all separate parts

These steps apply to all Nespresso Lattissima models:

  1. Remove the milk system from the machine as soon as you're done with a milks specialty.
  2. Take all separate parts apart.
  3. Clean all separate parts in the dishwasher. Don't you have a dishwasher? Let all parts soak in warm water with mild detergent for 30 minutes. Rinse all parts thoroughly under the faucet afterwards.
  4. Dry all parts and put the milk system back together.
