By default, the Nespresso Inissia dispenses only a small amount of coffee. If you read the manual rather than throwing it away, it states that you’re meant to calibrate the cup size yourself to match your individual taste.

This short guide will show you how to program the volume of coffee that your Nespresso machine outputs for both the espresso and lungo sizes. Coffee is awesome.

Here’s everything you’ll need to complete this guide:

To do this, press either of the top buttons once to turn the machine on. They will begin to flash. After they stop flashing, the machine is preheated.

Hold down one of the buttons to calibrateHold down one of the buttons to calibrate

Choose which coffee size you’d like to calibrate first (espresso or lungo). I started with espresso.

Hold down the espresso button and continue to hold it until the desired level of coffee is in your cup. Then, release the button. After releasing it, your Nespresso machine is programmed to dispense that same level of coffee!

Repeat with the other button for the other size coffee.

Enjoy your coffee!Enjoy your coffee!

Now you have the perfect strength and volume.
