What Nespresso says to do
- Wait: the light turns steady white when the machine is ready.
- If it keeps going and the machine does not run, check that a fresh capsule is in the right position, the handle is locked and the water tank is filled.
From Vertuo Next — My Machine (user manual): ‘Blinking summary’ (p. 29) and ‘Troubleshooting’ (p. 30). This is the Vertuo Next’s pattern; another Nespresso machine may use the same light for something else — check the manual for your model.

The same need shows up as a different light on each machine — which is why a light cannot be read without the machine.
