Nespresso Vertuo Plus: Green light turning round fast (“fast rotation”)
Coffee is being prepared. Nespresso calls this pattern a fast green rotation; on the Vertuo Next and Pop the same job is shown by a white blink once a second.

What Nespresso says to do
- Nothing to fix: leave the handle locked until the cup is finished.
- If coffee grounds end up in the cup, Nespresso says to run the cleaning procedure twice.
From User manual of Vertuo Plus and Vertuo Next: Vertuo Plus blinking summary (8 patterns) and ‘Troubleshooting’ for Vertuo Next / Vertuo Pop / Vertuo Plus. This is the Vertuo Plus’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.
