The Nespresso Vertuo coffee maker is advanced but has issues.
A unique feature is that it blinks different colors and rhythms for specific issues.
In this article, we discuss the blue light on the Nespresso Vertuo (which could be described as a teal or purple light) and how to fix it.
What does Nespresso Vertuo Blue Light Mean?
If your Nespresso Vertuo stops working and the blue light turns on, it suggests a problem in one of three areas of the machine.
- The blue light comes on when the capsule container is clogged.
- It could also mean that the machine needs to be descaled.
- It could also signal that there is moisture around the LED.
Why is the Nespresso Vertuo Blue Light On?
The Nespresso Vertuo blue light means that either the capsule container is stuck, or there’s debris from the capsule causing a problem.
It could also be signaling that there is moisture around the LED.
Hopefully, it only means it needs to be descaled. Continue reading to find out the solutions.
What Is the Solution to the Nespresso Blue or Light?
You’ve been asking, “What does the blue light on the Nespresso Vertuo mean?” and now you know.
So let’s talk about solutions.
Solution 1:
A small leak or moisture could be causing the blue or purple light to flash on your Nespresso Vertuo Next coffee maker.
Press the button as you would normally make coffee to fix the problem. The button must be pressed again if it does not work.
If it doesn’t work the first time, then run a cleaning cycle.
Solution 2:
Unplug it and open the head.
Find the part that spins and punctures the capsule at the top. Rotate the needle until it spins freely, and then try to brew coffee.
Unfortunately, these solutions are temporary.
A few days after Vertuo Next stopped working, it unexpectedly started working again.
After encountering the blue light (which could be described as a teal or purple light), it usually stops working again within 2 to 3 days.
Solution 3:
When there is a blockage in the capsule container, the Nespresso Vertuo Next will blink purple or blue.
If this occurs, the capsule container needs to be checked right away. Remove any stuck capsules from the container as soon as possible. You can stop the light from blinking by doing this.
Solution 4:
If nothing else has worked, then contact Nespresso directly for support.
This is the only way to get a replacement machine shipped free of charge. Call Nespresso at 1-800-623-033 for assistance.
If it’s under warranty, they’ll send you another one.

Flashing lights could happen if you accidentally descale a Nespresso machine.
This safety feature will prevent overheating on your machine. Your Nespresso machine needs to be cooled down if you use it excessively.
The machine’s descaling mode might have been accidentally initiated.
Hold both buttons down at the same time for 5 to 6 seconds. It is possible that the device has overheated. It needs to cool for at least 30 minutes.
