The lifespan of your Nespresso machine depends heavily on several key factors. Frequency of use is a large factor, as an office machine that experiences heavy daily usage will naturally wear out faster compared to a personal machine used only a couple of times per day. Proper maintenance routines and appropriate storage can guarantee 5-10 years of reliable performance from your machine. The type of water you use also matters, as hard water can negatively affect the machine's lifespan. If hard water is common in your area, it's advisable to choose a Nespresso machine specifically designed to handle hard water. All of these things can extend your machine's performance and efficiency.
