MODEL-SPECIFIC QUICK ANSWER
Nespresso CitiZ blinking lights and common signals
On the CitiZ, both cup buttons blinking for about 25 seconds is normal warm-up; steady lights mean ready. Fast paired blinking can indicate descaling mode. Follow the CitiZ instructions for exiting that mode, and contact Nespresso if the pattern persists.
