Kashering a Coffee Machine

Question

I saw that the Rabbi wrote regarding a coffee machine that in order to kasher it, a technician needs to disassemble something and reassemble it. If I want to do this myself, which part of a Nespresso machine needs to be disassembled in order to kasher the machine?

Answer

Shalom u'vrachah 

There is no specific part that needs to be disassembled. 

One must disassemble a part that disables the use of the appliance, and that not every person knows how to or is able to repair. Rather, it must be something defined as a “craftsman’s act.” 

On the other hand, it is not necessary for a professional technician to do the disassembly; rather, any person may perform a complicated or complex repair that requires skill.
