Maintenance

Cleaning

  • Drip Tray: The drip tray can hold an accidental overflow. Remove and wash it with warm, soapy water.
  • Water Reservoir: Clean the removable water reservoir regularly with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
  • K-Cup Pod Holder: Remove the K-Cup pod holder and wash it with warm, soapy water. Ensure the exit needle is clear.
  • Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the brewer with a damp cloth.

Descaling

Mineral deposits can build up in your coffee maker over time, affecting performance. Descale your brewer every 3 to 6 months, or more frequently if you have hard water. Refer to the official Keurig descaling solution instructions or use a vinegar solution:

  1. Empty the water reservoir.
  2. Fill the reservoir halfway with white vinegar and the rest with water.
  3. Place a large mug on the drip tray (without a K-Cup pod).
  4. Run several brew cycles until the reservoir is empty.
  5. Rinse the reservoir and fill with fresh water. Run several fresh water cycles to flush out any vinegar residue.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Solution
Brewer does not turn on. Not plugged in; power outage. Ensure the brewer is securely plugged into a grounded outlet. Check the circuit breaker.
No water or partial brew. Insufficient water in reservoir; mineral buildup; clogged needles. Ensure enough water is added for the desired brew size. Perform descaling. Clean the K-Cup pod holder and check for clogged needles.
Water overflowing from reservoir. Clogged internal components. This indicates a severe clog. Perform descaling immediately. If the issue persists, contact Keurig Customer Service.
Coffee grounds in cup. K-Cup pod not seated correctly; exit needle clogged. Ensure the K-Cup pod is properly inserted. Clean the K-Cup pod holder and exit needle.
