Setup

Unpacking

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts are present before discarding packaging materials. The bundle includes the Keurig K-2500 coffee maker, 12 Bestpresso Donut Shop Medium Roast K-Cup Pods, and 4 Bestpresso Breakfast Blend K-Cup Pods.

Placement

Place the coffee maker on a stable, level surface. Ensure there is adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation and access.

Water Supply Connection

The Keurig K-2500 is designed for direct water line plumbing. This allows for continuous water supply without the need for manual refilling. For optimal performance and beverage taste, it is recommended to pair plumbed brewers with an Omnipure Water Filter Kit (sold separately).

If direct plumbing is not desired or feasible, an optional 110 oz. water reservoir can be purchased separately and attached to the unit. Refer to the reservoir's specific instructions for installation.

Refer to the on-screen prompts or Keurig's official website for detailed descaling instructions using a Keurig descaling solution.
