One helpful hint is to run vinegar through the machine every few weeks. This helps dissolve coffee oils and other residue that can build up in the machine over time. Second way is to use the Keurig needle cleaning tool, fill the silicon bulb of the tool with water till the top, make sure the Keurig is powered off, lift the handle and place the brewer maintenance accessory in the pod holder, make sure the arrows are pointing downwards and the accessory is completely in place.
Keurigs are an amazing invention… but if you use your machine frequently, you likely have a good idea of how finicky they can be. This article basically deals with the Keurig problem. Look, we get it. Your morning coffee should be a quick thing. Rolling out of bed and meandering into the kitchen should be an enjoyable experience. Any time you want a quick caffeine boost of your favorite roast, you should be able to have it.
You invested a lot into your Keurig, so it should bring you back a lot of joy. Okay, first off… we wanted to cover a quick misconception: that of needing to disassemble your entire Keurig.
And furthermore, there is a last resort option to disassemble your machine. But that is only done when all else fails. The primary reason your Keurig gets blocked and your coffee takes ages is due to a blocked water line or channel. Plain and simple. Pour the descaling solution into the reservoir 3.
Run a cleaning brew cycle 4. Brew with water times What if my Keurig is still slow? Since then, his love of coffee — and the number of coffee gadgets he owns — has grown considerably. A scientist by training, there is no stone he has left unturned in the never-ending quest for the perfect cup of coffee.
He has spent many hours tuning his pour-over technique, thinking about how to best compare grind quality, and worrying about whether the Nicaraguan or Kenyan beans will make the best cold brew.
These days he favors the Hario V60, and starts each day by hand grinding his coffee before enjoying a cup prepared with care and attention to detail. Popular Posts. Related posts.

CAUTION: As I have stated in other answers, breathing the fumes from this can be extremely dangerous for your mucosa parts of the eyes, nose, mouth, throat, respiratory tract, and lungs. Other possible problems harder to fix : It could be possible that a seal somewhere in the pump has worn out and air is entering the system as it is being pumped.

Make sure your lemon juice is thoroughly "strained" so that you don't have pulp chunks trying to go through the machine!
I use distilled white vinegar and it generally works fine enough. Certainly a good idea not to breathe the fumes, though. I have used distilled white vinegar as well, but it only lasts a short period of time. NealC You may then try a commercial descaler.
You can find them in many major grocery stores. Citric acid is far more cost effective than lemon juice, has no pulp, and IS what most "commercial descalers" are - vasty priced up from buying a bag of it in the spice aisle at your asian or indian market.

Commercial de-scalers are often based on various acids, such as citric acid-based Dezcal. I wonder why vinegar acetic acid isn't recommended; maybe simply for the reasons that PatrickSebastien mentions above.
I would think it may be financial since the de-scaler is made by Keurig. I also saw the video that shows the instruction and they suggested leaving the solution in the machine at least 30 minutes. I guess it would give it time to dissolve the scaling. I'll try the solution and then let you know if it worked. Angie Angie 21 1 1 bronze badge. Today, I finally figured out why. This spring, I started saving the coffee from the pods for my garden.
