The Essential Guide to Descaling Your Keurig
Keurig coffee makers are a popular choice for many coffee drinkers, but they require regular maintenance to keep them running smoothly. Descaling your Keurig is an important part of this maintenance and should be done every 3-6 months depending on how often you use it. This guide will provide you with the essential information you need to descale your Keurig and keep it running like new.
What is Descaling?
Descaling is the process of removing mineral deposits from the inside of your Keurig. These deposits can build up over time and can cause your machine to run slower or even stop working altogether. By descaling regularly, you can ensure that your Keurig will continue to make delicious coffee for years to come.
How to Descale Your Keurig
Descaling your Keurig is a simple process that only takes a few minutes. First, fill the water reservoir with equal parts white vinegar and water. Then, place a large mug on the drip tray and press the “Brew” button without inserting a K-Cup. Let the mixture brew for about 30 seconds before turning off the machine and letting it sit for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, turn the machine back on and let it finish brewing before discarding the mixture in the sink. Finally, fill the reservoir with fresh water and repeat the brewing process two more times to rinse out any remaining vinegar residue.
Maintenance Tips
Once you’ve descaled your Keurig, there are a few things you can do to keep it running smoothly. Make sure to empty out any leftover coffee grounds from used K-Cups before inserting a new one into your machine. Additionally, wipe down any exterior surfaces with a damp cloth every few weeks to remove any buildup of dirt or grime. Finally, always use filtered water when filling up your reservoir as this will help reduce mineral buildup over time.
Descaling your Keurig regularly is an important part of keeping it running smoothly and making delicious coffee for years to come. By following this essential guide, you’ll be able to descale your machine quickly and easily while also taking steps to maintain it properly in between descaling sessions.
