De scale kruig coffe maker

Empty the reservoir of water and fill it with four (4) cups of white vinegar. Run the Keurig WITHOUT a K-Cup until the vinegar has been run through. Rinse out the reservoir with hot water, dry it, then fill with cold water normally used to make coffee. Run the maker 3 times, or until vinegar taste disappears.

Good luck!

Coffee maker will not make but one size cup

If your brewer is not brewing the full amount selected, it may be caused by the following:
  • The exit needle is clogged by coffee grounds or cocoa mix. Please refer to the K-Cup Holder cleaning instructions.
  • The brewer may need to be de-scaled. Please refer to the de-scaling instructions.
  • The removable water reservoir was removed during brewing. Place the water reservoir back onto the brewer and perform a cleansing brew without a K-Cup.
First try to make a descale maybe repeat it the next day.

It does not do a full cup....I have gotten it to finish when starting over but now I cant get the water to run out at all...

With the coffee maker unplugged and an empty cup in place, I filled the reservoir with filtered water and with a short length of flexible plastic tubing I blew in to the small hole in the bottom of the reservoir. I did this 4 or 5 times sucking some water in to the tube to force it through the system. When I had finished there were a lot of grounds in the cup and the next time I used the coffee maker it worked perfectly.

I have the issue of slow flow and the water goes to the bypass at the same time as brewing so I get "short" cups. Did the de-scaling... but no resolution. I can even get good flow from the...

Hi, Don, W/D here.

There's not a lot of troubleshooting advise out there for Keurigs, but here are a few things to try:

Try brewing a cup, without the K-cup in the holder. As the brewing cycle starts, hold your finger over the return line to the reservoir (lift the lid to the reservoir; it's in the top, back, and it's white). Careful, there could be hot water there. Plug the hole off with a gloved finger and this will run the cycle longer, and may unplug it. De-scaling may have moved some of the accrued sediment into the dispensing lines.
If you haven't tried it, try cleaning the upper and lower tips. Take an ordinary paper clip and straighten it into an "L" with the short side about 1" long. Pass this end up into the upper piercing needle (careful-sharp!) and down into the lower needle. Sometimes, it takes several tries to clear the needles.
If you try the needle clearing, then try plugging off the by pass. Repeat as necessary.


Hope that this helps you, --W/D--

Does not brew coffee consistencty, water does not always flow from res tank...even if water flows down from tank the machine will make the heat noise show brew ready and when u push the button it either...

Sorry to read about your issue.

The brewer should be de-scaled at least every 3-6 months. Scale is harmless, but if left unattended, it can hinder optimal brewer performance. De-scaling your brewer regularly helps maintain the heating element, removable water reservoir and other parts of the brewer that come in contact with water. Better water quality and water heating means a better cup of coffee, tea, hot cocoa or iced beverage. We recommend de-scaling your brewer at least every 6 months (every 3 months if your water has a high mineral content). The de-scaling process involves using 48 ounces of undiluted white vinegar.

Take 48 oz of white vinegar. place in tank. pretend you are making coffee (Do No Use K Cup). let the water fill you mug. then empty that mug. Do it again until tank is empty. then let sit for 4 hours.
Then fill with fresh water to the top. let that tank of water run thru. towards the end taste the water.
If you taste vinegar..use more clean water, until the taste is ok.

When trying to brew a cup of coffee it drips slow like it is clogged

Hi, RICHBURG511. Sounds like similar a problem I had with my Keurig Coffee maker. Your pump may be plugged with mineral deposit build-up (calcium) from the minerals normally found in your water. Do you use regular tap water or filter it in any manner?
When was the last time you de-scaled your Keurig? Empty your reservoir of water, and pour a bottle of white vinegar into the reservoir. Run the maker through several cycles to ensure the vinegar has worked its way throughout the ‘guts’ of your maker, and then let it sit for 2-4 hours.
Empty any remaining vinegar from the reservoir and then cycle at least two full reservoirs of water through to flush the vinegar out. When you stop smelling vinegar in your coffee cup, you’ll know when there’s no vinegar left inside.
Here’s the ‘poop’ straight from Keurig, direct. Just follow the links.
Good luck, I hope this helps! – Howard, Burke, VA
