Fire-Protection Hi, In my department we use a coffee brewer Cicilware Century 2000. This is a great brewer, but now our local Fire-Department has demand that all small-electrical machines must be disconnected when they are unused. The reason for this drastic solution is our location in arctic area. The cold temperature causes a low air humidity witch makes ours flattops extremely flammable. A part of the idea with the Century 2000 is of course that the water for brewing is hot already when you have to use it, so that the brewing-time is minimized. This will be a feature we can?t use with Fires new demands coursed it has to be disconnected when it not is brewing coffee. I am looking for some really good arguments to Fire according to the fire-protection in the Century 2000 (I am an Electrical Technician) ? Argues who can confess Fire that there are no risk with having the brewer running. We have mounted a time-relay for disconnecting the brewer in the weekend and the nights but still Fire is not convinced of the security/protection. Thanks,

Mine has been doing the same thing.  I alkso received one at Chriustmas and it worked great for a few months.  Below is the answer I received from Keurig:

It is possible that the needle that penetrates the K-Cup has become clogged.  Please follow these simple steps to clean it:

Turn off the brewer and unplug it.

Reach under the nozzle (where the coffee comes out) and press up on the bottom of the funnel.  The K-Cup holder will pop out.               

Separate the K-Cup holder into two pieces.  The top piece of the K-Cup holder is where the exit needle is located.

Use a paper clip to clear the exit needle by putting the paper clip in the tube on the underside of the holder. Be careful, the exit needle is sharp.

Wash the K-Cup holder with soap and water, rinse thoroughly.  Also make sure the drawer is clean.

Put K-Cup holder back into the drawer, making sure it snaps into place.

Plug the brewer in and turn on.

Run two cleansing brews (brew without a K-Cup) through the machine, and then brew a cup of coffee.

If you still find grinds in your coffee, it would be best for you to talk to a representative to help troubleshoot your problem and discuss your options.  This could be caused by too much pressure sealed inside the K-Cup or the filter alignment may be off.  Please contact our customer service department at 1-866-901-BREW (2739).  Representatives are available 7 days a week from 7 a.m. – 12:00 Midnight EST to assist you.  Please have the serial number of your brewer available for when you call. 

The serial number for the Mini is located on the bottom of the brewer on a silver sticker.

For the Classic, Ultimate and Select, is located on a sticker behind the drip tray. 

For the Elite, Ultra, Special Edition and Platinum it may be located either on the bottom of the brewer on a white sticker or, behind the drip tray.

Sincerely,
