SOURCE: Keurig B70 brews but only brews a little bit,

Check the reservoir to see if it seems warmer than justified. If so, then the little check valve that causes the pumping action is being blocked by a lime buildup or some other debris particle and not closing when it must to force water into the heating element.
Try pouring some plain white vinegar into the water chamber after emptying, turn the machine on briefly to allow it to start, finally, allow it to sit overnight.
Turn the maker on and pump the remaining vinegar through it without filter or coffee. Rinse the reservoir out and then run clear water through it to remove any remaining vinegar.
If this didn't help, then the check-valve may have failed and would have to be replaced.
Although I wouldn't do it with a friend's coffee maker, I have used Lime Away instead of vinegar but I don't leave it overnight since this can damage the aluminum of the heater element. It hasn't so far, but it can.

You could be correct in your assessment and if so, as long as the device is under warranty it needs to go back for servicing. If you open the chambers, the warranty is Void and the device a boat anchor.

Keurig not brewing

Our unit (the mini) would only blink red but would not brew. It didn't make any noise and seemed like it was dead. To fix this, leave the unit plugged in but powered off. If you haven't already done so, add water to the top of the unit and then open the pod holder so that the water flows into the internal storage tank. Hold the brew button in (don't let go until it is done brewing) and the light will turn on - after a while it will start brewing. Let go of the button once it has finished brewing. According to a Keurig rep - this problem is often caused by using cold water straight from the fridge.

My keurig says I need to descale.How?

Descaling depends the size of the reservoir. I see the B60 but not the B66 at the Keurig site. The two units are apparently the same from searching the support side of the Keurig site: http://www.keurig.com .

For the Mini coffee makers, you use 20 oz of vinegar (2 10 oz cycles). For the larger Keurig units, it takes 48 oz of vinegar.

In either case, fill the reservoir with vinegar and put a large ceramic (12 oz mug for the mini unit) mug on the drip tray. Do not add a K-cup. For the B60 (and probably the B66), press the Brew button. Discard the vinegar after the cycle. Repeat the brew process until Add Water is indicated. Discard the vinegar each time. Then wait 4 hours with the unit on. Discard the remaining vinegar and rinse the reservoir. Fill the reservoir with 48 oz of water and brew several cups without a K-cup until the "Add water" message appears. Discard the water in the mug each time. Repeat the vinegar cleaning if De-scale still appears in the LCD. Run more water without the K-cup if you notice a remaining taste in the coffee after the rinse procedure.

For the mini, fill the reservoir with 10 oz of water, lift the Brewer handle and lower it after 5 seconds with no K-cup in the unit. Press the Brew button. Discard the vinegar after the cycle. After the first cycle, pour the other 10 oz of vinegar into the Cold Water Reservoir. Lift the handle and lower it after 5 seconds. Press the Brew button and wait until the light becomes steady. When vinegar starts to be dispensed, power off the unit. Wait 30 minutes. Then power on the unit and lift and lower the handle again. Then discard the vinegar after the cycle. Next run 4 rinse brew cycles with 10 oz of water each time. Discard the water each time. The unit should be ready to brew with a K-cup after the 4 rinse cycles.

I hope this helps.
