But when was the last time you actually cleaned the vessel that makes your coffee?
No, wiping off the finger smudges by the “on” button doesn’t count.
But it’s more than just ensuring your coffeetastes good, it’s also a matter of health.
Simply descaling your machine is not enough, however.
It’s easy to get it back into showroom-new working order.
You want the coffee to be a jolt to your system not an actual electrical current.
Then, disengage the water reservoir, and all other removable parts like the mug stand and K-cup holder.
Wash these in warm soapy water and thoroughly dry them.
Once all the parts are dry, reassemble your Keurig and plug it back in.
Next, you want to prepare the cleaning solution, and spin up the Keurig.
Fill the rest of the water reservoir with fresh water.
Place a large ceramic mug that can hold the contents of the largest coffee setting on the mug stand.
initiate the Keurig without a K-cup, and keep repeating the process until the reservoir is empty.
Remember to empty the mug after each cycle so it doesn’t overflow (viaFood52).
Finally, you want to rinse out the machine, according toThe Kitchn.
Your machine is now clean and ready to use.
