When it comes to brewing a delicious cup of coffee it’s hard to beat the convenience and simplicity of a Keurig coffee maker. Simply insert a pod and press a button for a tasty flavorful beverage served up in no time. Using a Keurig is an automatic reliable step in many people’s daily routines but if you don’t clean your coffee maker regularly you might be surprised when it stops working properly. That’s why it’s better to stick to a regular cleaning schedule than to clean it on a whim.

Cleaning and descaling your Keurig is essential to keeping your machine in working order by removing and preventing mineral buildup bacteria and mold. The result is a better-tasting hygienic cup of coffee for you and your loved ones. The parts of the machine may vary depending on your Keurig model but the cleaning schedule is generally the same. However your cleaning schedule will be affected by how often you use your coffee maker – as with any kitchen appliance more use means more cleaning.
Wipe up any spills in the drip tray daily and always remove used pods. It’s also a good idea to change the water daily. Clean all removable parts at least once a week by scrubbing them in warm soapy water. Every three to six months run vinegar through your machine to clean and descale the internal parts of the Keurig to remove mineral buildup. Finally don’t forget to clean the needle as needed and replace the carbon water filter every two months (or after 60 tank fills if you don’t use your Keurig daily).
Before removing and cleaning your Keurig components make sure the machine is turned off and cooled down. Wash the external parts with dish soap at least weekly to remove any remaining coffee grounds and oils and to prevent bacteria and mold from forming. This includes the water reservoir drip tray and pod holder on the lid. Remove the filter and set it aside before washing the water reservoir.
